Mailed to VSC.

Delivered on: 07/23/2007
Check cashed: 08/7/2007

I tried to check status of my application based on Recpt # on my cashed Check, but there is one letter missing & it does not accept my recpt # online, Anyone else had this issue? Same thing for my spouse. Any one having same issue please post here.

I had a similar issue, samsung2. I was able to use the ESC*00xxxxxx # and it worked. It should be a total of 13 digits and usually there is a * after the first three letters. The rest are all numbers.

Give it a shot. Also, my notice arrived about 5 weeks after they cashed my check. See below.
 
VSC July filers - Any Progress??

Hi!

Looking at the posts of samsung, BombayChap, and going2paris - I'm worried that I still don't even have a receipt from VSC (they received my N400 on July 25th and cashed the money-order on 3rd Aug).

To make matters more complicated - when I type in the ESC number on the back of the money-order it says that a notice has been sent out - but when I called the USCIS customer service I found that they have no record of me ever having submitted an N400 application (based on my A number). I mentioned the ESC number on the back of the money-order they cashed and the woman told me to disregard that - as it could be someone elses (?!!) - what sense does that make?
Why would they write someone else's ESC number on the back of *my* money order?

Other July Filers - please let me know if you have or have not received a receipt yet (and when you filed).

Thanks!

Hi,

My application was delivered on July 26. The check was cashed on August 8. I am still waiting for notification.

I look here and people say they got it after 5 weeks their check was cashed.

It should be on the way. I think you should wait.

I believe the reason it is taking that much there were a lot of applications at the end of the July because of fee increase. I heard many people who are here for many years but didn't get the citizenship because of their age, english skills etc. sent the applications due to fee increase.

No receipt yet

Thanks for your reply nyarcher. I've seen the 5 wk rule of thumb too. For me it's been almost 6 wks since the money order was cashed. The woman I spoke to on the phone said to call back only if I hadn't received anything 45 days after the cheque was cashed.

I'll wait to see if the USCIS website receipting time for Vermont advances beyond 25th July and then call back if I still haven't received anything.

Cheers,

S.

Hi All,

Thanks.

What is the difference between VSC timeline and Newark, NJ timeline? I applied at the VSC center in May and am told it is being processed there, however, I live in NJ, therefore I have to have the interview in Newark, NJ. Which one of the timelines do I follow? Anyone who applied in May received the IL notice yet?

Thanks.
 
Il

Got my IL a couple of days ago for October 29th. My PD is March 22nd, and I took the fingerprints in May. Judging from other recent postings on this thread, I guess the late March/early April batch came in. VSC appears to be right on target with about 7 months for N400 processing.
 
Case Details:
Female w/ arrest & fingerprint record for unpaid traffic ticket. Court-certified disposition & police report sent with the application. No lawyer used.

Time line:
3/26/2007 : Application sent by overnight mail w/ fee money order to VSC
3/27/2007 : Priority Date
4/??/2007: NOA received
4/??/2007 : FP notice received
5/16/2007 : FP appointment done
9/12/2007 : IL received (letter dated 9/05/2007, USPS VT stamp 9/10/2007)
11/05/2007 : Interview scheduled

Online case status (LUD: 04/12/2007) still visible as pending! and no email received from USCIS automatic case status updates!!

Good luck to all others waiting for their IL.
