Q3 (JUL-SEP) 2009 N400 Filers Tracker

Fee for AOS - personal check

Hi,
Can I send fee ($675) using my personal check or it has to be a money order?
Also I spent 173 days out of US (six out of india trip for a month). Is these many days okay?

Thanks in advance.

FP Done today!

Updated signature:

Had an 8am appointment for Fingerprinting.
We were done in about 15-20 minutes.
 
Got FP Notice but Not RFE notice

As mentioned earlier, self and spouse had rfe's raised on 08/11/09 (notified via email) but no sign of it yet in the mail but we got out fp appointment mails dated 08/13/09 yesterday. I think the system message is wrongly worded (as noted elsewhere in the forum). Can any one verify if this message changes a few days after the FP is done. Our FP is scheduled for the 26th. I'll post my experience and if the message changes after a couple of days of the FP.

FP notice for spouse lost in transit

Hello all,

Our N-400 application was received by USCIS on 08/06/09 and my wife received her FP notice on 08/17/09 but I did not receive it yet.

The FP appointment for my wife is on 08/28/09.

Online status of both our cases showes " RFE" letter sent on 08/12/09, that is the date of FP notice for my Wife.

I am thinking they might have mailed FP notice to me too on 08/12/09 (RFE date) but till date I have not received the same.

I called USCIS and the operator said RFE is not same as FP and I need to wait atleast 15 days from the date of notice before they look into my file.

But 15 days means, it will be 27th of August and if they mailed my FP , the FP date would have been on 28th August (Basing on mywife's FP notice).

What should I do now? What happens if I miss my FP date due to non receipt /lost in transit the FP notice.

I will call USCIS on 08/27/09 (expiry of 15 day period) but will it not be too late to get FP letter for 28th original date?

If any one has such experience, please guid us.
 
Madhavib, the fingerprint notice usually says that if you can't make it that day, you can go every X day at the same time noted on the notice as long as you appear before xx/xx/xx the dates depending on you priority date. So if you can't make it, you can go the following week on the day they note on there......ugh I hope I didn't lose you with my explanation!
