Online status is waste of time. They never change status. I called many time to Service Center and always tells me to wait for 7 months. I know many guys from Vermont Service Center got their IL. My NOA1 says "You should expect to be notified within 540 days of this notice."

I hope we will get it soon too. It is almost 2 months now from my finger prints.



I hear 'ya. Buffalo NY has slowed down considerably and we are playing the waiting game also

I do not want you to be panic, but some one from buffalo already got IL.

Got my biometrics done 06/20 and still waiting. Here is what frustrates me:

1) I didn't get NOA1, just biometrics.
2) In the back of my check a different number is written that the one on my biometrics letter
3) I cannot check my status online with the number on my biometrics letter, the other number shows some application filed in February. I am a May filer.
4) Ever time I call the service center, I am told something else. Its like I am teased.
First I was told that my case is in a local office and that everything is fine. That it is ok not to get a NOA1.

Then I called again a few weeks later, I was told that my case is still at TSC and that it is still pending with FBI. I asked why I was told something else before. The officer told me that I should not listen to my friends. I tried to explain, useless. He kept yelling that no one ever gets fingerprint answer faster that in 90 days.

I am in the same boat. Finished finger print on 24th June and still did not receive interview letter. (Garden City, New York)
Many lucky guys got letter in one month or around after finger prints.

I applied after 5 years, is it make difference if you file after 3 year or 5 year? blink.gif

Oh! That mean if someone lost interview letter in mail or bla bla, then there is no way to find out about case.

Why the hell USCIS created online status check. Even if you call to customer service they only know what website have.

Question about online status check: innocent.gif

Those folks who already got interview notice, Do you get online status change?

I am waiting for my interview letter and wonder that USCIS change status when interview scheduled.

I completed my finger print on June 24th, but online status never updated.

Thank you for any answer!

Hey! I applied for Naturalization w/ Form N-400 around May 17. I received my first NOA on June 11 saying that they had cashed the $675 dollars check and that within the next 540!!! days, yes! Five Hundred and Forty Five Days I would receive my appointment.
I don't know if that's a typo mistake or what!!!! I hope they'll call sooner! I want to vote!
Good luck to you all,

Cuca


I also applied to Vermount service center and my NOA says same 540 days. I recived NOA on 9th June. Any one from Vermont service center got his fingerprint letter who has 540 days in NOA?

Please answer guys? Thank you.

Here's some info for us recent filers:

U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced today it has centralized initial processing of all applications for naturalization (Form-400) at its National Benefits Center in Missouri

http://www.uscis.gov...n400_060508.pdf


Cax&JL, my appl. number was written on my check. Need to add WSC*00 to make a 13-digit number. If you are trying to check your status online and it doesn't work, don't panic, many people don't get their number to work and they go through their process just fine.


I just tried the number on the back of my check and it didn't work. But on mine, it doesn't look like "WSC", it looks like "ESC". I am at VSC, is that normal?


Yup, for Vermont service center receipt number will start with ESC follows by *.
You can see this on the front side of check. After ESC*, try to add 002 to complete 13 digit. Hope will work for you.

Hi,

I filed my application 30th May 2008 to Vermont Service Center. Which is 90 days before green card 5 years complition. They cashed check on 4th June 2008. Still waiting for notice.

I have one question for early filing. I appliled 90 days before, will they start processing now or will wait till my 5 years complete? Will get finger print stuff soon or after 3 months?

Thanks for any help.
