Any September filers?

Congratulations Omorpheus and PandaExpress on your interview letters and FP notice.

Well yesterday I had some good news waiting as well i.e. my FP notice was waiting in the mail. the ND is 10/31 and the FP date is 11/28

I guess this does show a pattern with San Jose i.e. FP notices are mailed about 2 weeks after u get your interview letter. Based on my prediction omorpheus you should most probably get your FP notice by Nov 19th.
 
Thanks to sarvalokesh & omorpheus for your quick response regarding my concern.. However, after my FP was done, I saw the same LUD after 2 days.. but the msg did not change... after week I came to know that my lawyer got RFE for I-485...

However, wish me good luck so that this time can be a positive one.. IL, I hope.. :)Thanks to all.
 
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?

Hope so... if your NC bebomes clean, you should get your GC after 2-4 weeks after the Interview..

You should get only one FP receit which will contain both receit number.. one for I-485, and the other one is for I-765. Good luck everyone.:)

I had opened a service request as well.

Also, the FP notice is for both I-765 and I-485.
 
FP again

Congratulations for all people here who made progress in their cases. :) I see it is moving for San Jose filers. Good news! I am still waiting for FP notice though. Just called USCIS and opened a SR, it seems there is nothing to do at this point except this and waiting. I am hesitating to schedule a INFOPASS since my mom had over stayed for quite a while, don't want any hastle for that.

9/28/07: Sent I-130 and I-485 on through priority mail. :)
10/5.2007, I-485 check cashed
9/30/2007, RD (got it on 10/09/07)
10/4/2007, ND (got it on 10/09/07) :)
10/10/2007, I-130 check cashed
11/06/2007, called USCIS, opened a SR.

Hi justindian_03,

Do you think your opened SR helped you on getting any notice?

Thanks!

Hi Pandexpress!

Thank you so much for sharing your information! It looks like the SR you filed helped! By receiving the letter regarding the service request is very encouraging!

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.

gcforparents8,

I do not think it made a difference in my case (because with San Jose DO, there seems to be an emerging pattern that FP is send out a couple of weeks after the interview letter) but I am sure it does not cause any harm i.e. I would definitely recommend that for everyone who has been waiting for more than 30 days since the RD.

Hope this helps.
 
Hi justindian_03,

Thanks for the explanation! Before you opened the SR, the FP letter was already in processing, correct? And before you receive your interview letter, you did not have to do anything (like INFOPASS, calling USCIS, etc)?

I think service request makes a difference. That is the reason pandaexpress got his FP letter along with Interview letter not a couple of weeks later as it will be for rest of us.

I think USCIS has some issues and they don't have any one to report to, so they work like any other govt. agency. Open service request and in 2 weeks u get a letter. Anyways, they have to respond within 30 days to an SR ;)

Also, INFOPASS in SJ is useless except to check Name check clearance. All the info provided by INFOPASS during my citizenship and even for this FP was all bullshit. The agent yesterday told me that he has opened a request for me by emailing but when we called today, there was no SR. :mad: Now I have lost all the trust in INFOPASS :( :mad:
 
I think Service Request helped in my case because the day after I filed the SR they mailed out a SR reply saying they had just entered my info in the FP system waiting to be scheduled an appointment.
Then the day after that, since my info is waiting in line for FP scheduling, the ASC SJ scheduled my FP and mailed out the notice right away.

The key is to have them enter your info to the biometrics system so so the SJ ASC computer is triggered to schedule your appointment.
