Boston MA - N-400 TimeLine

Bangalore Baba said:
Not sure I understand the funda here... Boston timeline reads May 14th 2007. I still see people with Mar'07 waiting for interviews. Do any of you know what they mean when they say May 14th 2007? Does it mean they are trying to finish sending interviews for everyone up to May 14th 2007?

Thanks for my earlier response, it was not what I wanted but then it is what it is.

The May 14, 2007 processing timeframe is a goal that the DO has in completing processing on the majority of the applications. This does not mean that the majority have been processed by May 14, it simply mean that they have set May 14 2007 as goal. Posted USCIS processing times are not an accurate measure to the customer in determining how long their application will take to adjudicate since they are based on goals rather than actual real time data.
 
My observation:

They intend to send ILs to applicants whose PD is may 14 by jan 20, thats when USCIS has to release their new dates.

Are you sure about this?

The way I read it was that as of Dec 14th all those with PDs on May 14th or before had at least been sent their interview, if not oath, letters (of course barring all those who're still stuck in Namecheck).

This interpretation would be consistent with their 7month processing timeframe estimates, and the meaning of other dates they publish (eg receipting dates)

I'm interested in knowing why you think May 14th is a target, rather than something they've already achieved.

I guess the way to decide the issue is to ask what proportion of people with Boston D.O who have P.Ds before May 14th, (and who know they've passed namecheck) did and did not get their ILs?

If this thread was more active - we'd have an estimate of that.
 
Mar'07 still wait for IL, really?

Dear Bangalore Baba, I went back the post for a couple of month, didn't see many Mar'07 and Apr'07 here, some already got the IL by Dec. ( I guess we should not count those with extra scenarios because they took more steps), my friends who filed on Mar’07, one took oath on Sept’07, another took oath on Oct’07, I thought that was the regular timeline.

there are some exceptions though

I do know a coworker who is still waiting after 13 months of filing, he didn't follow up, after we told him, he made a couple of phone calls, didn't get much info either. still waiting by yesterday. I suspected that they might mishandled his materials.
 
don't see many Mar'07, Apr'07, May'07 applicants here

I can see that the active posts from people who applied much later, have the majority of Mar'07, Apr'07, May'07 applicants finished the courses like my lucky friends months ago?
 
Are you sure about this? by the way, what is NOA?

Based on all your responses, it is very difficult to figure out what is the norm and what is exception to the rules. I am not sure if we even have a norm any more when it comes to N400 processing :-(

I thought only a few fall into the exceptional timeline, because most of my friends I know who applied from '06 had been saying that this process only takes about half an year, when another friend was talking about her husband was not lucky, it took him about 10 months, So, it's not the case anymore?:mad:
 
boston has slowed this past year. It used to take 7 months for entire process and thus far for people who applied in april last year it took 10 months to interview.

I dont know why. My earlier comment about processing date is my observation of pattern from postings for boston.

USCIS is not really honest about thier processing time frames on web site.
 
Also, have anyone else received their IL recently? I have not seen any more updates on it recently. Please keep us all posted with your good news.
 
infopass experience

just want to share the infopass experience with everyone, the office checked A number, didn't see anything, then scanned the barcode, asked " you didn't get the letter?" then wrote the time date and room number on the back of the receipt letter, say "if you don't get letter, just bring this in, on 2/25", he also initialed the letter.

Has anybody had the similar experience? (although I don't think the officer would make up a date for me)

Is 2/25 your interview date? And did officer initiate IL for you. Thats surprising since IO's cant do that unless things changed recently
 
Wanted to let you all know that my parents applied for Citizenship in June end.
Finger printed end july.
Got interview letter mid December.
They were interviewed yesterday in MACHESTER NH and their oath was done yesterday itself in the afternoon.
