I would say anticipate up to a month or six weeks...but for some it has been sooner. Ours was about 6 weeks.

Ok...I need your input....
I was getting ready to mail everything off tomorrow. However, I am going to Germany in 4 weeks and am going to stay there for 2 weeks. This could be a conflict with my biometrics appt. Should I wait another week or two before I mail off my application?

Well, I will be traveling back to Colombia at the end of June and I sent the papers anyway. I don't think they will get the Biometrics letter a few days before the actual appointment, but I could be wrong.

I am joining the May group too! I just sent off the package today. I wonder if we are going to be done by the end of the year??? blink.gif
I am with the Vermont Service Center.

I have mine ready to go but I am thinking to wait to get the tax transcripts. It will take 10-15 days to get it.


What you think, is it worth waiting? We don't have mortgage and the house is on husband’s name( Texas law, we didn’t have any options and it cannot be changed. My name was on the deed. ) We have joint accounts. unsure.gif

BostonChick
I didn't wait to obtain the 2007 tax transcripts (anyways, can you do that so early in the tex season?!). I submitted tax transcripts for 2004, 2005 and 2006, and a copy of the 2007 tax payment check. It has both of our names on the check.

I would suggest mailing your application, and getting the process started. IF you are unable to make your scheduled biometrics appointment, you can do a "walk-in" on any Wednesday (with your letter) after your set appointment date. You MAY be able to a walk-in on any other day - at the officer's discresion - that means, you turn up, with letter in hand, and, if they are quiet at the time, they may agree to allow you to have yours done - if they are busy, they can choose to say no - but, on a Wednesday they must let you do them.

I found out this info when my biometrics appointment letter never made it to my mailbox, and I missed my appointment by being unaware it was scheduled.

That said, personally I wouldn't like to leave the biometrics much more than a few weeks after the scheduled appointment date - I don't know if there is a "cut-off" period after which it can't be done - I couldn't get a clear answer on that - mine was delayed by about 27 days.

HTH - and, enjoy your trip!

I just mailed my application yesterday to California.

I say November/Dec/Jan That is where we are going to fall based on how things are going right now. Some people are taking six months after applying in Dec/Jan so I am optimistic. USCIS should be updatigng processing times around the 15th of the month. So It will interesting to see how far they jump. https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp
Ofcourse their processing times are more like a worst case scenario so I review them very loosely.

I got my NOA today kicking.gif
Below is my time line.

My N-400 package arrived last Friday (May 8), but my check hasn't been cahed yet! I am starting to worry a little... I realized I made the check payable to *Department of Homeland Security", forgetting to add *US*. Do you think they can return an application just for that omission?

No need to worry they will cash it, It may take a little over a week but they need the money, keep us updated.

Don't worry, Vermont took forever to cash my check, too (see my sig below) but the pace has picked up since then.

Good luck!

Just received my NOA1 and says interview within 450 days.... I know everyone has different days in NOA.... Is it really that long it takes ? or its just random days.....

Still waiting for Biometrics NOA.....
BostonChick
Hey guys, just thought I'd let you know my check was successfully cashed. It took 8 calendar days after the package got there. jest.gif
This is for VSC.

When I got home from work I found hubby's 10 yr green card in the mail!! whoo-hooo!!! And... a 'receipt with exception' for the N-400, it states our app was received and is in process but is missing some evidence (I can't believe it!!! I printed out the check list of what to send and we sent it all!) that we will need to bring with us at the time of his interview. They will send us another notice of what to bring to the interview, don't send anything by mail. Fine. The notice also stated to expect to be notified within 240 days of this notice. We also received an NOA for his biometrics, he goes May 30th at 10:00 am. So here we go again.... let's see this makes at least 3, maybe 4 times we've gone for fingerprinting in the last 4 1/2 years....

Should we make a list here for may filers?
laura19angel
Yay! It would be great if there was a "May Filer" list. I would do it but I'm not that computer savvy!! I just sent in my N400 today and so the wait begins!!! kicking.gif

Please add your information.

If you cannot update the list, reply to the last version and I will update.

What else should we have on the list?

Now somebody correct me if I am wrong, but I think you have to look for the processing times at your local field office. In my case that would be Atlanta even though I sent my application to the TSC.
