2011 October N400 Tracker

Got a letter yesterday stating that my fingerprints had expired (From removal of conditions Jan 30 2011), and I have to get new fingerprints done within 90 days, so will be getting that done in the next day or so.

But here is my question: I thought fingerprints were good for 15 months, so they are really not expiring till April 30th 2012, but even if it the fingerprints were only good for 12 months, then they had already expired January 30th 2012, so USCIS waited 2 months to tell me that my fingerprints had expired??? :mad:

Not sure I understand exactly what you are asking, but I'd suggest posting your question in the general US Citizenship forum so it gets more visibility. Usually the knowledgeable people don't read the monthly trackers.
 
Good to hear! Yes, all the details will be in the letter...And you'll probably get sworn in on the same day!

X3-T - No, I haven't got it yet. Its been 4 weeks since I applied. The wait time has got longer since this month. Their website says processing time is now between 4-6 weeks.

so it should be anytime now.. I am sure you must be aware of online tracking site for passport.
 
Hello everyone,

In my last post i wrote that i had lost my interview letter, but before i called up USCIS, i found my letter in my car.


Alright so had my interview yesterday at Detroit,Mi.

This is how it went -

I was at the office at 9:00 am, the interview was scheduled at 9:30am. I went to the window and notified that i have came in for my interview. It wasn't till 9:40 that the officer came out and took me inside to her office.

She basically went through the file, and asked questions(same questions as the N400 form), i gave her an update about my recent travels, which she calculated the days for and added it to my application.
After making the changes to the application, she took my Civics test, she asked me 6 questions and i got all 6 right. After that was the reading and writing test.
Then she made me sign a couple things, checked my Selective service registration, and then printed me a conformation saying that i have passed the test, and she will recommend me for naturalization.

I didn't get a oath date(and from the way she was taking, i think it is going to take sometime).

So that was it, i was out of there in less than 15 minutes.

punjboy - Congratulations! Hope you get your Oath date soon.

LOL! Happens....but am glad you found the letter.
 
Thanks guys, wouldn't have been possible without your guys help and this forum.

For now i am just patiently waiting for my oath letter. My IO did mention there is one on the 12th April, but she was not sure if i was init, or if i could get init.

Quick question though -

She did said, that the oath will be held to somewhere closer to me, and i don't have to come to Detroit for it. Since i live quiet far from Detroit, it made sense. Now do all places(different cities) have oath ceremonies simultaneously on the same day ? I am not sure how it works ?

I might have to travel in April too, for once i think i should just travel with my Naturalization certificate, but i know i am going to be Harassed by DHS when i come back.


Any thoughts ?

You can apply for expedited passport. Check out the Detroit Passport Agency. Make sure to make an appointment now so that you can go there and apply for fast processing.

Enjoy the Oath ceremony and Good Luck!

I never could figure it out. I was in line for Oath scheduling since 1/5/2012, and even though there were three Oath Ceremonies in Memphis between January and March (I live across the State line, 5 miles into Mississippi) they scheduled me in Oxford, MS which is 72 miles from where I live!
I know people that also live in MS and they got scheduled in Memphis.
So you can expect almost everything, but whatever it is, you'll be sworn in in no time!

If there are urgent travel needs, you can schedule an appointment directly with passport agency (not through usps or third party). They could issue you passport on either same day or next day depending on what time of day, your appointment is.

Good Luck,
