So far they are going very fast. I suspect it could be related to the coming elections to Congress in November 2006, I've heard that usually they get an order to speed up N400 cases before the elections.
>>This is on 536 S Clark, Chicago downtown.
Also I guess an interview should be on Jackson in down-town Chicago that is where US CIS office is where I've stamped my passport 5 years ago after I got a green card. Not sure where you got it from or they have moved ?

Good luck to all of you.

Alex.
 
UPDATE: just got from the mail 2 envelopes from CIS, receipt and FP letter of appointment, notice date of receipt is 5/26 and FP appointmt is 5/30 but for some reason they were mailed out 5/31.

My FP is going to be in the city 4853 N. Broadway and Im from the burbs, near NW, I know there is a SC closer to me (Cumberland and Lawrence) but I guess I have to go in the city :(

It looks like I will be getting my interview notification letter after one month of fp appointment and schedule for interview is 2 months after that.

Most likely-

7/7 interview letter
9/7 interview.


But I have been seeing Chicago speeding up pretty fast. I would not be suprised if I can get my interview by Aug 15th.
 
Below is my timeline.

On both the notices (received and FP), My zip code is mis-typed the last digit, Like they put 60601 instead of 60603, How do I change this ? Do I have to send AR11 ?

N-400, Chicago/NSC

FP & FBI

More info please,

If you call the FBI (#304 625 2000) to check the status of your background & name Check, would it be a live person that replies?
What information they would need from you to tell you the status?

One more question, would you be given the OATH Date letter directly after the interview in the same center.

thanks

Dear Shivaram,

How was your interview on 6/15/06, please if you could give us details
And I thought that the letter for the Oath date will be given directly after the interview, which was the case of a few who filed in Dallas Tx.
What does the interview date letter show?? does it say background & name check complete or pending???

thanks

You just had your finger prints done on 6/8/06, interview on 6/26/06 that is fast!!!!
Where did you have your interview done??
any tips??

Thanks
 
you are confusing bullsfan with plangtikok, even though he has fp done in 20 days.

I just think it takes a 1 month to get interview letter.

1.5 month for the appointment after that.

I expect my letter to be in by july 7. Intervie appointment by Sept 1st.

Hopefully oath by Sept end.
 
sorry for the confusion, I meant to say Im hoping to get my Interview appointment letter next week which is about a month passed my fingerprint appointment.
 
Oath Ceremony Experiences in Chicago

I have a few questions regarding Oath Ceremony in Chicago:

1) Where do you find future oath dates for Chicago? Please provide a link.
2) Is the venue at Dirksen Federal Building on Dearborn St.?
3) Can we apply for passports in the venue or do we have go elsewhere?
4) Anyone who attended a recent oath ceremony please describe their experience.
 
Interview NOA

Is there a way we can know if the NOA for the interview date has been mailed out???
My problem is, we live in multi appartments complex & the usps postman always manages to mess up with the mail, we get neigbhours mail or they get ours, and some neighbours we do not even know do not return the mail to us...
Just scared that NOA can be lost.

Thanks

One way of knowing if the NOA for interview has been mailed out to you is if your online case status disappears (see FAQ sticky for details). This however in many cases has not been dependable since the online status is as finicky as the interviewing officer :rolleyes: Based on your timeline, you should expect to receive your interview NOA around 5 weeks (mid July) from your FP date. Good Luck!
