My husband is waiting for a NYC interview/oath. We just got a notification today telling us more information may be requested, and to bring his current and expired passports and IDs to the interview, but no interview date. Did anyone else get this? Is this what's referred to as 'inline'?

Ah he just told me it was yellow (I haven't seen it yet as it just arrived today), so thank you! I just checked and we're in line as of 7/7. Thank you!

Hi Gap 1,

The yellow paper is called a pre-interview letter. They state that it is sent in lieu of an RFE so as not to delay up the process. I got one as well and what they requested were not in the N-400 instructions for me to send in with my application, so I guess it is just a reminder regarding what we are to ensure that we take to the interview. For me, it was my drivers/state ID and all my passports. You are lucky to have been placed in line this month and get a yellow paper already. My 90 day period since my status changed to "in line for scheduling" ends on August 12. Hope to get an interview update soon :clock::clock::clock::clock: . NYC is not as fast as some states.

Thanks! I'm sorry, I don't quite understand what you mean. You're saying that it's typically 30 days from the 'yellow paper' to the interview letter or the interview date? We are actually not in a hurry as we stupidly forgot we booked a trip to Canada at the end of August when we decided to file in May. D'oh! Now we're just hoping his oath ceremony isn't before Aug 30th, which I very much doubt, otherwise we'll be trying to frantically expedite a passport 24 hours before leaving the country!

I'm quite happy with NYC taking their time. We are in Brooklyn, 11217.....so what does that mean?
