Haha! Breaking news - Mom posts a selfie!!

Wohoooo!!! Just got my CPO! Wanted y'all on this forum to be the first to hear. I'll be posting a very detailed account of the entire process for me from start to finish in the next few days. In the meantime, thanks so so so so much to all of you. I only found this forum much later on in my...

In my case, I phoned the KCC and they told me that they sent my file to the FO two days after my interview. So here's at least one instance in which the interview was scheduled long before KCC sent the case file, though I don't know how common that is.

I hear that, and I assure you I take no joy in that knowledge. If I could do collective penance for European bureaucracy, I would :-(

Had the infopass today I arrived 15 minutes early, and they finally saw me 1 hour 15 minutes later. The officer basically told me that my case was within normal processing time and that I should wait, exactly as predicted by Mom (no surprises there :-) ) It's pretty clear to me that the RFE is...

Sometimes you read posts like this and you think that even Kafka would be shocked by this process! What a bureaucratic nightmare. They may as well get us to play Russian roulette and give Green Cards to the survivors... And we're the LUCKY ones in this whole story, we won! I shudder to think...

I guess for some it is indeed a LUCKbox - nice typo ;-) This spreadsheet contain's previous people experiences in re: timeline - you should find the answer to your question there:

Allright, so I have my infopass coming up this Tuesday. As a reminder, I had my interview two months ago, an RFE one week later and since then nothing. Two questions: Is there anything specific I need to mention/ask, or just mention my case and the time it's been? You'll recall that I entered...

Haha, that's high praise - now all I need is my CPO and I'll be fulfilled in life :) Edit: but please don't retire!! I feel like the number of successful AOS petitions would plummet!

I'm very curious to hear the answer to this question too. What I was told is that you shouldn't inform the school you're applying for AOS until the very end (when you have the Green Card in your hard) at which point they can go ahead and close your SEVIS file. The reason for this is that the...

How do you know this stuff, Mom?! This is priceless information - dunno what we'd do without you, once again!

A'right, just managed to get an INFOPASS appointment in two weeks. Just to make sure I checked the right box, the kind of appointment I chose is: Case Services follow-up appointment - If it has been over 45 days since you contacted NCSC and have not received a response to your inquiry. You must...

So I phoned the KCC, and they claim that they forwarded my case file to the FO two days after my interview (almost 1.5 months ago), so I guess that's not the problem. I tried to make an infopass, but it turns out there are no infopass appointments available at the New York FO currently...

Thanks for the response, Sm1smom - very useful as ever I did not recently contact the KCC. Is that something I can do? Would you recommend I do it by phone or email? I won't do the DS-260. And don't remind me about those thousands of dollars haha! I'm telling you, they should have a link to...

Super useful info, @ndubs, thanks for that. I'll keep on hoping!

Sooo, it's been 1.5 months since my interview and still nothing, and I think I may know why... I just logged in to the DS-260 website with my case number, and it says that my IV application was "not started" - so my lawyer probably never filed my DS-260. Having said that, I did receive my 2NL...

FYI to all - I had my interview at the Manhattan field office over a month ago, received an RFE and submitted it almost exactly one month ago. My lawyer dropped off an inquiry two weeks ago to no avail. He finally went in to the field office today, and spoke to a supervisor, who said that...

I completely echo this gratitude, and thanks for the kind response, Sm1smom! Whilst I of course promise to pay it forward, if there is perhaps some charity we could donate to in your (anonymous) name as well, or anything else we could do to show our thanks, let us know!

Thanks for the tip - will make sure I do that in the future. And yes, I do - I should have been clearer. My suggestion was to go through that whole procedure. That said, I completely defer to your opinion/answer on this, of course. And thanks for your detailed comment in re: AP.

Your situation does seem a bit unclear from your description. I think your best bet is to wait till you become current, submit an I-485 with an advance parole application, and then pay the fee to have the advance parole application expedited (see the page here...
