Chicago IL - N-400 Timeline

Hi Chitown08,

Took an info pass at Chicago. Receptionist has sent me to a counter. The lady at the counter talked about sending an email to chi400reschd. But the email returned undelivered. Went to 3rd floor where the citizenship section is. The lady at the 3rd counter has asked me to wait until month of interview and write a letter.

Confused what is needed and how to do it.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks

oh noo... sorry to hear that it becomes more complicated than I expect. I think we should wait for other more experienced IPFers such as boatbod, bobsmyth, vivalasvegas, sriIL, vorpal, vlorak and others to shed some light.
 
nandamuru,
Its very clear on the IL that if you would liketo chnage your Interview, send a letter with your explanation to Chicago DO address.

I think you need not wait till themonth of the interview. Send a clear explanation why you want the interview to be postponed and mention the date after which you can have your interview. You will get the changed date ASAP.

All the best.

nandamuru..Per USCIS letter, you have to include original. Better keep a photocopy for your records.

Or if you have time , Do one more trip to chicago DO in the month of interview and get it postponed to your suitable time.

BIG COngratulationssss for you Sankarnp,
...its party time !!!..:D:D:D you are a free man now ... at least from USCIS tight chain...

btw sankarp, could you let us know when did you actually receive your OL Oath Letter? Seems like you got it so fast since you rinterview is on Apr30, 08 and then within 2weeks May 15th you are already sworn (Oath ceremony).
I think chinorth is wondering about his/her OL since his/her Interview Date (ID) is close to yours.
TIA

hey guys,
passed my interview today. very smooth, very friendly agent. found out i was a political scientist and chatted with me afterwards about immigration reform and understaffing. asked 6 qs, wrote and read a sentence, that was pretty much it. waiting for the oath!
the only prob was the 1.5 hr wait. there were a lot of people taking their second exam in the chicago d.o. today.

I reside in Chicago IL & applied for myself & my wife. We both got the same dates as below. (so nice of USCIS)

Mailed: Nov 3 07
Check Cashed: Nov 8 07
Receipt recvd: Nov 27 07
FP notice revd: Jan 03 08
FP date: Jan 30 08
IV Notice Rcvd: Feb 27 08
IV Date: May 14 2008 - Anxiously Waiting
Oath : Same day may be?

Does anyone know the trend in Chicago office in 2008 for the Oath dates after the IV?
Also, since I got the IV scheduled does it mean our FBI name check has been cleared ??

Finished my Interview on the 14th & still waiting on the oath letter. It was a pleasent experience just like others stated here.

I arrived at 8am for a 8.25 slot after parking my car at the adjacent building (I think $17/4 hours). I was told the officer already has my file & will call from one of the 2 areas . There were about 100 people already & I thought I wont get in tilll noon. My wife also had the same time & she was stunningly called in at sharp 8.25 (I was called in at 9am). We had our 2 daughters with us & she carried the young one with her. She came back passed much before I was called in.

About the process, the officer was well prepared with all my information. She started with the oath & asked me the civics questions right way from the sheet that had a pre-set 10 questions. Since I aced through the first 6 (what a great accomplishment ! LOL !!) she stopped it there & asked to write a sentence & read a line. Then it was just a formality of re-verifying all the information on the application. Finally she gave me an approval letter & told should get my oath letter in 2 weeks. she was also kind enough to take my wife's name to make sure we get the same oath date.
So we were out of there by 10am and now wating for the next date. Since we have plans to travel in July I hope we'll have our passports just in time.

Again, Thanks to all of you who willing shared information & the forum owner who has given this priceless opportunity to share & relieve our concerns about this unpredictable yet memorable process.

Regards,
