September 2009 n-400 fillers

You mentioned that your wife left for India on 09/10 and you have sent N400 on 09/17. Did you put date on N400 application on or before 09/10 or after 09/17. I am not sure but if you have put date on application as after 09/10 when your wife was not in US, I think it may be a problem. I am not legal expert but it could be a problem if that is the case. I hope you have put actual date when she was in US.



Forms have date of 09/03 as we made forms on 09/03/2009 and she left on 09/10/2009. Mailed form on 09/17/2009. This trip of hers is not on form as she leftafter we made forms. Same is with me I am going on 30th and is not mentioned on forms..If I dont received receipt no by 30th how would I track my status about FP scheduling. 800 telephone no are not accessible from India too. I have no one near me who can open th emails and check.. please advice

If you see time line of various people, you will find that most people get NOA after one to two weeks of receipt of application. In my case I received NOA 9 days after receipt of appl. Since your application is received on 09/21, you may get NOA before your planned trip on 09/30. I do not think there is any way of follow up with USCIS till the time you have Case number and NOA notice. If your check is cashed and you do not get NOA then also they allow you to follow up only after 30 days.

Regarding your FP, once u get FP appointment and you can not make on that day, I think USCIS give some time (2-3 weeks) when you can walk in for FP. At least that is what I saw on my 485 FP appointment notice. Not sure if it is different for N400 or not.

By the way if you had applications ready on 09/03, why you did not send those till 09/17 ??
 
I sent the N-400 application to Lewisville, TX for my spouse and myself. Per UPS tracking info, it was received on 9/15.
Its been 7 days, and my check has not been cashed.

Is there anyway i can find out the status ? Just want to make sure they have not misplaced the applications.

Thanks

any update on your filing?

I looked at image of check from bank's web site and could not figure out LIN number. There are many numbers written on back of check but none of them follow 10+3 pattern of LIN number. Any idea how to figure out LIN number??

Any update to your status? Have you gotten FP notice yet?

Thanks for sharing.
 
The status of my case changed to RFE on 9/22. I am assuming it is for the fingerprint. How long does it usually take to get the notice by mail after the the status changes at the USCIS site?

I have had issues with my mail delivery before through USPS. The mail person either randomly eats up some of the mails or delivers it to some other house in the neighborhood (and they discard it as trash). Complaints have been to no avail. So, basically, how long do I wait before making a call to USCIS about the fingerprint notice?

And, will they reissue a notice if requested?

Thanks.

Once you have NOA, your case number is there on this document. Why do you want to look at check for case number now. :confused::confused: I have got FP notice today and it is for 10/13. The FP notice also says that if I can not go on scheduled date I can do walk-in FP on any wednesday after 2:00 PM before 12/01/09. That means it gives you over 1 month of time after scheduled FP. I am not sure whether this is general criteria of USCIS or it differs from one DO to another. If you are coming back on 19th Oct, I think you should be fine. Enjoy your trip now:D:D

Thanks johntlc. I saw that you are from DO: Wichita, KS. I am from DO: Kansas City. I have not seen many people in the forum who are from DOs in KS. Not sure why? Good luck to you also.
