November 2009 N-400 Tracker

N-400 Application Update

Hey, my citizenship eligibility is 02/11/2010; my residency began 02/11/2005. My interview is scheduled for 02/10/2010 at 09:20 AM. Will I be asked to come back the next day for the oath? Has anyone been in the same situation? Or does it depend on the IO's discretion?

I called them up yesterday and the level 1 rep raised a ticket (or enquiry) and i received an email today saying
"The status of this service request is:

We apologize for the error on USCIS Case Status Online that states you were mailed an RFE notice requesting additional evidence on Form N-400, Application for Naturalization. This is a service error. The notice that was mailed out was your Biometric Appointment Notice with your local ASC which you may have already attended. Your application is currently pending and will be worked in the order it was received by USCIS. Again we apologize for the error and any inconvenience it may have caused you."

Does this mean i lost the 1.5 months time that my case was on hold?

I called USCIS again today and asked for the 2nd level immigration officer.
He says my application is in queue to be scheduled for interview but there are no dates available currently so i can expect to receive the IL anytime now. However my online status has not been updated.

I am scheduled to interview tomorrow (1/14) and my 5 years is up only on 1/31. But I got an Infopass and spoke to an official couple of weeks ago. She said it was the officer's discretion. Will know for certain tomorrow.

Good luck..let us know how it went..
 
Had my Interview today. Passed.
But, as the interview was before my eligibility date, the IO has to wait another 2 weeks befoer she can approve the applicaton.
 
I cleared my interview today. The officer who conducted mine said I could take the oath today PM; the topic of < 5yrs never came up. But while I was waiting for my wife to finish her interview, the officer called me on my cell and said she scheduled my oath by mistake and I have to wait till Feb 1.

Meanwhile, my wife cleared her interview and her officer had correctly scheduled her for Feb 2. He was nice enough to re-schedule mine on the same day, 1:30 PM. Both of us got the oath letter right away for Feb 02. No need to wait for the mail. I don't know why they can't do this for everyone.

Because some IOs aren't 'just following procedure'. Good for the Denver DO. SF DO... not so good on this item.

Congratulations, and its actually good they didn't give you citizenship before your eligibility date. I wonder if they would have called you back for a do-over on the Oath (like Obama had to re-do his Oath of office last January)

I was going to try to reason with my IO earlier today regarding 'approving the application before the eligibility date' v/s 'Oath before eligibility date' but she had already filled out the form while I was signing my photographs and when I looked up she just handed it to me and said 'If nothing changes between now and the 30th I'll recommend you for approval on the 30th and you'll receive your oath letter 2-4 weeks after that. We're done now. Have a nice day'.

I chose not to try to reason with her after that. She had already asked me to answer with a yes/no only to her questions so I figured another couple of weeks delay wasn't worth antagonizing a 'less than chatty' IO.

That explains it.. 'approving the application before the eligibility date' v/s 'Oath before eligibility date'.. well said.. If we can find the actual law, we will know which one is prohibited. But alas, we can never find that. Can we..??
