August 2009 N-400 filers

Got Email today (10/08/09). that "Case Transferred to Local Office for Standard Interview" for self and spouse.
 
I've never heard of a charge for telling this information. Call again tomorrow and tell them you are looking for the status of your fingerprints for immigration process.
 
ya, out of curiosity i tried again and the agent apologized for what happened before
normally they tell you two options
1) Are you through USCIS or through fax cover sheet with 18$
unfortunately the other rep didn't provide the first option and everything is good and they processed my application and send for name check
thanks mimi
 
Online Status Changed yesterday and today received Yellow Letter and Interview Letter.

Yellow Letter says: bring DL and

You indicated in your application that you were arrested. For these arrests and any other incidents in which you have been involved, bring originals or certified copies of all arrest records and court dispositions showing how each incident was resolved


I was never arrested but had one normal speeding violation which I mentioned in my N400.

Is this normal?
What should I take with me for this ARREST?

Thanks,

You said you were not arrested. So my response is below:

This is normal because you indicated being cited, so regardless of the what happened this is a standard letter the USCIS sends to everyone who were cited. Is the normal speeding violation over $500? If not, then go to the court and ask them to give you a receipt that shows you paid the fine or some sort of letter saying that you are cleared. If it is over $500, then ...... I dont know. Some else would need to help you out here.

Thanks for the response.
My fine was less than $500, it was $160 and I got 2 points.
 
Under $500.00 or Over, Bring the receipt showing this fine was paid, an official stamp on a copy from the clerk of courts is ideal. This letter is standard so don't worry.

Oh yeah Ive got the same Priority Date AUG 19.
You are still in time frame, wait couple more years I mean months and try to schedule a INFOPASS, your time line looks fine. Everything depends on background checks and your DO. How fast they can handle application depends on how many people working in that DO. Try to stick with your DO threads on this forum if any. It will give you a approximate time frame for your DO.

That's the time line one of the guy from same DO as yours
It's taking about 1-2 months from FP date for your DO, This guy have submit hes FP at AUG 25 and still waiting on IL.
Chicago DO handling high volume of application with limited personal which is affecting the time frame. There are not just N-400 applications but many others like I-485 etc.
Just take a deep breath drink some Pepsi and watch TV.
