Me replying to myself :).

Went to BCIS local office in Detroit, and the latest from there is that they are 4 months behind schedule meaning they are currently calling July 2002 applicants for interview.
 
What does that mean?

Didn't you apply in Nov 2002? That's more than 4 months istn't it? Did you ask them about it?
Just curious....:)
 
Thanks for clarifying on my behalf phillydude. What I meant to say was that the BCIS is 4 months behind the processing time they originally sent out in the first correspondence letter. Originally my processing time was 370 - 385 and now its 370 - 385 + 4 months.
 
Here is my timeline:

Priority date: April 2002
Fingerprint: Sept 2002
Interview: July 2003
Oath: Waiting
 
Woohoo. Guess what was waiting for me in my mail box ? Yes, My interview appointment letter. Took more than a year for the letter since I filed, but finally its here. The appointment is set for Jan 20th. Guys, Any input on what other documents I should take for the interview (apart from Letter, Greencard, SSR, Passport) ?

Thanks

Congrats . Why is the Interview is scheduled after almost 2 months. Normally I thought the Interview letter will be received 30-45 days before the Interview. Can anyone confirm this...

Good Luck for your interview

I guess they are getting calls from too many anxious applicants. By setting up 3 months in advance maybe USCIS will get some respite from the callers..:confused: :D
 
No, I have not been scheduled for an oath. It has been four months since the interview. I did intiate an inquiry by calling the 800 number last month, but have not heard anything from the local office.

i intitated inquiry about two months ago and nothing ...no reply.

i went to bcis office after 3 hours wait person at counter said....

its only been 3 1/2 months wait...its TOOOOOOO early.

he told me to wait reasonable period of time and for BCIC's reasonable period is 9 months after interview...thats what he said!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

looks like oaths are stopped country wide except for California.
 
Does any one know if BCIS has started speeding up the applications processing. Some people have started getting FP call in one month which used to take more then 2/3 months in the past. Has anyone filed in DEC 2003 and received the FP'ing dates?

Please share the information.

Thanks

Detroit N400 Time line - interview questions

Interview questions were real simple , If you prepare for the questions and answers which comes with N400 Forms they are more then sufficient.

They ask 10 questions and allow 4 incorrect answers. They go through questions very fast as they have to interview so many people every day. But dont answer any questions if you dont understand , ask them to repeate , better to take more time then giving wrong answers.

I was surprised on the oath ceremony day , there were 1500 people in the hall to take their citizenship oath!.

Wish everyone ,good luck!

Regards
Mast
