Boston N-14 Hand Delivery Questions

I attended the interview on 1/22/09 and passed it. However the officer asked for a court document as proof of a forgiven speeding ticket and issued me an N-14. He asked me to bring the document back in person because mailing it would delay the processing of the case.

Long story short, I got the document back to them in 2 days. This time, I had to meet another fellow in a separate room. He made a cursory search for my file and __could not find it!__. He then just took my documents and said they would send a response. No receipt or written acknowledgement for receiving the N-14 response was issued.

My questions to the folks in the forum is this: Do you think I will ever hear back? The officer was very laid back and apathetic in his search for the rest of my file. And didn't say much one way or another. He did not make any attempt to contact the original adjudicator. What can I do about my situation? My wife already was given an Oath Notice on the date of the interview, but I appear to be in limbo. How long to wait before I do an InfoPass?

Thanks
 
The cavalier behavior of the new officer might be because he thinks it was not necessary to issue an N-14. During my interview, the IO seemed annoyed that I had mentioned a speeding ticket on the application.

Do you remember to name of the officer you handed the court document to? Collect as many details of the interaction like the infopass date, time, who you spoke to etc.

Then you can write a letter to your original officer with the details, if you don't hear back from them.
 
I did get my oath notice, so all is well that ends well. As a result of this little diversion, I was out 1/2 day of vacation time, and some 30 dollars in parking.

A word to those who are being interviewed in Boston: If you have a speeding ticket, and went to court to fight it (even clerk magistrate), you will need a letter from the court with the official signature, and court stamp. You will need to bring this to the interview.

You may want to do your research on whether or not to mention such forgiven tickets, but if you do mention it, then bring the aforementioned document. I put it in the application (hence the aggravation) but then again, better to be safe than sorry.

Interestingly, no one asked me for proof of my paid speeding tickets. Go figure.
