Newark, NJ - N-400 Timeline

Interview letter arrives

My spouse just received her Interview letter - I am still waiting for mine...

Receipt Date: Oct. 11, 2006
Priority Date: Oct. 11, 2006
Finger Prints: Oct. 27, 2006
Interview: Feb. 12, 2007

VSC and Newark DO
 
rakesh14,
You should look at status of N-400 applications only and not that of N-600. N-600 is related to children of USC applying for certificate of citizenship.
You are delayed for getting IL . I suggest you take an Infopass appointment and go with list of qestions to find out .
 
Seems that I am in the same boat with rakesh14. My RD is 6/15/06. FP was done in July. Still have not received the interview notice. I also filed with VSC, and according to the online case status it is pending at VSC. I thought all the N400 need to be filed at a service center, not a local office. Maybe I was wrong?
 
Receipt Notice received but no FP letter yet

It has been over a week since my wife received the Receipt notice letter from USCIS.

But we have not received the FP letter for her yet. We had sent the N400 on Dec 1st. How long does it generally take for the FP notice letter to arrive after receiving the receipt notice?

Thanks

It can take upto 2 months. Make sure that the check was cashed and call the National Customer Service Center line after 4 weeks.

My time line is as follows

PD- 7/17/2006
FP - 8/5/2006.

Status on USCIS Web site says that case is in VSC. I have taken infopass for Thurs 21 Dec, at 8:15 AM. I hope the answer wont be "Name Check"!

I just got back from the USCIS office, I wasted 3 hours of my time. I had an appointment for 8:15 I was at 970 broad Street at 7:45. I went to Window no. 3 and the Lady (Officer) asked me for my Infopass appointment and my A# . She told me that my application is at VSC . So I asked her what to expect, Her answer was "Nothing at this time, You may receive an interview letter, and may be interviewd but It may be some time before you take the oath after that" :eek: . So I asked her what exactly the status of my application is , if it is stuck in the infamous Name Check. And she said "Well they actually started working on youor application on july 17th, They have the results of your finger prints, But they are still processing your application. This is all we can tell you at this time. I dont think even the VSC has can give you too much info. You will be notified if there is a change in your status. Thank you and have a nice day" . I was out of the office by 8:05 AM. I met this other gentleman while standing in the line out side the building before going thru security and he told me he applied 7/05, was interviewed 2/06, but was told that he is stck in "name Check", and unfotunately, he got the same answer today. So I am going to forget about naturalization or citizenship for another 2 months. and if nothing happens by then I will take another infopass appointment. :( :confused:

Thanks, Browny. I feel a little better. I knew it was probably going to take about 6 months after FP. Now I know for some it took more than 6 months. Aren't some people lucky and we are not one of them. I just wish I could check my status on line.

Happy new year everyone!

Warsigh,

I hope we'll get our IL soon, may be in next 2 weeks. Keep me updated.
 
My husband had his fingerprint on Nov 9 and received his interview notice in mid-Dec. I did my fingerprint on Nov 14 and has not received my interview letter yet.

Just wondering if anyone did their fingerprint on or after Nov 14 and has received interview letter? I hope I'm not stuck in name checks ...

I went to Newark, where I gave my first FP. Sure I will post it whenever I get the IL.
 
@avaswa

I understand that your citizenship interview at Newark must have been done on 01/11/2007? If possible, can you please post your experience?

Thank You,
patkt
 
Interview procedure & questions

Could anyone who has been through the interview process lately share his/her interview details. I have heard that starting sometime in January 2007, the entire process is going to be changed to descriptive questioin/answer and Computer Based.

How much of this is true.

Thank you
