There have been more reports of the entire naturalization process taking about 3 months, but this is still the exception rather than the norm.
 
Not sure if this is true in all DO's

I filed in July (RD 7/28) FP done on 8/20 but still no change in case status
61 days and still no interview date . My DO is Atlanta

I would like to disagree. Not because it took me less than 3 months, but I had been watching this forum closely and find that at least for Dallas DO, it has been taking 3 months or less on average for the last 6 months or so. I know it probably takes longer at other DOs.

I agree at Lawrence, MA DO it takes over 3 months. My FP is done on 8/3 (07/07 PD), I still have not received an IL. 83 days.
 
Hi Guys,

The google map showing to take exit 228 on I10 towards East and go in opposite direction on East Service Road. Is it easy to get There?

Thanks

Yellow Letter received for Spouse

Got yellow letter for the spouse on 10/02/09. Says applicant should bring driver's license at time of interview with the yellow letter. No word yet for me. USCIS site still says RFE on Aug 11th for both. Wonder why some people get the request for driver's license while others don't. Usually Driver's license is a method to prove identity but a passport could do it in the case of naturalization. Maybe it is a proof of address? What info does the DL provide that any other form of id does not provide?
 
Back in the Game!

Finally got my Interview Letter after all the running around.

My online status had changed to SENT TO DO FOR INTERVIEW on Sep. 05, 2009. Usually you get the Interview Letter within a week max after this happens. I waited for 2 weeks and called USCIS. Had to escalate to the 2nd level as no useful info with the 1st; they just repeat whatever you see online. The officer wouldn’t reveal the date except that the letter was mailed on Sep. 3rd and the interview was somewhere in October. He just confirmed that it wasn’t clashing with my travel dates.

Waited for another week and called again this time the officer let me know the date (Oct. 20, 2009) and assured I would get the letter.

Again waited for another week and called; this time the officer said he would put in a request for a DUPLICATE LETTER to be mailed. And I should get it within the next 5 business days. And within 2 days I get a letter (no, not the duplicate interview letter ;) ) from USCIS instructing I make an INFOPASS appointment to resolve this. So, I make an INFOPASS appointment for the next available date, that was a week away (Houston is extremely busy?).

Next day the Interview Letter arrives at my door step. Apparently it was delivered to a neighbor! So, it was the USPS that was the culprit, rather this specific postman.
