Congratulations and thanks for reporting. Things have been pretty quiet in this San Jose thread, which I guess it is due to things going smoothly.
 
Good luck to everyone applying now. I hope you have a smooth sailing. At least smoother than when USCIS increased fees last time.
 
Still waiting!!!

I had my interview on 11/7/08 and have not heard anything since then. I got a "recommended for review" decision at the end of the interview. This was probably due to my one trip that was longer than 6 months. I did have enogh prof of my ties to the US and also proof of the reason for being abroad (education).

I had two InfoPass appointments, one in January and the other in February to follow-up. During my first InfoPass, the officer at the window was nice and asked me to write a letter to the supervisor and she would personally deliver it. She also informed me that my file was last accessed on 12/31/08. I heard nothing so I went to another info pass last week where I was told that my case is still pending review. It's been over 3 months!

I am really hoping my case does not turn into a nightmare!

PD: ~4/20/08
FP: ~5/15/08
IL: ~10/10/08
ID: 11/7/08
InfoPass: 1/6/09
InfoPass: 2/10/09
Oath:??????
 
does anyone in here who got an interview on 2/5/09 received the oath letter yet? I'm still waiting for mine, and it's getting scary that I could miss the oath day on March 19...

Sent my N-400

good to see some of the old timers back, after 5 years.

My N-400 has been received by USCIS today. Lets see how long it takes. Hope it does not take 6 years to become a citizen, as it did to become a permanent resident.

don't worry about it.
 
after all the hopeless waiting, I decided to make go to an infopass appt to ask for my oath day. The officer told me my oath is scheduled on april 23, and I should receive the letter soon. Hope it's true....=]

I got my oath letter today, and it was completely unexpected since it has been less than a week since the interview...
 
I have some questions:
- What is the priority date?
- After you receive the FP letter, and you go there ahead of your appointment time? If you choose to do that, do you need to call them to make appointment first, or just show up?

Thanks,

Priority date is the date your application was acknowledged by USCIS. It is usually same as the receipt date.

Don't know about now. But about 3 years ago when I went through the citizenship process, there was no need to call in advance to get the finger printing done early. One could simply walk in. However, whether or not you would be entertained for an early FP was also dependent on how crowded the service center was on the given day.

Congratulations! :) My "envy" at how fast application processing is going now in San Jose is only tempered by the fact that I'm glad for everyone applying now and for already having my own citizenship ;)

In my case I applied around the same time of year as you and got my oath in August. Anyway, that's water under the bridge, as they say. Enjoy!
