How does one schedule an Infopass in New York if within the normally processing timeframe, to get an update on case? Per their website these are the four options - which one must one click? Many thanks

We offer 4 kinds of appointments for a case that you have already filed. Please choose from the following -

Order from Immigration Court - If you were directed to us for processing based on an order from the Immigration Judge. You must bring all documents required in the post order instructions given to you by the court.

Case Processing Appointment - If you received a notice to go to your local office for further case processing.

EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.

Case Services follow-up appointment - If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must bring the Service Request ID Number related to your inquiry to the appointment.

Start a new topic on the forum and ask your question there... you'll get better answers... I don't think any of us in the December thread have scheduled an Infopass... yet... so it'll be interesting to see what the answer is.

N-14/RFE for evidence of marital relationship. No problem. Gather docs and pictures and return them to the Dallas Field Office.

Did you apply under the 3 year rule? Or 5?

Witamar,

It was by mail. The officer had not yet reviewed the file thoroughly at time of interview, which was very early in the morning. I looked back over the checklist uscis gave us and I should have provided additional documents. I told my wife it is all my fault.

I checked the timeline and your wife's interview was in 4/12. What was the outcome of the interview? Was it "decision can not be made at this time"?

All done with my ceremony yesterday! Getting both kids up at 5:30am was the hardest part as one of them doesn't normally get up for school until 7. But we got there just in time for 8:00am sign in and instructions. It was a nice ceremony but somehow a little less than I expected. I don't know why. Perhaps it was the judge lecturing us on the state of the country at this time and how we all needed to register to vote in order to make it better. There were no empty seats in the entire hall and we had a 5th grade class there to observe which was kinda neat. There were two other Canadians. I was fascinated by all of the people from such far away countries. Moving from Canada is nothing. it isn't like I fled from some awful place and now have such a great life. I didn't have to adapt or learn a language. I was just amazed by all of the people from all over the world who are here now after coming from so far and having to learn about a different culture, language, climate etc etc etc. Those are the interesting stories. Mine is boring! I was proud though that the kids actually stood up and said the oath with me. I didn't really tell them to, they just did and it made me proud!

I immediately went to apply for our passports so that will be the next mystery. I have two challenges to overcome and I hope I don't have a problem. One, is whether they take my naturalization certificate as enough proof for the kids and the other is whether my sole custody documents are satisfactory. We shall see!
