Los Angeles, CA - N-400 Timeline

I took it to mean basically the capacity, or how many applicants they can schedule for that location. It doesn't seem that August ceremonies would be full already, since they seem to schedule them about a month out. (You get the letter about 1 month before the ceremony)

It sounds like you should be just fine to get your passport by September.

Hi,
Just wanted to add my timeline here. It has been 4 weeks since I was placed in line for interview, I am not sure what is a regular timeline on that.
LA DO appears pretty slow, so time to play the waiting game :)

What do you mean? You had the interview on the same day then me and you are still in the "Testing and Interview" stage? I think they do not update the status for everyone maybe it depends on the officier that interviewed you, but i have to say i was suprised too that i got scheduled for the ceremony that fast.
 
Woohoo! I will be taking my oath tomorrow at 12:30!

Congratulations spikatana!! I guess your oath ceremony will be this month end.
Hopefully my interview will be straight forward.
 
Hello,
Can someone tell me about the steps about transferring the case to local office and about receiving the yellow letter?
Do they always happen? Any timeline, when these happen?

I don't see this posted in everyone's signature, so I am little confused about it.
 
Hey Now_N400,
It took me almost 2 months to get the YL & more than 3 months for interview date from when I was in line for scheduling. LA DO is very slow, it takes more than 4 months to get to interview stage. If you are lucky 5 months to oath.
 
Here is my interview experience. I had my naturalization interview this morning at 7:45 AM in LA. Reached the place around 7:20, it took 25 minutes to go through security & to room 2050. Gave my letter at the counter @ 7:45 and was asked to take a seat. I was called in at 8:10. The IO was nice but to the point and did not make any small talk. First I was asked to take the oath, then she asked me for my DL, GC & Passports. We started with the Civics test.

Civics Test
Q1. What is the name of the national anthem?
Q2. What is the voting age for presidential elections?
Q3. What it the "rule of the law" ?
Q4. What Ocean is on the West Coast of the United States?
Q5. What do the 13 stripes on the US flag represent?
Q6. What event happened on 9/11?

English Test

Read "Where is Washington D.C?"
Write " The capital of United States is Washington D.C."

She did not ask me for any other documents, she went through the N-400 pretty much line by line. She asked if I worked & paid my taxes. She checked my visits in & out of the country very intently although none of them were more than 1 month in duration. I had 12 trips in the last 5 years. She did not ask me any questions about them, it took a few minutes which I spent starting out of the window ;-)

The process was straight forward. It took around 10-15 minutes, she gave me the form N-652 with approval & told me it will take up to 90 days to get the letter for the oath ceremony, but it will probably be quicker. Then she photocopied all the pages from my current & expired passport, my DL & GC & wished me good luck :)
She did not ask me to sign the photographs.

Caveat for USCIS offices is that cameras are not allowed. I went here on the way to work & had my laptop, cellphone & kindle with me & forgot I always have a small camera in my bag (Doh!), but the security did not remove it.

Now to wait for the letter for the Oath ceremony.
 
No YL yet

Yesterday I received the notification for interview scheduling, however I have not received the YL yet.
Is this normal?
