Does the text notification tell you the date for your interview? How long after that you received the interview letter?

I received the text on Monday, I then checked my case online and my interview date was there. About 3 days later, I received the letter.

Hi everyone - just a quick update on my case. 

 

I have not heard anything since July (case received and biometrics) other than receiving my combo card in September, so I went for an Infopass appointment today. I was told that my application is still at the Service Center and has not been sent to the NYC field office yet. They said this probably means they are still doing security checks etc. on it prior to sending it to the field office. Kind of unnerving. 

 

Sooo the waiting continues... anyone else in a similar situation?

So Sorry you're going through this. Hang in there...

Finally got the GC. Interview was on 5/31 and GC arrived 7 days later. Glory be to our Lord Jesus-Christ. 

 

We brough a copy of our case and no lawyer. We brought our 2016 tax return and joint bank account info. Anything you have with your 2 names will help. 

 

The interview was very fast and simple and we brought our family album--she loved it. Our 2 kids were crying but she was very patient with us, and said she has 3 kids so she understands. 

 

She asked us where we met and why we decided to get married. When you are truthful there is nothing to worry about. Truth always triumph

 

May the Lord give you grace and shalom, and may you get your case approved and you card in the near future in the name of Jesus

Thank you for asking! Still no news.

Have you ever tried to do an infopass? My PD was July 26th, and my case is complete.. July filers in NYC have concluded may-june.. 

It could very well be human error, you know, one of those cases where it was appointed to one person.. maybe that person has been on vacation, or retired or fired etc... you never know.  Try to schedule an infopass appointment, they would be able to tell you anything about your case.

Finally, an update!

 

I did go to an infopass at the end of May and was told my case was still at the NBC and had not made it to the NYC field office yet.

 

I just filed my EAD/AP renewal last week, and today my online status changed to interview scheduled! Yay! Interview date is on July 31st.

oh no Tara...  

did you ever go to the field office for an infopass? is that within the timeframes for your field office? Or was it assigned to someone that left and it needed to be rescheduled?

I'm so sorry...

Same thing... It's been almost 13 months since applications were received. 

I-485 and I-130 statuses still - "Case was received".

Our lawyer went to Infopass and they said the case is still at National Benefit Center - it means they still reviewing something... Local officer had no idea what exactly.

Considering I never even had speeding tickets - I have no idea what's happening and why it's taking so long... All other couples from Boston who applied in June-July had their interviews in December-January. And now I have to apply for EAD/AP extension and pay extra 410$ for that...

Losing hope and patience...

yup

its free once AOS is pending.

[azulturquesa 8]

Has anyone successfully renewed their EAD/AP yet? I sent my renewal application on June 21st and really need it by September 18 at the latest so I can travel for our wedding celebration in my home country... eek. My current EAD/AP will expire by then.

 

We had my interview on July 31st and had an RFE because my medical exam is now expired (thanks USCIS for taking over a year to schedule my interview), so I just had my medical exam redone. Sending that over on Monday and hoping that my green card will be approved shortly thereafter - but they told us it can take up to another 120 days?!?

 

This is all so nerve racking since I have to travel on September 19
