Hey guys, I wrote here before. My file date is April 25, 2017. Had my interview December 5th, 2017. Received letter of recommendation for approval at the end of the interview and there has been no progress since. I called multiple times but they weren't able to tell me anything that I don't myself see on my online account. I already went to one info pass and the officer told me he will speak to my officer, 3 weeks passed by and I have another info pass appointment this coming Thursday. It will be exactly 121 days after my interview. I know some of you went through similar process, do you have any recommendations on what I should ask them, how to make the most out of the appointment? Last time I went it took the guy less than 3 minutes to not really tell me anything besides that he will speak to the officer holding my case. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

did you file electronically. When you went to your interview, did the examiner have your entire A file? (should be a thick folder)

I filed by paper, unfortunately. My interview was December 5th, 2017 - Holtsville,Long Island Office. He had my entire folder. It was few inches thick.

wow I'm so sorry is taking you that long to finally be over with this stressful process.

your file might be in the wrong desk somewhere. You have to go where you had your interview and ask to speak with a supervisor. 

Had my interview in February 27 and in exactly 2 weeks later they schedule my oath for April 6. 

Hope you hear something soon

Thanks. My info pass is where my interview was held so I hope this time I will accomplish something. This entire process is just very unsatisfying and frustrating.

is a good thing you were able to schedule an info pass. I understand the wait is very frustrating. Can't wait for this Friday and be over USCIS once and for all

Unfortunately they will not expedite your oath because you have to travel. Legally they have up to 90 days to give you an oath ceremony. You can travel between interview and oath ceremony just have to up date your info at the oath date no big deal. You might have good news in the next weeks. Many people are put in line for oath in 2-4 after getting an approval.

I was approved the same day of the interview got scheduled for oath 2 weeks after the interview.

Hey guys, I wrote here before. My file date is April 25, 2017. Had my interview December 5th, 2017. Received letter of recommendation for approval at the end of the interview and there has been no progress since. I called multiple times but they weren't able to tell me anything that I don't myself see on my online account. I already went to one info pass and the officer told me he will speak to my officer, 3 weeks passed by and I have another info pass appointment this coming Thursday. It will be exactly 121 days after my interview. I know some of you went through similar process, do you have any recommendations on what I should ask them, how to make the most out of the appointment? Last time I went it took the guy less than 3 minutes to not really tell me anything besides that he will speak to the officer holding my case. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!

I am in the same super slow train,

 

priority date may 2016,

fingerprint jun 20,2016

 

interview nov 11, 2017 (decision cannot be made, need time to review)

 

and since then waiting , did three infopass , different responses every time, spoke with supervisor, her ridiculous response “we updated our software and ur file is in our new system which is sort of glitchy and slow , u r approved , u have to wait”  

 

dont know what else to do ??

I am so sorry this is the situation. Did you try contacting a senator's office? Yesterday I filled out an online application and then got an email back to send additional documentation (receipts etc). Here is the link:

 

https://www.gillibrand.senate.gov/help/help-for-new-yorkers/request

 

I am desperate and will reach out to an immigration attorney if this doesn't resolve soon. Did you try getting an attorney opinion on your case?

 

Also I went to an infopass appointment today. The lady was nice enough to go get my file, and it turns out the officer that did my interview, FORGOT to do the reading and writing test. He FORGOT. She did it with me at the info pass window and I asked her not to put my file back with this guy because it's gonna sit on his desk for another 4 months. After supervisor's approval she said my application is now where it's suppose to be and not back in his office whatever it means. She said I still have to wait for the oath because they are backed up but I am hoping that now application will get processed and my online status will change in the next few days. Crossing my fingers that this is it.

I am glad your got sorted out , lets hope you get it soon. My IO was someone who never did interview before and mine was her first interview thats what i felt the way she Was going through stuff and wondering what to

do next and speaking with her self .

 

Did you went to the LI USCIS field office ? 

 

I went their for interview and infopass  and the lady their on first infopass she said you are recommended for approval , once the super review you will probably get a letter in 30 days for oath.  Second infopass was another gentleman same response 30 days wait , on third infopass same lady again oh your file is in the slow system and it was kind of on hold for a while and now it scheduling oath but very slowly and you have to wait (I couldn’t believe what she said because last time her response was different so i asked for supervisor & supervisor said we are migrating to new software and ur file is new system and it slow and so on . It’s hard to believe  what she said.

 

Yes last week i emailed Senator office and got a response after 3 days that they will contact USCIS on behalf of me and asking for response and she will let me know . 

 

I didnt went for attorney yet but that will be the final solution before giving up 😂, i wish their was some transparency in this process .

hi everyone! I'm a march NYC filer, and does anyone have stats on how long it takes to get your application processed? I noticed that last year was much faster but wondering if this year is even slower. When we initially consulted a lawyer, he said that it'd take over a year. My application is giving me about a 9 month estimate, but am hoping that it won't take that long. 

 

would love to hear any other applicants' experience/timeline.

 

many thanks!

I am so sorry this is the situation. Did you try contacting a senator's office? Yesterday I filled out an online application and then got an email back to send additional documentation (receipts etc). Here is the link:

I am desperate and will reach out to an immigration attorney if this doesn't resolve soon. Did you try getting an attorney opinion on your case?

 

Also I went to an infopass appointment today. The lady was nice enough to go get my file, and it turns out the officer that did my interview, FORGOT to do the reading and writing test. He FORGOT. She did it with me at the info pass window and I asked her not to put my file back with this guy because it's gonna sit on his desk for another 4 months. After supervisor's approval she said my application is now where it's suppose to be and not back in his office whatever it means. She said I still have to wait for the oath because they are backed up but I am hoping that now application will get processed and my online status will change in the next few days. Crossing my fingers that this is it. 

I cannot believe how inefficient these people are. Thank god you were able to do something about it. You have some hope now.
