Ours was touched on 10/19. Since we haven't heard anything from them I'll take that as a good sign.

We skipped the TD vaccine and are waiting to see what, if anything, they do about that.

Hello VJ,

I'm home and I'm .....APPROVED!!!!!!

So I promised an accurate report of my experience and here goes...

We left the house at 10 am to get to Philly, we were there with about forty minutes to spare, we looked for a coffeespot and didn't find any so

we went in at 10.45, went through the checkpoint and everyone was curtious and to the point, just like the airport.

We went up to the 3rd floor and went into the waiting room and handed in our letter to the receptionist, sat down and waited for our 11.20 which ended up being 11.30.I heard my first name and saw an older man with a really friendly face.

We went through the door and into his office, we remained standing and took our oath(very simple and quick).

Then we were seated and I was so nervous I kept wanting to just get things out in the right order...He continued by talking to my husband about what he did etc,...I then started to calm down because I realized they were just chatting! He then asked us some is this your name and your birthdate type questions and then asked some NO questions....He was chatting about us , himself all through it and I could tell he wasn't being calculated but very genuine.

He only wanted to see the pics because he loves to see the world and he asked about our income we wanted to give him all these copies but he didn't want them, he just needed to know we had them...

We were in there for a good forty minutes because it was pleasant and a good chat, my husband was asking him all sorts and he was glad to reply...

At the end, he told us that he does this to build America through one good family at a time and he said I'm happy to say welcome to America!

Not only was our experience pleasant but it only took 91 days! This IO impressed me so much and I can't help but admire someone like him, he loves what he does and it showed.

I was so inspired and felt so happy and gratefull.

My GC should be here in 2 weeks.

I now know it's true, if you really are married and a real couple, you have nothing to worry about, it's actually quite fun, like graduating!

:lol:

I'm going to take a stab at an idea, and if I'm wrong, then oh well.

Since the fee increase, it seems that people who DO NOT get RFE's get transfered to CSC, (thus no interview). Those who DO get RFE's get transfered to local offices and receive interviews (probably to verify original paperwork?).

Correct me if I'm wrong here. Just some rambling.

I believe they've tried many times to figure out a pattern in who gets transferred and who does not. I don't think they've found a rhyme nor reason yet.

Yeah, but I wanna know if this theory (above) can be proven/disproven. I ain't trying to crack the USCIS code, but I do think that they may be trying to make up for lost time with the backlog by following this simple plan that I've mentioned above.

True or false, CSC transfers - did you get an RFE for your AOS?

I think you're going to be wrong with this assumption. CSC does send out RFEs and to speculate that only cases without RFEs get sent to CSC is way off base, imo. You can be RFEd at anytime, even after the fee increase. An officer at MSC might have missed that something was needed but still sent on the case to CSC, then when the namecheck comes back they (CSC) check through the case again and find that there is something wrong/missing after all. They aren't going to send it all the way back to MSC to then be sent out to a local office for interview just because it needs an RFE....

Alright, dudes, I don't have any hang ups about saying my theory is wrong.

We could spend hours trying to work out what is the criteria for what. All we'd end up with is a huge headache and even more frustration!

I didn't have any rfe's or even any odd things...
