Immigration Forum / USA Marriage Base / September 2006Information from the 1-800 misinformation line
I had heard of many people having interviews for their N-400 before their FBI background check had been approved. I tried something else today as suggested by the 1-800 misinformation line person. I wrote to the district office manager (Registered return receipt mail) asking about when an interview date may be scheduled for me. The misinformation person told me that it is not uncommon for applicants to be interviewed before their FBI check has been approved, so we'll see! Maybe the misinformation person's advice may be correct for once. > I had heard of many people having interviews for their N-400 before > their FBI background check had been approved.

Good on the writing thing! I did same and also wrote the district manager for my area office - I actually Fed Ex'd mine. My query was somewhat of a different one but, nevertheless, I got response. Hope you get one too. > Good on the writing thing! > > I did same and also wrote the district manager for my area office - I > actually Fed Ex'd mine. My query was somewhat of a different one but, > nevertheless, I got response. Hope you get one too. It's nice to hear that there are positive results from writing to the district manager. Thanks for the encouragement. I am hoping that something good comes out of this since I have exhausted every idea I could think of. > It's nice to hear that there are positive results from writing to the > district manager.

Not totally related to your situation, but I stopped in the office one day to find out more info on the same-day oath situation and asked about the DAH's background checks & if they were back. The officer checked it out for me and confirmed that all checks were in and OK. > I had heard of many people having interviews for their N-400 before > their FBI background check had been approved.

IIRC, Mr. F. indicated that N-400 interviews were never scheduled until after all background checks had been done. So, I'm surprised to hear that "many people" had interviews prior to those checks being complete.

Hi: The statute puts a pretty short deadline on CIS for adjudicating an N-400 after the intereview [120 days sticks in my mind -- but I'm not looking it up now]. CIS **did** have a policy of interviewing before the FBI/other background checks were completed. This led to them getting sued a lot -- APA mandamus style suits talk in terms of action "unreasonably withheld" while the Immigration & Nationality Act had a short clock -- so not only did they get sued a lot, they often lost a lot. So the problem has now been "fixed" [depending upon your point of view]. CIS will NOT interview until AFTER the FBI/other checks are completed so they have a "reasonable" time rather than the set time. SignatureCertified Specialist Immigration & Nat. Law Cal.

Well I can see now why they are interviewing after the background check. I am hoping that by me writing to them, I will get some results (of some sort anyhow). I filed back in June 2005 and I have heard of lot of people in my state being approved in a total of 4-5 months (this is from the time of applying, to the oath ceremony). I have gone through the Immigration relatively smooth up until now. I do have one question for you. Why would all of my other previous FBI checks take a couple months or less and this one for my N-400 drag on forever? Thanks. |
