Hi All,

 

Does anyone have any tips, such as what time of the day the new appointments become available?

 

Thank you.

I think the schedule refreshes at midnight or late  night.  Keep trying different times to get in.  They would have less of a back log if they allowed walk ins for such crucial services.



Signature coming soon...

Hi All,

 

I've been trying to schedule an InfoPass appointment at the Des Moines field office because my wife's I-551 stamp expires on March 17. However, every morning that I check for available appointment times (around 6AM) it says they have no appointments available. I've never had any issues with getting an appointment at the Des Moines field office but am a little concerned now. Does anyone have any tips, such as what time of the day the new appointments become available?

 

Thank you.

I have had good luck trying a few minutes before midnight and sometimes set alarms for about 1 or 2 Am to get a infopass time-slot.

He then unto the ladder turns his back,
Looks in the clouds, scorning the base degrees
By which he did ascend.

Regarding InfoPass appointments, we've experienced the same problems and have never been able to schedule an appointment. However, my wife just went in first thing in the morning and was able to get a walk-in appointment. It actually worked out better than if she had scheduled an appointment since it's all the same queue. She was able to get her passport stamped until November.

In terms of CSC, all signs have been pointing to March/April, just based on the experiences of friends/co-workers. Additionally, this was confirmed when we called USCIS in December/Jan. They said that we should expect it to come in March/April.

After all this waiting... that is some great news. Thanks!

November 15th, 2016 CSC filer was approved yesterday.. this is good news for us January CSC filers :) 

That's strange because the website doesn't indicate they (CSC) are working on November 2016. I wonder if there was a concurrent N400 filed that required a decision on the I-751 and that sped up the process?

Their timeline does not mention anything about the N400 application. However, they did have an immigration officer visit their house in January..

That's true, however the date is as of December 31st for September filers if I am correct. We are now 5 days away from the end of February, so if they move a month with cases,  each month, then they will be looking at November filers right now.

Removal of Conditions..  TICK TOCK, TICK TOCK

 

Time to reset the tick tock clock again.   Roll my eyes.

 

GC  Conditional date:  05/26/2015

N400.  Application:      02/28/2018

Waiting............    Roll my eyes again :(

@shell20 I think immigration officers visiting this persons home was part of a random audit, I highly doubt CSC is processing even October 2016 applications at the moment. Around 40% of September 2016 filers are still waiting for their approval.

You guys may want to subscribe to the United States Post Office's "Informed Delivery Daily Digest" that shows you what is to be delivered to you each day.

I got my GC last Valentines day but my online status still "New Card Being Produced". I have no idea that they sent it already. So just to make sure  that you wont miss your GC on your mail box you can subscribed to usps and able to track all the incoming mail/package for the day. 

 

I got this idea from N400 Feb. 2018 Filers. I also applied for N400 online and thanks God no bugs and able to submit all evidence without problems.

No, I don't think so... there are still many September 2016 filers waiting to be approved in this very forum. And the October 2016 filers are also still waiting. Looks like we still have a long wait... :mellow:
