N-400 Question...

[Los Angeles_007]

Hello,
I have a general question to anyone who has has experience with N400 process (and any in put from the LA District Office).

1) N-400 submitted in early Feb 2006
2) 2/15/06, I received confirmation that USCIS has received it
3) 3/16/06, letter received to go in for fingerprints
4) 3/30/06, fingerprints taken
5) 4/26/06 MY APPLICATION MOVE TO LA District Office

Does anyone know why USCIS no longer has online updates once the application is move to the DO? I just called the 800 customer service and all they could tell is that the application is now in the LA DO and I need to wait.

The LA DO is currently processing application dating back to Aug of 2005. How realistic is this to take until they get to my case which was submitted in Feb 2006? Do you know if they give priority to people who have been a permenant resident for 26 years?


Is it safe to assume that once the LA DO receives the application that the fingerprint and background has been completed?

Any help would be greatly appreciated since I'm crossing my fingers to get my interview and take the oath before mid October of 2006 because I'm getting married and want to travel to my honeymoon with a U.S. Passport.

Thanks!!!

N-400 Follow up

I just got my interview letter yesterday (will be on June 21st).

Does anyone know how long after the interview do you take the oath? Is there a resource on the internet where one could find out the dates that oath ceremonies will take place?

Great! Thanks for the info Joe! I'm very surprised that my case is moving quicker than I excepted.



I assume that at the interview they tell you that you've passed/submitted everything needed for naturalization and to wait for the oath ceremony letter. I take it no more paper is needed after that other than to wait for the ceremony letter?

Ahhhh.....I hope that I don't get stuck at that point...I would have thought that since the case is already with the DO it has cleared with the FBI and all necessary agencies so I would be just the matter taking the civis test. Who does the 'name check'?

i do not have any answers for other of ur questions. However, for this one specific, the answer is most likely as "No".
