I don't see the original spec as being set in stone like the Constitution as I think it should evolve to suit the average member (We the people)

I would ask whether the average member was even consulted before the 'standard' was set ?

If the majority of members see 2 lines instead of one, then I think it should be formatted for the average member and not just those who decided the format to suit their own screen resolution

I repeat that 1024x768 is a standard web design screen resolution - so if it can't be seen clearly using that resolution, then it does need to be changed for the benefit of the majority or the average user

Alan, the font settings may not be set in stone, but Z has taken way too much liberty in unilaterally changing the font, deleting instructions, and adding a eNOA heading without any discussions what so ever. He just goes ahead and makes these changes as if the list is for his personal use only. This template we use is a standard that's been used for years. Specifically, it is the FIXED WIDTH FONT (Courier New Font) that is critical for proper display. In my 4 years here and throughout all the processes, we've always used FIXED WIDTH FONT. Everyone has always complied with the instructions. Z has been the only person I've seen who so rudely and unilaterally takes it upon himself to change the standardized template to suit his own desires. His actions are so rude and ridiculous.

He continues to insist that I'm setting the standard. I am only following the standard that has been widely used on this website for years. Look at post #1 of this thread. It was NOT my post. It's a standard template that every month uses. I will continue to change Z's unilateral alterations in this thread. His behavior is completely unacceptable.

Always use Courier New font @ size 2

I hear what you're saying, but it just seems like acquiescing to the big bully. Each time another acquiesces, USCIS thinks its even more justified to do whatever they wish.

MauiBec you are right to be worried - you need to call em and ask. Everyone else's timelines show the situation. You are too overdue.

Hello All

I may just be panicking a little. I had my Biometrics on September 24 but have not heard anything new yet. From looking at other peoples' timelines, it seems like there may be a gap of about a month or so between the Biometrics and receiving the interview notice. I just wanted to see if anyone else was experiencing the same thing.

Thanks!

Shreya

That's about what we experienced. It's not a perfect science because it really depends how backed up the local office is (or how backed up they AREN'T, as the case may be).

Huge variations - but If I was a month later at any stage than the next slowest person in our database above, I would be giving them a call. 90% chance the reception robot will say wait 6 months first; but sometimes we get a sensible one.

I can't study any more for my Monday interview - I am bored sick of it. Nice of them to slot it in before the elections on November 2 so I don't have to remember new Senator names etc.

By the way, I have been watching UK ceremonies on line and reading their new regulations.

The ceremonies are even more tongue down throat and the hurdles to get citizenship are much tougher from next year.

A year's community service first ? jeez picking up dog muck in the park ? Gimme the USCIS despite all their faults

Meh, Derek still hasn't received his interview letter although a few days ago he did get a letter telling him to make sure and bring ID to the interview whenever it was scheduled. It was very specific that it was NOT an interview letter, lol. The DC district office says that they are currently processing from March 3, 2010 so I am figuring we won't hear anything for a bit longer. I am not going to worry about it until at least November.

In the meantime, good luck, Alan!

Agree with Derekkj. Timeline tracking is great but it can also make you paranoid sometimes when there may well be no reason to be paranoid. Esp. with something like variations from local office to local office. I think there's probably less discrepancies when talking about service centers - but local offices seem more all over the place to me. But, if there was a way to contact the local office and get a response, I don't think that'd hurt either.

This will be especially true when it comes to the oath ceremony. I've been looking over the timelines for past months and some people were offered the oath the same day as their interview and others waited over 4 months before they took their oath. The oath ceremony is where I suspect we'll see the most divergence for all of us.

Absolutely. I have suspected from the moment I took the lead in the August filers, that the ceremony would be the stumbling block and in the words of Bob Dylan - " He who is first will later be last"

It's a bummer that there is no way to know the ceremony schedule because I bet it is fairly regular for any given local office. However, I know that Yakima saves em up and has em on the 4th July etc at various counties around Central Washington.

One thing that has emerged is the number of people who come out of their interview with a really fuzzy idea about whether they are approved or even if they passed the tests. I have decided to sit there and ask questions about the ceremony schedule etc and badger them for the results form and so on. They will have to throw me out of there because I will be pumping them for info. I know that people are usually so relieved to have got past their questions that they just want to leave and celebrate, but given how hard it is to contact the USCIS Local Offices without an info pass, I am going to try and think of every possible question before I leave. That needs a cool, head and fast thinking because what is said at the end of the interview varies a lot - so I will need to psych myself DOWN not UP and keep a methodical attitude. I want to walk out with as few unknowns as possible.

Information is the currency of power as it used to say on my desk calender
