N-400 San Francisco timeline

I had my interview today (05/02/2007). I passed both the CIVIC and the English test, but I mentioned about my traffic ticket I got last year...Mr honest man... :) I had missed out in the application form. I forgot to get the receipt I paid to DMV. I thought it was not a big deal but the INS officer gave me a N-14 for obtaining my driving record from DMV.:rolleyes:

I sent the driving record from DMV by Express mail today itself. My wife got thru her interview, today, and her Oath is scheduled June 5th. Anyone of you in my boat? Any timeline when I would get my Oath notice?

For obtaining the DMV driving record can one just walk into local DMv office and get it on the spot? whats the process for getting it?
 
I went to the INFOPASS apt in SF this morning. The officer has such a bad manner, not just inderent. I have been in US for 13 years, never experience this bad manner before. I said "How are you" to the officer. No smile, no reply. The officer answered my question in a very harsh tone. The result for me is that the name check still pending. I don't understand why the officer can't speak in a nicer tone. I just asked "what is the status of my case, was finger print OK?".

My suggestion: don't go to SF office unless it is a must.

N400 mailed: 1/3/07
PD: 1/5/07

simply walk-in to a DMV office, and tell them you need your driving record for filing US Citizenship and they should give it you with no issues. You pay a fee of $5.00 for 10 years record.

I recommend everyone who has got a traffic ticket should get a driving record from DMV wether or not the points are dismissed. I got a N-14 on interview just for a speeding ticket, can you believe this, no DUI, no reckless driving. I neither had the DMV record nor the payment receipt during the interview, I thought it was not a big deal and got screwed. There was some theard in this site that stated that you do not need proof for less then $500 fine, mine was for around $100.00 so I took it easy.

I hope someone would have warned be about it, proir to my intervew. I would have not been waiting for my Oath notice today. Anyway all the best.
 
It looks like its either very fast 3-4 weeks or very slow (upto 1 year). I am still waiting (Filed in June/06), today i got my second SR created....lets see whats the response. It will definetly be your background check is still pending.....


My neighbor (also came from the same foreign city) got interview letter 10 days after finger print. I have been waiting for 4 months, still name check pending.

This is fastest one I ever heard!

Did you get your GC in California or another state?
 
Question to am_ver

am_ver, did you get your GC in California or another state?
 
It seems to me that is why you received your IL earlier. I checked with several friends in California and anyone get GC in California they received their IL in 3 - 4 weeks and anyone get their GC from other states they are still pending... (sure there are exceptioan always)

Is there anyone who get GC in California and still waiting for IL with PD smilar with am_ver and me?
 
June 5, 2007 Oath at San Francisco Anybody?

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Friends,

N-652 was handed over to me on April 18th 2007, stating , Congratulations , I passed my Citizenship interview and I will be receiving the Oath letter soon. The DO mentioned to me that since I am travelling on 22nd May, they will send Oath letter for June 5th 2007.

Is there anybody on this forum who has received Oath letter for ceremony on 5th June 2007 at San Francisco ? I was curious when this letter appears in my mail box. Till today I was certain that it will come at least 1 month in advance but not quite so as today is already 7th May 2007.

Any guess

Thanks in advance.

Vishnu

Oakland FP experience

All,

I just received my FP notice today and it was scheduled for May 24 in Oakland. Wondering if anyone can share their experience going to Oakland for earlier date than the notice date? Do they allow that or give some complication? Thank you for sharing.

Vishnu,

Where did you apply and get your GC?
 
It seems to me that is why you received your IL earlier. I checked with several friends in California and anyone get GC in California they received their IL in 3 - 4 weeks and anyone get their GC from other states they are still pending... (sure there are exceptioan always)

I get my GC in CA, but still waiting for name check.

Processed in SF:
N400 mailed: 1/3/07
PD: 1/5/07
FP: 2/8 (done earlier 1/25)
I/V date: ??
Oath: ???
 
H1 -> Gc

Is your GC H1 based or marriage based? Did you apply your GC at CA or just received at CA? These are different cases.

My point is if someone starts and end his/her immigration journey at same state then timeline is shorter. I know and agree there are exceptions.
 
anyone recently receive IL?

please update. There is lot of updates at SJ DO and people start to receiving their ILs there. Any good news from SFO?
 
Ok, I got my Oath letter today in the mail.
It is dated 8th May 2007 and
I received it on 10th May 2007.
Oath is on 5th June 2007, 9am.

To answer Zegon: My GC and all the immigration process was done at San Francisco INS/USCIS. It is H1 based.

All,

I just received my FP notice today and it was scheduled for May 24 in Oakland. Wondering if anyone can share their experience going to Oakland for earlier date than the notice date? Do they allow that or give some complication? Thank you for sharing.

Not a problem what so ever...! Just walk in...security guard will give you a number as you do not have an appoitment...will have you talk to one of the clerk and if its not too busy, he/she will just give you paperwork to fill out and send you upstair. If they are busy, they will manually schedule you on the spot for the first available date. If you are going to do the walk-in I suggest, do it on Saturday around between 9.00 - 11.00 - supposed to be the slowest time.

Make sure you don't have a sweaty palms...clean it really dry before you go upstairs for FP.

Good luck.
