Philadelphia PA - N-400 Timeline

I didn't think I'd be the first one to post an update here but my case status disappeared today (yes, today. It was very much there even when I checked last night). I sure hope that is a good sign (keeping my fingers crossed though). I will let you know if and when I receive my IL.

Any news goldenrabbit, bheem2007 or anyone else with timelines similar to mine ?

Thanks Kenttina,

I have cancelled my Philadelphia INFOPASS, and will try to set up one for Dover. Even though they may not do actual interviews, perhaps I will get to speak to someone helpful, and even an Immigration Officer vs. Information Offiicer. Will let you know how it went.

My time line is similar to yours with name change. I guess desidoc is also in the same boat. May be we all get at the same time!!

Update :
Guys, I have received my oath letter (N-445) today and the oath is @ 601 market street, Philadelphia. I guess all others with name change should be receiving OL's soon.

PD- 07/25/06
FP- 08/29/06
First Interview Date - 01/10/07 ( Sent them letter requesting to postpone as we went to India. In the letter we mentioned that we want interview after Feb 20, '07)
Second Interview letter received on 02/08/07 for interview 03/28/07.
Did interview today, IO said oath will be in 2nd week of June.
 
Finally !

Well, my IL finally arrived today. The interview is on May 15. If things go well I am hoping I can make it to that June 2nd week ceremony as well or is that being too optimistic ?

I just found an Adjudicator's Field Manual (adopted for public) for those of us who does not understand why it takes USCIS so long to do anything. It provides a good insight into how government can be so inefficient and bureaucratic. Endless pages of detailed instructions for those poor IOs.

Incidentally, I think it would help some people with question about interviews etc.

I sent a letter to Vermont again. This time, they replied with bullshit saying my case is till in 365 days timeframe. I have to wait. No any reason why my case is delayed and what cause the delayed. I think they don't even looked up my file, they just resent me I-797C

Kenttina,

I cancelled my Infopass at Dover (something came up on Friday), and in general I cannot get exited about infopasses based on all the comments on this Forum.

Like you, I sent a letter to Vermont asking specific questions such as (1) fingerprints (2) name check (3) anything else. Let's see if they come up with the same responce that you are getting. I also sent a letter to FBI re anything they have on me. Let's see if this produces anything.

Otherwise I just starting collecting this correspondence into a file so if worst case scenario, in a year or year and a half to go WoM. I do not think there is anything else available.

Kenttina, it seems that you will hit that 365 days pretty soon unfortunately. But to me 365 days is significant not because it is on their form, but since this will be time to start talking a law suite.
 
My wife still hasn't heard anything. I will taka the oath tomorrow. Btw., my case status online still shows "at vermont service center"....
 
Hi PSS,

Which county/city you live in? I am in Montgomery/King Of Prussia and I still didn't get my oath letter. According to your date I had my interview almost month-and-half before. I was wondering whether a specific court's backlog got anything to do with this.

Appreciate your help.

I live in Bucks county / Bensalem, hence I need to go to Philadelphia court. Bucks county doesn't have court which handles Natuarilization.. Hope u get yours soon. Does Montgomery courts handle Naturalization

Hi PSS,

Thanks for the info.

I don't know whether Montgomery court handles Naturalization. Is there a way to find out?
 
interview Q&A

hi i am new to this form.could you guys guide me where can i find updated interview cvic questions

thanks
 
Kenttina,

I had an INFOPASS at Dover. Nicest IO which ever existed. They used to process N-400s but no longer.

She checked my case. It is still at VSC. Everything is clear on my case except namecheck. In her experience it takes on average 8 months from fingerprint date for the namecheck to clear. 3 months examples which we see here on forum are extreme rarity.

Natuaraly, since the namecheck is not clear, she could not give me any more info. It is up to FBI now to make a move.

If you have a chance, I would definetely recoment to take INFOPASS in Dover vs. Philadelphia. At least you will have an intelligent discussion.
