August 2009 N-400 filers

Got yellow letter for the self on 10/05/09. Says applicant should bring driver's license at time of interview with the yellow letter. USCIS site still says RFE sent on Aug 11th for self and spouse.
 
I got my IL today for Oct. 28 at 2:00 PM
It usually takes between 2 to 3 week after FP.

I'm also a bit worried about this process going too fast.
My Interview is almost a month earlier than my 5 years elegible date.
I guess I will not receive my oath letter until I have completed my time!

I'm so exited!
:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

Can you please share with us when was the first time your N-400 online status changed to "case sent for standard interview..." ? Thanks.

Processing center is sending the "standard interview" emails on time but looks like local DO is taking forever to issue the actual interview letters. Waiting game just kills you man!!! Puts all the plans on hold.

I think interview letters come from NBC, not DO as some people reported receiving check list (comes from NBC) and interview letter in the same envelope. I might be wrong.

Status updated

Early morning today, I received a case status update that the file has been transferred to the local office for interview. I guess changing the DO did slow down my processing for a couple of weeks. Not a big deal though...

Sure.. will share it .. I havent received IL or yellow letter..but uscis seem to be religiously updating the case.. LUD changes everyday even on Sunday :confused:

Phx, are you tracking the LUD against yr application - is it still reflecting daily movement? (Mine is - if you see my timeline). I also added my I-485, and I-140 case # to my "portfolio"; the former has stayed unaffected since the PR card was ordered (early '05), but the latter shows a date >18 months ago (which does not make sense)...

I'm hoping that we'll get our ILs by the end of the week. (I'm predicting that our interview dates would be before the week of Thanksgiving)

LUD for our n400 has been changing daily and stopped today.. Last update was 10/6. I am surprised that there are only two of us from phx in this forum currently on n400..

Anyways.. yes I140 and I 131 got updated on Feb 2008 and I129 that I applied back in 2003(approved) also got touched on Mar 2008.. My old I 131( I had two) got touched on April 2008..I485 is untouched since GC..

BTW, do you know why Phoenix doesnt do sameday oath?
 
Update: Case sent for Standard Review

The time from my walk-in FP until this status update seemed to take forever! I hope to get my interview letter soon! I also don't enjoy getting a text at 1:00am; might just switch it to email notification only. Though I definately went back to sleep smiling!

Phx: If you didn't receive your IL today, look for it, tomorrow. I received mine, this evening - for an interview date of Nov. 12th. (Incidentally, it is the 5th anniversary of my Adj. of Status date). I was also sent N-659 - an elaborate list of items to bring along, with me.

Finally got my Interview Letter after all the running around.

My online status had changed to SENT TO DO FOR INTERVIEW on Sep. 05, 2009. Usually you get the Interview Letter within a week max after this happens. I waited for 2 weeks and called USCIS. Had to escalate to the 2nd level as no useful info with the 1st; they just repeat whatever you see online. The officer wouldn’t reveal the date except that the letter was mailed on Sep. 3rd and the interview was somewhere in October. He just confirmed that it wasn’t clashing with my travel dates.

Waited for another week and called again this time the officer let me know the date (Oct. 20, 2009) and assured I would get the letter.

Again waited for another week and called; this time the officer said he would put in a request for a DUPLICATE LETTER to be mailed. And I should get it within the next 5 business days. And within 2 days I get a letter (no, not the duplicate interview letter ;) ) from USCIS instructing I make an INFOPASS appointment to resolve this. So, I make an INFOPASS appointment for the next available date, that was a week away (Houston is extremely busy?).

Did you just call the main USCIS number? What options did you select to talk to a representative?
