Guys!!

I was out of the country for couple of months. Looks like NSC/chicago has made some progress. I was intentionally not keeping track of what is happening with USCIS to lay low and play it down.

I just called USCIS today and they told me that I am in the line to get my Interview scheduled and sud receive it soon. keeping my fingers crossed.

more soon.

seems like other DOs such as Denver, Atlanta and Milwaukee are moving (proven by their Jan-Feb 2008 filers have already received Interview letters)
... but Chicago DO is NOT moving anywhere... or is it soooo slooooowwwww.....
No interview letters for Chicago DO so far...

I believe the one from atlanta got interview letter is because they are miltary personnel; I think we are still on schedule......

nandamuru,

IMHO, it is basically an appointment made (initiated by applicants) so that applicant can meet USCIS IO at local DO.
Applicants can have variety of reason: USCIS correspondence order, court order or most of the time, asking for updates due to longggg waiting times with no replies back from USCIS...
In some situations, applicants can also request rescheduling appointment via Infopass too if applicants cannot make it to the original appointments (oath or interview).

hope it helps a bit...

Keep up the good work, Chitown08!!!

I called USCIS today, IO told me the interview letter is sent out today, and I should been receiving in 7-10days. However, IO would not disclose the interview date over the phone. I am thinking the interview date would be around the mid-June.

...pleasetellmewhy... that's an awesome news!!!
I am surprised the OI or the CSR did not drove you away by promising "wait for another 1-2mos" or saying "you cannot ask for your status update since your case hasnot been 6months old yet".... :eek: (I saw these kind of USCIS responses from other threads comments)...
hope that USCIS IO keep the promise of sending you the IL within the next 7-10days....

Chronogically for Chicago DO this year 2008 workload, I am waiting for you and tatar80 to get IL and ID....
While for last July2007 backlog, hoping that Chicago DO clear out name checks and send IL + ID soon to: inchi, danny_o, boyfrombombay and smee

let's wait for some more updates from Chicago filers.....

Thanks for a quick response.

This is my second time I'm applying for naturalization. My first application has been denied because I was short with my continious residence. I made mistake and I filled out application too early. I got decision from USCIS in January 2008 and couple days after I applied again.
Like I said before I received NOA week later and............nothing.

I'm just wondering if maybe somebody had similar situation and can share with me some opinions. Do I have to be fingerprinted again, even my fingerprints are still valid and cleared by FBI on July 2007? If yes, there is something wrong, because I have not received FP notice yet. I called to USCIS and they could not tell me anything, because my case number does not appear online. I will call tomorrow to USCIS and try to talk with IO instead of representative. Maybe he or she will tell me more.
If one of you had similar situation please let me know.

Thank you very much

Hi tatar80,
Could you please share more detail (if you don't mind) regarding why you were denied at the first time?
example:
-you don't submit supports/ proof that you were maintaining residence while you were absent (filing IRS tax, no family left behind in USA, no paystubs etc...)
- at what stage you were denied (after FP session or before receiving Interview Letter or after Interview session or when receiving Oath Letter/ Decision N445, etc...) ?
It might help other people who have similar case with you if you don't mind sharing your experience. More details will help others to identify similar occurence or stumbles. Thank you in Advanced for your willingness to share...

Hopefully this second time around will be a breeze for you.. :)

tatar80 did make it clear why he/she was denied the first time: he/she did not meet continuous residency requirement.

My applicaton has been denied, because I submitted N400 to early. They scheduled my fingerprints and interview. The interview was very short. I passed English test, and the IO asked me some questions from application. He said, he can't make a decission right now, because his boss must take a look at my case. I did not have a chance to defend myself. "We have a lot of applicants right now and I have no time to take a look at this. We will send you decision in next 2 weeks" - he said. Period. After 2 weeks I received a decision that my application has been denied, because of continoius residence requirements.
I submitted second application couple days later (January 16, 2008) and I have not received my fingerprint appointment. About a week ago I called USCIS, and I talked to IO. (It was a big problem to transfer me by Representative to IO). IO told me, that my previous fingerprints are valid for 15 months and I won't get second appointment. Also he said, I have to wait right now for letter with interview date.
