Mailed N400: Middle of December, 2007

I filed at NSC, I wonder anyone filed around my timeframe?? Any prediction as to when my interview will be?

Your individual timeline depends on your Local Office, you can find answers if you follow links in this FAQ: http://www.visajourney.com/forums/index.ph...t&p=1658899

Thanks for your respond~

I called CIS today and talked to an immigration officer, she said my case would take about 6 months to process, when I asked her if my name has cleared in FBI, she said she doesn't know, and that because of the "privacy act", it doesn't show on the computer, or something like that... she said call back if i don't get any letters after 6 months... so it's not helping a lot... i sure have asked if she's sure it'll only take 6 months VS the 14-16 months showed on the official site... so how can i find out if i have pass the background check???

if it was first person to answer phone - it's not officer, she has same info as we see online, and they give generic answers.

to speak to officer - guaranteed way - is to make INFOPASS, but don't make it untill other people with PD after yours start getting interview letters.

nobody will guarantee you any date, the only set promise can be your NOA1 - how many days does it say?

I think the person I talked to on the phone was an IO, becuz I had to wait for about 15 mins to connect to one... and I believe she said she was an IO.

My NOA1 said 180 days...

Do you know how you find out whether your name check has been cleared at FBI??? After I got fingerprinted, the next time I will hear from them is a letter to the interview? is that it? or do they send some other notices in between fingerprint and interview time???

I'm waiting to get my citizenship so that I could travel to another country for more than 6 months... that's why I'm so rush to get it, or else I wouldn't care... Is there any way to find out the status besides all they say is "in process", could they give me more solid answers, eg. next step is background check, your file has sent to DO, etc... that'd help more.

1) add 180 days to date of NOA letter - and you theoretically can start complaining to USCIS then

2) there used to be a way to call FBI, but they dont take calls anymore, but you better not bug FBI unless you know that people with PD later then yours are getting interview letters from your local office

3) yes after fingerprints you wait for interview letter

4) the only guaranteed way - is INFOPASS as i said, you can make them as many as you want, but it only makes sense to worry if your PD is coming up in your local office, until then it will be just waiting in line like everybody else.

Thank you so much for your respond and help! I called FBI today and check on the status on my fingerprint, they just said my fingerprints was sent to them on 1/26/08 (date that I took FP), and they have sent it back to INS... that's all they could tell me when I asked "does that mean my FP was good?"

I made an infopass appt on 4/11/08, so I'll see if I could get more info...

It sucks that I can't check the status of my name/background check...

I'm new to this site, I think I added my timeline, not sure if it's gonna show up.

I have reached the end of the tunnel finally. I had my oath ceremony in Pittsburgh today. One advice for anybody taking oath in court in Pittsburgh. Go at least an hour and a half early. You'll spend that hour looking for parking since all the garages are full, and you will have to park--if you find one- and walk 15-20 mins back to the courthouse.

The ceremony was a very pleasant experience. It was scheduled for 9am. They checked us in, and we signed our certificates of naturalization. At 10am. the Assistant U.S. attorney recommended us for naturalization and we were sworn in. We then listened to a couple of speeches from different organizations, took the oath of allegiance, and we were presented with the certificates. We were then invited to the reception at a nearby hotel. I chose not to go, but rather went downstairs, and purchased certified copies of the name change decree, and went to have our own celebration.

Goodbye USCIS. I'm not looking forward to seeing you again
