N-400 December 2009 filers' tracker

Interview done and approved for citizenship. It took 8 minutes in and out. IO verified everything. Asked 6 questions. Asked me to wrote "Washington is the capital". Told me that I will be getting the oath letter in few weeks. Didnt ask or check any documents. Just asked if I have travelled other than listedin form. So you should know whats written in form. Be patient and let him finish and then speak. IO wants them to be listened. It went well. No issues so far. Waiting for the oath letter now.

I sent my photographs with my name and A# in the back printed in pencil, and was asked to sign in pen in the front from lower left to upper left during the latter part of the interview.
 
my interview at filadelphia was descheduled. my wife has completed her interview succefully on time but I received descheduled interview letter on 03/01/10. I called 800 nimber but customer service didn't provide me any info. customer service said that it could be for any reason. just wait to get reschedule interview letter. does anybody know how long is it take to get reshcedule interview letter? can I do anything to speed up my interview rescheduling process??
 
My interview got descheduled as well on March 10th 2010. Interview was scheduled in San Antonio for March 22nd. I called 1-800 number as well but didn't get much information. All I was told this my application is still within normal processing time and interview will be scheduled on a later date.

I would greatly appreciate if someone with similar experience can shed somelight on how long this could delay the process.

Baba11 - Lets keep in touch and share information as we learn.

Thanks - tejas
 
tejas,

I keep in touch and share info as well. when I called 1-800 number, she told me that you will get reshceduling letter between 30 to 60 days. I plan to get infopass and go to USCIS office.

baba11 - When are you planning on taking infopass appointment? I just went through few threads where people posted deschduled interview related information. It seems like there are 3 or 4 reasons -

* If the file doesn't get to the local offic I/O in time (in my case they descheduled on 03/10 for an interview that was scheduled on 03/22 so I doubt that this was the reason)
* Lack of resources at USCIS local office (vacations, too many scheduled interviews etc.)
* Need for additional information on the case (i.e. more background information)
* Mistake (in 2008 it seems like duram I/O had clerical error where descheduled letters were mailed by mistake)

I tried scheduling INFOPASS this afternoon but it says appointments are not currently avilable in my area.....weird.

Please keep me posted. Thanks.
 
tejas- I was able to get infopass for 03/24 so i will be there around two weeks from now. hopefully they have enough info by that time.
main issue is that we don't know about the reason for descheduling so we can not estimate rescheduling date. I know that we have to wait at least a month before we hear anything. I will inform you after I get more info.
