Notice of Potential Interview Waiver Case [Part II]

[shell20 746]

I sent mine on 3/20 - our one year wedding anniversary, so the fact they said the 18th was wrong lol ( in my case anyways. )

This sounds like a generic email to me that was just sent to some folks.

Agree! I am so sick of the run around. I was cleaning just a few moments ago, and found a service request later from January that said I would get an answer soon... ( 2 months, still no answer. ) Soon my ###! lol

Hey Guys remember the OMBUDSMAN are on your side and have given them 60 days and have by the sound of it already contacted the USCIS. Think positive, youre in a better place than an hour ago!

Just got outta my Infopass appointment. Arrived at 11:15 for an 11:30 appointment, finally saw someone at 12:40.

The officer was really friendly. I first asked about my lost EAD and she told me that unfortunately they couldn't do anything about it and the suggested route of refilling and expediting through my congressman was the best one.

She was surprised at how long my I-485 has been pending. She checked and found that it's at the Hialeah, FL field office and said that was unfortunate because if it was in their office she could have pulled it and got it worked on immediately. She then tried to file a service request to get it worked but because I already filed one online that hasn't yet been answered, the system wouldn't allow it. My service request has an NYC suffix but she said its now assigned to an officer in Florida. Apparently April 9 is the date they must respond by and so she told me to come back after that if there was no movement.

thanks for the update.

as least you have a definite date, good luck

I am thinking if I also need an InfoPass appointment

sounds promising! At least it isnt at NBC! You never know they might even pick up the phone and ring Florida!

I hope you're right. Do we have anymore March people waiting that you know of?

Tomorrow, April 1st will be one year for us from the received date on our NOA1 for the I-485.

I sent my inquiry to the ombudsman on Mar 16...still no answer back

Have you heard from the OMBUDSMAN?

[MovinOn 32]

Speaking of April Fools.. tomorrow is also my birthday! 22 years old tomorrow

Happy birthday(tomorrow)!

Im sure you will, they have a backlog from visajourney, but from what I can gather they seem to be very efficient and the USCIS have to respond within 60 days, normally a lot sooner. USCIS are going to be running around looking for files and ringing field offices to see if there has been a decision.

Firstly, thanks everyone for the birthday wishes

Secondly that's great to hear you're all hearing back from OMBUDSMAN, and Shell you beat me to it re-sharing my emails, I was just about to do the same thing!

Let's hope you all get good news by the end of the day/week at least

[MovinOn 32]

Sorry cahrie 99 I couldn't remember your user name, but I did however remember that you have probably been waiting the longest! I also remember they told you it could take up to 2 years. I am not sure about the 10 year card, as I am sure Nlhernan mentioned that if you get that 10 year card you don't get to lift conditions and rather than take the 3 years (well the 3 years they reckon it takes if AOS wasn't so far behind) it will take 5 years to citizenship!

I hope you get your GC this week!!!

Where is Movin On today, missing your daily posts!!

Good Morning.

Yeah as one of my best friends who played a part in the movie Sex Drive said and I quote, "If you move your meat, you lose your seat!" Love her saying that in the video (she plays a red neck mom in it) and I did beat you!! lol

Good Morning.

Afternoon here!! Lol Hope you hear today about your GC being issued!!!

[MovinOn 32]

Happy birthday...God, 22, that was such a long time ago...youth is wasted on the young...

Enjoy! The rest of your life as a 'Merican...

Yeah, I know. My oldest is 35 and youngest is 25...22? Whew, that is young...

Makes me feel old lol..My oldest is 21 and I had her at 27...you do the math LOL!

[Natonstan 129]

The weirdest thing was, I obviously moved here before turning 21, so I crossed the legal drinking age twice!

Oh wow, they responded fast to you. It took them a couple of months to respond to Nat. I filed with Ombudsman on 03/16/15. When did you contact them? I havent heard anything from them yet.

A couple of peeps received an email today and contacted the ombudsman around the same day as you, so you should hear in the next day or so, or perhaps later today!
