September 2014 AOS Filers

[England2Wisco 13]

England2Wisco, I see that your timeline notes that you finally got your greencard. Can I ask how you received information from an immigration officer about the status of your case? Did you do an infopass appointment? We have been told by the customer service people that they have no idea about the status of our case other than the general status that we see online. Its super unhelpful. Let us know how you managed this!

thanks!

I called the national service center and asked to speak to a Tier 2 officer, who is an immigration officer. The people who field these calls don't like that, either through ego or USCIS policy. You are best to call in the morning so you don't have wait too long. InfoPass is also an option, but same as asking for a Tier 2 officer.

Thanks. We will try that again and be much more insistent. They kept telling us that wasn't an option, which I thought many people here have said IS an option like you did. My husband has a pretty unpredictable work schedule so it would be much easier to call for us. Thanks for your quick reply!

Just to let everyone know that remembers me that I got an interview sometime earlier this year and that this month I got a letter saying I was approved and that I should expect my green card in the mail in 3 weeks. Definitely can't wait!!! After all the waiting and worrying I'm finally over with this part of the process for now. Thanks for the ones that gave me encouragement

Well finally after a 9 month wait my wife gets her Welcome to the USA letter and told that our application has been approved.

We never got an interview or an interview waiver letter. Also if I check the status of the case it hasn't changed since 9/11 of last year.

Oh well, now we just have to wait 2 or 3 weeks for the green card.

Welcome letter mailed as of yesterday! finally. YAYAYAAAAY! Lets see if they send it to the correct address.....

Well I think we all give our best guess about why, which is useless. But I will say that our case finally went outside our local office processing times. We called the customer service and requested that an officer look into the delay. They gave us a confirmation number and put in an inquiry request. Even now our online status say that that request has not been assigned to an officer for review, but 2 days after we submitted this inquiry the status changed and welcome letter sent. I don't think that is a coincidence. I think you should call and submit a request too. If there is no result from that, contact the ombudsman. As they say, squeaky wheel gets the grease. You have to be annoying sometimes to get answers.
