Charlotte, NC - N-400 Timeline

time frame between each steps

Hi all

I just wanted to know if anyone here had any idea abt the approximate timeline to get citizenship like

NOA to FP = ?
FP notice to FP appt = ?
FP appt to interview date =?
interview date to Oath =?

( did I miss any steps in between )

This need not be exact , just a rough estimate like Bob said in this forum that from the NOA to get the FP letter, it takes approximate a month.

Please any help / input is appreciated .

It really depends on your DO, since every DO has different processing times. For Charlotte, if you submitted your application January 2008, my bet would be on the following estimates:
NOA to FP = 30-40 days
FP notice to FP appt =7-14 days
FP appt to interview date =5-8 months
interview date to Oath =2-3 months


If you happen to live in the Triangle area, your case may end up being handled by new Raleigh DO set to open in March. Hopefullt this will speed up processing times for NC applicants.

I filed my N400 in Jan, 2006. I just checked from USCIS website that my LUD is April 2006. I did have FP done on March 2006.

Do I need 2nd FP? I didn't receive notice for that.

Anyone here has experience with WOM to share? Thanks.
 
no you dont need a new FP appointment yet. Mine were taken in February 2006 and they are good until May 2008. Yours should be good until July 2008.

Have you called USCIS and asked them about the status of your case? Have they confirmed you're stuck in name check?
 
Gatedgal, thanks for the info.

Bobsmyth, I called USCIS about a one year ago and they didn't know anything about my case and referred me to their Charlotte office. I got a letter from Charlotte office saying they were still waiting for NC. I also scheduled an appointment after that through the so-called infopass(?). By that time, it had been more than 18 months since I filed. I drove 3 hours there and waited for another hour before I met an officer (they won't let you in until half an hour till your appointment and there was another line inside) and the guy spent 3 minutes with me, telling me basically there was nothing I or they could do but wait and wait.

Try contacting the USCIS ombudsman and ask them to check on the status of your case and namecheck.
 
Hi,

What number do you call to get to speak to an immigration officer. I see gatedgal called and talked to an immigration officer about case status. When I called the general customer service I only got automated replies could not speak to anybody. Thanks for the help in advance.
 
Any FP noteices lately?

Anybody who filed in Sep/Oct/Nov 2007 to TSC got their FP notices?
I am just wondering how things are moving in TSC.

Thanks,

Friends,

I am going for my FP this friday in Charlotte.
What is approximate time line now from FP to Interview?
Any change or same like waiting for more & more months?
and just now I checked website,Still it is showing MARCH2007 as JAN15th
update. Anybody know what is exact processing times now for Charlotte?


Thanx..
 
The system gets updated around the middle of the month. It should move to April-hopefully-today or sometime this week-again hopefully. I applied last April and no word on the interview date for me yet.
With USCIS slowing down, I am not sure the time period from the FP to interview now. Using my case as an example, as I said, my PD was April 05, 2007. My FP was done within a month around the middle of May and not interview scheduled yet.
 
Got my FP letter today 02/19

Hi all

We got our FP letter today by mail ( 02/19 ) and we have an appointment next thursday ( 02/28). Its in Charlotte ASC

I just wanted to know if it is ok to take kids for the FP appointment as my husband and I have got the same day and time appointment and I have 2 small kids.

Please let me know or I will have to make some arrangements for them.

Thanks

Application Mailed - 12/19/2007

I-797C Recieved - 01/12/2008
FP Notice - 02/19/2008

Last May, I took my daughter with me who was 10 at the time. They did not ask anything about her. I just showed my papers and walked in with her. There are a lot of seats available. People doing the FP were very nice and friendly to me. I saw other people with children. It should not be a problem. Maybe your wife and you can take turns to keep them while each of you is being fringerprinted. Good luck!
 
Friends,

Just now I get back from FP office in charlotte.
It went smooth, whole process is just for less than a hour.

My case is very similar. I have not received my fingerprint notice, so I called USCIS. I was able to talk to an Immigration Officer and he told me that I didn't need to get a new fingerprint card because they have the fingerprints I took last year. I don't think we need to take new fingerprint after the 15 month period. I found the following paragraph at this link.

http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=60d631a851f23f1ce68c7f54f30f5144


"If the response to a previous check of the FBI Identification Division or Records Branch is less than 15 months old at the time adjudication of any application or petition is made, or at the time of final hearing on a naturalization petition, an up-to-date check shall not be made unless there is reason to believe that additional pertinent information is available"
