AOS New Orleans

[TEACH 0]

My wife filed her AOS in April 2005 through the Missouri Service Center. So far so good, well that is until Hurricane Katrina decided to pay a visit to the gulf coast in August. Our local office happens to be New Orleans. That office closed on the 29th of August and is still closed. I was told by a lady at USCIS that it MIGHT reopen in 6-9 months. Now she said if our petition was still at the MSC, it would be held there until the NO office reopened and it would not be processed in Memphis, where most of New Orleans's records were sent a month or so after Katrina. If I remember right, I-485's in New Orleans were being processed with a August, 2004 date, so I asked her to look in her crystal ball and take a guess when my wife might have an interview. She said maybe early 2008. Is there any possibility of the petition being transfered to the CSC? This is a AOS from a K-3 .

I can give you no other advice than to contact your congressman and see if they can get this sorted out...... you should not have to wait until 2008 thats crazy.....

2008?! That's horrible!

I second Kezzie's suggestion: get an appointment with your congress(wo)man and see what can be done on that end. Compile all the information you can and maybe try calling the dis-information line again.
