May filers still waiting

[nathan688 4]

Hi!

 

I'm just getting so frustrated waiting for my greencard to arrive.

 

I filed at the beginning of May and my USCIS case status is "Case Is Ready To Be Scheduled For An Interview" as of September 5th.

 

I'm looking for people in the same boat as me and wondering if anyone thinks I should contact my congress person... I'm not sure if my case is just lost in limbo!

 

I'm also wondering what date is usually on the greencard, the date you applied or the date of your interview? I want to become a citizen eventually to get out of this whole paperwork/uscis nightmare and don't know if I wait 3 years from the interview to take the test or 3 years from the date of my marriage or what.

 

Thanks!

Same boat only I filed in July. What office are you going through?

 

You can apply for citizenship three years from the date you became a permanent resident. I.e when your Green Card is issued.

My wife filed in Nov 2016 and got her card August of last year. They approved the card 2 weeks after the interview. I would wait a couple months and hopefully you I’ll hear something.The date on your green card will be the date that you get approved and unfotunately the 3 year clock starts from that date.

I started off in Portland, OR but have since moved to Hartford, CT so I'm not totally sure where it's being handled. I had my biometrics in CT and my EAD sent here too.

That sucks I'll have to wait almost a whole extra year!

Thank you! I feel a little more relaxed when I hear other people had to wait a long time too. Most of the timelines I see on here are ones that have either been abandoned completely or updated because everything happened quickly.

Going through Philadelphia. Which is currently moving slower than New York and Los Angeles. I don’t really mind the wait I just wish that I had a bit more visibility of where it’s at.

Filed May 3rd, K1 to AOS case stuck on Fingerprint Fee Received since May 9 (we live in NYC, maybe that’s why it’s taking so long).  Did get EAD/AP combo card back in September however.

 

Also, put in a service request for case taking longer than normal on Nov 9 (six months in on the same status), it still hasn’t been assigned, we were supposed to see it dealt with by Dec 9, so still waiting.

 

Maybe it’s time to make an infopass?  What do you all think?  Looking at similar timelines to mine, they are still waiting too it appears.

Seems like we have almost identicle timelines. I’ve heard about infopass but don’t really know what it is. I’m gonna call the number for uscis on Monday and see if they know anything (they usually  don’t!)

@nathan688 Infopass is where you can make a local office appointment with your immigration office, an officer there can look into your case or help you with anything listed here:
