I heard that the service center holds the N-400 application till FP & namecheck is complete before scheduling Interviews and sending the application to DO.
I am little confused with this process and hoping someone here can shed some light
I called USCIS(1-800 customer service) last week to check my N-400 status. (see my timeline below) ,they told me that my FP & Name check was cleared sometime in Jan'08 and they tried to schedule an Interview around January end, but since there was no opening at the DO they have put my application in the queue and are still waiting.
What I fail to understand is did they mean that DO has temporarily stopped processing N-400 application and the service center is waiting for DO to resume N-400 processing? If not why could'nt they just schedule an appointment at the next available date or is it something like the interview appointment window are usually for specific time period (Ex 3 months, 6 months etc)?
Anyone knows what the actual process is?
