Hello Everyone -

I don't see a current timeline for Columbus and/or Ohio. Please post your status here.

I just mailed my form yesterday. So nothing as of yet from me :p

Just a basic question though, I mailed through UPS w/o a return receipt. Will this cause problems in terms of tracking? I thought my check being cashed would've been a good indicator of receipt. But in some people's cases sometimes checks are not cashed for months. :eek: I hope it was not a bad judgement on my part...

9jaman - thanks for the info...i have a better idea now. i made the mistake of not sending it with a return receipt and don't even know if they have received it. i am quite nervous about it. the phone line is a vicious circle of prompts. i can't get a person to talk to and ask about it... :(

what exactly does Ol and Od stand for?
 
ignore my question, i figured it out :)

I had my interview today. It went pretty smoothly. IO went to the same high school as me, so we ended up talking about our high school teachers. He asked me 6 questions, asked met to write down "I drove a blue car" and I had to read a line. Then we had a little bit of chat about India, as his friend was going to India for summer school/internship.

I had forgotten to attach my photos with N400 application. I was expecting the IO to make a big issue, but he was cool about it. He said that even if I had forgotten to get the photo or the photo was not according to the required specifications, he would have asked me to run down the street to CVS to get another photo taken.

Also, at the end of the interview I was handed N-652 (Naturalization Interview Results) with two checks: "You have passed the tests of English and US history and government" and "Congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval."

The whole process was very easy and the IO was very helpful and understanding

Delhite - thanks for the info!

I had my fingerprinting done on Thursday. I am waiting for the letter :)
 
Anyone in Columbus DO waiting for the Interview Letter?

Anyone under Columbus, Ohio DO waiting for the Interview Letter? According to the website, their latest processing time is July 20, 2007. It seems it is one of the fastest DOs in the NSC region.
