Well, I wandered over here from another board. I think I'll add my saga to this thread:

Biometrics - 8/2004

AOS Interview 6/2005 Approved, pending name check

Still waiting.

I am actually considering filing suit for Writ of Mandamus to see if it will do any good.

Congrats to the latest people out of name check, that is GREAT! :dance:

I have been obsessively checking my case on the USCIS website and it has not even been "touched" since a few days before the interview. Shouldn't there have at least been an update saying that I had an interview or am pending a namecheck or something? Just adds to the "black hole" feeling.

Adam - Birmingham/Manchester, UK

Stick a pony in me pocket!

infopass appt set for friday. just to add to our EAR, not really expecting anything.

no word from senator, congressman.

Estella - our online status still states INTERVIEW CANCELLED. From what I understand from the helpline is that the local offices are not required to update the website. Some get touched, some do not.

Hi lal_brandow

just curious did you inquire with senator as well as congresman or just one...

I am preparing the paperwork for senator as we speak.

Hi lal_brandow

just curious did you inquire with senator as well as congresman or just one...

I am preparing the paperwork for senator as we speak.

I am not so confident they will help... but what do I have to loose really....

I inquired with both, why not, right? I just sent the same letter to both. I just have a schedule to contact these guys every 90 days. IF we need to file a WOM, then I have documentation that I *exhausted administrative rememdies* :D

Congrats to the latest people out of name check, that is GREAT! :dance:

I have been obsessively checking my case on the USCIS website and it has not even been "touched" since a few days before the interview. Shouldn't there have at least been an update saying that I had an interview or am pending a namecheck or something? Just adds to the "black hole" feeling.

Touches work like this:

Received date of Nov. 17 2005 showed for ages.

Touch on Dec 28 2005.

Interview Mar 9 2006.

Touch June 22 2006.

Nothing since. As you can see there's absolutely no logic to that pattern.

Save yourself some stress and stop checking. At least obsessively. I check once a day - if I remember.
