Thats ca or vetmont

ca or vermont and congra

That was CSC.

bop, those of you who must file through Vermont have a long wait ahead of you. Those of us who were lucky enough to be in the CSC all wish you well, but know that you have many more months to wait.

So I sent my application in on 11/3/2012 to Cali center.

I had my biometrics taken on 11/29/2012.

Then I've been waiting for a long time without anything. I called in and they said they will respond within 15 days.

Today I received another biometrics appointment for 6/27/2012.

Everything on this biometrics appointment looks exactly like the one I received before, except for the date.

I'm very confused right now.

We just received the card production notice via email:

On June 7, 2012, we ordered production of yournew card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we needsomething from you we will contact you.

Congratulations! I'm glad you didn't end up way behind schedule this time around!

Sounds like they flubbed up somewhere and need the biometrics again. I guess you could call them, but my bet would be that they're probably going to move quickly after you get the biometrics done. Call your biometrics office and see if they'll let you walk in early, if you want.

So happy seeing most of the Nov filers getting their GC. I'm still waiting on mine. Hope to hear from them soon.

I'm sorry Maddy, fingers crossed your approval is on it way any day now.

Thanks HeatDeath! Yes we are relived though we are currently in the Philippines and our neighbor is collecting our mail! I received notice in the last few hours of production of one of the two cards (mother and daughter) and mailing of the same. The second card - if it is anything like the approval notices will follow tomorrow. The first time through was a nail biter. This time I didn't have as much to send... go figure. We did send a sh*t load of photos covering events over the entire two years. I know they said two affidavids but we sent three. Last time we were interviewed. This time has anyone been interviewed?

My wife says she will start studying for the naturalization test as soon as we get back to the states.

Wait till you see all the stuff you have to send with the naturalization request. It's like the fiance visa all over again. (grr)

By the way, Vermont filers, the service center is currently working on August 2011 filings. (linkage for newbies: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/processTimesDisplayInit.do At Service Center, pick VSC and click the processing dates button for info.) The processing time-frames were last updated on March 31, 2012. Hopefully, there are more updates soon!

They usually seem to be knee-deep in applications there.

So, as some of you may know i'm waiting for our interview appointment. A couple of days ago my husband was going through our mail and what happened was he put all the letters on the table and then went away for like 30 minutes. There was a baby in the house and she completely took advantage of the situation : she spilled juice on the mail and destroyed it. Including the letter from the immigration which said that our case was moved to SD office and interview was being scheduled.

I called USCIS to request a courtesy copy. I waited on hold for an hour and then this lady...She just didn't listen. She was under impression that i lost my extension letter. I told her like 5 times i do not need it and then my husband told her the same thing (he has no accent), but she was like a robot. She was putting in a service request to resend extension letter. I had to literally yell to stop her. AND THEN she was like," so what is your problem again? i can't really hear you" OMG i told her again and she went, " oh no it doesn't show any interview in my system. it just shows that we received your BIO. cases like yours are processed within 6-12 months. so just wait and if by November 2012 you don't hear anything, then we will put a service request". Can you imagine? SO, i told her again that this letter said that we are going to have an interview, but she was telling me that it is not true and there is no interview being scheduled and no your case hasn't been moved anywhere. OMG....finally i made her put a service request to look into it. Srsly...i guess she was just avoiding putting service request...It's funny how NOW they are saying that this cases are processed within 6-12 months. It was a different story before.

Good gosh... Sounds like you got connected to a rocket scientist. I hope the mail will be out of the way of the baby when the appointment letter arrives. Hang in there. It sounds like they are getting close if the letter said they transferred the case.
