N400 Timeline: Houston, TEXAS

You should be getting the acknowledgement letter sometime in the next week or so. Further be prepared for the finger printing after about 2 weeks of the letter. The finger printing letter usually does not give enough time, may be a few days. After finger printing, you will get the interview letter (usually withing 2 weeks), and the interview is generally 3-4 weeks after the interview letter. Good luck

My last name starts with "M" and my interview was on May 23, 2006. I received my oath letter on July 14, 2006 for the Aug 09, 2006 oath ceremony. A friend of mine, whose last name starts with "A", was interviewed in April 2006 (i.e. before myself), and so fat no oath letter for him. So I have a feeling that this theory that they issue oath letter according to the last name is not valid. However, good luck in getting your oath letter. Please let us posted when you get one.

I am not going to debate if this is true or false...

But the theory is uscis starts mailing u the letters according to the first intial of the last name.and they start from z and go to A.


See urs in m u got it and later mine..btw my last name starts with k.....Btw i had requested for a name change....
Before my citizenship last name started with s and now its going to start with K....


Whatever it is..really appreciate all ur help.....

NExt Passport/oci and consular processing...damn..i am still thinking of say 4 months....
 
querry11: Congrats on getting your oath letter. It is a nightmare waiting for the oath letter. Hope rest of the people who are waiting for their oath letter receive it in the next few days to take oath on the 9th of August....... :)
 
about passport...what r u guys planning to do...apply the same day..is there any thread particulalry for passport?

thanks in advance
 
Have the passport application ready, two pictures and the fees, go directly to the post office after the oath ceremony.........make sure you make a copy of the naturalization certificate because you have to mail the original certificate for the passport....... :)

sorry to hear that u r stuck in name check...guess u have the option of 1447....start working on it...
 
Houston folks

I recently applied and my check has been cashed, but don't see a clear receipt number on the check image that I can use for checking online status -any clues?

My experience with trying to get court records of local traffic ticket dispositions is not good. Most expect you to personally show up to make a request. Any suggestions?

Anyone know if we can opt for taking oath in Beaumont if one is not scheduled in Houston for the coming month? Not having a ceremony in a given month would necessarily double the number of people in the next month.

Those who have begun the process in the first two weeks of August, please post your timeline. My timeline:

Fyi, the receipt number begins with SSC* and is nowhere to be found on the cashed check (front or back), we just have to wait.

Citi2007,

You have a good progress so far. 16 days from PD to FP is fast. It took about 5 weeks in my case. We haven't received any receipts yet for my wife and we mailed her application 2 weeks ago exactly. It took a week for her check to be cashed
 
Alex_I

A friend of mine from Houston applied on July 5th and had his FP done by 28th. Common thing between us is that both of us haven't changed jobs or addresses since getting our GC. Not really sure if that is a factor or not?

Hopefully you will hear soon on your wife's application.

The real wait begins after FP 'cos of name check etc.
 
My Timeline ( TSC/Houston)

NOA - 7/21
