Chicago IL - N-400 Timeline

I just typed in a few NBC#s ahead like for example, mine ended in 45..and I went like 48, 49, etc. Not that its scientific but it might be a guess.

All cases (different DO's) initially go to NBC. So how do we determine if the numbers close to ours belong to the same DO jurisdiction? I am thinking that the NBC would schedule these interviews as per the local DO work load.

Great point! I was using a silly method just for my sanity. Are your dates close to mine? Thanks!

I am expecting online status change anytime now (based on timelines posted by the seniors before me). Waiting for my cell phone to make that text message beep for an update from USCIS. Anyway, here is my timeline.

Thanks! Your timeline is approximately a month prior to mine. So that means, that I should not be expecting a change in my online status anytime before yours. I might get a better estimate once your status changes. Good luck!

Well finally there is movement in my case. I have an interview date!

Received yellow check list today without any online status change for me. Can someone suggest if I can expect IL schedule now or it could still take time?

Also noticed a strange thing when I logged into my account at www.uscis.gov. I have my I-140, I-485 & N-400 case numbers in the portfolio. The day (09/28/09) before they mailed the yellow check list for the N-400 interview, there was an update on I-485 on 09/27/09. I got curious and clicked the I-485 case but it is the same old message of 2004 when my physical green card was mailed. Does this all mean somebody is working on my case and ready to send IL for N-400?


Thanks.

I am guessing that they must have requested your I485 package to be transferred from the document storage facility to the DO. Just a guess, the update could be for anything though.

I filed on 07/28/2009 and FP done on 08/25/2009. I received yellow check list yesterday but no IL. So, I called the agency few minutes back. Spoke to 1st level rep and she actually read the whole message that we see online during status check. It's like she was going through some English proficieny test. So I asked her when can I expect interview letter and she said no idea and she asked if I want to talk to an officer. I said yes and a 2nd officer comes on the line within 30 seconds. I told her that I received the yellow letter but no IL and I am concerned if I might have missed it in the mail or when can I expect one. She checks the case and tells me that I am not scheduled yet for interview. That's it. No further information. Many people before me received IL within 2 to 5 weeks after FP and I am past 5 weeks now. So, patiently waiting to see some movement at this stage.
 
sure.
PD: 6/26
FP: 7/21
never received IL or check list.
called and infopassed. Was told the interview is scheduled at 10/26. was told I should be ok to come without an IL.
So I called NBC again last week, they agreed to resend the communications. So I am still waitting.
 
Ok, I got the letter today. It says"our records indicate that we recently sent you an appointment letter. Your case in currently in suspense until interview date.", which is 10/26.

question, what does suspense mean? does that mean any problems?

It means that your case is undecided until you have an interview. No need to worry.

Considering that there is an average 6 weeks gap between IL and ID for Chicago DO, I am guessing that they mailed your IL sometime around Sep 1st, which you didn't receive in the mail. Keep this letter safely for the interview date. I am assuming that the Infopass officer told you the time of the interview as well.

Also, how long is someone supposed to wait after FP date before they can use the Infopass system to check the status of IL? Any suggestion?
