Infopass appt in Denver.....and some info on Nebraska

[cal 0]

With my extension letter due to expire next week and an upcoming trip home to Australia, I went to get my passport stamped in Denver today. They gave me a one year stamp without any hassle.

I asked about the processing dates going backward by 6 months. The nice lady told me that as they received 3 million apps before the fees went up, they had taken immigration officers off certain types of applications. As the removing condition apps werent "urgent...you are in the country and can get on with your life" our cases are one of the victims. She gave me the impression that they had basically stopped processing this type of application. I mentioned about how they were being transferred to CSC now and she said that yes they had been doing that for a few months with new applications, but the older ones are basically on hold. She said I would be looking at about 18 months (im assuming she meant including the 14 months I have already been waiting but you never know!!!)

So for all those who filed late 2006 / early 2007 like me, the news aint great.

I said it was a snap to get the stamp in Denver without question. Hope it continues to be that way as my husband will need another stamp in July. We're right around the same timeline you are, so I hope she meant 18 months TOTAL!! Our file was last touched Feb. 1st. When was yours? Just curious.
