Regardless of if anyone told you that you were at a field office, can all chicago locals answer the poll?

my timeline searches only came up with 2 results so im hoping theres more that didnt designate a field office yet

even if you filed recently feel free to answer to keep the count correct

abroad filers need not answer and this topic is NOT for the chicago LOCKBOX

if you answer the poll can you also please post so i can see who all is here?

thanks!

Great. So Chicago might be following suit with Atlanta.

Now I'm REALLY kicking myself in the butt for not just writing my Canadian address.

Maybe it will pick up KDH, don't give up hope yet. I secretly consider August and September transfers to be about the same as October filers because of when the field office probably received their cases.

All hope is not lost, yet.

At 240 days, all hope will be lost. :crying:

3/2/18  E-filed N-400 under 5 year rule

3/26/18 Biometrics

7/2019-12/2019 (Yes, 16- 21 months) Estimated time to interview MSP office.

Well I find it a little bit strange that my petition sat at NBC until this month.

I'd love to know the thought process in how/when things get moved.

Here's my ultimate solution.

Go back to school, apply for job at USCIS, work for chicago center, approve my own petition 12mos from now.

It doesn't get sent to the back of the line.

So I would think you'd get approval soon :thumbs:

Did you include the beneficiary BC? Or no?

NO. But some people got RFEs for them.

So I'm hoping chicago doesn't request.

If they didn't request yours, shouldn't request mine :thumbs:
