I called USCIS today, had to go through all the standard questions just to have a customer service rept tell me that my receipt number doesn't show up online (D'uh, that's why I'm calling you to get more information). He put me on hold and I actually had to tell him that last time I called they weren't able to find my case either and that they transfered me to an IO. It was only after I told him that he placed me on hold again , and then came back to tell me that he would have to transfer me to an IO. After 10 minutes on hold , the IO told me that FP notice was sent out Jan 4th and that I should receive it any day now. The appointment is for end of this month (IO said he believed Jan 30). Leave it up to USICS to send me the FP appointment on the same day I am closing on my house The wait continues...
Reading a lot of the older threads I see it took up to 3 months for some people's checks to clear. I do not know if I was just lucky or if they are are actually moving along now, since my check has been cashed a mere week after sending my packet. Does that mean I can expect to see a receipt soon?
01/02/08 N-400 sent to TSC

01/09/08 Check Cleared
Hey, that's good news in my book! You'll probably receive it today or tomorrow. The bad news: after you get your FPs done, you'll have to play the waiting game for a couple of months, then schedule an InfoPass to find out the name check status, if you chose to do so.
No need for me to worry about name check delay as it is a one of a kind name that no one else has.
Btw does anyone have the link on USCIS for the receipt processing times.. I can't find it anywhere
WOW I guess for once in my life I might actually be happy about having a unique name myself too. My name does come up when I google it on product reviews and school sites and such. Btw does anyone have the link on USCIS for the receipt processing times.. I can't find it anywhere
I actually googled my name, and there are no other hits coming up anywhere in the united states. Hopefully, that'll help me breeze through name check.
As for the 16-18 month timeframes, I don't take too much stock in those either. That definitely sounds like a doomsday scenario to me.
