My congressman made an inquiry on my case and said my case had been identified as a "interview waiver" case and that regular processing time for these cases is 6-9 months. From what I've seen, if you

Everyone ,

As frustrated as we all get while we wait, take a moment on this our Independence Day, to think about the fact that we live in probably the greatest country on the planet. That's why so many people want to live here and why there are so many petitions and applications ahead of us. Let's reflect on how our country came to be what it is today and why we love it so much. Happy 4th of July to all our fellow VJ friends !

Firstly, congratulations to the September filers who have GCs on the way!!! I'm thrilled for you!

Secondly, Peter_Pan, I couldn't agree more. Yesterday's celebrations made me feel more homesick, not more at home. Thank you for your statement and realistic approach. It is greatly appreciated :)

Yes, understood and all true. We will also be celebrating Ukrainian Independence Day on August 24 because we celebrate both American and Ukrainian holidays and cultures. We'll be having borscht , bacon, and dumplings. It's a small world, after all !

we are now past 10 months.. Got a reply from our Congressman from their inquiry - they forwarded the response they got from NBC:

After a review of our systems it was found that case number MSC..... for .... was transferred from NBC to the USCIS field office Kansas City, Missouri on 06/27/2013 for further processing.

NBC no longer has jurisdiction over this case. You will need to contact the Kansas City field office for further assistance.

So, on July 3, my congressman sent an inquiry off to the kansas city field office.

Hoping to hear something soon.....

I am more anxious for you guys to get the GC than for me, it is really been a trying period. So damn unfair that some get theirs in 3-4 months, while others have been waiting and waiting.

Congrats! So nice to finally see things moving for September filers.

I wish I could say "smell ya later USCIS" - which I thought I had. I unfortunately have an infopass appointment this afternoon to get an I-551 stamped in my passport. GC welcome letter arrived last Friday and I'm traveling internationally on Wednesday morning. I'm not sure if traveling on AP when your GC is approved, but not yet in hand, will cause any trouble. What a pain. At least with my stamp I won't get pulled into secondary, should be a breeze! Weeee! Cheers to permanent residency.

Wow, nice of them to let you know they transferred it! If it was me, I would have tried to immediately call the KC field office directly and ask them A) if it has arrived yet and B) if so, what is the time estimate and C) does this mean we're having an Interview?

I thought that if it got transferred that meant you were going to get the interview letter, but I could be wrong.

My wife and I filed on Sept 21, 2012, so we're at about 9.5 months. Good to see some Sept. filers getting some action. I had always said if it went past 9 months I would start calling people, etc. but now I'm wondering if we should give it another couple weeks and just wait. And if I do decide to start "calling people" where should I start? USCIS? The NBC? Call my local office and ask them to look into it? All of the above?

I'm waiting to call since my congressman sent an inquiry to the field office on July 3, so I am waiting to see what kind of response they get. That will be pretty crappy if we get an interview now after waiting this long. We are traveling to Romania the first week in september and I really hope we have the green card by then since we had such a bad experience traveling with the combo card.

Just so you know....I wasn't trying to criticize your approach. And I'm by no means certain about the interview. It's just that after reading posts on VJ for the past couple years I had been under the assumption that the NBC would do 1 of 2 things...approve the GC or send it to the local office for an interview. If anyone knows of any other experiences, please share them.
