My case was approved. Passport was stamped. My case should be straight forward, but the interview lasted for nearly one hour. The officer is friendly and professional. But he is also very careful, firm, and a little tough. Looks like that he was surprised that our lawyer was not with us. Because...

It depends. My lawyer told me that my case is straghtforward, don't need a lawyer for the interview.

I don't think the judge need to tell the government *how* to run its business. I think he only need to tell the government to *do* what they should do. Assume a poor man without insurance caused an accident. The victim sued the poor man for a million dollars. The judge don't need to worry...

Monkey, Have you stamped your passport? It was said that passport stamp could be phased out 10/26

rso321/Monkey Our interview is scheduled in Nov. Do we need to make an appoint in Infopass? The interview letter is enough? Thanks

Monkey, Can you tell me what is the 'Insurance policy'? Medical insurance or other? My interview is scheduled in Nov. One of the documents they required is: Evidence that they live in our jurisdiction; such as mortgage and rental agreements, medical and government records, and school and...

The INS employees got paid by collecting application fees from us. But they didn’t do their job. We got hurt because of their laziness. If they didn’t violent the law, then I am sure the law has big problems. If INS didn’t violent the law, then they can hold our cases forever. It means that...

Be careful, it can be very tricky, especially for the cases that were transferred to local offices. For example, my case was filed in 03/2002. Transferred in 09/2003. The local office notified me in 04/2004. USCIS treats my case as 04/2004 case. It means that USCIS *thinks* that my case has...

. Visit Chicago office . Visit Philadelphia office . Call Chicago office . Contact your congressman . Contact ombudsman Congressman may not be helpful. Ombudsman won't reply within 6 weeks. Last year, when my case was just transferred, I called Philadelphia office for several times...

Money2003, when will be your interview date? Did you contact senator or ombudsman to push for the interview? Thanks

I visited the following site, and wrote down the dates one by one. https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp;jsessionid=a3zc2FQrCHt9 I did it manually. So it could have some errors.

6 weeks ago, I sent the email to the ombudsman. The next day, I visited their website and found that I need to send the signed hardcopy of the letter and a statement. I mailed the letter on that day. Today, I got a standard email from them. The email just repeats the information in their...

To check the status, you have to go to Philadelphia office. Don't expect too much. Philadelphia office has a webpage in USCIS.gov. It has two addresses for customer feedback: one is the office; another one is in DC. I wrote a letter to the district director last year to complain the services...

ghme_rfe, It sounds reasonable. congratulations for your freedom

I assumed that the ombudsman was our friend. Now I have to re-think about it. I sent an inquiry to him one months ago, but didn't get any response. Not even an automatic email-reply. A friend in this forum suggested that the ombudsman was not active after the report to the congress was submitted.

Turkish Engineer, My case was transferred in Sep. 2003 by VSC. Philadephia noticed me in Mar. 2004 and asked me not to contact them before July 2005. I don't believe they will schedule an interview for me in the near future. Thus, I visited Philadelphia office. It's useless. I contacted...

Thank you very much.

CIS Ombudsman is the ombudsman in DHS. He is supposed to help us when we have some issues with USCIS. Search 'cisombudsman' with google, you will find more information.

Anybody got any useful responses from USCIS Ombudsman? More than 3 weeks ago, I wrote an email and sent a letter to him to inquire my 485 case. But I didn't get any reply. Not even an automatic email reply. Is Ombudsman still active? Anybody got any useful responses from him?

Tufan, Atlanta is not 'slow', it's 'too slow'. However, the good thing in Atlanta is that they process the cases according to the RD. In Philaldelphia, it's very different: they process according to the date 'they' received it. Nobody knows when did they received the transferred cases. My...
