Thanks @Jbuff, I thought that may be the case. Although it appears we make a good case to prove we didn't break residency, it adds risk as the IO gets to decide. It would be no longer black and white.

Hello everyone, I'm interested in your thoughts on the risks around staying out of the country between 6 and 12 months and overcoming a presumption of a break in the continuity of our residence (for naturalization). My wife and I are LPR's (GC). Our child is a US citizen. We've all been out...

Hello everyone, I too have some information to share. We were approved this week and our cards are on the way! Thank you all for your help throughout this process especially Sm1smom & Britsimon. The AOS Process and Documents Google Doc was invaluable. We had our 4th Infopass appointment on...

Thank you.

Thank you Sm1smom. We are still waiting for an update on our case. We have another Infopass next week. I'd love to know what the holdup is on our background checks. We've been in the States for almost 9 years legally, renewed our visas every couple of years, never been in trouble with the law...

I have a question regarding contacting my congressperson. I see two Senators listed for California, one is Class I (term expires in 2019) and the other is Class III (term expires in 2023). On both their websites they state that they are able to assist with federal immigration challenges. I...

Thank you Sms1smom. I appreciate the feedback. Its a pity the officers aren't always as knowledgable as you! I wonder why the officer told us a few times the July 2 date?

Just sharing details of my third Infopass appointment that took place today in Los Angeles. We had a knowledgeable officer this time who explained that he has worked as an interviewer in the past. We were off to a good start. He then informed us that our biometrics were only “uploaded into...

You have not provided enough information for us to help you. Have you done your biometrics or received any other NOA's? Are you just waiting for the back ground check? If you are waiting for your back ground check then there is nothing you can do to speed it up. One the first page of this...

Are you able to request to speak with an officer that handles DV cases? If so, do you make the request when you check-in at the front desk [where they review your info pass appointment printout, ID and give you the number printout] on when your number is called and you speak to the officer?

Thank you for the quick response Beau and Sm1smom. We've got our 3rd Infopass next week. Would anyone have suggestions on how we can get them to nudge the FBI into completing our background checks or how to deal with an uninformed officer? Our 2nd Infopass was frustrating. The officer...

Hi everyone. I finally received an update on our AOS today, the first since receiving the Biometrics appointment letter in May. I received notification that a my EAD card is being produced. I take that this is a good sign? Does this mean that the background check has been completed for me? We...

Thank you Sm1smon.

Thanks Sm1smon. Current in April. Delivered to the Chicago lockbox on 04.13.2017.

Hi everyone, I've got a question regarding the background check. Probably like others here, we are starting to get anxious with the September deadline fast approaching. Will reaching out to my member of Congress in any way accelerate this process? I’ve got my second Infopass appointment this...

Just sharing that we had our first InfoPass appointment this morning at the downtown Los Angeles FO. We sought an update on how our AOS was progressing and when we should expect an interview. We were told that the FBI background check was not complete and that the request for it was submitted on...

Just sharing that the two Application Support Centers in Los Angeles [Wilshire and La Brea] are not allowing walk-ins currently. I tried both today for my biometrics and was given the same message - they are booked solid for weeks. Not that it helps us doing AOS, but the Wilshire office said...

Neither my wife nor I received a notification related to biometrics either. We too signed up weeks before receiving the letter in the mail.

Hi everyone. Is there a way to find your biometrics appointment date outside of the letter? I'm expecting the letter any day but I have to fly out of state for 10 days. It's concerning as I have seen some peoples appointments scheduled for less than 10 days after receiving the letter. I have...
