when I expect the yellow letter?

[jenny2014wu 7]

I have early bio on 7/11, the real day is 7/22, I got inline on 7/24.

do you think they will mail the yellow later after inline ? how long it takes normally to get yellow letter?

In our case, my wife had her biometrics appointment on 20 Jun and got the "inline" yellow letter dated 14 Jul.

There's also a school of thought that the whole thing is tied to your green card anniversary. In my wife's case, her original green card was issued on 19 Aug 11, so 19 Aug 14 would be her three-year anniversary. The current thinking is that you'll get your appointment or inline letter about a month before your three-year anniversary, and your appointment will be scheduled for about a month *after* your three-year anniversary. So we've been assuming her interview will be around the middle of September.

Be sure and look at the U.S. Citizenship forum, especially any posts that say "N-400, Mmm YY Filers". Find the month that you filed your paperwork, and you can see what others have reported as their dates. That may help you figure out how soon you should see your own paperwork.

thanks, my green card date is 8/13/2011. I got my inline status on July24. two days after the real bio although I had early walk in on 7/11.

so I expect a interview on 9/13/2013 then. 1 month after the gc anniversary.

It is not guaranteed that you will receive the "Yellow Letter;" indeed, many applicants never do. Further, those who do can receive it at any time during their application process. There really seems to be no pattern regarding the timing of the receipt of this document.

Good luck!

I never got the yellow letter

Its been 2 weeks and I never received a letter that says im in line for interview, only online status.

I just received the FAMOUS yellow letter!!! So we can be sure that Charlotte office do send them!!! Note that I did not receive a text for this, it just arrived in the mail.

jenny2014wu: since you are with the Charlotte office, I'd say you will receive the letter around 08/24 and your interview would be around 09/24. This is just my observation.

You don't get a letter when you are placed in line for interview, only when they actually schedule your interview.

People whose applications are going through the same office may or may not get yellow letters.

There are even cases where members of the same family who applied on the same day, through the same office, and ended up being interviewed on the same day, but one of them got a yellow letter and the other didn't.

In short, don't worry about it if you don't get one. Just wait for your interview letter.
