FP notice lost in transit

Hello all,

Our N-400 application was received by USCIS on 08/06/09 and my wife received her FP notice on 08/17/09 but I did not receive it yet.

The FP appointment for my wife is on 08/28/09.

Online status of both our cases showes " RFE" letter sent on 08/12/09, that is the date of FP notice for my Wife.

I am thinking they might have mailed FP notice to me too on 08/12/09 (RFE date) but till date I have not received the same.

I called USCIS and the operator said RFE is not same as FP and I need to wait atleast 15 days from the date of notice before they look into my file.

But 15 days means, it will be 27th of August and if they mailed my FP , the FP date would have been on 28th August (Basing on mywife's FP notice).

What should I do now? What happens if I miss my FP date due to non receipt /lost in transit the FP notice.

I will call USCIS on 08/27/09 (expiry of 15 day period) but will it not be too late to get FP letter for 28th original date?

If any one has such experience, please guid eme.

I was able to set up an email alert when a check is presented to my bank for cashing. It's an online service my bank provides.

it's funny but I had received the NOA 3 days before my account actually showed a debit of $675 :)
 
Here are my details - I am based in the Boston area:

Has anyone with Notice date after August 14 gotten his/her FP letter?

Tracking the pattern, it looks like people who filed at the beginning of August got their FP letter 7/10 business dates after the notice date, hopefully mid-august filers will get our FP letter at the end of this week, beginning next week.
