Hello All,

 

I would like to know the status of my case(I know I can see that in case status page, which has been showing as REVIEWING for more than 6 months). I tried like to ASK EMMA and  typed  "info pass", it showed me this "Please select the link below to schedule or manage an InfoPass appointment with a USCIS Immigration Officer.". My question is, if I schedule an appointment, would that effect my case anyway?

 

Without going through EMMA, if I call USCIS and say "INFOPASS" and ask about my case status, would that have negative effect on my case?

 

Thanks in Advance for your responses.

Thanks @TBoneTX. Any idea who we will be talking to when we connect through EMMA and say infopass (I mean rank/category of agent)? I just had a chat with an agent, after providing all the info about my case agent said my case is still under normal processing time then I said "Many people who filed months after me are already citizens but I'm still waiting" then she ENDED the chat. I don't know if this will have anything on my case.

Did you checked if you're within the current processing times? Cause that's all that counts. That other people filed after you and got approved before you does not matter. You most likely won't get an infopass appointment if you're within processing times. You can try, no negative consequences.

Thanks for answering my question. Yes, my case is still under processing time.

I don't know if she is pissed off, can they delay it more because of this?

They don't care enough. It won't affect your case. They'll ask you politely to stop if you keep on going without a reason since you're still within processing times but nobody will flag your case for extra slow processing.

@Letspaintcookiesthanks again much for answering. I was worried as I thought I made it worse unknowingly.

If it makes you feel any better, my wife's case has been actively under review since December 2021. We didn't learn anything new after talking to Tier  1 when we called last month. All we can do now is wait until October, when it is outside of normal processing. Oh well.

I'm sorry your wife's case it taking long. I wish they process everyone's case faster and at least provide some details about the cases, no insight of what is happening or where the case is!

What is your FieldOffice?

So our case is slightly complicated as we applied for Naturalization under 316(b) as I currently working for the UN in Austria. However, the answer to your question is the Boise field office. What is truly strange about the case is that we went from submitted to actively reviewed with no indication of reuse biometrics.

 

Our hope is that submitting 751 breaks things lose but we are not holding our breath.
