Los Angeles, CA - N-400 Timeline

That's not true!!!!!!!

The good advantage in applying at the ceremony is, you don't have to submit your original naturalization certificate, for your peace of mind cuz they already know you just became citizen. In all applications by mail, you should submit the original (I personally would be reluctant to do that!). I'm not sure wether they would ask to keep the original if you apply at the agency. Again, these are little details, but worth to check.

Not true!
Regardless of where you apply for your passport, you must send your naturalization certificate. I applied at the ceremony with thousands of others and we all sent our certificates along with the application.

Yes, I will do expedite processing for my daughter. She needs her passport by June 3rd, and I can't risk doing regular processing. My elder daughter applied for her passport on March 21st, regular processing. She received it yesterday, April 26th. I'll keep you posted.

Thanks Anahit!! My doubt came true as LA passport office seems very slow compare to other where for ex. in Dallas my friend got passport in just 6 days with *regular* processing.
Let's see how long they will take here in LA for your daughter's passport with Expedite process.

simidude, i looked at your timeline, seem your case moving pretty quick. i had to wait nearly 5 weeks before i got my FP notice
 
Statistics - They DO NOT tell you the truth

Thanks.
I looked at your posting about when to expect the approval notice for interview.

I took all the cases from LA, OC and SD areas ( where information was given about dates for various tasks ( I mean, notice, fp, interview notice, oath etc) and came with the following conclusions.

1) Average time periods from Receipt Notice to approval for interview ( not interview date) LA District Office is 138 days (sample size being 4. Best performance 99 days, worst performance of 161 days)
2) Average time periods from finger pirnting done date to approval for interview ( not interview date) for LA District Office is 75 days (sample size being 4. Best performance 34 days, worst performance of 106 days)

Same statistics for the OC area -
1) Average time periods from Receipt Notice to approval for interview ( not interview date) is 141 days (sample size being 3. Best performance 120 days, worst performance of 161 days)
2) Average time periods from finger pirnting done date to approval for interview ( not interview date) for is 83 days (sample size being 3. Best performance 63 days, worst performance of 114 days)


So, there is NOT much difference for processing whether you are in Los Angeles or Sanata Ana. So, I am hoping to see approval notice for interview end of July 05. Also, the time line between interview notice and actual interview date seems to bearond 30 days.

Hope all goes well for all of the folks here.
My two cents. Take with a pinch of salt.
BTW, I am aware that you CANNOT predict anything ( where lot of inconsistency exsts).

Same here...still waiting...

maheshgajanan, if you don't mind me asking what alphabet does your last name start with? My husband and my coworker both applied for the N400 in November. (PD 11/10/04) They got everything exactly the same day, notice letter, finger print, interview (03/17); except for the oath ceremony letter, which she received last Saturday for the May 26 ceremony. She thought they probably did the oath letter in alphabetical order. That's why I was wondering what your last name starts with. Her last name starts with M and my husband's starts with T. I hope this theory is right...then we should be getting it soon. Anyways, please let me know. Thanks!
