San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline

Waiting for Priority Date

Hi

I mailed my N-400 papers on 17th july by certified mail to Laguna Niguel . Got a receipt, 10 days later. But, till today I have not received any letter from them, giving my priority date.
In the case of my colleague, he applied more than a month ago...approx 25th june..but he too has not received any correspondence from INS.
Both of us, had put in "Present" in section 6B. For "To Date" for the most recent employer.
Not sure, if that is causing the problem.
There are folks who have applied much later and have received their priority dates and finger printing letters from INS.
Any suggestions, as to what to do in such a situation ?

Thanks

I've just applied ~ 10 days back and also put "Present" in the "To Date" for employment history for current employeer. My check was cashed last week, still waiting for receipt/notice. So I am hoping that this does not create a problem.

I don't know what else can one put there, since present seems to the most correct response. If you put the date you are applying as the "To Date", that would imply that you were not with that employer after that date.

Any one else put a specific date for current employer in the "To Date" on the n-400??

I also noticed that the cashed check did not list a receipt number i.e. WAC*XX....

Reading some previous posts, people have stated that the cashed check has the receipt number written on it. Any folks who remember their cashed check, did the service center write the receipt # on the check b4 cashing? :confused:

I guess I can answer my own questions since I got the receipt when I checked my mail this evening :). So as far as my application is concerned, the "Present" did not seem to have made a difference. See my signature for timelines for the process to date.

The check had the receipt # listed on the front, however it was not in the WSC*00xxxxxxx format, it just listed the numbers xxxxxxx so I was confused if the check listed the receipt #. Similar to a few other posts for CSC my notice number starts with WSC too (CSC also uses WAC). Now the wait for the F/P notice starts ........
 
Hi sfbayguy

Thank you very much for the information. I feel a bit relieved..that putting "PRESENT" for the current employer will not pose a problem. I hope to hear on my priority date soon.

Thanks again

I filed N-400 on Aug2 and got the PD of Aug 08.

Question for people who recently got fingerprint appointment. Does you status online (on ins website ) show that you've been sent the fingerprint letter ?

My status just shows that my application has been received and my PD. I wonder if they update later with fingerprint dates and interview dates.

Please help ..

I think you should not worry about that. This feature is probably not functional. My status online @ the ins web site shows only that they have received my application. It's not updated - i did the FP and now waiting for interview letter.

If you browse the postings, you will see that varies widely: from two weeks to few months. I don't remember the actual date, but approximately two months.
