Moving right along....and the next step is to complete all of my background checks and reviews. To assist the FBI in building my dossier (I doubt they call anything 'dossier's'...but it sounds cool) I will be making a trip to my local USCIS next week for fingerprints and biometrics.
I recieved my official notice - form I-797C (Notice of Action) last week with the details of my scheduled appointment.
I haven't had to go to the Immigration offices since they were the INS! Probably about 10 years ago, to have fingerprints and photos taken for my green card. Wow.
One step closer!
On a side note - now that I have a case number assigned, I'm able to check my status online at the USCIS website. A cool tool that is part of the site is the processing time calculator. I can get an idea of how the office that is processing my N-400 is doing with getting them completed. My local office has a published processing time (as of December 31, 2011) 5.3 months.
So, doing the math on our fingers....I could be finished by the end of June, mid-July.
