Correct. Have you updated the spreadsheet? I don't have the link but you should be able to get to it with search engine here. My petition is at National Benefits Center (MSC) and we also have a spreadsheet.

I’m sorry but what’s a spreadsheet?!

It's a document that some of our veterans have created for some service centers which are not available to select on our timelines, in order to gather data for everyone to see and hopefully generalize a time it takes for that service center to process petitions.

 

e.g. our star member @missileman created and is maintaining our MSC spreadsheet. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1Id1duRRByZHJmhEzl9N25GqwzcnUyLCR4e4N9W6zGLg/edit#gid=0

 

In the same manner someone has created a spreadsheet for LIN cases. If you search some of the previous pages of this thread you can find that info. I can't search right now. I will post later if I can find it.

Sounds like Tamaara solved the mystery.

Thank you everyone, Yes the mystery has been solved. My application was rejected because I had sent it earlier than 90-day window. I received the rejected packet yesterday and we sent it out after signing a new application, a new cheque for the same amount, with yesterday's date. Because of this I am in July Filers thread now, in case anyone was wondering where I went :). Good luck everyone and let's focus on N400 now

As someone pointed out before, there have been issues with USCIS Case tracker since last December. Your best bet is to inquire status over the phone (In My Opinion).

By the Way, before I call USCIS, does any one know, do they schedule Biometrics to the local office based on the Mailing Address or Living Address ?

Attempt a walking to Alexandria. VA ACS for biometrics today , they could not take me and said : Biometrics can be done any where, Nation wide, but I have to come back on my appointment day (July 17) because they can not pull up my info from the system before the appointment date.
