Just an update. I attended the Oath ceremony at the Nob Hill Masonic Center @ 9 am today. I had decided to walk from the "Powell Street" BART station. Unluckily there was a train stranded in the tunnel causing a long delay. Hence, I reached the place about 15 minutes late @ 9:15 am. It definitely wasnt a problem, as there were people straggling in much later than that.
Everything got over by about 11:15 am or so. I registered to vote, and applied for passport right there. 1188 people got naturalized today.

Most of the people were applying for passport. They just collected the filled in form that was given as a packet during the interview (hence, though crowded, it didnt take any time at all). A downside is that, the officers were not checking the correctness of the form and if you had filled in everything.

It is 0.6 miles from Powell Street BART station to the Nob Hill Masonic Center. The problem is that its pretty much uphill. It took about 15 to 20 minutes. Going by car I would think will be a big No No, unless you plan to come in at 8 am. I noticed the whole of "California street" jammed with people trying to get their cars into the parking lot.
 
The online status disappeared on Friday. Got it this Monday. Keep checking the mail. You should get it soon.

Masonic & Around

I live around Masonic Centre. If someone (say with family) wants to drive to the city for oath, you can park under the Grace Cathederal opposite to Masonic. The parking lot entrance is on Taylor street between California st & Sacramento st.

Bart is a better solution. You can also try to take a cab from Bart station to Masonic and it may cost just $5.
 
Interview

Interview is @ Oakland.

Thanks Vummi for the info. I will take Bart and Cab option instead of looking for parking.

applyforcitizen,

I heard that after FP is done, USCIS 1)reviewall the application details again with IBIS check results, FP check, and name check (if done), and schedules interviews in a 2)batch.

looks like people who FPed anywhere from June 10th to July 10th (give or take a week) are scheduled (batched?) for interview around Sept 15th (again, give or take a week here).

For some people the review can take longer (say 20 visits to foreign country, 10 past addresses, & 3-4 kids etc);

Give another week.

Dear Vummi,
My timeline is so damn similar with yours (13 June - priority, FP - 6 July), yet i haven't got any interview letters... Can you please tell me when your NOA for interview was issued and when did you receive it? Also, could you please share how many times your case status was updated and when did it disappear? Thanks.

Pssible Name Check issue

Nanup,

Seems like i am in the same boat. I & my wife got the finger printing done on 17th May, 2006 in oakland. My wife got the interview letter on 9th June for August interview and i am still waiting.

how should i proceed? Whom should I start contacting?

Thanks in advance.



nanup said:
Accompanied my wife for her oath taking today as a guest (we had both applied together). The total ceremony lasted about 1.15 Hrs (although we were there for more than 2.30 hours). Around 1170+ people took oath today. And they do this twice a month. The top three countries were Mexico, China and Philippines.

While I was there I went to their 'resolution counter' officer and inquired about the FBI NC issues. They said informally that lately it has been seen that if both husband and wife apply together the chances that one will end up in the name check is very high, specially if one spouses name contains full or partial name of 2nd spouse. Not sure how true this is...but forces me to believe as I fall in to this category.

eg:
Spouse1 : John Douglas Adams
Spouse2 : Mary John Adams

My take on this is: The person who lands up in the NC drama is usually the spouse whose name was checked 2nd (in which case the permutation of the names would have been already checked earlier which hits a duplicate or match). Must be a bug in their software. The work around probably may be to apply 120 days apart or in a different batch if you have common names.

PS : If you are planning to take toddlers for the oath ceremony as guests, believe me they will get bored very fast. There were quite a few in the ceremony today making lot of noise. Take them only if you must, it will make your trip more peaceful and less stressful.

Still waiting for interview

Online status changed AFTER I received the interview letter in hand.

N-400 received : 15 June 2006 (Priority Date)
FP done:5 July 2006 (Walk in) (FBI responded in 3 mins)
IV letter recd: 21 July 2006
IV online status changed: 25 July 2006
IV date: 19 Sept 2006

How can I make sure that the DO requests both A# files (Iam an AOS-CP greencard case) before my interview?
