I was expecting my interview letter to arrive almost 2 weeks ago...when will it arrive? :crying:

This is shocking - it's been 7 weeks since they received your application, and you don't have an interview date yet! You should be up in arms, this is longer than I have ever heard of, call your senators office immediately & complain.

N400 at California SC, Field office- Los Angeles

Sep 3, 2007 Application Mailed

Sep 12, 2007 - Priority date

Nov 9,2007 - check cashed

Nov 20,2007 - NOA1: "expect to be notified within 425 days of this notice",

Jan 10, 2008 - fingerprints appointment (letter lost due to mailing address receipted incorrectly)

Feb 7, 2008 - fingerprints done (took about 10 min - as a walk-in)

Sept 8, 2008 - Interview date (letter received Jul 18) - rescheduled at my request

Jan 6, 2009 - Interview date

Hi,

i mailed my application on 2/26 to the texas lockbox and i have not even had the FP appointment yet...

I am even more frustrated than you.....

I called they said the date has been requested and if i don't receive the notice within 30 days i should call back then....

so if I have to wait for an FP appointment for 2 months what about the interview and the oath....

People that applied after me already had thei FP appointments.....

Fingerprints are valid for 15 months so if you took them for I-751 it is perfectly normal that they don't give you an appointment for that. When the 15 months are up, expect one, unless you already became a citizen.

WHEN I CALLED THE SERVICE SENTER I ASKED THEM IF IT IS REALLY TRUE THAT FINGERPRINTS ARE VALID FOR 15 MONTHS AND THEY SAID NO. THE Y SAID WITH EVERY NEW APPLICATION NEW FP APPOINTMENTS ARE NEEDED....

I AM A LITTLE FRUSTRATED. I AM STILL PATIENT.
