San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline

Anybody got interview notice recently

Hi,

Its been about 5 weeks since we had our finger printing done. However, we are yet to get interview date notice. We had finger print done and result sent (by FBI) on June 1st. Our PD is 4/28. I am wondering whether anyone, who has similar case, recently received interview notice lately. Additionally, how do I find out whether case stuck due to dreaded "name check" . The online shows same status since last many weeks. Automated system also reads out same information. Is there any way to find out progress after FP.

Thanks
 
awaiting interview notice as well.

FBI cleard my prints on June 12, and I'm still awaiting interview notice as of today (July 7) . No changes on the online case status for me either. Please
keep me posted if you find out a way to check if case is in "name check"

Thanks

There is no problem doing it earlier. I did it earlier. Make sure you
drop by in the afternoon.. around 2ish. They are crowded in the
morning and might send you back otherwise. Good luck.

I gave my FP today and it went smooth. How do I go about finding FBI had cleared it?

My wife's finger printing is after 2 weeks and I spoke to the application center front office about taking it earlier than the scheduled date and they said it should be OK. Is there any issue in taking it earlier than scheduled? Please update.

In fact my officer told me that I may get an oath date on 7/19

Anybody know about next date for oath?

I had the interview today. The officer was very courteous, went over the application and confirmed some information on the application; handed me a page of 10 history/goverment quetions and asked me to read and answer them.

Everything went very well and I was expecting an approval. But unfortunately she looked up her paper and told me that FBI has not finished its work yet and told me it could be another 2 weeks. I got a N-652 which indicated "IP pending" which I do not know what it stands for.

She confirmed that the unfinished FBI work is name check and told me that I can request an infopass if not receiving the approval letter for a while. I read that recently there were a few posts about name check. Was any of these pending application approved within a few weeks? I am afraid that I might need to get information on how to schedule an infopass in a few weeks.

Kids to oath

Me and my wife have oath scheduled at Campbel center today at 1pm.
We were wondering if we can take our 3.5year old son with us.
It is not required as he goes to daycare, but it will be fun if we can take him.
 
Hi useful...I think I've read that folks have brought their children to the oath ceremony...So, it should be alright.

Congrats!
 
Congratulation to all new citizens!
(Great deal of anticipation here – my interview is one week from today.)

I'm a USC now! :)

Attended Oath Ceremony at 1pm at Campbell Heritage Theatre today. It was a pretty graceful ceremony; they completed the whole thing in about an hour or so.

Michael Chertoff was at the ceremony, and there were a number of TV reporters. Apparantly this will be in tonight's news on TV.

At the end of it, they gave out the naturalization certificates. They had also setup a desk to promptly address any corrections etc to the naturalization certificates.
