Hey guys just a quick update.

 

My I485 still reads "fingerprint fee received." My PD is 12/15/2016.

 

This morning I spoke to a tier 2 immigration officer who confirmed that my case as actually moved to "Ready to be Scheduled for Interview" as of 1/27/2017. 

 

I also raised a SR for my EAD two weeks ago and got a generic response. However, he said that I should receive it very soon. (Taken with a grain of salt).

 

Yeah regarding the i-485 i would believe the Tier II officer. Regarding the EAD i think you can get a good idea from your timeline, i have noticed, the Visa Journey prediction is often spot on. They predicted March 12-March 17 adjudication for me and it was indeed adjudicated on March 16. 

 

Best of luck

I mean, who wants to immigrate to Albany ( slightly joking ?)?? Of course, it goes fast ??!! As of us, we live in what must be the " immigration city of the Us ", there are more immigrants than natives here. But let's not lose hope, like I said my friend in Brooklyn had hers in 5 months so who knows ??

?????

Just got an update

 

Got an RFIE at day 78. Depressing. Most probably about the affidavit of support. Sigh.

Like @sebastianshaw said : complete asap !

Since the mail may take a while to get to you, I'd recommend talking to a tier 2 to know exactly what's missing so you are ready by the time the letter gets there.And as all the officers told me " send exactly what they are asking for" , if they're not asking for it, they don't need it. I was told I could destroy my case by sending extra info.On the bright side , you're already at day 78 !!

I so wish ?????!! I read about some in the November group, couldn't believe it !!

Like I totally get it for NYC ( huge city+too many cases+ closed offices) but why is your office taking so long ????

But you know I have friends who filed from Long Island and it took a year for them to get a interview

The reason is simple, Saint Paul Minnesota office caters to 3 states (MN, SD, ND) and half of wisconsin.

I am so sorry... But we've seen here that sometimes a quick response to a RFE makes your case move.  Go work on that response and you will be fine!  

Do you remember some of those people ? My response was delivered yesterday and I'm trying to figure out how long it take so to update/ process and approve etc...

Haha indeed.I have read somewhere if you move midway, you case is also transferred between local field offices. If you and your spouse can find a job there, i would say go for it

Questions is why all of a sudden MN local office is so backlogged when it has always serviced all these other states? Besides, It used to be well below the national average in processing times up until 2015 ish?

 

May be also due to the fact it is has a large settlement of Liberia immigrants/refugees, Somali mostly refugees and Far East Asia refugees (mostly Hmong from  Vietnam war et al)

 

All of a sudden Trump is Prez and folks who have been here for 30 years or more realized... oh sh*t, I need to apply for my citizenship ASAP

Yeah Im hoping that it holds true to my situation as well. It says that I should receive it between the 19-24th. So I'll be praying and going insane at the same time until then. ???
