wow, congrats.
That's really fast.
Is your interview date before your 3-yr or 5-yr anniversary?

Yeah, it was pretty quick. Maybe because I live less than 5 miles from the Lewisville facility j/k. Actually the interview is 2 days shy of my 3 year anniversary. So I couldn't have taken the oath the same day anyways. But I would have rather had it 2 days or even a week later than wait for the oath, primarily because we were going to move end of Oct. We'll see how it plays out.

zombie, wait before you congratulate me, it is just an interview letter :). Dallas has been really fast lately, taking an average of 3 months from what I see. In some cases like mine, I have noticed less than 3 months from the application date to the interview/oath date. How long on an average is it taking for Charlotte lately? Based on both our dates, I think you should get the IL later this week or early next week. Keep us posted.

I moved to NC from Dallas. I applied for my GC through DORA in dallas and i got my conditional GC in 45 days.....so as i know dallas is super fast.(though i know that has nothing to do with N400 processing)
Heard that Charlotte might take anywhere from 4-8 months. Based on the progress so far i am guessing 3-4 months might be possible.
I congratulated u already cos interview should be a cakewalk for u.(As long as u can cram the civics stuff):D

Keep us posted ...would definitely like to know how the interview goes.

Got FP Notice but Not RFE notice

As mentioned earlier, self and spouse had rfe's raised on 08/11/09 (notified via email) but no sign of it yet in the mail but we got out fp appointment mails dated 08/13/09 yesterday. I think the system message is wrongly worded (as noted elsewhere in the forum). Can any one verify if this message changes a few days after the FP is done. Our FP is scheduled for the 26th. I'll post my experience and if the message changes after a couple of days of the FP.

Funny that you mention it. Even though I lived in Dallas in 2005, I applied at NBC instead of DORA as I knew we were moving to VA in 3 months and didn't want to risk being at a different place before it was approved. So my GC was delayed by almost a year thanks to the incompetence of USCIS in transferring files, and sitting on them. Maybe it is my turn for a quick processing? ;) Hopefully Charlotte wouldn't take as long as you say. Keep us posted.

I am glad the interview is on the 25th and not earlier because we were going to be out of the country through the 20th. I had tried to time it well knowing how quickly Dallas processed this and that seems to have worked. Now, if only the oath would also get processed in a timely manner provided all goes well.

Did you try to listen to the CD they gave you at the FP place to prepare for the Civics interview? I tried that on my way to work today and found it to be terribly monotonous and boring. Based on what I heard, I think I should be okay for the interview, but will probably read the booklet just in case.

So how are you liking Charlotte compared to Dallas? I loved all the trees they have there.
