A LUD a day......

Interview Notice received

What a way to start the weekend! I received my interview notice TODAY!
I actually saw my mail carrier walk up to my house,

She knows me and my family very well and I could tell by the look on her face that I she had something I would be happy to see, she jokingly got ready to close the mail box without putting anything in ours and then smirked at me handing me a stack of mail with the USCIS Notice on top.

Interview 9/27/2006

Whew ! Now I can relax for a few months!
 
Good news.
Still no LUDs, but at this point I'm just gonna disregard it, at least till after my interview.
 
Congrats Addie and cit100. Truly great news! For the rest of us with receipt dates the following week, I think our interview notices are coming in the mail this week. It does look like FP appointment has nothing to do with the process, rather the receipt notice date is the main....I bet our interviews are going to be scheduled for early October....Expecting great news!!!

I think it also depends on the DO.
A colleague of mine has ND 6/20 (6 days before me), but got his FP on 7/6 (19 days before me) and he received his interview notice 2 weeks ago...
 
I am waiting until the end of the week (hopefully I'll get the interview letter by then) and going to try to make an infopass appointment. It is somewhat strange, it really looks like not that many people apply for AP these days, so logically it should not take long to get it, but I guess at least I can go and see what is going on with my AP and how much longer I should wait...

If anyone has any input regarding AP, please....
 
If your local office is close by, I think it'd be worth an InfoPass just to talk to a real person and see if you can get your AP. If everything is in order with your case, I see no reason why you shouldn't be able to. So many people are getting interviews and interview letters PRIOR to EADs/APs that it looks like the processing of those have fallen by the wayside. I don't understand it at all. I'd do an InfoPass, but my district office is 8 hrs away :p The woman I spoke with at the "hotline" last week told me I could ask for a Service Inquiry into my case this week (on day 75), to find out why there has been no activity. APs, to my understanding, are supposed to be sent out fairly quickly.. :confused:

A colleague of mine, Italian as weel, (ND 6 days before me) got his interview notice almost 3 weeks ago...
8 hours????????? WOW, that's far! That's like going to vacation! I feel bad cuz mine is 10 minutes walking...
Where is your husband from?

Thanks for your input...I know that they would expidite the case ONLY if there is a life and death situation. The reason why I need to travel is not a life and death situation, but more of a very important commitment and simply logistics with my passport (it expires soon and since my embassy in US would not extend it here, I have to travel back...), so I just don't know if I should even try to gather some docs and try to "ask for pity" or if it is just a waist of my time...

That is ridicolous!
I heard pretty bad things about Belorussia, but what about if you can't afford to go home? And what about if your passport is expired when you do go home?
 
Sarr - he's from Macherata, but most of his time in the U.S. has been spent in NYC, so you two have a lot in common! He's actually up there right now visiting some friends because the waitingwaitingwaiting down here in Tenn was becoming excrutiating. At least in NYC you don't have to have a driver's license to "get around" :p

Yep, all u need is a metrocard. We actually have a car but it's pretty annoying in manhattan.
I wasn't born far from macerata even though i grew up in milan.
Auguri!

Yeah they are very difficult with a lot of passport/travel/visa related issues. I don't know what they would do if someone simply would not be able to afford to go back home, but I know for a fact if I travel back with an expired passport, they WILL give me hell at the border. I mean I have good few months until it does expire, but have to take care of it now, since I am gonna be graduating this semester and then I start a new job almost righ away after graduation...haha..so while this can be appealing to the people on this forum, I know that this trick would not work on IO...

however, I am going to try to make an infopass and at least try.
 
Hello :)

Hi everybody,

Just figured I'd say hi since my timeline is so similar to some of yours. I'll make sure to post if I get anything in the mail or any LUD's. I also just made an appointment at my DO for August 24th to see if they can help me at all with my AP. If I have any luck, I'll post that too :)
 
Welcome

Welcome, Lizzie! Thanks for posting your timeline. When you get your EAD, post that to the EAD timeline too. There are a lot of people here with RDs and NDs in June, so its nice to have company :)

Welcome! Its very nice to have some many people in the same boat! Makes the seemingly eternal wait more bareable.

Welcome Lizzie-
thanks from dropping in. This forum offers a lot of support, in fact I have become rather emotionally attached :D to it & will probably visit now and again even after GC approval. Good Luck on your AP:)

Hi LizzieDP...welcome!! I am actually in a very similar situation. I have also applied for AP, as I really need to travel back home sometime in early September. I made an infopass for August 22 with my DO to ask them about my AP (even though deep down I hope it comes through before then)...I do not really hope to get it, as it seems like they would ONLY expedite it in case of a life/death emergency, but I guess it never hurts to try...are you planning to come up with a reason for AP or just ask them for one??
 
Wow! Thanks so much for all the welcoming posts everybody! :)

Hey pvkby,

I'm also hoping I'll get my AP by my appointment date and kind of made the appointment just in case. I haven't really made a plan yet as to what to say to them but I'm thinking I'll be feeling a little more emotional about it all in 2 weeks, hehe. So, I'll just act off of that, lol. I have no life/death situation emergency - so I can't use that. Hmmm...I could say there's some kind of medical service I need done that is free up in Canada and is too expensive for me to afford here. That seems like a decent excuse. I'll keep thinking of em...
 
Hi all,
I had my interview on June12th 2006 and NC pending at Atlanta DO. Yesterday i had a LUD changed to 8/10/2006 on my I485. Hopefully some thing is going on.
Did anyone had this situation and got approved after the LUD changed?
I am hoping they will approve soon
