AOS question-applied in March,2013 and it still says acceptance-is it normal?

[girlwithquestions 2]

I sent out the package in March, around 20ish...And still the status is acceptance, it has been almost 1 year and I am still waiting :-(. I used the e-request but it says the information I provided was unclear so that they could not give me the info.

So anyone had such experience before? Is it worth to give uscis a call? I tried once and it was such a waste of time (basically just recommended me to use the useless e-request). You think I should just wait or should I make another phone call and maybe talk to a director?

Any suggestion is appreciated,

Lynn

Have you at least done biometrics? Did you apply for EAD/AP at the same time and did you receive those?

Waiting since March for a green card (or interview waiver) is unusual but not unheard of -- but if you didn't even get a biometrics (fingerprinting) appointment, then THAT is scary and wrong, that should have been done in April or May at the latest.

We've been waiting since February. Hang in there. It's a mess and there are many of us still waiting.

Call and put in a service request. Try the ombudsman > https://www.dhs.gov/ombudsman-case-assistance and/or contacting your congressman

How long did it take for them to process your payment?

[OrderofProtection 42]

LOL the payments they process in a week or so, immediately. They love that $, but then your application will sit and collect dust for months.

Make an infopass appointment to see what's up. That seems unusually long to me.

^{We sent my AOS in April 4th 2013 ,got my EAD card in July ,1st RFE in September,2nd RFE in January 4th 2014,Welcome in usa letter in January 26 ,and my green card true mail without interview today January 30 2014. I live in San Antonio TX and the RFE letters had the uscsi immigration office address from here ,I guess it depend where they send your application from Chicago .Hang in there all of you not to long anymore}

They cashed the check within the first week they received my package, and 5 months later, in August they sent me a letter saying I am a potential interview waiver candidate, and so there will be a delay but will hear the decision within about 6 month of time. So next month will be the 6th month. I have already filed another request through the Uscis call center and now considering going to make an appointment if still not hearing anything from them by the end of next month. I have already got my EAD in May.

We are basically in the same situation as you. Just got to sit tight I guess...

I filed for AOS on December 6th 2013, had my biometrics a month later on January 13th 2014 and received a letter today confirming my green card interview date as March 4th 2014, so it has moved incredibly fast for me though I am yet to receive my EAD Card (im anticipating that I should receive notification that it is in production in the next week or two). I know each office has its own unique timelines on how fast or slow applications are processed. My USCIS office is Memphis. Is there a way you can check the standard timeline for your particular office?

[girlwithquestions 2]

Good news...my green card is in production...Finally the long wait ends TODAY!!!

[Scom 5]

That's fantastic news!!! Congratulations

[girlwithquestions 2]

Thanks! But not sure if its a coincidence or it is the time, the day after I called UCSIS to file a service request, my status changed from Acceptance to Card production. So I guess for those ones who have waited for more than 8 or 9 months, it wont hurt to make a phone call to USCIS...

Your Memphis office is now processing July 11 if to watch the USCIS page.

Your story can show that processing times are a myth and excuse for those who waiting long time, it\s all about security checks time. one only reason foe delays.
