sbhoj,
I think tvklovesu wants to enquire to which service center did you file the I-130 application and what is the state of your residence?
Any September filers?

Congratulations on the interview letter, Omorpheus!
Wow now you got me anxious to go home and check my mail since our timelines are so similar.
I actually rescheduled my Inforpass app for tomorrow.
Sorry to hear about the rude IO.
so do you think the appointment today was helpful at all?

Can you share some info on the list?
It can help those of us still waiting to start organizing our PORTFOLIO!Thanks buddy ... Yeah atleast something is proceeding though everything except FP
I am sure the letter would be waiting for you when you check your mail today ...
The appointment was not at all helpful but atleast they emailed them and got a confirmation that they will be scheduling one ... So, atleast they have a record. I would still consider the advice of justindian_03 to open a SR. I will do one myself tomorrow.
Tell us about your INFOPASS tomorrow and do update us with your interview letter .. Good luck ..
Can you share some info on the list?
I will post the list in a day or so ... Too tired for the day. Had to stand in Social security office for 2 hrs just to get my status updated to US Citizen

Good News!
I just received three pieces of mail today from USCIS.
1. Finger Print Notice (Notice Date: 11/1/2007, Appointment Date: 11/15/2007)
2. Interview Letter (Notice Date: Oct 31, 2007, Interview Date: Jan 09, 2008)
3. Service request reply regarding FP. I filed a service request Oct 30, and they mailed me a letter today saying my information had been entered for biometrics
I think the service request did help accelerating FP scheduling.
JustIndian and Omorpheus you guys should definitely try it if you haven't done so already.
Omorpheus, I am still amazed by how synchronized our timelines are.

Sure that will be great. thansk. You may be we ashould consider taking over the uscis administration. We can do much better that they are
Sorry about that 2hr wait. You will think they would have sent all that info to get updated. They should do that, thats why we pay those hefty fees.
Congratulations pandaexpress. 2 good news and both on the same day.
I will also open a service request early tomorrow morning. Can you please tell me the details -- which receipt number to give and what to say to them and was it first level support or the IO in the backend? 5 days response time is too good. I wish I had also opened it up rather than taking INFOPASS twice ...

I just called the same 1800 number and told the front end person (did not reach backend IO) that i haven't received my FP.
And a nice lady filed a service request for me. I didn't even know what a service request was.
The only piece of advice i can give you is to be persistent. If one operator does not file a service request for you, simply hang up and dial again. Dial until you have someone nice and easy. These operators vary a lot from person to person. Some are very strict; others are fairly lenient.
The first time I called, the guy told me to wait until 60days to call (which by the way is actually what they're supposed to tell you).
Then I tried my luck again and this time a less experienced lady simply filed a request for me.
Good luck!

It really doesn't matter which one you give, but I gave them the I765 number
Sridhar,
Its taking about 6 months to get approval of I-130. So, I think you should wait for some more time else you can schedule an INFOPASS.

Good luck ...

Hi WhenDoesItEnd
Today I also saw LUD on my I-485 and I-765 but the message is same as previous one. Since my FP for I-485 and I-765 is done on Nov 3rd I am thinking they have updated the status. May be working on the case.

Maybe they scheduled an interview for you. Wait for a week or so and you will know. Hope it is the good news ...
One more question I have is that I-130 processing time is 6 months and our I-485 interview is less than 4 months from RD. So, do we have to wait for another 2-2.5 months for GC?
