Atlanta N 400
- Thread starter jattindc1
- Start date
My Atlanta timeline:
Application: 8-29-2003
Fingerprint: 10-18-2003
Atlanta Office scheduled a large number of both N-400 and EAD applicants for fingerprinting at the same time.
I waited for 2 hours after my appointed time. FP itself took about 12 minutes.

Fingerprinting is done at an Application Support Center (ASC). The BCIS site lists Atlanta as the only ASC for Georgia.

Atlanta Timeline
Application PD: 10-29-2003
Fingerprint: 12-13-2003
Interview: ? Based on prior timeline, I'm guessing 07-12-2004
PD on NOA and Fingerprinting notice is different from Online Status PD by about 7 days, I'm not sure which one BCIS will use.
Also I had a a typographical error in my middle name which I sent three correction to TSC, and Atlanta with no reply.

Atlanta N- 400 Timeline from another forum
USA immigration time line
I have found this forum useful for me, so I feel it would be helpful to share my experience in getting US citizenship with others.
I applied 04/07/03 (n-400)
application notification 04/17/03
fingerprint notice ~ 05/03
fingerprints 06/03
interview notice 07/03
interview AND oath 9/15/03 (they do it the same day)
the whole process took 5 months - start to finish.
my status was permanent resident - Canadian Citizen
I live in Atlanta and all immigration activities were in Atlanta

Unexpired Passport for Interview
Based on my estimation, my passport will expire on or around the same time as my interview. I'm trying to avoid paying the fees to renew it, since after the oath, I intend to apply for a US Passport.
Question: Does anyone know or have information as to whether a current (unexpired) passport is required at the time of the interview and/or oath.
Just for kicks: I find myself keeping to speed limits, and have postponed all travel plans till this is over, feels like life is on hold somehow. Anyone else feel the same way?

My wife and I had our citizenship interviews today.
My wife went in first and was out in about 5 minutes carrying a beaming smile. The interviewer had asked her to verify selected information on N-400, asked a few civics questions and congratulated her on passing.
My turn was next. The interviewer said that the photographs I had sent in with the application were not acceptable. They were too bright and glossy. She sent me to a room in the building to have my photos retaken at cost to me of $13.
When I returned with the new photos, she summoned me in, verified selected information on N-400, asked for court dispositions regarding speeding citations, asked a few civics questions and congratulated me for passing. My interview lasted about 7 minutes.
No questions were asked about long trips abroad we took over 5 years ago. No questions were asked about filing of tax.
Both of us now await our oath ceremonies, about which we will be notified by mail.

I cannot say how many interviews were scheduled today. But, while we were in the building, there were about 7 or 8 other interviewees waiting. Some of these were waiting for Adjustment of Status. We arrived about 10 minutes before the interview and hence did not talk to others.
No time was given for how long the wait for the oath would be. But the notice of congratulations we got said that we should allow a minimum of 6 months to elapse before enquiring about it.
From the experiences of others, we expect to be taking oath within 1 month.
