I applied on 1st October. USCIS got my application on 5th and sent a receipt immediately. My checks were cashed on 9th and I got receipt notice for me and my wife on 12th October. Then on 19th My wife's case showed RFE online and she got her fingerprint notice on 23rd October. However, my case status has not been updated yet. It is October 28 today and I don't understand why my case should take more time than my wife? Anybody in the same boat or any idea why this could be happening?

Is it possible for my status to not change but still get a finger printing notice? Has that happened to anybody? Or is the system very accurate these days?
 
Attire - what should I wear for interview?

Anybody who has attended interview in SJ DO please reply.

What is normal to wear for interview?

Is coat needed?
Is tie needed?
Is normal office-formal-wear (pants, tucked-in-full-sleeve-shirts) enough?

Thanks.

Normal office formal wear is fine. Decent ironed pants, tucked in collared shirt, and shoes. No need for coat or tie. At least I wore this attire for my interview last week, and I was as formally dressed as any of the other interviewees.

Posting in the San Jose tracker:

Hi,
I recently submitted my N400 and did mention my single traffic violation (failed to stop at red light before right turn, dismissed after taking traffic school).

I am looking for any experiences from applicants in the San Jose DO with traffic violations:
- Mentioned in N400 ?
- Did IO ask about it ?
- Is a court disposition required in the interview (fine < $500, no arrest) ?
(All I have is a online printout from the court's website, and seems like requesting a certified disposition from Santa Clara court is not that easy -> stand in > 100 long line, apply -> wait for 4/6 weeks).


Thanks,
-cd

~3 weeks. IIRC I got the OL on the 14th of this month.

Edit :
My file went in for an additional supervisor check which was anticipated to take a week or so.

I remember visiting this office for the GC FP. But was not sure if the N400 FP is also done here, or in the DO (Monterey road ??)
