You can check that on the first page, AOS process link, timelines tab and 2015 link. I believe from Chicago lockbox receipt to interview is about 4-6 months right now, depending on the FO. Per @Sm1smom and @Britsimon they speed up closer to the end of the fiscal year.

I agree. My first infopass was literally useless, waste of time and money. The second one on the other hand was pretty helpful. I got my IL in a week, dated the day of my infopass. So other than driving into downtown (which is a pain) and parking (which also is a pain) you have nothing to lose.

Congrats. I just had my appointment too, mine was in Los Angeles. My travel and wait time were a bit longer, but from that point it was similar, approx 3-4 minutes. I was at the office at 10:30, I got stamped in at 11:30, they checked me in at 12:30, and got called at 1:30pm. The appointment was...

Mom, I am taking my employment agreement along with W2s and paychecks with me to the interview. Would you recommend getting a separate verification letter as well for the interview? Please let me know. Thanks!

Don't give up and push them, politely but firmly. Infopass every 3-4 weeks, or as you feel possible? You are likely to get another officer to talk to, or ask if possible. Try calling the 800 number and ask for second tier support. When the time from the lockbox receipt reaches six months submit...

Look at the timetables to see how long it takes. This year the October current people mostly had their interviews January-February. I was current in November and got the IL for March. It's about 5-6 months I think.

I was really close to walking in your shoes so I had the same question two months back. I think @Sm1smom said that from the point you have the notice of action that your package was accepted you are legal to stay until the decision. But search back on the thread.

Seems like my latest infopass was a success, I just got the interview letter.

If you read back @ndubs and me had the exact same experience at our FOs. He went there late Jan I was at the FO this Monday. Try to book an infopass for the 60th day? That's what I am trying to do.

Yeah I remember your post. You went to New York Jan 22. So you should get something in about three weeks. If you got something that would be promising. @Britsimon do you think when the IOs talk like "you should get something in X days" is like their unofficial way of saying they noted it and...

I did not. It says only use it if you are over six months. But I tried to call the 800 number and asked for the second level of customer service. However, that wasn't any help as they just read whatever you can see online... But others used it as I remember...

I had my infopass today. I think the IO wanted to be helpful even though he couldn't (or didn't want to) answer my questions. I feel like the appointment still made sense as it was a friendly nudge to them but I wanted to share to see what you guys think. I told him I would like to know if they...

Okay, that sounds good, thanks. Others had luck with their appointments recently, so I am hoping for the best.

Hi Britsimon, thanks for this response. I am also having an Infopass next Monday because of no interview letter. My concern is that I am going to get the same senseless response I have been getting so far. That is, the processing time is 9-12 months and since it's in the processing time they...

By "service request" you mean e-Request / Case Inquiry / Case outside normal processing time on the USCIS webpage?

Got it. Thanks. Do you know how much time in advance the IOs usually request it?

I called them and they told me the same thing: FO requested my file on 23rd, the file was sent on the 24th. I am not sure however if this is just a template response and KCC would have sent the file anyway or there was really an IO requesting the file.

And let's hope they now what they are talking about this time.:rolleyes:

Probably this is not the most important thing, however would you guys please update the spreadsheet with your status when you have a chance? I guess some of us haven't heard anything from USCIS for a couple of months now so it would be helpful to see where others are in the process. Thank you!

If that IO knew what he was talking about then that's at least a positive sign. I am just a bit confused...:confused:
