N-400 San Francisco timeline

Can someone here post the first 3 letters of the receipt number?
The receipt number print on my cashed check is missing those letters
( I suppose they should be the same for all of us).

As far as I know, the receipt letter for N-400 can start with three letters followed by star (*) like: WSC*.....or LIN*....

Im just curious, I've noticed some people mentioned that Online Status Disappeared. When that happens and what that means?

Greetings to everybody.

I don't know and that's the reason I posted the information/question
in my post.

Any help would be kindly appreciated..


I am sorry for the delayed reply.

Our applications were sent on 09/15/2005. Since we did not get any FP Notice till 11/15/2005, I took infopass and checked with SFO DO. The officer confirmed that the notices have not been sent, but asked me to come back after one month, if I do not get the notices by that time. I was only trying to make sure the notices were not lost in mail.

We received the notices dated 12/01/2005 for FP on 12/15/2005, but we went early and got FP done on 12/06/2005.

We find today (12/26/2005), our WSC# status is not available on line and now we are expecting interview letters.

Visit to DO office with infopass was very helpful.

Thanks - Marine Resident.

I called the CSC cutomer service 6-7 times. and had already
scheduled an Infopass appt for 12/28/2005.

Fortunately, on 12/19/2005, I received my FP notice.
I will be going on 12/28/2005 for my FP at Oakland.
I cancelled my infopass appt. after I received the FP
notice.

BTW, my spouse got her FP done and cleared on
12/03/2005 and she received her interview letter
on 12/16/2005. Her interview date is scheduled
for 02/16/2006.

So I guess you should receive something this week
for sure..Good luck !!!

thanks

keep the alien number handy when you call. The lady on the phone told me that for most folks, the FP are returned back to INS within 24 hours.

Though, I didn't ask her about what her interpretation of "most" meant ?

Please don't laugh!
My question is: are they nice on the phone? (or at least civilized) :confused: I'm asking this because I had the chance to deal with so many rude INS workers that I'm hesitant to call them, or FBI or anybody else, regarding my immigration situation:eek:
Yes, after all these years they worn me out...
 
It's just my impression or is true?

I used to live in LA area. Most of my immigration issues were addressed, processed and solved there.
Now I live Portland. Today I went for my fingerprints (N-400) for the second time. (First was back in LA)
I arrived 1 hour earlier. No problem; They, starting with the security officer, were extremely polite and friendly :) The whole process took only 6 minutes (I swear! SIX MINUTES all together, since I set foot in the door until I went back to my car!) First time when I've done my FP in LA took about two hours...and about friendliness and politeness...forget it.
Back to Portland story: They ask me to fill out in pencil that usual form, and after that the security guy, gave me a number (#43) then he sent me to an IO who checked my papers and told me to have a seat. A few seconds after I sat down, a woman who was in charge with the actual fingerprinting, look at me and said: "number 43"...and I was the only one in the waiting room :D :D this was realy funy...two minutes later I was on my way to my car.
Nice, polite, friendly and efficient...Am I dreaming? Or should I hope for a nice change, that Portland INS people are totally different than the ones in LA? Does anybody had same pleasant experience with DO in Portland, Oregon?

the lady on the phone with whom I talked about FO status information did sound nice and respectful.

At the Oakland FP center, not sure whether those are contractors
are actual INS employees, it took me about 45-50 minutes for
the whole process. You fill out a form, wait, someone checks out
the form, sends you upstairs, wait in general area, then wait inside
for sometime and then atlast your FP are taken. You wait again for
some QA folks (yes - QA who verifies and signs on all FPs) and then
someone hands you over a small (hardly be able to hold) pencil and
a small paper for evaluation.

Most of the folks I saw didn't even bother to fill out anything. Just
saw them throwing the survey paper in the basket..So there you go..

304-625-5590 is the correct no. That's the same number which I called today.
Not sure about the other number though.

They are straight and professional, I called them today, the lady asked for my alien number and name and said : "your fingerprints had been received on December 23, 2005 and the results were returned to the USCIS within two minutes! "

I said thank you ma'am and have a nice day!
