N-400 Fillings after July 31st

Here's a tidbit of information that proves that check cashing is done separately from data entry. I'm also including some background information that leads up to this conclusion.

In the upper left hand corner of my personal checks, where the name and the address of the account holder are printed, I chose the option to print only my name, omitting the address. Certain areas of Brooklyn (where I reside) have some short streets that only run for a few blocks. A typical name for such streets would be something like Beach 12th Street, Beach 13th Street, etc. I live on one such street. The geniuses who processed my check decided to write in my address underneath my name. My N-400 clearly stated that the street I live on is Beach 5th Street (not my real address), but whoever wrote in the address was apparently dyslexic, writing it as Beach Street/5. I called the NCSC to change my address, and was told that my case is not in their system, and I can't change the address until it is. There's your proof positive that checks get cashed BEFORE the application is entered into the system. We've all speculated about this, but now we have solid proof.

Hello,

Have you received your Notice as yet?

If no, I am certain, when you do the priority date should be the date they actually received it as the service center (someone correct me if I'm wrong).

USCIS had previously said they would honor the date the app was delivered.
 
I meant I put WSC*002069xxx instead because when I put WSC*002089xxx still doesn't work. By the way how come is October 29??

and no I haven't received NOA yet.

I am confused:O

I think that is the day, they cashed the check or start the initial process. But on your reciept should show the mailing date.
Yours should be close and I willl after you.
 
There is no logic at all.
According to update from Nebraska, all N-400 apps up to 11/7/07 were entered and receipts sent.
Can't be:)
We are on 11/29 and I did not get anything though my app was received in October.

I decided to sit and relax today (just today..lol)..

I doubt it's the day they cashed the check. My check was cashed on 11/15, but when I enter it into the system, 9/18 shows up. Maybe it's the date the package was opened?
 
Nimche and Action123,

Even mine receipt number on back of check says WSC*002186xxx. but it didin't pull anything up on the web site but when I changed it to WSC*002066xxx it said the following :-

"On October 29, 2007, we received this N400 APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case."

This is wrong because I had mailed my application on October 2nd, 2007 and CSC received it on October 3rd 3007. The check was cashed on 11/06.

This whole thing sounds absurd.
 
I think you are going to get the receipt first then. since mine is WSC*002189xxx. Let me know whenever you got your receipt

I told you guys I have finished random searching till WSC*002074*** and it shows Novermber 1st.
I don't know how far they are from our cases.
The case numbers are not in order, they are random. They might have gone further beyond this point but who knows?
I let you guys know from any updates.
Keep us posted

The processing times shown below are a tool for our customers to gauge our current processing times. When applications and petitions are completed within our target timeframes, that goal will be shown in the data display.



The processing times shown below are for applications that have just been completed. If you have just filed your application, these timeframes may not reflect how long your application will take to be completed. We encourage you to check this page periodically before inquiring about your case. The processing times are updated monthly.



USCIS has received a significant increase in the number of applications filed. In July and August, nearly 2.5 million applications and petitions of all types were received. This compares to 1.2 million applications and petitions received in the same time period last year. This fiscal year, we received 1.4 million applications for naturalization; nearly double the volume we received the year before. The agency is working to improve processes and focus increased resources, including hiring approximately 1,500 new employees, to address this workload.



As a result, average processing times for certain application types may be longer. In particular, naturalization applications filed after June 1, 2007 may take approximately 16-18 months to process.


We offer a variety of services after you file. For example, for most kinds of cases you can check the status of your case online.



For more information about when and how to contact us, whether your case is outside our processing time or if there are other issues, please see our customer guide –



Case Services - How do I… know what kind of services are available to me after I file my application or petition?
 
Guys, keep in mind that the date that comes up on the website means NOTHING. As I've mentioned before, my receipt number is available online, and the date shown on the website is exactly 2 weeks later than my application was received. We can speculate until we are blue in the face, but one thing is for certain: the dates that are returned by the website after you enter a receipt number are NOT the actual receipt dates or priority dates. We should count our blessings that at least our checks have been cashed (uh huh, count our blessings because the government once again took our money :D).
 
That why, we(immigrants) are good people. We spend more money than a torrist in this country. US doesn't have a lot of historical sites but has alot of immigrants. Ancient City of Immigrant(ACI)Society(ACIS)vs.(USCIS)

It's quite obvious that, as citizenship applicants, we have come to this country legally. We have done everything by the book, paid our taxes, made the effort to assimilate, and have finally decided to become full-fledged citizens. While we are paying highly inflated prices for subpar processing service, as well risk being stuck and name check (resulting in frayed nerves and having to spend even more money to file lawsuits), our government is concentrating all its resources on battling illegal immigration, without any success, mind you. With an estimated 12 million illegal immigrants in this country, 800,000 backlogged naturalization applications seem like a relatively small number. Is it really too much to ask of the government to be a little more efficient in helping us accomplish what we've LEGALLY strived for over many years? Sorry for the rant...
