So I guess nothing is going on in Charlotte... Why am I surprised....
washburn1 I can tell you but I don't think your customer service reps are as good as mine.. Remember I call the military line.
I called and I asked them where is my application at progress wise. She told me that my name check has cleared and all that I am waiting for is to be scheduled for an interview.. That easy... Mind you when I called the reg CS line they damn near hung up the phone on me.... I woulda felt better if she did instead of how she spoke to me....
asylee03 at this point not even USCIS knows..... There is no clear way to give a guesstimation... I can only assume on my part....I could possibly have a lengthy wait ahead of me..... Think Positive....
Hello all.. I have just discovered this fantastic thread.
I live in winston salem nc and want to know when I should send in my application for citizenship. I got my GC in Dec 2003. Can I apply 6 months before the 5 year wait period?
Is my application going to be sent to Charlotte of Raleigh. I saw some folks with Applications in TSC.. Why the difference.
Regards!!!
You can apply 90 days before December 2008 minus a few days to ensure USCIS doesn't reject application for early filing. You would send your application to the Texas service center per the N-400 instructions. Applications are initially sent to the service center and then transfered to local district office. In your case, the service center is Texas and the local DO is Charlotte. Make sure to read both the N-400 instructions and M-476 guide to naturalization before sending in your application.
Thanks Bobsmyth...
I am going to start reading through the guides and application instructions.
As for the service center. I hate to have anything to do woth Texas Service center. I got my GC through that center and it was hell. So please help me understand - are all applications from NC state sent to TSC before they come back to charlotte? or is it only people that live in certain areas of NC state that get sent to TSC.?
How about the Raleigh and Durham DO's? What applications get sent there?
haa man people like pretend to be in Military and thats why Military people are complaining that they stay on hold for extended time ....what ever you do......its not going to happen till your back gound check is complete...other wise by USCIS will not give your interview....I stronly suggest buy some Naswar and enjoy the ride ....:=)
I would wait to see what the May 2008 processing update will say first. If they move backward or at turtle paces, then this will become necessary. I support yo guys for this idea.
fbanna79, Your signature is showing interview as April 19 instead of June 19...has USCIS sent you time machine as well?
