jp2007 did your parents apply in boston DO but got IL at manchester? Congragulations to your parents.
Boston MA - N-400 TimeLine
- Thread starter netuser00
- Start date
Yes, 2/25 is the interview date, and the IP did initiate on the back of the letter. Are you sure that they couldn't do it?
By the way, newuscitizen, have you done your interview yet? are you going to share your experiences?
Congratulations to your parents!

Good for you!
When did you get your IL? when is your PD?
Could you please post your Timeline?
I hope more people who are being helped by this forum (especially the silent observers) make the tiny effort needed to post their timelines. It's a simple way to give back to the community.
I'm trying to get an estimate of the P.D VSC and/or Boston D.O is at for sending out ILs. Is it somewhere in June 2007?
Your parents were so lucky, I also sent application to Vermont, FP done in Boston. Is Manchester the only office to do the Interview and oath together? guess I will be assigned with another oath date after being interviewed at Boston.

I think your IL was scheduled prior to your infopass. IO's are not authorized by themselves to schedule interviews. Scheduling happens at vermont. Congrats for your IL.
My PD is april 25 2007. I posted this several times before

Dear newuscitizen, you are right before me. Would you please share your interview experience after you done, and how will you prepare for the interview? (will save me lots of headache in digging out info
)Thanks a lot!
Always better to add that info to your signature line so it travels with you when you post
The wait will probably get longer
To those on the board looking for IL time, I'd wouldn't keep your hopes too high.
INS is posting warnings of a huge backlog in processing applications. They say they have twice as many applications in 2007 as in 2006, and my personal guess is that everyone was trying to beat the fee increases last summer.
From my research:
- INS is prioritizing I485's and the EAD, since there is a legislated maximum turnaround timeframe (3 months I think). Second priority is N-400s, then everything else is after.
- Don't even bother with the times on the INS web site, this board is proving much longer delays. It looks like Boston late-April priority dates are receiving interviews in early February. I haven't seen any May PDs yet.
- INS warned that the delay will get much longer, especially the June priority dates, where they said to expect up to 16 months.

My Interview experience
I had my interview on Jan 15th and so did my wife. Everything went fine and our oath date is January 24th.
Note that the interviews for you and your spouse are done separately.
A clerk took my English test. He asked 10-questions from the 96-questions lists and I answered each correctly. Then he asked me to read one sentence and write one senctence. 15 minutes later I met the interviewing officer. She went through my application and my entire file. She asked me the same questions that were on the application and I kept giving yes and no responses. She then asked me to sign the application with my full name including middle name. I would recommend that you just write your full name, if you are not used to signing with your middle name.
That was it. Later she gave me my purple color "oath" letter.
Thank you every one on this forum.

Still waiting for IL.....tried calling customer service today ..totally unhelpful as usual.
"Sleek": end-May PD huh? Boston DO seems really slow if they haven't even gotten to end May yet.
