Detroit MI - N-400 Timeline

Any recent Detroit Applicants?

Hi,
I have recently applied:
Mail N-400 on Jan 20th, 2005
Check cleared on Jan 26th, 2005
Received notice on Feb 6th, 2005
PD: Jan 21st, 2005

No fingerprint notice yet.
Any recent applicants to NSC/Detroit?. I am wondering when I should be expecting the fingerprint notice?
Thanks
 
Just a few weeks behind you...

Mailed N-400 on Feb. 5, 2005
Rec'd at NSC on Feb. 8, 2005 (from tracking report)
Check cleared on Feb. 11th, 2005
Received notice on ???
PD: ???

Based on your timing and the other recent case in the NSC thread, I am expecting my receipt notice any day now.

I can't find my case status on-line yet either. There is what appears to be a receipt number written on the front of my cashed check, in the form of LIN123456. When I try to enter this into the on-line status system (as LIN*000123456), I get the message that this case number can not be found. There is also what appears another receipt number on the back of the cashed check, but all I can decipher is the LIN prefix followed by some numbers that I can't read. I gave up until I get the actual recept notice, and I'm also aware that the on-line status system is currently useless anyway for these types of cases (although it would be nice to see come confirmation there!)

DT2000 and other current Detroit applicants, let's stay in touch with each other here in this forum as our cases move along!
 
Sure enough, I received my notice today, right on when I predicted:

Mailed N-400 on Feb. 5, 2005
Rec'd at NSC on Feb. 8, 2005 (from tracking report)
Check cleared on Feb. 11th, 2005
Received notice on Feb. 22, 2005
PD: Feb. 8, 2005

Did others have a comment on their notice about "missing evidence" that would need to be brought to the interview? There was no detail on what was "missing" and it also says my interview notice will specify what is needed. I had no exceptional situations on the documentation checklist that applied to me -- doesn't sound like a big deal as long as they tell me what it is!
 
I applied for my wife at NSC/Detroit

Application mailed to NSC: Jan 10, 2005
Priority Date: Jan 14, 2005
Received Notice from NSC: Jan 26, 2005
Notice for fingerprint Recd: Feb. 8, 2005
Fingerprints done: Feb. 18, 2005

The notice also said something about "missing evidence which she needs to bring to the interview". No mention of what evidence is missing.
 
NSC Rocks!

I received my fingerprint appointment letter today, less than a week after getting my receipt notice!

NSC indeed rocks

DT2000

Thats cool. My pd is Jan 11, and I got done with my pd 3 days back (Mar 1).
Hopefully we should have something positive by the end of the month.

Based on your case & Cantex, I do agree that: Yes NSC rocks so far. but hush lets keep keep it quiet :)
 
FP Check Status?

DT2000, ravirai or anyone else doing their FP recently,

How soon after your FP can you check on the status? Have any of you done this yet?

I go next Thursday (Grand Rapids ASC).

As I posted on another thread, the ability to add you case to a login portfolio on the USCIS status reporting system is a pretty definitive signal that your interview has been scheduled.

See http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=165136


Just wish my appointment was sooner than this!

Received interview notice yesterday

I applied for my wife at NSC/Detroit

Application mailed to NSC: Jan 10, 2005

Interview Letter Received: 4/23/2005 (Could add my wife's case to Online Portfolio on 4/22)
Inteview Scheduled for : 7/18/2005

The notice said to bring the letter, green card, and evidence of Selective Service Registration.

I don't know why they are asking for SSR as my wife did not get her GC until she was >25 years old. Can anybody tell me if they have been asked to bring evidence of SSR and how would I go about getting what they are asking for?

Thanks.

Naturalized Today @ Renaissance Mariott Detroit.

Posted July 01, 2005
Looks like 333 Mt Elliot (Detroit INS address)
people have become very efficient these days.

Took Five months and a week
from the day of mailing forms to taking oath.

Here's my timeline.

Jan 24th 2005 -- Mailed N-400

Jan 27th --- Reciept Date at Nebraska.

Recieved FP notice -- don't remember date.

Finger Prints taken -- March 6th 2005.

Interview Notice recieved -- March 18

Interviewed on -- June 14th. INS officer said oath would be July 1, '05

Got Notice for Oath Ceremony -- June 23rd.

Took Oath and Swore Alligiance to the constitution -- July 01, 2005

Rest of the information is irrelevent, but i'll ramble on

Renaissance Mariott was super packed earlier today with 900
people being sworn in and their friends and family ( about the
same number or a little less)

I had an Eriterian lady on my left, A jordanian guy ( Kamal )
on the right. Next to the Eriterian was an Indian woman from
Bombay and next to her was a cambodian guy. Then on the
right next to the Jordanian was an Iraqi girl.
They seat you according to the last three digits of your A - Number.

Detroit INS Head Carrol Jennifers was the best speaker out of
all of them. She had everybody laughing and rolling on the
floor, quite commendable for a govt. employee. She said
the Detroit center has a mission to reduce the processing
time to less then six months for every one starting from
2006.

Please take your passport pictures with you, Since the post
office people set up tables right there after the ceremony
for people to apply for passports. I registered to vote also.

Hope this information helps. It's very encouraging to see Detroit
being so fast. So good luck every one.

And Happy fourth of July,
