I would like to know if some one has an aswer or feedback for me.

I applied together with my husband and he got FP notice for 4.14.10. I haven't received anything yet. There was a mistake on my date of birth and I called and I already received an email stating that the correct information has been post on my alien number. Additional to this, I did get a copy of my Green Card last year and the process started on July. Will I need to do FP again or this will be the reason why I haven't received FP notice. Could it be that since I had a mistake on my information, the whole process got delayed?

Thank you for all your comments
 
I haven't received an interview date yet. However I got a letter from USCIS yesterday, it was a yellow piece of paper, saying that I have to bring it to my interview along with my state issued ID. Did you all receive this notice prior to receiving your interview letters?

I never received a yellow letter.
The only three things I received were: Receipt for N400 application, Notice to appear to do biometrics and Notice to appear for interview.
 
My mom's interview is on Thursday! I hope she doesn't screw it up. She has proof from the hostpital visits, as well as a notarised letter I wrote for her explaining the circumstances surrounding her visits. Hopefully it's sufficient. I will let you guys know how it turns out. Thanks for your good wishes.
 
So my mom's re-interview was today. She had to explain again to a female IO why she went to her COP. The IO didn't say much. She just asked questions and wrote down what my mom explained. She then took from my mom the notarised letter explaining why she went, the hospital records, and pictures of her parents (I'm not sure if they kept those). Then she said thanks, and my mom had to ask when they would let her know if she was approved. She was told that they would send a letter in about 3 weeks.

This is all really annoying and unnerving. I don't know why my mom gets the tough IOs. Anyway, we'll have to wait and see, eh? If she is denied based on this, the lawyer she consulted said she'd represent her because apparently CIS is causing excessive trouble for a derivative asylee who returned to her COP 10 years after she left.
 
Mark my words: she would get approval letter within three weeks.

In 2009, a San Francisco law firm was rounded up for filing numerous fraudulent asylum cases; as a result they had to re-interview 700-plus asylees. I am not sure it has anything to do with them re-interviewing your mom.

Anyway, unless they found some "other" damaging evidence, there is just not much for them to do anything. This is a country that you can bring your grief to the Courts. You know that; they know that... Keep us posted.

dont worry, your mother will get the oath letter within 3 to 5 days
 
You think? I hope so, guys. Then I can visit her and maybe go to her oath ceremony and make sure she properly applies for her passport, hehe.
 
thanks CafeconLeche for keeping us informed. I am a derivative asylee, and am about to file my N-400 application. I find my situation to be different since I have gone to my COP several times due to I was pursuing a degree there, but am afraid that the I.O. will give me a hard time. I never overstayed the 6 month period, and even before traveling to my COP the first-time, I called the USCIS office to inquire about my trip and they told me that since I was an LPR, I no longer had the derivative asylee status and therefore I had the same rights than other LPR. My travel took place 7 years after my family was granted asylum, and 3 years after I received my LPR.

LPR received: 03/2005
