Hi all, just found the Chicago thread. My wife filed online (since that's now an option) in July 2017, with ROC still pending (since August 2016).

 

For biometrics, we learned that the Broadway service center recently closed (boo! It was super close, just a couple of stops on the L, whereas the Norridge one is a PITA to get to on public transit). Yesterday, Sept 28, she already got notified that an interview has been scheduled, and that a PDF with the interview date should be showing up in the online portal soon. Given the backlog for N-400 cases in Chicago, this seems way too good to be true, and we'll believe it when we see it... Good luck to all who are processing through the Chicago office.

That's awesome! I hope it's true and your wife will get her letter soon.

This is wonderful!  Keep us all posted as this is the only movement we've heard of since the February filers received their interview dates.

Yay for someone seeing Chicago progress! Let's hope they were just clearing some backlog and that everyone's case is going to move forward soon!

Well, it's apparently official: PDF interview notice says Nov 2. It feels a bit unfair to have "jumped the queue" like this (filed online in mid-July 2017). The ways of USCIS are not for mere mortals like us to fathom. Sending everyone speedy wishes for the Chicago office!

It's ok. We wish you well and it's still good to see people move forward!

We're finally seeing some movement. I just noticed an update on the March filers forum. Someone who filed on 3/9 just received their interview letter

I just saw this as well.  There is hope! I filed at the end of March and my NOA is April 7 so I'm sure I have a while to go but I bet I'll  be checking my mailbox and online case status daily now.

I can't find this update! What's their interview date?

[cupcake123 26]

10/30.

Great! Phew! It feels like we are gonna see a lot of movement. I'm finally feeling positive again!

That's fantastic! Gives us all hope.

No updates since? 😖

It is so confusing and inconsistent because I was sure when we saw the poster from Chicago move forward that we would see more March filers follow quickly  but that’s out the window again.
