My case was approved on 2/20 after interview on 2/10 but both the website and phone system shows "Case transferred to local office on 12/9". Hopefully you will get your approval letter in the next few days.

Here is the thread where I posted interview experience: http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?s=&threadid=106590&perpage=15&pagenumber=2

My case was finally approved on 2/20 after 27 months of wait for I-485 approval. Here are the details: WAC-02-061 ND: 12/11/01 1st FP: 4/23/02 Case transfered to San Jose: 12/9/03 2nd FP: 1/20/04 Interview: 2/10/04 Approved: 2/20/04 During the past two years this forum has been a...

The actual wording on the letter he handed me was "Visa # verification". The reason he gave me was that there are limited number of visas per country and they have to verify that the visa is available.

I just got back from the I-485 interview at San Jose. The process took almost an hour. I was asked the usual questions, quite similar to the experience described by some other people. The immigration officer asked for EVL, birth cert, marriage cert, pictures, lease agreement, etc. Surprisingly...

You are being optimistic :) If the JIT report date is past your case even then calling the customer service line doesnt help. They have hired people who probably have just a pc and they check your case status from USCIS website and tell you that. In some cases they will transfer you to the...

Hi Kashmir, Yes, it kind of a pleasant surprise to see the interview date so soon. I wasnt expecting an interview until some time this summer. It is good that BCIS did something out of the norm and handled this in a timely manner. One thing I must point out is that I went to San Jose BCIS...

I received the interview & FP letters today. wac-02-061 RD: 12/07/01 ND: 12/11/03 Case transferred to SJ: 12/9/03 Interview letter received: 1/16/04 Interview date: 2/10/04

Congrats on the successfull closure of your BCIS chapter (unless you are too keen to vote for 'Arnie for President' in 2012).

Kashmir, It is an I-485 case and I went to ask about my case since my case was filed prior to the current JIT report dates. I spoke with the receptionist and then she called someone from inside who appeared to be in real hurry to go out for a break. Have you had a chance to meet with Mike...

I visited Mike Honda's office two weeks ago. His staff declined to help me. Their position was that my petetion was filed by my employer and they should come and talk to us and since I am the beneficiary so they can not talk with me. The problem is that my employer is Headquartered outside of...

Thanks guys for sharing your case details. RChak, if I were you, I would hire a lawyer as your case is not straight forward and the lawyer can come handy during interview process. I informed INS of job change to keep things clean and avoid any complications. Hopefully they will schedule the...

Jokerpoker, I dont think 2-4 months of wait at SJ is valid anymore. As of Nov 14, they were processing cases transferred on May 09, 2003 (still better than other local offices) but with INS/BCIS/USCIS, you never know what is going to change when. I agree with Soumy, that its better not to...

RChak & GC, when was your case transferred to local office? Did you or your lawyer do a fax inquiry? Have you changed jobs using AC21? if so, have you informed INS? Just trying to see if there is a trend here. Thx

Getting a case transferred to the local office means an interview. More importantly it means adding 6-12 months to the processing of a case. Based on what I read on this forum, all kinds of crap can happen, i.e. FP results being sent to CSC instead of local office by mistake, additional...

No its not a coincidence, they transferred my case upon fax inquiry.

The lawyer wasnt too keen to take any action at all. He said, give it another 6-8 months (Dec '01 case). I requested a case referel from INS phone service (3 times, and no response). Finally, the customer service folks transferred me to INS officer and he recommended to either wait or send a fax...

My case was transferred to San Jose on 12/09/03 according to the online message. Can someone share their experience on how long is it taking to get an interview appointment. Thanks. WAC-02-061 FP: 4/25/02 NO RFE NO 2nd FP Changed employer in 9/02 without any gap and informned INS.

Yes, i informed INS of the job change. I recently sent two fax inquiries and possibly pissed off some ppl there. Thanks, I will do more research on the forum but was just wondering if anyone else is in the same boat.

The online message indicates that my I-485 EB has been transferred to San Jose office. Can someone share their experience about the interview process? WAC-02-061 FP 4/25/02 NO 2nd FP NO RFE Changed employer 9/02 without any gap. Thanks in advance!
