San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline

I didn't get anything for 2 weeks ...

hi,

I'm in San Jose.

Mailed via plain USPS to Lockbox - paid at Post Office - not certified, got receipt for it.
USCIS
P.O. Box 21251
Phoenix, AZ 85036

Feb 10 2010
So far no receipt, no number, no check been cashed :confused:

Am I missing anything?
Is there a way to check what is going on?
Or I just have to wait for my check to be cashed and get reg # in mail?
Based on all your time lines it took between 3 to 5 days to get your check cashed and another day or two for reg # in the mail.

tnx

It's similar to me so far ... no YL. Did the IO discuss the traffic ticket at all?

The IO asked if I have any arrests/citations/etc, and I said I have a traffic violation, and offered to show the court disposition, but the IO was not interested in it.

For my spouse though, the IO actually did ask for a proof of payment of the traffic ticket (even though the ticket was < $100), and kept the court disposition with her.
 
Hi Praveenpeddi,

It takes two weeks to update the online system it was happened to me too PD Feb 3rd, tracking not available till Feb 17th hope this helps.
 
I have got the US passport in hand now, but Naturalization/Citizenship certificate is not yet returned, why? It was submitted along with passport application.

Check the mailer that came along with the passport. It says that the passport and the supporting documents (birth certificate, naturalization certificate) are always mailed separately.
 
Naturalization/citizenship certificate received back as well.

My saga for citizenship is over. Great mailer to provide guidance and time tracking.
 
Interview done and approved for citizenship. It took 8 minutes in and out. IO verified everything. Asked 6 questions. Asked me to wrote "Washington is the capital". Told me that I will be getting the oath letter in few weeks. Didnt ask or check any documents. Just asked if I have travelled other than listedin form. So you should know whats written in form. Be patient and let him finish and then speak. IO wants them to be listened. It went well. No issues so far. Waiting for the oath letter now.

Passed my interview today. It was a quite stress-free. I had a very nice IO who chatted quite a bit with me. Because of that I was in the interview for a quite a long time. What a relief!
 
Guys,
Got oath letter as of March 12 for ceremony on March 25. So journey finally seems to be over. Good luck to everyone. Below is my timeline.

Good to know this. My IO told me yesterday there are still slots for the 3/19 oath date and said I might even be scheduled for that. I found that a little hard to believe. Now that you're scheduled for the 3/25 oath ceremony, I would at best be on that day, and most likely later.
 
I passed my interview on 3/12, and recommended for approval. What's the typical wait time from interview to oath letter in San Jose?
