San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline

N400 Timeline so far...

Oh, I wish I had found this forum earlier! I didn't know you could show up early for fingerprinting.

@ GoodSaint: Our timings are nearly identical. When was your fingerprint appointment scheduled? I wonder how much faster your application will be processed, since you had your fingerprints taken earlier.

I'm so glad San Jose seems to finally be processing naturalization applications in a timely manner. Congratulations for your successful interview.
 
Looks like San Jose is moving fast.

Great! Looks like San Jose is steaming ahead. Getting an interview in 3 months from the time of application is pretty fast. Hopefully most of the applications move fast.

I plan to apply next week.
 
I mentioned all traffic citations in my app. In the last column I wrote "fine less than $500" and did not supply any other documentation. Actually I did not know dates or even years.. so I wrote "1998-99." And yes, a traffic ticket is a "citation."

I am in the process of filing N-400 form and need some information. I got a speeding ticket and I paid the $150 fine.
my question is Part 10
Have you ever been arrested, cited, detained or charged?

Is it necessary to mention that I got a speeding ticket? Does that come under citation?

I plan to apply for Citizenship on 27April09

My FP was done on April 3rd or 4th. Judging from the experience of other recent filers, I expect to get the interview letter in 3-4 weeks from now.
My PD is March 18, but the FP notice was received earlier than you. I didn't bother to check the schedule; the next day was Saturday... I just walked in and had it done.

My wife and me have N400 notice date as 02/04/2009. She got FP notice in two weeks and did FP last week. I'm still didn't get FP notice.

Should I be worried?


I am also in similar situation, applied on 2/28/09, got FP both notices on 3/16/09, we did walk-in FP on 3/20. My wife got interview notice on 04/09 for 06/10/09 but I didn't get mine, is this normal? pls let me know.
 
IL Recd

Got my IL today
scheduled for 6/17 (Wed)...

Does San Jose (campbell) allows sameday Oath ?
 
Can we try attending Interview a little earlier

Hi,

My scheduled interview date for my citizenship is on June 16th, 2009. I wanted to see if anyone tried going a little earlier. I mean like finger prints, where we sometimes try walk-in and can be done, did anyone try to do a walk-in for interview too.

I will not be in town during the June 16th time frame, so I am trying to understand if I have to apply for an extension or simply try a walk-in and see if that works out. I have to go to the San Jose office in California.

Would appreciate if you can share your experiences.
 
You can't walk-in for an interview. They need to have your file ready when you arrive. You will need to re-schedule.
 
Update:-

I'm happy with my process-time
