I think I'm in the same boat as you. I was going to ask about my long wait time after RFE response! Looks like I'll be calling them today smile.png

Do it! Poking them can't hurt :)

Megatron wait is no fun! I only care because of work; I need to travel, and I just want this out of the way. They sent some auto reply to my inquiry saying they didn't have an update however they had the wrong receipt number! I wrote them back, and copied the Vermont Service Center, telling them that:

1- they had the wrong receipt number;

2- this decision was crucial for my job;

3- offering up anything they need.

They can interview me 10000x over; my husband and I are legit, so I really have no worries regardless. It's just the waiting game that, since 2008 now (with all stages of this "journey") that irks me.

May the forces of decision making be with us!

Well I decided to call them today (I gave them a few more days) and before I called I thought it couldn't hurt to check the online status thingy one more time.

GREEN CARD MAILED TODAY! Good thing I checked to avoid embarrassing myself by complaining. Wow, it feels great to have one less thing off my back haha.

Thanks all and see you again soon for naturalization! dancin5hr.gif

I doubt it ;( I am STILL waiting for my interview date. My letter was sent May 29th saying they have moved my case to the local Phoenix office for interview scheduling and they will contact me when a date becomes available. I have just today scheduled a infopass appointment for August 26th in Phoenix to see if they can help at all.

Will keep posts updated as and when I hear back.

Updating cptrosco's interview. Hope you'll get the date soon...

Am I the last one of the September 2012 filers to still be waiting for mine? lol...

Interview is this Monday (September 30th) in San Antonio (I live in Austin). Original ROC package sent copy is made, trip tix organized, pictures up the wazoo from the last 4.5 years, affidavits, utilities, taxes. Everything short of having them in our bed, I guess. heh.

We're legit, so I know it'll be fine. I just hate interviews.. that and I travel alot for work--I need my GC to get my passport in my married name/renew everything else. argh. C'est la vie.... Will report back with what happens at the interview and the kinds of questions they ask, as I know that can help folks out in future in the same position.

Cheers, and will post soon!

Thanks so much--any and all kind vibes are super appreciated.

I just want it done-and GS in hand. lol. Not worried about them "believing" us or not. - does anyone know how long it takes after a successful interview to get the actual GC? I read 15 days, but I am super dubious about that (but hopeful...)
