N-400 FILERS - MAY 2012

[BKMatthew 8]

I finally managed to get through to USCIS this morning, they told me NYC is processin Jan 2 applications now. I said that I participate in an online forum and that someone in NYC with a priority date after mine has already got an interview scheduled (that would be BGD). The agent on the phone opened a service request for me for non-receipt of documents, the NYC field office has 15 days to respond. I also contacted my Congresswoman and Sen. Gillibrand's office to express my disappointment in the under-resourcing of the NYC field office, pointing out that we pay fees for to file applications and have a reasonable expectation that our applications will be processed in a timely and professional manner.

See my post above. I recommend you call the USCIS 1800 number. When they tell you that they're processing Jan 2 applications, tell them you participate in this forum and that you know that applications with July priority dates already have interviews. Consider contacting your representative and/or senators.

I also called about 2 Weeks ago and they open service request no called from them yet. Tomorrow will be two months since placed in line. I checked other forums and people place in line on the 19&23 of July have receive their appointments for interviewalready. I told that to the second tier officer I spoke to and they had no answer. I asked if there was a certain order in which they give appointments and they said no particular. So they suggested calling every 2 Weeks..... I will. Its ridiculous.

I don't know whether it's a coincidence or not, but my online status changed today, my interview has been scheduled.

I am happy for both of you. An interesting coincidence was that my interview was also scheduled in the same day I called USCIS. In spite of more applicants, I agree that NYC Office could do a better for responding applications. They simply could employ more staff or could schedule oath ceremonies sooner.

Good for you, GBN and BKMatthew. NYC field office has been terribly slow lately. As if they're understaffed or something.

[olala 1]

NYCers, any of you received a yellow letter asking you to bring a driver's license to the interview? It seems like I am the only one who did.

[olala 1]

Good luck tomorrow, Jamican JNR (NYC). Do come back and tell us how it went.

I am happy for both of you. An interesting coincidence was that my interview was also scheduled in the same day I called USCIS. In spite of more applicants, I agree that NYC Office could do a better for responding applications. They simply could employ more staff or could schedule oath ceremonies sooner.

Coincidence I believe.......... I believe I called a total of 5 times in the past month.

Good morning everyone,

I have never participated, but have been following you for some time...Prompted by everyone’s calls to USCIS re NYC scheduling and “coincidental” notices, I have tried to get some kind of an answer from USCIS this am. For the record some stats for me: based on 3 year marriage rule, application was sent on May 21, check cashed on May 29, biometrics completed on 07.08.12, put in line on 07.24.12 and since then nothing.

The first service rep, I spoke to was a really nice lady, but knowing she does not have access to much of the info, I requested to be connected to second tier rep. Unfortunately, he was nothing like his colleague. The bottom line is that NYC is processing application since January 2, and my application is still in their valid time frame. For it to be considered out of the normal timeframe for this office, a 143 BUSINESS DAYS need to pass in order for them to do anything. His was unwilling to open a service request, and only suggestion was to make an InfoPass.

So wise people of VisaJourney any suggestions for me. Should I and rest of us NYC people just waited it out, or there is anything for us to do?
