My DO is San Francisco, got PD notice in early June, and PD is 6/1/2005.
However, I haven't received Finger Print Notice yet. I went to SF immigration office in late July, but I was told there is no record related to FP yet. :(

Browsing the forum, it seems most of people got their FP within 2 months. What should I do now (or is there anything I can do)?

Thanks
 
You can
1 - Call the USCIS Customer No-Service's 1-800 number.
2 - Write to the SF's USCIS Director and/or California Service Center's Naturalization Division.
3 - Wait another month
4 - check on the message boards as to what dates folks are getting the FP letters in SF.

Good luck.
 
the mail with FP notice might be lost or misplaced by postoffice

This is my guess and what I have been worried as well
 
This is my timeline for N-400 San Francisco (Oakland)

Did you get a receipt notice with the WSC* Number????
You can check online at:

https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/caseStatusSearchDisplay.do

You will need your WSC*number, enter it with the asterik and everything!

This is my timeline and experience for you to get a reference!

Region: San Francisco, CA (Oakland Field Office)
Mailed: April 20th,2005
PD: April 25th,2005
FP: June 3rd, 2005
Interview notice: June 25th or so...
Interview: August 22, 2005

PS: The interview went well. The interviewing officer went over my application in great detail. All questions on the form, and addresses and dates, one by one...I found it a little bit unusual, but she was polite...She went over all my tax papers in great detail...She asked some of the questions twice or more. I just focused to answer them in detail...specially my addresses and employers... I could not remember exact dates... I have moved over 5 times, and changed employer 3 times. She also went over all my passport entries, one by one against passport stamps... It was a thourough interview but in all, less than 15-20 minutes. The civics questions were printed on a form, she asked me to read them and answer them outloud....
At the end, she asked me to sign in cursive letters and not like my original signature. It was a bit odd, since I do not write cursive.... She asked me to sign my photographs in the same manner.

I passed, got the N-652 with the standard 'congratulations....
Oath: The N-562 says ' If final approval is granted, you will be notified when and where to report for the Oath Ceremony'......


I wish you luck!!!! :)
 
Thanks for your info, it's very helpful.

The N-400 status is NOT available on online, at least not until later stage. I confirmed this with immigration officers when I went to SF DO.
People in this forum also posted same story.

Hi always_living,

I am in the San Francisco DO region too and I've been able to check my case status online since the day I got the receipt. It has been the same since I logged in my receipt number, and did not change when I got the F/P notice. You can see my timeline too to get an idea of the processing time till date for me. I just finished my F/P at the San Francisco ASC today.

All the best with your natz process.

However, the status of your case can be obtained on-line if you register.

In order to register follow this link:

First of all, I'd like to thank everyone giving me advise.

Ok, there is a little twist on my case.

I was planning to talk to Immigration Officer at SF DO in end of Aug.
However, I got my FP notice, FINALLY. And I rushed to do FP the next day.
And, I receive my interview notice latter today. :)

So, this is my timeline

PD: 6/1/2005
PD Notice: 6/10/2005
FP Notice Date: 8/23/2005 (Rcv'd on 8/26/2005)
FP taken: 8/27/2005 (Scheduled FP: 9/14/2005)
Interview Notice: 9/19/2005 (Recv'd on 9/23/2005)
Interview Date: 11/9/2005


Still, my case is NOT available online at all.

Goodyman

Hi Goodyman, I do see officer gives out oath notice to others at Oakland office. However, I received mine thru the mail.

I think it depends if space is available on the upcoming oath or not. If it is already full, then they may just mail it to you for the next oath.

And also, after your interview officer approve your case, he/she has to get final approval from his/her supervisor in order to get you the oath notice. Therefore if the supervisor is available at that time, then you may get the oath notice right at the interview, otherwise, you may need to wait for the oath notice in the mail.

P.S. There are two pre-scheduled oath ceremonies at SF Masonic Center every month. Good Luck
