Glad the phone number was useful for you :) Well, if they requested your file in November and you still haven't received the IL...chances are, this request is no indicator for an IL for NYFO applicants. At this point, all we can do is hoping that we'll get it over with this as soon as possible...

As far as I know, there have been cases where the applicant had the interview and their file was still not requested from KCC. So even though USCIS needs the file to approve your case, it isn't always parallel with the IL. It's easier said than done, but try not to get frustrated. I mean they...

You can either inquire about the status of your case or directly ask if USCIS requested your file. The last time I called, she told me that the file was requested without me asking.

Thanks @_sair_ !! @NiwDV - Nope, you can call them directly at 606-526-7500. Just have your case# ready.

Fingers crossed then... Thanks @Sm1smom !

Soft update: KCC confirmed NYFO requested my file on Feb18 and it was sent the same day. Does this suggest the IL is around the corner?

Totally. And I opted for AoS after considering pros and cons of both options. It's just my company that is putting extra pressure on me regarding this process. They're more anxious about the wait than I am. Anyways, I will put this fuss to rest for a while :)

Well my initial statement was how slow the NYFO is working. Not making much progress on I-485 cases in one month. It's just upsetting that there's not consistency between field offices regarding DV cases. Not that I expect my application to be processed in any special way.

I'm aware of that but that's the excuse they use to state that we're still in "regular processing time". All this wait make me think that the application of the memo about DV cases is arbitrary and depends on the FO. I feel like NYFO doesn't care much about the memo unless you submit your...

I see that they updated the processing times on USCIS website. NYFO: submission date of the last completed I-485 case could only go from April 7th to April 8th in one month (Nov30-Dec31). How great...

If I remember correctly, one guy from last year submitted his application in October and got the GC in mid-April through NYFO. Hope that's not a typical timeline for them. Kind of scary to know we may still have 2 months to go...

Haha. Nope. Guess I already paid them enough in the beginning :) thanks!

The check/money order should be made payable to the "U.S. Department of Homeland Security". It's the $330 DV fee that should be paid to the Dept of State.

LOL. This just made my day - my thoughts exactly... My lawyer submitted a SR for a "missing notice", knowing the slim change of getting something out of it. Got the response last Saturday: "Your applications is pending consideration. Expect to hear back in 60 days" BS. They also submitted an...

According to previous posts on this forum, most I-485 cases through DV don't get any status updates until the case is approved/denied. So it says "Fingerprint fee was received" until after your interview. Every FO has a different timeline for sure but I think a month is too soon to start...

Does anyone have any updates regarding the NY FO interview letters? @Aldis @_sair_

Oh OK. Guess I was one of the unlucky ones who needed to provide evidence. Thanks for the clarification.

Every applicant who's over the age of 1 needs varicella vaccine unless, they have had chickenpox before. If you had, you either need a record from your doctor about varicella history or need a blood titer for varicella immunity.

Noted. Thanks for the input!

I've been following the forum for quite a while and decided to join the conversation today. Aldis, you and I have a pretty similar timeline. The threshold I set to take an action is when you get the interview letter. I checked the DV2015 spreadsheet and realized NY FO started sending interview...
