Philadelphia PA - N-400 Timeline

That the number of customer service.
If you call them, they can tell you if your fingerprinting cleared.

The case status, does not tell you anything. Really all yucan do is check your mail everyday.
It will come though.
If in case it goes beyond normal wait time, then i will suggest you call them or go to USCIS
 
Also, I have very dumb question...Why cant I travel on 2 passports? Use Indian PP one way and US pp on the other way travel?

Thanks,
Akapoor

Your Indian PP is no longer valid once you have US PP. Using invalid Indian PP is sure to catch you in big trouble.
 
Thanks. That is why I said, it was a dumb question. Coz I didnt realize that my Indian PP wld become invalid.
 
Incorrect Number of Digits Entered?

When I call 1-800 number I am getting message saying that incorrect number of digits entered.
When I check the status online - status is pending.
What is this means?
Thank you.

Based on previous posts by others, it appears that after the case status disappears, people get the IL shortly afterwards. Of course, there is no guarantee that this will happen. In a sluggish DO like Philly, who knows what this means. A friend of mine has seen this happen and when he called USCIS, the CSR told him that the online status disappears after the case is transferred to then DO. He has not received his IL yet. I do not want to raise anyone's hopes esp where Philly DO is concerned.

For Philly DO, people who applied in Jan 2008 got their ILs in June and had their interviews in Aug. You can find a few of these posts higher up in this thread. From those, it certainly look like Philly DO has moved to 2008 priority dates, which is good.

Had my interview today.

Got this letter N-652 with "congratulations! Your application has been recommended for approval. At this time it appears that you have established your eligibility for naturalization. If final approval is granted, you will be notified when and where to report for the Oath Ceremony."

What does this mean?? :confused: So am I approved or what ?? :eek:

usually how long does this take to get a response from them???

Thanks

Docybear, congratulations on passing your interview!

From what I read and understood, this verbiage is normal/standard. You need to wait for your oath letter. Did you ask your interviewing IO about when you can expect your Oath letter?

Sorry nope, everything happened so fast that I forgot about it. What's the chances of being denied after this? This is really unsettling.....

Question: Does your case status still show up online? If it has vanished, do you remember when it vanished?
