Citizenwannabe dude...
Your case is similar to mine. I sent the application to Arizona though. Was delivered on 5th and checks cashed on 10/09. NOA was received on 12th. But since then no update whatsoever. Meanwhile wife who applied with me got FP notice on 19th.

hi guys,

quick question, i sent in my N-400 application on Oct 1st, 2009. The letter of receipt notice was received on Oct 9th, but after that there has been no change in my application. Most people who filed around same time as me have received their FP notice and it's been almost 5 weeks now.

Should i be worried? Whom can i contact to find out the status of my application?

Any suggestion will be greatly appreciated.

hi Sunshines - if there has been no progress yet, it is time for you to call USCIS Customer Service and find out whats going on - I have seen others cases moving forward once they called Customer Service

This is likely for finger printing. BTW, I havent received any FP notice or RFE message yet, even though my NOA is about a week before yours.
Do you have any traffic tickets that you metioned in your N400 ? I am wondering if that is causing some intial background check in my case.

complex_dude - mine took about 4 weeks too (FP Notice) but within 30 days you can not do anything. Hopefully you will het FP notices within 30 days of filing, else you may call Customer Service and enquire whats going on. It does not look like there is a specific reason why some cases are delayed while others move faster, may be just a coincidence or the DO or the Officer who is handling the case
 
I see quite a few of you did walk in FP's. Is that something you can just do, or do you need to call for a new appointment? Is there anyone who did this and got an interview quicker than the normal turnaround time, or does it not seem to make a difference?

Thanks

NOTE: He also said that if they are a bit busy, they send away people who come in for walk-in and ask them to come during their appt only. He said I am luckly that there is no one and he can easily do mine.)

11/11/2009 Status Changed to "Testing and Interview" However, I applied along with my wife, her status has not changed yet. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will change soon.


SPECIAL UPDATE: 11/21/2009 My wife's Status changed today (or maybe yesterday as I just looked at it now to check status). Now, both our application is in "Testing and Interview" status.

Update:

11/23/2009 Interview Letter Received Date (Both for me and my wife)
12/15/2009 Interview Date for me and 01/20/2010 for my wife
(Yes different dates for each of us)

12/18/2009 Oath Date

Oath done and now US Citizen.

My Oath was at 10AM 18 dec, I went there at 8:30AM after dropping my kids in school. There was an Oath at 9AM and since I was there early, they let me in it and was done at 9:45AM.

LUD = Last Updated Date - Once the case has been opened, in this instance, N-400 application, USCIS staff / officers do access the case whenever required and they may be making some updates on the case. Not all updates are visible to the applicants but significant updates such as RFE etc are visible.

Hi Explorer19, I did receive an RFE SMS as well (Nov 4) but I have not received it in the mail. RFE is Request for Evidence (additional documents or proof if it is through marriage, I guess). I don't think the FP notice is called RFE. I have not received FP notice either.

Hi dalixia

A RFE during N-400 stage is most probably a FP Notice.
This was proved by one and all. There are lot of posts related to this in this forum.

BTW I am Employment Based and not marriage Based.

Any documents that are needed for N-400 are requested thru the Interview Letter/Yellow Letter and need to be produced during the interview unlike GC process


I hope you understood.

Note: I can confirm that the RFE in my case is a FP Notice tomorrow as I am expecting my mail tomorrow as today is Veteran's Day and there is no mail delivery

Received FP Notice today
FP Date: 23 Nov 2009 (1 PM) @ Boston, MA (170 Portland St)

Details updated in Signature

Question:

Until now I thought my DO is Lawrence, MA (Checked on USCIS site using Zip Code)
But the FP Notice asks me to go to Boston ASC @ 170 Portland St
Does that mean my DO is Boston and not Lawrence?

Appreciate your response

hi Explorer19 - typically FPs are done at ASCs and DOs / Local Offices handle Interviews etc and DOs / Local offices are diferent from ASCs. I am not sure if it is the same in your case too. Most likely, the one you found using the zip code is the right DO / Local office for you.
