Denver CO - N-400 Timeline

Venkatesh - Thanks. I tried saving the form in the basic way you have suggested even before I posted this. For some reason, I am still not able to save it. Probably will end up filling the form by hand.

You have answered most of my questions. Thanks,
 
Question Reg. Fingerprint Notice

Hello,

Applications for both myself and my wife were submitted together (12/11/06). Both of us received the initial notice of receipt the same day (12/26/06). However, my wife received her FP notice today (12/30/06) and I am yet to receive my notice.

Is it common for people applying together NOT to receive notices at the same time? Any reasons - example, mail delay?

Applied to the Nebraska Service Center.

Interestingly, the FP appointment date is 1/05/07 - however, it is stated in the letter that "If you are unable to appear at this time, you may go on any following Wednesday at the same time noted below, as long as you appear before 3/30/07."

Appreciate any help from the readers.

Thanks,

KG
 
new citizenship exam

Dear Folks

The new pilot citizenship exam will start on a trial basis from Jan 1 2007. Denver DO is one of the test centers. Could anybody who had their interview after Jan 1 2007 please post their experience on this. My wife and myself have our interview on Jan 26th.

thanks

Karthikeyan, Check my post a while ago..I did go with my wife and took FP
eventhough I did not get the notice and it worked fine.
Goodl luck.

My old post:
Rocky_400
Today I accompanied my wife for her FP though I did not receive mine.While her FP was done, I was talking to guy in front desk explaining my situation and he took my 400-receipt and ID and went inside to talk to officer. He came
back saying I can do my FP today itself. I asked what happens if I get one from USCIS later. He asked me to ignore that as it is taken care of.
Have anybody experienced this before. Is doing FP provactively ok?
Please share your thoughts.
Thanks.

Interview Experience - Denver

Dear Folks

My wife and myself had our interview on Jan 26th 2006. My interview was at 9.10AM and my wife was at 9.30AM.

We arrived at the USCIS office located on Paris Street in Denver around 8.45AM. Parking was a bit of a hassle since there has been a lot of snow in Denver the streets have been covered in snow and so there are not may places to park on the street. We parked in the building opposite to the USCIS office.

We gave our interview letter to the guard and went through a metal detector. The guard took our interview and told us to take a seat and said we will be called. My name was called around 9.20AM.


Interview
The officer greeted me and took me to her office and asked me to raise my right hand and take a oath. She asked for my drivers license and my green card. She made copies of both then she asked to sit down. Then she told that she will start the civics part of the interview and that I will be asked 10 questions and I need to answer 6 correctly. I answered the first six correctly and then she stopped. The questions were

1) What do the stars represent on the flag
2) How many states are there in the USA
3) What month do we elect the president of USA
4) Who is the chief executive of our country
5) Name the Vice President of USA
6) Name the ship the pilgrims arrived

Next she started to go through my application form and asked me questions like tell me your current address, your phone number etc. Once this was done she made me sign the application and the two photos I had sent with my application. She congragulated me that I had passed the interview and she will recomend me for citizenship

At this point she said that she recognises from the records that my wife also has an interview the same day and is being interviewed by a different officer but will make sure that we both are called for Oath on the same day.

Finally she gave me the N-652 form. It took about 10 minutes for the whole process. I asked her if there was anything pending like namecheck etc on my application and she said "no everything is cleared". Then I asked her when will my oath cermony be and she said within the next 90 days at a downtown denver location. I thanked her and she escorted me to the waiting area.

My wife was called in around 10.30AM even though here interview was at 9.30AM. Her experience exactly as mine except for the civic questions.

Overall it went very smoothly and now waiting for the oath letter

Wanted to add my info to the tracker

Pkt sent - Jan 24
Notice date - Jan 28
FP notice received Feb 5
FP date - Feb 20

Waiting for IL, ID. Seems like most of the folks have got their IL w/in 10-14 days. I have still not received it. Guess will have to check it in the next few days.

Is it unreasonable to expect IL by this time after the FP?

Thanks.

Interview letter rcvd: 04th May 2007

I guess, the USCIS is working overtime to get lot of applicants naturalized/take oath on/by July 4th.. :)

I have couple of question though,

1. does that mean both finger print and FBI check are complete?
2. In the interview letter it says "Request for Applicant to Appear for Naturalization Initial Interview", does the "Initial Interview" means, there could be others? or this standard verbiage?

TIA

Yes, you should be fine. All checks are complete (FP and name - background). Could you tell me when was your interview letter mailed? I hope to get mine soon.

What happens if you check your status online? Has it changed at all?
Click to expand...

as of this AM, online status looks like this..
"Current Status: Case received and pending."

The letter was dated 02 May 2007..

as to the background checks etc, some of the other posts/applicants had their checks outstanding even after
the Interviews..so am still a bit nervous if the stuff could
be delayed or checks pending..
