If your wife fingerprints were unclassifiable or rejected by FBI then she should massage her hands with Hand cream and fingertips 3-4 times a day for 6-7 days before she again goes for fingerprints OR request the fingerprint technician to take her fingerprints on FBI card.

It means your Interview date is 66-69 days after you did Fingerprints.
That is the average time of about 2 months to get Interview date after Fingerprints for Newark DO.

Never received letter for additional Evidence, but website says they mailed a notice

I never got a letter to send additional evidence, just the letter for the FP date, which was Sep 10th, I did my fingerprints on the schedualed date, and now when I login to the website i see this :
<--------------------
Request for Evidence
On August 24, 2009, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case N400 APPLICATION FOR NATURALIZATION. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the requested information. This case will be in suspense until we receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once we receive the requested evidence or information and make a decision on the case, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

A request for evidence is made when an application/petition is lacking required documentation/evidence (initial evidence) or the officer needs more documentation/evidence (additional evidence) to determine an applicant's eligibility for the benefit sought. We may send you a request for evidence at any stage of our review. The request will indicate what evidence or information is needed for us to fully evaluate your application or petition. The notice will explain where to send the evidence and will give the deadline for your response. Your application or petition will be held in suspense during that time. If you receive a request for evidence and have questions about what you need to submit, you may call our National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.
-------------->

Should I call and ask them to resend the letter for the additional evidence?
Is the additional evidence the FP??? maybe?

I've received an additional evidence when my case was transfered from VT to CA, and I sent everything and I got approved for the permanent GC,
should I be worried?

Got Email today (10/08/09). that "Case Transferred to Local Office for Standard Interview" for self and spouse.
 
Friends,

I have sent N-400 on 9/21/09 and received by USCIS 9/22 but haven't got recept Notice yet, check not deposited yet.

any idea why it will take longer then other people?
 
I received a second fingerprinting notice during the N-400 process in the mail and will go, of course. Does anybody know what this could be about?
 
Walk-in FP Question

I just saw my online status today stating that I have an RFE on my N-400, however some helpful folks here stated that that was the finger printing notices.

My question is that the FP date is usually within two weeks of the FP notice date. Unfortunately, I'm travelling that week and I'm afraid that the FP date would be on the date that I'm out of state.


I've been reading about walk-in FP.
Can this be done @ Elizabeth NJ ?

Does this mean that even though I have a set date for FP,
I can still walk-in and get the FP done ?

If the walk-in is not possible, can I re-schedule the FP ? I believe this is not advisable since the next FP date that they give you can be way out ?

Any response appreciated.
