Hi All,
My time line is as under.

N400 mailed date: 12/12/2006
Priority Date: 12/18/2006
FP Date: 01/03/2007

I have not received IL yet. Lately I have invested in some properties in India. So there have been some money transfers etc. One of my friends was saying that USCIS tracks all these monetary activities, and assumes that finally I want to move back to India and so it may deny my citizenship. Do you guys think this could be possible? He also says that USCIS tracks our online activities for security check. I am not sure how true this is but I am feeling very uncomfortable browsing internet, and sending personal emails. Anyone out there agreeing with him.
Thanks,
BR2006.
 
I'm afraid of answering your question, in case someone is monitoring ;) Honestly, one has to assume that everything sent on the Internet is being monitored by someone or something (a computer). That said, I don't think the activity you mention should lead to a denial or delay on your application.
 
Well (to me):
  1. What delay? Your priority date is only 2 months and 4 days ago. Don't forget that the USCIS target is 6 months (not sure if that is PD to interview or PD to oath, but the former wouldn't surprise me)
  2. Lot's of things can delay you:
    • Name check
    • File routing
    • Sunspots (i.e., this is the USCIS, anything can happen)
  3. But, no, I'd be willing to bet that the USCIS does not track money transfers - that's the job of the Treasury department (I think it is them). Now, if you are doing enough, and they are hitting the $10k "must be reported" limit, then the Treasury may notice, and that's something that the FBI might pick up. At that point, you'd need to worry about money laundering accusations, not about your intent to remain in the US.
Sit back, relax, open your USPS mail every day and enjoy the wait
 
10k?

What is this 10k limit? Please shed some light.

If you cross a US border (in or out) with $10k or more in your pocket (in "negotiable instruments") you must declare it.

If you cause $10k or more to cross a border, then the financial institution must declare it

If you do a cash transaction of $10k or more then...
