Phoenix AZ - N-400 Timeline

They will tell me they were processed, but they won't tell me about the name check, or they'll just tell me "they can't verify the name check"?
If they won't tell me, how will I know when USCIS has my FP from FBI?
Two days, is that just to verify FBI has them?
How long before I should start calling USCIS again?
I apoligize for all these questions.

Thank you, Cregan. You've been very helpful in helping me get through this process.
 
You'r allowed to have all the questions. Being delay is no fun ;)

Usually, FBI takes 24 hrs to process the FP. I had called FBI after 24 hrs: they had been processed. I called USCIS lv-2 IO and they had no record I showed up. I was loosing it :) but the next day USCIS had it in their system. I'm saying 2 days, because USCIS is slow. They do not tell us about name check.

The name check could take a few days to too long. So I would start follow up within a wk and then follow up every 2 weeks with lv-2 officer. I learned that lv-2 IO have access to our information. So make sure you do not get the information from the 1st representative.
 
Do go

Phxgirl,

They do open at 8 AM for sure, as I just had my FP done at that time. It does not take long.

It is worth a try to get it done with your Receipt notice, else go the infopass route to get you FP notice.

You might see a line of 10-15 people in the morning, but really it does not take very long, hence you should be done in an hr apporx.

Cregan,

I am going to try the FBI number for my application tomorrow. Thanks for the info.

Ha! Funny you should say that, I just learned that the hard way too.

Ok, I will follow your approach. I guess that FBI number will help many of us.

Thank you for clearing that up for me, asdasd. I'll be in there tomorrow morning, hopefully they'll take me, otherwise I'll set up an infopass appt.
I'm going over to 24th St. and Thomas.
 
Ok, FP are done.
For a minute I thought they would make me go back and get a copy of that FP notice. But they checked it and cleared me to get them done.
From what I figured from them, they'll take walk-ins any day of the week.
I'm happy now. I will follow up, as Cregan suggested.

Congratulations, you should be on the fast track now!!
I went down on Tuesday afternoon to ask if I could reschedule as I could not make the original appointment, they told me Wed and Sat and I had to go back the next morning:(
Maybe they have loosened up a bit:)
 
Your probably right. They most likely just do it on Wed and Sat.
You have to get the information from the security guard, very nice man btw, but he didn't have much information for me. Someone else came and checked w/ someone else, and that last someone else said to go ahead and get my prints.
Either way, I'm pleased.:)

Let us know when you get your Interview Letter.
 
thx! I believe we're all on track now, in Phx. :)

BTW, they gave me a packet w/ the old and new questions for the test. It explains which test you can take and all that. Kind of nice, I will use it to study once the time comes. I haven't opened it yet.
I will request the old test, since I helped my husband study for them and I became familiar w/ them. Well, that is if I get an Interview before October.
For those of you that have a choice, which one are you planning on taking?

I had my interview this morning and passed :):)
I didn't post my date earlier as I wanted to know if it was a good result first;)
The interview was very straightforward the only document he asked for was my GC he asked questions from the old test even though I had studied the new one but they were no problem.
He said the oath will be about 6 weeks.
For anybody going soon the DHS has public parking next to the building for $5 flat fee, right accross the road is the Central Park building where you can park for $0.75/ half hour cost me $1.50:)
 
McTavish, congrats. keep us updated with your Oath ... 6 wks ... I waited so long already. The're trying to get me to 2 yrs ;)
 
Congratulations, McTavish!

So you had your interview at the Central Park Bldg. My husband's interview was there too. I had been there once before, but he had not, so a day before he interview I took him there, so he wouldn't have to be searching for it. When he was interviewed they told him they saw us there the day before. Haha, they were spying on us. :weird:
Anyway, a lady he knows had her interview somewhere else, so I guess they do them at different places (?)

How long after the FP did you receive your IL?
I need to keep on top of things this time.

Do you know that is the one thing I did not keep a note of, but I'm going to say it was early November, sorry but that's my best guess:eek:
 
Phx_Girl, my father applied the same day as you. His FP were 10/15/08. On Thanksgiving I noticed his case status online was weird/not working. That weekend he received his IL dated for 1/20/09

Thanks for jogging my memory Cregan, I posted on your case status online thread that I got my IL on 29th November, so my guess was not so good! :eek:
 
I am expecting the IL in apporx 4 weeks.. with the dates beng 8 weeks from today.( I know I can be optimistic :) )

The application was filed the same time for myself and my spouse, both based on 5 years on GC(GC was based on employment I-140). Our case numbers are right besides each other and we had our FP appointment at the same time.

I guess we will have separate interviews?? Any insights into this?

If it is seperate interviews, I will need to prepare 2 complete files with copies of all the documents...
 
Was the interviewer pretty nice, McTavish?
I was in a hurry in the morning and didn't get to ask.
I'm so nervous about my interview. But I also want to get it over with.

I'll give it about 3 weeks before I really start calling USCIS again.
