USCIS Online Status
Here I am, holding my US passport and Naturalization Certificate. For my own amusement, I logged into my account at USCIS and checked my N-400 status:
On xxxxx xx, 2006, we received this N400 APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case. Please follow any instructions on this notice. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when yours will be done. This case is at our CALIFORNIA SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.
What a joke! I wanted to laugh, but again, I want to cry. They asked for fee increases to build out their flashy offices, get state of art computer systems. And here we are, money well spent. We worked hard for the money, made contribution to the society, yet the people who is supposed to serve us are not taking responsibilities. My wife's application is still in the black hole of FBI name check. IMO, it's not the machines or software that make the difference, it's the PEOPLE! With incompetent employees, what you get is just this, a dead computer system.
