Hi guys,

 

I had my N400 interview today for US Citizenship application.  Everything was fine, I passed all the tests. The only problem was that the IO agent could not locate my fingerprints in their database. I showed my the biometric appointment with stamp on it on last August.  He said, yeah I know you did it - I have that too but I just couldn't locate it here in the system.  So he said because of that I cannot recommend you for approval today and schedule you for the oath ceremony (apparently if I was recommended for approval, there's an oath ceremony this Friday ...). 

He said usually it'll take 2-3 days for the missing fingerprint to be resolved and they're not that busy (oath ceremony wise) so I should hear soon.  

He was very nice, he told me that he would personally look into this matter and he gave me his phone number and to call me in 3-4 weeks if I don't receive oath ceremony letter yet. 

Anyways, so I am bummed. But nothing I could have done differently I guess. So I left with this piece of paper saying that I passed all the tests but a decision cannot be made at this time :(...

 

Questions: has anyone ever experienced this? missing fingerprints in the database? it's only been 8 months (!!!) ha  since they took mine?

 

Thoughts?

bummer. i got delayed for other reasons, but did encounter twice the gathering of fingerprints when i was scheduled. The IO or agent, took 15 minutes to get my fingerprints correctly :angry:. It is possible they loose them in the system. I saw this happen when i applied for Global entry and the guy next to me had his fingerprints taken, but they seemed not to be there on interview date for GE
