nime1,

This is their new policy. After 10/1, you cannot even send the application to vermont any more. Please check USCIS website.

I filed one month before you and I got the normal notice (from VSC) because at that time they did not implement this policy.

Don't worry for this and I think the goal is to improve efficiency.

Hi nime1,
where is this number printed - front or back of the check? I have hand written number start with ESC (more thn 13 char) on front and printed number start with ESC (13 char but hard to read) on the back.

i believe number listed on back should be it but it has "$" sign after ESC.
can you tell me where your number listed? front or back?
 
It is in front side of Check.. They don't write numbers with any sign ie *,$ or anyother signs.. this is what i have.. I just have ESC1234564....

You should have it on front side....
 
compaqdb,

Thank you for your help. I just checked USCIS website and it says it is new policy ....


Let hope this new policy get us Citizenship quickly...:)

There is no guarantee that your number will show-up. Many folks off late haven't been able to see their status.

When I spoke with the IO inquiring about my status some months ago and I inquired about the status not showing on their web site, I was told that the status for N400 applicants is not being updated on the web site any more for security reasons. But, I know a few people who submitted a few days after me could see their status online.

Did they ask any tax transcript?

Nope. They just asked if I had any taxes due and if I had paid all my taxes.

I went with a several documents, files - and I was not asked for anything.

The interview lasted about 5-10 minutes.
 
Hi Muku,

How did you find out that your FBI and Name check is complete? if you call to customer service then Will they tell you that FBI and Name check is complete or will they tell you to wait for more months?


Thanks in advance.

I called FBI about 2 weeks after my FP and found out that my FP check was complete - seems USCIS sent my FP onto FBI and they validated it the same day. But, FBI did not give me information about the name check and said they don't disclose that information.

I found out about name-check from a motherly USCIS operator who refused to transfer my call onto the IO but informed me that my name-check was complete and I was now in-line for an interview date - she lightly scolded me for being impatient considering I was well within the time limit for my DO.

I called the number and they told me that the fingerprint check was completed and the namecheck is processed by the washington agency and they dont disclose any details regarding the process. I went to fingerprinting agency on sept 5th and they told me that it was done on the same day. Fingerprinting is just creating a national database and it didnot mean the whole process with the FBI is done. FBI at this point do the fingerprinting within 24 hours.
