Dear All,

I have been reading posts here for the past couple of days and can't find any stories from those filing from New York City. Does anyone have recent experience dealing with Federal Plaza or Garden City? How fast have they been lately? How long is it currently taking to complete the N400 process for someone living in New York City?

I found this information here: http://britishexpats.com/forum/showthread.php?t=517983

Re: naturalization timeline in NYC in 2008

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Update on my side!
I got my interview letter!!!! It's for June 3rd. Exactly 90 days after I mailed my application.

N400 mailed 03/03/08
Received 03/04/08
Checks cashed 03/06/08
NOA 03/15/08
FP 03/24/08
Interview 06/03/2008
Oath XX/XX/XX

IS IT REALLY possible??? Can anyone confirm this? I thought it was taking at least some 8 months to complete this process in NYC.

Thanks!

Andy

Hi curiousman,

I really don't know what to believe anymore, different people saying different timetable. All I can say is this, below my timeline.......still waitting for interview letter....applied from Queens, NY

Dear david71,

thanks for your reply! I personally find it very frustrating that USCIS can’t provide the correct information on the current processing times. Their useless website says NYC is currently processing cases received before July 2007 which does not make any sense as I have seen numerous posts online by people who filed in Nov/Dec 2007 – Jan/Feb/Mar 2008 and their N400 journey is now complete! I don’t really understand what is going on….

Are there any other NYC filers here??? Let's track the NYC office together!

hi im from nyc and a nov2007 filer from vermont DO is nyc. no IL yet still waiting and waiting..what do u have to say about that?

Hi flavaofsummer,

wow! It is 8 months already! Honestly, I do not understand how some people manage to complete this process in NY within 3 - 4 months, and other need to wait 7 - 8 months or even longer! They say they process applications in the order in which they are received, but I think it is highly questionable! I wish they were more organised...

Is there anyone else with N400 pending in NYC?

Andy

no this forum is somewhat no help when it comes to nyc they r clueless cuz they r not from nyc..only we can help eachother buddy boiii! did you try calling the IO? what did they tell you? not that what they tell you will help in anyway unless its the interview date aside that whatever they tell you is just another story from their side,,each IO has a diff story,.

It is amazing, I would have never thought there were only two people filing from NYC! I thought the NYC office was one of the busiest local offices in the country. So, where are all those filers? Are they not readaing this message board???
