Hi All,

I've been following this forum for awhile now. It's finally time for me to contribute as well since the progress in my case is pretty fantastic. Did the USCIS finally get a grip on things?

Have NO CLUE as to why this is going so fast all over sudden...I'll take it with a grain of salt since there are few more steps during this process (i.e. IL doesn't mean the FBI check went through already or does it?)

What's your take on it guys?

Thank you for posting your timeline!

this could mean 2 things:
1) they reached March 2008 - which is unlikely, but would be great news if it was true
2) more likely LA DO started to have (or may be had from the beginning) the same problem as NY DO - processing cases not in chronological order possibly to reduce overall statistical waiting time.

as to IL meaning end of FBI check - I'd say 98% sure that your FBI check cleared just as USCIS new requirements said, but with USCIS there is always room for screw up and they love to brake their own rules.

total 3 cases - 2 MARCH 2008 and 1 April 08 from Santa Ana and San Bernardino DO's

If SB reported on June 15 date - processing December 07 really means they are scheduling oaths for Dec 07, then March 08 getting ILs could be chronological.

I am at the San Bernadino district office. It just got me concerned recently because i have a friend that filed way after me and did finger printing about 2 months ago. She just got her interview letter for august in the mail last week. From her application time till receiving her interview notice was about 6 months.

but S. Ana seems less fair

thanks for posting, I added it to stats.

BTW, I think it's a good idea to add case numbers to the stats (with XXXed out last 3 digits), that would give a supposedly realistic picture of how many approximately cases between certain dates.

here's my new search on case numbers meaning: http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=281448

In queue for Interview

Hey Feliz, add me to cases waiting for IL, I think I deserve it :)

WSC*001 702
Namecheck Completed: 05/2008
Placed in Queue for IL: 06/2008

What bothers me from today's Infopass is that nice IO telling me that I should be glad my namecheck is complete and it should take 2-3-6-12 months for me to get my IL, yeah, I asked him again if there is any certain timeline - "no, could be 2-3 months, could be 6 months, could be 12 months"
And I swear I could almost see smile on his nice face - are they getting back to me for sending all those letters/inquiries? :confused:
 
Hey Feliz, add me to cases waiting for IL, I think I deserve it :)

спасибо for update POCTOB, I edited it - so now it's 2 groups of waiting for IL - first - withing the average forum time, like right now in June I'd expect ILs for Aug-Sep 07, and second group - who was supposed to get IL 3 or more month earlier and hasn't received it yet.

but looking how Santa Ana sending ILs to April 08 cases, I have a feeling we all (except nfl0res and iluvfra) in that list should be in second group.
 
Close to 2 weeks back, someone had reported an IL receipt in June for PD of September 2007 for LA DO, but they didn't post the details.
 
One Year Anniversary Coming Up!

Hi!

Just wanted to say that the one year anniversary of my application is coming up on July 2nd! So exciting. Still waiting for Oath Ceremony Letter!

Happy 4th Everyone!

Best Wishes,
-jedi:eek:
 
I started reading this forum in '98 but this may be my 1st post. Thanks for all the great information. My INS/USCIS journey is coming to an end. Here is my experience of my interview a few weeks ago.

Appointment for 8:40 at 300 N Los Angeles. I scoped out the area with Google Maps' Street View feature to find the parking structure right across from the building.

Got to the "Los Angeles Mall" parking at 8AM. Parking rate is $12.50 for the whole day. There are a few places to eat that was open so if you skip breakfast you can grab something.

When you enter you go through security. It is no problem bringing a bag they just search it. There is a snack shop in the lobby with coffee, soda, snacks etc.

Take the elevator on the left to the 8th floor. There is a sign to room 8010.

I showed the security guard at the door my appointment letter. She told me to put it into the basket at window #1. No need to wait for someone to take your appointment letter. Just put it in the basket and sit down!

I lady behind the window scanned the bar code into a computer and then fetched a file folder from a row of boxes behind her. She placed it into another box. I assume each adjudications officer (AO) has his own box.

The waiting room has about 300 chairs. They were about 100 people and probably half was family. Contrary to the appointment letter, there are lots of space if you want to bring someone with you. There are restrooms just outside the room on the same floor. I suggest if you have to leave to ask someone to listen for your name and let them know you are in the bathroom and will be right back. The dress code was all over the place. I wore slacks and a collared shirt. Most people had jeans and a collared shirt. One guy has a suit and another lady workout pants with a purple T-shirt that said "He is my boyfriend BITCH". The AOs all wore what I would call business casual (no ties).

The AO will pickup the file and call your name. There are two doors so listen for your name and the door number. Some people got called over an intercom but most names were just called out from either door. Have your green card and drivers license ready since some AOs asked for them at the door. I was called at 9:10AM to door #1.

My AO (Hermond Jones) was very friendly. He took me to his office where he asked me to swear “to tell the truth”. After that he opened my file and started reading. We made some small talk about what I do and the computers acting up.

He went through my application asking to confirm everything. He talked so fast that I only got in a few yes-es. My application was very straight forward so he didn't go into detail on anything. He checked all the detail off with a red marker. He spent a little more time on the citations/parking tickets. Besides a few parking tickets I listed on a separate sheet, he asked me to confirmed that as indicated I paid the fine and did driving school on the "Driving on a sidewalk" (don't ask!) charge and the "Driving on an expired license" was dismissed. I had the court papers and my DVM record but he didn't ask for them.

He asked if I was OK with the oath of allegiance and I said yes.

Next was the English reading park. He put a piece of paper with a sentence and asked me to read, sign and date. The sentence was something like "I'm here in ..... (name of city) for my interview."

Next was the English writing test. He gave me another piece of paper and asked my to write "I walked to the post office", then sign and date.

The Civics questions are pre-prepared on a sheet that he grabbed from a stack of papers. Some of the questions were:
1) What are the colors of the flag?
2) Who is is the current president?
3) Amendments that addresses voting rights?
4) The one about sponsoring family for a GC

I got all 10 questions correct. He marked them as correct and asked me to sign and date the paper.

All 3 papers were put into my file.

He then said he just needed to update the computer and then I can go. The said something about a warning in the system that there are "inconsistencies" but it didn't seems to bother him too much.

He said congratulations "you passed the interview" and handed me the N-652 form (Naturalization Interview Results) that said he recommended my case for approval and a red booklet titled “The Citizen's Almanac”. He said I'll get my oath letter in the mail. He shook my hand and I left the office and back out the same door that leads to the waiting room.

The interview as about 20 minutes and almost a formality. I was very glad I got Mr. Jones since he was so friendly. I did hear about some other AOs being more intimidating.
