San Jose, CA - N-400 Timeline

Has anybody got an oath letter lately? I'm just curious as I have seen a lot of posts about interview appointments and fingerprints but don't recall many or any about recent oath ceremonies or letters.
 
Is my application lost?

05/29/2009 : Mailed by Fdeex
06/01/2009 : Delivered
06/17/2009 : nothing happen.. no check cashed, no notice .. no nothing.

Base on the timeline most people provided here, all their check got cashed in 10 days after delivery and get noitce in 14 days. I am afraid that my application maybe somehow get lost.

The FEDEX shows the package was signed by "G.Graves".
Does anyone here happen to have package sign by the same person?

Is there any place I can check for the status? (But I think it would be difficult, since I didn't even get the case number).

Any other suggestion? Should I send out another application form?

Thanks for any advice.
 
I would wait a bit longer. Perpaps there was something wrong with the application (you forgot to sign) and it got sent back.

Hi, I also sent my Application thru FEDEX on 05/28/09. Same person "G Graves" signed as the receiver. My application was delivered to Arizona on 05/29/09. Just be patient.... You might wanna download and print the signature of the receiving person just in case it got lost. Best wishes!!!!

Finally, I am finished with my FINGERPRINT. I walked in today at Salinas, CA USCIS Application Center. No questions asked-- The security guard just matched my Alien Card and the Fingerprint Notice. It took me less than 10 minutes to do it...... Yey!!!!

Thank you... So glad to hear that your package was signed by the same person as mine. I was afraid that Fedex sent mine to the wrong place.

BTW, have you received any thing from USCIS yet?

I also posted my problem on the other thread. So far, there are two other users response that they sent their applications in the similar time frame and not receive any thing since package got delivered.

Yes, I did my Fingerprinting today (walk-in)... My fingerprint schedule is June 25 12:00 noon at USCIS Support Center (Salinas CA). I will be waiting for my interview letter....
 
LMAO - Beat this... dumb me...

How dumb can one be? Beat me... :)

I went in for the early FP, the place was full (10AM) and the security guard checked the papers and said my date is next month and I said "let me go ahead" and he asked for my GC. I said "I do not have it on me can you let me move ahead with my driving license." He said go ahead. (may be he knew they would send me back) But still I went ahead and I was sent back as I did not have my GC on me. And the officer there said..btw your scheduled date is in July. Not been there since then.

I am contemplating if there is any advantage of early printing. I have checked most of the responses here, except for one response all the people who have gone for early FP or NOT the timeline has been almost the same. FP Schedule date to IL around 4-5 weeks and IL to Interview date, 4-5 weeks. Any advice guys?

Only problem I have is I drive across the USCIS office every day anywhere between 2-4 times and work less than 0.25 miles from there. Cannot resist not going in, they wont give me a job as I am not a citizen yet ;)

traffic ticket

I've said yes for the traffic citation question as I had one such citation in 2000 and in the explanation section I indicated it is a traffic citation and I paid the fine. I got the case file review notice. It says "You indicated in your application that you have been arrested. For these arrests and any other incidents in which you may have been involved, bring originals or certified copies of all arrest records and court dispositions showing how each incident was resolved."

I have no idea what should bring to the interview regarding this now and how do I collect that. I got the driver's license record from California DMV. Would that be enough?
 
Find the Recorder's Court for the place where you got your tickets. Go there, provide them with your name, date of traffic incident and ask for certified court disposition of your ticket.

No worries, you have enough time to think and find out what you need to take it and what you don't need, you can google/search this things. USCIS's own instruction say you do not need to provide documnetation for traffic violation if the fine is below $ 500 and not alcolol-drug related.

You should try to get court documents. If courts are within driving
limits, go to court and get documents. Otherwise call the court and court
clerk should locate your case and ask for proceddure how to get disposition
docs.

But If cannot get docs, go ahead. Most likely USCIS will not insist upon
seeing it. Their instruction document even say so

Status Update

Did my FP on 6/18, scheduled date was 6/19. I tried getting FP done 2 weeks ago and they refused to let me do FP. How long does it take to get interview letter from FP date?

See other members time-line, then you'll have a picture on when you'll recieve your IL.
 
Between 4-5 weeks from the FP Letter Date

I have been tracking the comments on the forum and my guestimate is that it would take 4-5 weeks from the FP notice/letter date. (not actual FP date)
 
Yes it is good to have the DMV record and any records you may have about paying the fines. I had the same situation and in my interview, the officer just asked me if I got only traffic citations. When I said yes, he circled the word "Cited" in the N-400 application and then moved on.
