Hi there

Was just wondering if there were any updates from anyone on this list. ?

I am still waiting for interview letter from LA DO

Just curious

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?

Nothing yet from Washington DC either.

Still waiting for an IL even though on my NOA it said I could expect it within 90 days.

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.

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.

Why the hell VSC hold on some application?

Immigrationportal has a huge thread conneted to the processing times in DC. Currently DC is sending out interview letters for March filers (that is provided that you would not have any issues with your background check).

Smartie, I don't want to be a downer, but we filed in June and we have an interview coming up here. It might have something to do with the name checking though, don't have that common of a name so maybe it goes quidker. Anyway, good luck, and sorry to hear about the delay.

Just passed the interview. The officer said I have to wait for the Oath Ceremony letter... within 120 days.

Hello All,

I completed my interview yesterday @ Atlanta DO. Scheduled time was 1.05 PM but didn't get call till 2.00 PM.

IO was nice person. He pull up all documents I submitted with application and was just checking everything in order and whatever was missing he asked me copy of that.

He also asked me what's proof you're still married to USC and i told my wife is sitting in waiting area and he told me he needs to meet her after interview, I said That's fine. then he continue with application and ask me all Yes/NO question from last pages. Then it's Test time. Ask me 7 questions and ask to read one.

Then he congratulate me that I'm approved.

As my interview was after 2.00 PM, there were no chance for same day Oath. Ask me if 21st or 25th will work for me.

I picked 21st Aug at 2.00 PM. and he didn't even ask to meet my wife after interview.

Document asked during interview:

1) my birth certificate

2) Tax returns for 2005,06,07

3) My daughter's Birth Certificate

4) My I-20 because I came to usa on F1(Student Visa)

5) GC and Passport

6) My Marriage Certificate

Thanks all for help during this process.

Check my time line below.

I'm not panicking - I already called the USCIS and they told me all is well with the application. All we can do is wait.

There seems to be no rhyme or reason to when they issue letters.
