N-400 from Service Center to Lockbox - NEW USCIS PROCESS
Can someone tell me how it has reduced the processing time compared to the previous method in each district offices. Centralized data entry at lock box , subsequent initial processing at NBC and adjudication at local offices. How it is actually benefitted the applicants of immigration benefits?

This is not 100% clear, but I guess this centralized process brings in more efficiency in data management, may reduce clerical errors that might occur if it was handled at multiple offices, and a common adjudication process/steps can be adhered to rather than different offices having different procedure/asking for different documents, etc. Here's official explanantion: http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/n-400-spet-15-08-faqs.pdf
Guys and Gals,
I received a yellow notice from USCIS requesting me to bring more info about my taxes to the interview today. Havent received the interview letter as yet but am assuming that now all checks have been completed and have been put in queue for the interview. Has anybody else recieved these notices requesting additional info like taxes, birth certificates and arrest records( mentioned a speeding ticket) and if so how long after such notice has the interview letter come.

mnq_n400,
You should know this by now - If you don't get an answer hang up and call again, I had some 2nd level IOs telling me they can't give me the exact date of the interview, I just hang up and called again until I got someone who did.
Try the following - Me and my friend applied for N-400 at the same time, he has already received his interview letter, could you please tell me what's holding up my case?
It worked for me everytime, I feel kinda sorry that I had to lie but they gave us no other options, I see no reason for us not to be able to see the same info as a 2nd IO.
..Has anybody else recieved these notices requesting additional info like taxes, birth certificates and arrest records( mentioned a speeding ticket) and if so how long after such notice has the interview letter come...
I have received one - no interview letter yet. My wife and I both filed together, only I got this notice.
PS:- My wife also received this notice today (a week after I got mine).

I have receieved one similar notice today. My wife called my office and read the letter to me. It does say to bring birth certificates of my children and also since I have mentioned about my traffic ticket, the letter asked me to bring arrest documentation (although I was never arrested. It was just a speeding ticket for crying out loud).
Can some one please tell us (i and mnq-400) that is it normal? I do not have any interview letter/date yet like mnq_400. Also what kind of documentation I need to take for my speeding ticket?
Thanks

srhasan,
I called up my lawyer and he told me to bring a copy of the payment receipt for the ticket. He said thats all that needed for that. Since its just a speeding ticket and was never arrested. Again please let me know if you recieve any thing else. Hopefully we should be getting the interview letter soon.

I received the yellow letter today, asking about Driver license, kids birth certificates and "arrest records" ( I decalred traffic tickets on my N-400 ). Looks like they're sending the yellow paper checklist more often now. Hope we all get Interview letters soon!!
Consensus seems to be the mentioning of the ticket just my 2 cents. Hope you are right Roy2000.

I think the new Service Center to Lockbox process creates a new notice " Case Review Notice" after initial reviewing of A file and other security checks at NBC, Local offices/ NBC. Previously Service centers were combining both in one letter. NBC in consultation with local offices will schedule and issue IL afterwards.This is my guess, let us wait and see how the new process works. This is a transition time and look out for surprises!!!
Here are the two links that explains the new changes in the N-400 processing. If anybody finds more intersting and informative sites or pages please post it for the benefit to all.
Thanks
Neither of those documents have anything to do with the new lockbox process.
The first document is a memo from April 2008 sent out to DOs that suggests changes in the interview process to deal with the backlog of cases from 2007.
The second document from August 2008 are the answers provided by USCIS during a recent stakeholder meeting. Centralized processing to NBC began in June 2008, whereas the lockbox process only went live in January 2009.

It's more of a suggestion rather than a requirement. Whether the document will be asked for at your interview depends on your circumstance and/or your IO.
Nino77,
I just received two letters from USCIS. One stating that my finger prints couldn't be read so I need to get a local police clearance for each place I stayed over the last 5 years. It also states that a state report is preferred when available. And the 2nd one says that I need to bring Driver's License & Birth Certificates of my US born kid.

Just an update - I received my IL yesterday.
What does your online status say? Thanks.

Get police & state to be on the safe side
