Los Angeles, CA - N-400 Timeline

For obvious reasons it would be inappropriate for me to do that. In an open discussion forum like this, the most I am at liberty to do, is share my experience (so that it may help someone else in a similar situation). I'm sure you'll understand.

Just updating status: My Wife had her Oath last Friday 12/19 @ 09:00 AM


So as of 12/18, both me and my wife are proud USC , next will come the POST Citizenship tasks (Getting Passports, Change status with SSA, and register to vote) but I think we need some rest, as there is no rush after reaching the final line of being citizens.

Well thanks to all in this forum, it was really helpfull during the process and for all who just started or at any stage of the process, I wish you all good luck and happy holidays.

I had 2 tickets one for 20 and one for 100 the newest was back in 01 ,today i went to court to get dispositions,they not only gave me a copy and a disposition with a stamp ,the lady told me merry cristmas and send me on my way ,at no charge ,that was nice .ah?:D
Im not suggesting you need the dispositions of it acctually you dont if they are beow 500 but I got a special case so Im preparing for the worst.
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!:)
 
Online LUD changed and also received a email indicating that on Dec 24th they mailed me a RFE. I am hoping this is the fingerprint thing and not a actual RFE. I am yet to receive the physical document and am wondering if its gone missing. They mailed it on the 24th. I understand Christmas is in the middle but should it take this long to reach me?

Should I be worrying?

Thanks Jwong,
Am going to wait till Jan 2-3 before I call. Looks like the Los Angeles thread is fairly inactive so was looking at other timelines and getting a little antsy.

If you have your FP App @ Van Nuys, you can try to do an early Walk in to save few days, try early morning, both me and my wife did that
 
Yep its Van Nuys.
I have been thinking about going early. I was concerned that since its been going so fast, it would lead to an interview date before my 5year anniversary (March 9). But looking at your timeline it looks like they schedule interview right after the anniversary. Is that consistently true for LA DO?

Around 9 AM is early enough? or do they open earlier?

"Is that consistently true for LA DO?" , This I can not confirm, but anyway, for sure they will schedule you Oath date after your 5 Yrs.

When I went to VanNuys ASC, I was there before 09:00 AM, and there were some people already there.

Also you have to know that it depends on the person who will do the FP for you, some guys are nicer than others, means one can say OK to do early, another might give you hard time, so it is your call , Good Luck
 
Did a walk-in FP today. Also my 485 case had a latest updated date on Jan 3 2010 . Has that happened to anyone?

went for an interview today. everything went smoothly except at the end i was told that decision cannot be made and officer gave me WR-821 stating " Pending Background Check".
what should i expect now? further delay?
i asked him why background checks was not done? answer was its not in their hands some times it take few months to clear.
he had also mentioned that i dont have to come back. once the background checks are cleared they will send me an Oath letter.

should i worry about something here. My record is clean, no arrest and no criminal activities.

this thread is not very active. Might not get too many replies. Can you post your timeline? Wondering if teh interview was scheduled too quickly not giving enough time for the checks. Am waiting for my IL so want to be aware of ssues.

What is the difference between proof of marital union and marriage certificate? This is requested in the document check list prior to going in for the interview...
 
Some states allow you to be legally married without having to go thru the traditional marriage license/registration/certificate.

Is your N-400 eligibility based on the 3-year rule (married to a USC spouse) ?

I'm married but my yellow letter did not ask me to bring any marital documentations.

And my eligibility is based on the normal 5-year rule.

Yes...my wife is applying based on the 3-year rule and the check list is from the N-659, Naturalization Interview Document Check List....it's a generic page that many receive.

I found some information from another website on the term, "marital union"...having to do with proof such as car, house, boat, insurance papers, credit cards, leases, bank accounts, etc....papers with both applicant and spouse's name on it...

Please feel free to commment if I am mistaken =)
