A brief update:

 

I send out the email on Saturday. And this morning (after long weekend), got a reply from the director saying that "she's not at liberty to disclose any information in regards to the case since this is a privacy issue". She said I can make an infopass appointment if I want to make the inquiry. I replied telling her that USCIS stopped making inforpass appointments for case inquiries. I asked if she can help making that appointment. 

 

I guess the positive sign is that someone is at least looking into my case. I'm not sure if she'll write back to me again. I'll mail my letter tomorrow.

 

Hoping for the best.

Yes I would send the letter also asking for an info pass appointment bc you tried calling Uscis and they won’t give you one. 
 

At least someone is looking at it though

 

best of luck !

I am a very persistent individual and have lived my life by when there is a will there is a way.  And you really can't accept no for an answer.

 

I wanted to give an update on my wife obtaining her Green Card.  For those of you that aren’t familiar with Baltimore they are unlike many offices in that they do not approve a GC on the spot.  Their standard MO is to give a letter saying that they need to review the case and to allow them 120 days to make a decision.   There are some exceptions but this seems to be done the majority of the time.  The letter which we were given actually told us to please wait at least 120 days and at that point we may make an inquiry through the national customer service center or we may request an infopass appointment.  The letter was had the name of the local field office director in Baltimore.   At 122 days I called the national customer service center requesting an infopass appointment, was routed to tier 2, and was told its not a thing to request an infopass for case update.  I asked for him to please explain to me why the field office director would have letters issued with his name and title on the bottom of the letter if its not a thing?  They Tier 2 officer kept on talking in circles and really couldn’t give me an answer.  I asked him for the email address for the officer handling my case so I could reach out directly.  He said he didn’t have it.  I asked for him to call the local Baltimore field office.  They said he can’t do it but maybe he supervisor could.   So he put me on hold and got his supervisor.

 

This supervisor told me the same thing.  That the prior officer was correct and that infopass appointments are not for case status updates and he couldn’t speak to the letter that I received.  He told me I could complain to the ombudsman about the letter.  I told him I have no interest in making a complaint as that does not solve my issue at hand.  He then advised for me to make an online inquiry.  I told him we both know that it’s a waste of time and it wont get anyone moving on the case.  He didn’t acknowledge this directly but seemed to agree with me.  I asked him to call the local office and the officer handling my case to see what was going on.  He said he couldn’t do that.  I asked him what else I could do.  He advised for me to write a letter to the local field office director that was listed on the case.  I basically did a pre writ of mandamus letter.  Outlined my concerns and said I was reaching out prior to filing a writ of mandamus and that I wanted the case to be adjudicated as its been over 120 days since the interview.  I found the email address for the field office director online and sent it to him via email and also sent signed receipt certified mail delivery via USPS.  That letter was received on Monday and this morning the case was updated to “New Card is being produced”.

 

Hope this helps someone else.

How long it take you to get your interview?

How did you get the officer 's information. I moved from Florida to Baltimore and when I made an inquiry I was told to write to the office director.

Would be happy to send to you for free..

Hello, first of all I want to congratulate you for that good job you did. At this moment I am going through a moment of immense frustration, because after 246 days of my naturalization interview, they do not give me an answer, and I have been reading about: Notice of Intention to File for a Writ of Mandamus.. Searching in this forum, I came across your post and I would like to know if you can share the sample letter you sent to the USCIS office. I would be infinitely grateful.
