San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline
- Thread starter rahulrastogi
- Start date
Baed on the previous approvals, I am expecting interview date itself around mid may. So the notice should arrive sometime in April.
Also, were you ever able to track the status on uscis site. I tried both the numbers mentioned on top and bottom of the receipt notice. I still get the same error.

Interview Experience
I had my interview on Friday (17th March). I passed the interview and got the "Congratulations" form but it wasn't the most pleasant of experiences.
First, I was there 20m before my scheduled interview time and my name was called 50m after that (i.e. 30m late). In the meantime many, many people who came after me had their interviews and even left. The first thing the officer asked me was, why I was late for the interview... go figure !
And then there was this issue of "Selective Service" Registration. I had a letter from SSS indicating that I did not need to register because I got my GC after I was 26 years old (I was 26y7m). The official selective service policy for registration is less than 26 years old-- I checked on the website immediately after I returned (www.sss.gov). So I clearly did not need to register.
The officer told me that one needed to register upto 27 years old. I argued my case but to no avail -- even showed her my letter. She claimed it wasn't sufficient and knew the rules better than me. Finally, she made me sign a form in which I wrote down, I failed to register for Selective Service. At this time, I thought my citizenship application would be put on hold.
And then more trouble. There were more communication issues over signatures, writing my name in cursive, Yes/No answers.... and the officer was being constantly rude to me.
And then she finally told me that I passed and gave me my N-652 form which indicated that I had passed and was being recommended for citizenship. She said the oath letter would arrive in about 2 months. Phew! I really breathed a sigh of relief.
Hopefully there won't be any other problems through the oath & getting the naturalization papers. But I am still a little worried.
Good luck to all.

Not to be pesimistic,gazelle said:
I hope you get naturalized soon, and this is the big possibility. However, I learned not to trust those bastards, they lie all the time. On the same date they told me i was approved , a denial was issued.
Just be cautious, nothing else, and good luck.
Suriyan, I did get the notice that following week, but no FP notice yet. Seems you have been always ahead of me some days, so hope my FP notice won't be behind. I sent the application 2 days ahead of you, it is helpful to track your progress and then anticipate mine. Good luck to everyone.

Thanks.

San Jose Delays
For those who are worried about the receipt delays - my wife received her FP notice today after a long delay - so there might be some scheduling problems in the system.
PD:11/25/2005
FP (cancelled internally by system) - 01/07/2006
(We got the above info using INFOPASS at the local office)
FP notice :3/22/2006
FP Date: 04/06/2006
My PD was 11/30 but my FP was on 02/21/2006 - For some reason, her FP got cancelled internally and then was resent.
I am still waiting for my Interview date.

Took are oath today. The ceremony is held three times in one day, with about 500 people taking oath every time! Now need to apply for the US PP and the India stuff.
Good luck.
Good luck.
Wainting for interview as well
I had my FP on Feb 14th 2006 but still not received interview notice, whereas my husband had FP on 2/23/2007 and his interview is scheduled for April 17th. Just can't seem to understand the workings of USCIS.
Is there anybody else who had FP done in the week of 2/9 to 2/23 and still not recd interview notice?
The National service center is of no use.

I had assumed based on the others as well that I would receive my Interview date soon - (FP on 2/21) but where the INS is concerned anything is possible.
I used the INFOPASS to get the information (about my wife's delay) - I suggest that you set up an appointment and ask the local San Jose office rather than the National Service Center. Since I am travelling I have an INFOPASS appointment for the 10th of April - let me know if you find anything earlier.
