Raleigh/Durham NC - N-400 Timeline

I have also received my interview notice for June 17th at Durham, same for spouse. We both did FP at Charlotte on April 19th.

Congratulations....
That is exciting. I am very happy for you. Case are really moving now in Durham. Knp, do you know if they do same day oaths in Durham or not?
 
What is the cut-off date that they started assigning cases to Raleigh-Durham DO? I applied in December 2007. Seems like I am stuck in Charlotte DO.

Does anybody know?

Thanks,
Newbie001.

I don't think there's a cut of date as it's been confirmed by one of Atlanta_Brother's friends that they received interview letter for July 08 in Raleigh DO and their PD is June 15, 2007. It looks like they split the processing queue in half and are slowly making their way forward to July 07 applicants on one side and backing up to December 07 on the other. If you're in the Raleigh area, then expect your case to be handled by the Raleigh DO.
 
Friends,

Ok, based on new development @ Raliegh-DO, when can we expect interviews
for charlotte folks ( Aug,07 & Sept07 filers)? Just to get some approximate idea. Thanx..

Based on what we've seen so far, I predict interviews in Sept-Oct 08 for Aug, Sept 07 Charlotte filers.
 
No. I would say Oct Nov 2008 for Aug and Sept 2008 filers. Charlotte has been stalled for weeks now, and I don't except much miracle to occur.
 
Yes. Let me explain. Most DOs are scheduling interviews for recent applications while working through the June backlog at the same time. But have you heared of any recent interview scheduled in Charlotte ? For example, Dallas is working through the backlog of July 2007, but my friend who sent his application in March 2008 has been scheduled for interview (ON A SATURDAY). It is the same in Raleigh.

As of Charlotte, I have not heared of any recent interview either in the backlog pile or in recent applications. It proves that Charlotte is totally stalled. I have the feeling that they did not schedule any interview recently. Can you prove me wrong ? If they are so overwhelmed, why are they not working on weekends? Someone reported that you don't see any car pass 5:00 pm. Saturday, nada.

I don't want to say this, but Charlotte is a PARTICULAR DO.

Is there any naturalization limit per DO per year ? Has Charlotte reached its limit for this year or is managing not to go over this limit. If not why has the priority date moved backward one time before moving forward just 11 days last time ?

USCIS is supposed to hire 1500 new employees. I have the feeling that they hired more customer service specialists to handle our calls and complaints than immigration officers. If not, why are they not providing Charlotte with enough officers since this is probably one of the three slowest DO in USA ?

Put these things together and tell me if my assumption is not reasonable.

Peace....

Apart from synn_r who is ex-military, I'm not aware of any other filers in the Charlotte area. As far as i know, everyone else who posted here whose FP was done in Charlotte and lives in the Raleigh Triangle are are now serviced by the Raleigh DO. We've even had confirmation from a June 07 filer who received interview notice from Raleigh.
Have you heard or do you know of any posters who live in Charlotte area who have not received interview notice recently or are you basing your theory on the fact that you haven't come across anyone who received their interview and actually lives in Charlotte?

Well, it's good to hear that they're also attacking the queue from the other end (i.e., the 2007 end). At the rate things are going, we July 2007 filers will probably be reached first from the 2008 end!
 
I don't know if you guys have ever seen this, but these are the criteria used by USCIS to rate knowledge of english.

Seems like not too complicted

well, I applied in March/08, a few days earlier than fbanna , Charlotte DO, and had FP done on 4/11 (Charlotte).

I haven't heard anything since then.
I live about 45 Min from Raleigh.

Were you able to confirm that your zip code is serviced by Raleigh DO?
 
No. How does one do that?
at the time I applied, of course the Raleigh/RTP do didn't "exist", so my DO was naturally Charlotte.

Do you mean that now my DO is Raleigh?
if yes, how does one confirm that?
Thx.

Thx.

You can check it on the USCIS website facility locater:

https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=LO

Sure enough, 27506 falls under Raleigh Do.

Interesting that fbanna did his FP after you yet he got IL already. Perhaps marriage based applications take longer since they require more investigation?

Ha! Thx.
So does this mean that for someone who applies from this area at this moment/from now on is handled by the Raleigh/durham DO,
OR:
will my N-400 (and of others who're from this area) which are already in process be "transferred" to Raleigh DO, and handled there from now on?

There have been at least 2 cases that I heard from applicants from pre Raleigh DO opening who have received interview notice from Raleigh DO so that seems to confirm that they are being transfered over.
I never was able to get confirmation of this from USCIS. I even asked the question on the teleconference call to which they responded they didn't know but will look into it.
