Its Jan 2006 and I havent heard a word from INS.What should be my course of action ? Please advise.My interview was in Garden City Newyork.
Should I hire a lawyer and ask him to investigate ?
Thank you in advance.

RealSuperK said:Why would you give them at least one year if by law they got 120 days after the interview?
hm11 said:Thats true that they have 120 days but believe me USCIS can do nothing if the name is not cleared. Usually it takes 9 - 12 months to clear. In the past, I have talked to Imm. Off. at Garden City and they advised that keep writing for status update.
If you don't want to wait, its your choice. You can hire an attorney or make an infopass appointment. I wish every one good luck.

RealSuperK said:I had my infopass yesterday. I told the lady that I filed my application almost a year ago and my name check has been pending since March '05. After that she said "Oh, you are in the early stages of the process. It may take UP TO 4 YEARS to get your citizenship". That almost made me laugh because the hell will freeze over before I wait 4 years for them to stop using my FBI folder as a coaster for the coffee mug and check out what they have inside.
