amigo777 if you do not recieve your FP notice by 01/19/2009 you should call USCIS because the max wait for FP notice, if I am not mistaken, is 60 days. I hope that helps

Hi folks,

My turn, I sent my N-400 on 09/1/08
Check cashed in 09/03/08
PD 09/05/08
NOA received on 09/15/08

NOA letter states that my applicaiton has been sent to USCIS National Benefits center and this is part of administrative process .....
Also, it said I should receive the interview letter within 90 days.

Pardon my ignorance, why the app being sent to National Benefits Center and states that I will get the interview letter, where is FP letter, namecheck process etc. before final interview? I guess I need to read more about this process.

I also registered on the USCIS.gov site and was able to pull up my N-400 status(says "Case received and Pending") using the LIN number provided on the I-797(NOA).

Update on 1/9/09: Got my fingerprints done 10/10/08.
Received on 10/31/08 the initial interview letter for interview on 01/28/09. Received on 12/23/08 the yellow letter(Case File Review Notice/Interview Document Check List) stating that I need to bring
1. state-issued driver's license or photo id card
2. certified copy of my kid's birth in USA
3. I had indicated that I had gotten traffic tickets(latest ticket I got is more than 6 years old and thus difficult find any supporting documentation) and thus asking details about arrest records and court dispositions.

I would appreciate if you could comment on item 3. If I do not take any support documentation for item 3 as these are so old and difficult to get any kind of documentation now, would it be a problem.

Thanks for your time in answering this one.
 
completed the interview today

I had my interview today - appt was 8:30 a.m, however, I only made it to the center around 9:15 (took 3 hours to get there due to icy road conditions). The interview was over in less than 10 mins and I was out of the parking lot by 9:30.

I had answered the arrested/cited question as "Yes" for speeding tickets. I had obtained (painfully) certified copies for all 3 speeding tickets from the respective courts. The officer didn't ask for it and commented "we wouldn't deny you citizenship over speeding tickets" (one of them was 10 years ago).

That's it folks, looking forward to the Oath Letter / Ceremony now.

Good luck to all.

Wow Congratulations, I had my FP after you in Oct, and still no word from immigration. My mom had hers in Sep and received her IL in Nov
 
my time line

Although my case took almost two years, I will post here my time line. My time line should not stand for normal processing time for Detroit DO, I believe. First I stuck on back ground check for 15 month. Then the officer at my interview forgot to let me sign N-400 which delayed my oath date.

Any way, my case is from Detroit DO, and I think I should let people from the same DO aware of these issues.

Did your interview happen prior to the 3/5 yr anniv date?

Thanks
 
re: when did i apply

I applied my N400 2.5 months prior to completing my 5 year term as a permanent resident. My citizenship interview was well after (nearly 3 months) after the 5 year clock. hope this helps
