Charlotte, NC - N-400 Timeline

Friends,

Is there any use with Infopass in charlotte?
I just made one appointment for next monday @ 8.45 am..
Thanx..

DOne with FP on Feb22 & waiting on interview..

Not really. I think an Infopass is Charlotte is a waste of time. I've gotten more information from customer service over the phone than the infopass that I've scheduled. At the last infopass I wanted to know why I had not been scheduled for Fingerprints. I was told that it was normal that I hadn't been scheduled due to the backlog and she didn't even check on the computer my case. Then the same day I called customer service. Talked to OF and he told me that the reason I hadn't received a fingerprint notice is because they are using my old fingerprints and that I should wait for my interview letter. In conclusion. Don't waste your time with infopass in Charlotte.
 
Ok..Thanx a lot..
I also thought same, but thought like post here, so, if anyone had good experience, let all of us know..
No way..In Summary, every thing is slow in CLT..:)
 
I have been reading soo very much today. I was trying to get all the info I can. I just sent in my N400 so lets see how this thing goes.
I am currently looking to see if there are any threads on Military Naturalization but couldnt find anything. I am so nervous about this whole thing but I will try my best to keep everyone up to date in my process.

Mailed N-400 to NSC : 03/01/2008:cool:
(Charlotte)
N-400 was delivered : 03/03/2008:cool:
 
marriage certificate and birth certificate

some of the documents listed in one of the threads are - marriage certificate and birth certificate.
Our marriage and birth certificates are from India. Are these accepted here in the US? If not, Is there anything we need to do?

Yes, if they are legal documents in India then they are recognized. You may need to get them translated if they don't have any English on them.
 
I can help you with Military Naturalization. The USCIS designed a website for military members and their families. www.uscis.gov/military and you can also find a phone number which you can call and speak to Immigration Officers in Nebraska Service Center. You sould have your interview in 90 days. (thats how it works for military naturalization). Are you active duty?

PM me if you have specific questions
 
Hi Bob
Any news for opening of Raleigh Durham DO

I drove by today and they were putting up the USCIS seal on the building. Looks like they are gearing up to open any day now. My guess is within the next 2 weeks. Let's hope they start transferring cases from Charlotte to RTP DO soon.
 
I am no longer Active Duty. Got out a few years ago. I have been having issues filing for awhile now. My husband is AD an I have been going on post requesting their assistance with filing under Section 329, but for years they said they could not help me and that I have to pay, even the IO said the same. But recently My cousin AD Soldier told me I could file under 329, so I did and now waiting to see what will happen.
 
synn r,

I have never been AD, but my husband is AD Soldier. I paid the full fee, but just like Gategal my file seems to have been expedited due to military. No need to worry, now you might have to pay the full fee, but the process should be fairly smooth provided you do not get stuck in a name check or have extraordinary circumstances attached to your case.

If I take S Miami blvd from TW alexander intersection, how far it is. Any directions available
 
The last time i spoked to the IO regarding my name check and the interview. He told me i should get the IL within 2 months, and i asked him where my interview will take place and he confirmed it will be in Charlotte office. I think the office will be ready for public services in May

The new DO will open to the public much sooner than May. It was previously announced that the DO would open sometime in March. Perhaps your application was still in the Charlotte pile and was therefore the interview is being scheduled in Charlotte. If applications are only being transfered this week or next to the new DO, that would explain why some of the pre-transfer applications are still in Charlotte. it remains to be seen what system USCIS uses to transfer some of the current caseload from Charlotte to RTP. 2 months from IL seems to be the standard response these days from USCIS.
 
Did you guys tell them you were Military Spouses. I mean I never mentioned my husband, or never saw anything on the N400 pertaining to what he does.
 
Have you ever been deployed to Iraq or Afghanistan during the war? If you have, you can file under special circumstances.

You can still call the military line and tell them your husband is AD and track your file.
 
I joined in 03/2001 and got out 03/2003. I was deployed to Kuwait in Operation Enduring Freedom in 2002. I never went to Afgan or Iraq though. But that number for Military is awesome... She said I qualified not to pay a fee. So I am good on that part. They actually answer your questions there. When I called the other numbers they were drones. They read back to me what I already read.... Thanks for that info. It will save me alot of sleepless nights.
 
I am glad it worked out for you. Hopefully your process will take only for a couple of months. Keep us posted.
 
Just talked to an IO

Hi All,

Using somebody's information on this board, I called USCIS at 1-800-375-5283 option 1-2-6-0. I got a customer service guy. I asked him if he can transfer to an IO so i can check if my name check is complete. He said he can't do that. He asked my receipt number, I gave him. But he was not able to locate my case using receipt number. Then he himself said, he will have to transfer me to an IO.

after few minutes of waiting, I talked to IO. She was able to locate my file using my A number. I asked her if name check is complete. She responded non-commital. Here are her words "From what I see in your file, all processing complete on your case and you are in queue to be scheduled for interview".

And then she asked if I have any more question. I said no. Call ended.

Does this mean, my name check is complete?

Thanks,
Newbie001.

From the sounds of things, I would say that your name check is complete. Since the USCIS does not schedule interviews until name checks are done, then the fact that you are in the queue for an interview is indicative that you have cleared this hurdle. There have been several posts on this forum from other members in the same position - cleared name check and in the queue for an interview, but IL not yet received. The standard response seems to be that you will receive an IL in "1-2 months", but this appears unreliable. It really depends on your PD, your DO and how quickly they are processing applications.

Just getting through name check is a big thing, so congratulations are still in order. At least now you know you are in the queue!
