INFOPASS help, wating for interview over 13!!!!! months!

[ksenia86 4]

I would really appreciate any help with my upcoming infopass appointment. long story short, I am adjusting my status from student visa through marriage . I filed all paperwork in march 2015, my priority date says March 3RD 2015, went for my fingerprint appointment on April 1st 2015 and since then I am waiting for my interview , my status online has not chance since march 3rd< when it says fingerprinting fee was received, since then I tried to make 4 service requests , 3 myself and 1 through ombudsman's office, getting the same bs answer, that due the workload , not related to my case uscis experiencing delay in processing my application. My field office is Newark NJ, which processing time status say , that they finished working on case dated march 29 2015 as for January 31st 2016. so I am way over normal processing times , plus I know many cases that filed after me like april 2015 and already received their GC. I have scheduled infopass appointment for tomorrow and this is my first one( there barely any available at my filed office) . Is this infopass appointment going to help or affect my case in anyway? does any one else had same problem with such delays ? I will appreciate any help or opinion . thank you.

Sounds like you will go to the INFOpass appointment and get the same BS answer you already have--sorry to say. The stories of successful INFOpass appointments speeding u someone's case are very few and far between here on VJ. I would contact your Senior Senator, Bob Menendez, and submit whatever paper work is required to have him contact the USCIS on your behalf to see why it is taking so long to process your application. I would get everything in order tonight and see about combining the INFOpass appointment with a personal visit to the Senator's local office near you. You can have these papers and info about the Senator with you at the INFOpass appointment in a place where the IO can see them. May help or may not but at least the USCIS employee will know you are going to try every avenue at your disposal to get your GC.

I hope it all goes well. 13 months is way too long for this process.

Hello ksenia86, I have been waiting for more than 14 months as well. I contacted the congressman rep and he said my case has been under scrunity. I made an infopass and sought answers too. This is so frustrating!!! My local office, Dallas is processing late May 2015 application already. My PD was Feb 2015, I was more than 3 months due for interview.

How long for the ombudsmans to respond to you. i requested the service 2 months ago but I haven't heard anything from them yet.

In my case, my file is already in the field office but I have no idea why they didn't give me an interview. Good luck ksenia, you should try the congressman as well. I will have an infopass on Thursday to ask them.
