July filers!

Ok it's not fun!

My interview is in next 10 days and I still didn't get the letter.

I called USCIS several times, and they said, they can send it a DAY before the interview.

A day before? It's Sunday. I really don;t know what to do.

I don't know the exact time or the place.. Calling them doesn't help, because they are "sorry, but can't do anything, please wait for the letter".

Fun. For how long? How can we go to the interview without it?

[Henmoh 2]

Tormentis, I can feel your trouble. This is simply annoying I can imagine!

My two cents is that

(a) keep the faith and believe that the letter will reach you soon

(b) if you don't have the letter by the Thursday before, may be you can go to the nearest field office on Friday and ask them for help

© just go first thing in the morning on Sep 15th to the nearest field office and try to see if they take the interview. After all you do have an email notification.

Wish you expedited mail.

Thank you so much Henmoh. It's really uncomfortable situation. I don;t really think that i'm gonna get the mail. It has been sent on August 13th, and we have beginning of September now. We asked them to resend the mail like a week ago, but USCIS said it's not possible. But the idea about going to an office in person is great, we will have to try. I just don;t know if that would help. Sigh, what a mess they have in the papers!

bout he optionc) -weha 4 offices nearby, we can try the one I had the biometrics in, but I'm not sure if that's the right one

Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't we choose the office location on the I-130 paperwork?

"Your relative is in the United States and will apply for adjustment of status to that of a lawful permanent resident in the USCIS office in..."

I assumed that office would be the one where I'd have my interview.

In my case, it's slightly different (although the same city) to where I had my biometrics as the biometrics office was solely for that purpose.

Have you tried calling the local offices directly and asking them?

Also, have you spoken to a Tier2 about this?

Congrats!

Thanks!

Of course we did choose, but only the city / area. I have no idea, where the interview will be. I would like to be sure, instead of driving from one place to another and ask. I just called the office, and they refused to give me any information. "Wait for the letter." Yeah, fun. For ho long? Usual you wait like 5-7 days, it has been 3 weeks, and nothing! We even asked at the post office - still nothing.

Spoken to who?

[excitedtimes 8]

Spoken to who?

Call up USCIS and ask to speak to a "Tier 2" representative - you may have to wait a while but they're far more knowledgeable and have more access than the front line customer service reps who answer to start with.

Ok, thanks! I will try!

Meeting with our lawyer this afternoon for our interview next week!

AWESOME!

And we are back to the initial review!

Just got my interview date for October 7.

Same interview date as yours!

[hellostranger57 18]

Hi guys!!

When submitting photos during the interview, should I paste the pictures on regular paper or just print it out in color on paper??? My lawyer said to just bring the album for back up and just have about 10-15 really good photos ready. I'm assuming we can't just hand out the photos to the IO as it may get lost in the file or something, correct? Is it better to have it on paper??I wanted to see what others did here? Thanks!!!

Really! This is crazy. Is there an issue with the address? You should check with the post office too.

There is absolutely NO problem with the address, it's been the same from the very beginning. The post office just decided to not deliver it, and that's it! They had bad day and here we are! We called our post office like 10 times in last 10 days, we called USCIS several times and they all said - we have to wait. So we did!

Now we really dont know what to do. We asked USCIS to resend the mail, but we supposedly have the interview IN A WEEK.

I doubt that this mail will make it!

USCIS refused to send it by fax, or email or any other way. It has to be the snail mail!

FUN!

WHEN YOU THINK YOUR CASE IS MOVING SMOOTHLY, YOU ARE PROBABLY WRONG
