N-400 August Nebraska filers

[dcl766 0]

Ok, don't shoot the messenger but unbelievably Marina received her interview notice letter in today's mail. It was dated 9/9/08, which was one day BEFORE her biometrics were completed.

I don't know what's going on, but her interview is scheduled for October 20th in Chicago.

I know alot of you have been waiting for much longer so I wish speedy processing for all those waiting. Maybe this is some payback in a good way for our long wait for Carina's FBI name check.

Here's an updated timeline list:

So along came a letter from the USCIS today. It was YELLOW. I figured that was not a good thing. Long story short, They want additional documents. I have no clue why, but they want it. Yipee. Bring all of it to your interview stated the letter. BUT NO DARN DATE!!! So atleast I know they are processing my file, and that the interview date is on it's way.

The joys of waiting =)

Hey, Feyser!

And now we are 2! Its been over 7 weeks since Nebraska got my N-400 and my check still hasnt been cashed and of course I dont have NOA! I called them for a 3rd time last week and this time the IO seemed to be a little more inclined to help-meaning she took a little longer to research, but still told me that Nebraska havent entered me in the sistem yet and when I told her my check still hasnt been cashed, just by the tone of her voice I could tell that this is not normal and that something is wrong. Anyway she told me to give at at least 2-3 more weeks and if nothing by then-to call them back! I am now about 90% sure they have lost my papers and what bothers me the most is that they wont do or let ME do anything about it until they meet their time lines!!! So, now I have decided to call back on the 1st of october if the situation is still the same by then. I am really curious what they will tell me or what they do in a situation where they have lost somebody's paperwork! What sucks is that I was required to send a original of a document which was hard to get and if they want me to resend everything where the hell am I going to get that document again from?! But I am going to try to keep my cool and not get ahead of myself, cause I still have a tiny bit of hope left,so we'll see!!!

Call your local U.S. Representative or Senator's office and ask if they will "file an inquiry with the USCIS Congressional Liaison Unit." It's a common request so you should be able to get some information on your case. I did it twice during adjustment of status and got results both times. I just did it again today so we'll see what happens.

Out of curiosity Ilona, how did you mail in your application? I always send mine with a signature and/or delivery receipt confirmation request so I can say that it has been signed for in case it gets lost.

Yes, this is exactly how I sent mine too-with a signature upon delivery and I printed out the page stating when it was delivered and the name of the person who signed for it! I just checked with my bank again-nothing new-check still hasnt been cashed. So I am calling for a last time on the first of october and depending on what they say I'll try doing what Feyser said-to contact the local representative! I'll let everyone here know what's going on when I have new developments and I really dont wish this on anybody here!

I personally think Neb service center is slowing down. It seems like they hit August and slowed down a lot. VSC is starting to issue Interview Letters for Aug filers.

Marina received her yellow letter today (like KyngSilva); in addition to bringing a driver's license/state id & proof of divorce for her prior marriage they want final dispostion paperwork for her "arrests" that were listed on the application. Of course we were very clear that these were not arrests but traffic citations but apparently that doesn't make a difference. We will get a copy of her MVR and see if we can get anything from the courthouse. What fun. I for one will be glad when all of this is over.
