Should I expect the approval after or before the FP? I called USCIS today and they had no record of the FP notice.
Anyone with a lawsuit against USCIS or thinking about a lawsuit (Merged)

From my experience with the USCIS customer service, they are behind on updating their information. When I received the call from the AUSA about the approval of my N-400. I called USCIS to confirm and they had no record of the approval. Give them few days and call them back

Correct, when I called them for my oath letter, they don't even have any info that shows am done with my interview and all they know is still received and pending. After interview I believe we should only contact local DO.
Ombudsman's office responded. Should I wait?
I've been preparing for the WOM since February. Employment based EB2, 485 pending for 2.5 years. I sent lots of letters out in Feb-March. Now I got replies from Senator's office and congressman's office saying my case is under review, wait 90-120 days.
Last Monday I got a call from the Ombudsman's office asking for 140 case number. After getting that the agent pulled my 140 while I was on the phone. And then told me yes everything looks ok, PD current, 140 approved, etc. She will send an email to USCIS and I will receive a written notice from Ombudsman's office on what they find. She could not give me any ETA. A week later I received a letter from Ombudsman's office, looked more like an acknowledgement. It says wait for 45 days.
Now should I wait? There is a somewhat urgent situation here. My husband, the primary applicant, has been with his employer for 9 years. But several days ago this company was acquired. The acquisition is expected to finish in several months. There might be layoffs anytime. I really want to get my GC ASAP.
Could you please advice? Thank you!

Do not delay, file WOM and get your GC in 1-2 months. There is no point in waiting. Nothing happened after Ombudsman's inquiry in my case.
Finally: I have decided to negotiate with AUSA and proceed further
Well I called my lawyer back yesterday and asked if he had withdrawn the case. He said no, he was waiting for my final approval. I instructed him not to withdraw and now I am trying to find and contact my ex so she can be interviewed over the phone by AUSA staff. Hopefully, the interview goes well and AUSA keeps his promise to request USCIS to approve N-400. what is the likelihood of that heppening. Its been almost 2 1/2 years that I have filed my N-400 and still no luck. any response is welcome.

USCIS always pins thier mistakes on aliens
an immigration attorney told me recently that "you know unless you become citizen, you do not have much rights in this country" she was perfectly correct. USCIS always pins their mistakes on aliens. The alien has to go through hoops to clear their mistakes and they still do not say "oops" we did a mistake. Can obama do some thing about it. May be in next 4 years, as the whole department is upside down.

I saw people mentioning adding the director of local field office. I am in Orange County, California, Central District. Then I should add "Ms. Jane Arellano, District Director, USCIS, Los Angeles"?
My 485 is with TSC. That's why I had TSC director in there.
Thank you!

Do I need to include USCIS District Director? My zip code is 92656. Could somebody please help me to look up the name and address? Thank you very much!
Another qustion: two plantiffs?
My husband's 485 and my 485 were submitted together, EB2 employment based, he is the primary. Should I list both names as plaintiffs? Say
Husband's name
Wife's name
Plaintiffs
v.
Defendant list
and then in the complaint document always use 'plaintiffs' when applicable?
Thank you!

Yes you should both be listed as plantiffs since you are both seeking relief from the court
WHAT?! Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident?
I finally started to file the WOM. Asked a couple questions here, wrote my first draft complaint yesterday, busy with refining it and planed to post it here today. Then just now I got the email: "Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident"
"On May 13, 2009, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."
This means I got the GC, right?
You know what, as someone mentioned before, I do believe USCIS monitors this thread. haha.

Thank you
I want to say special thank you to the people here. Especially Lazycis and jefkorn. You guys not only provide professional advises. More importantly, the encouragement. Everybody here had been through all the frustration with USCIS. And we were (at least I was) unsure about what would happen with the WOM, whether or not I will be able to handle those legal stuff. ‘Mandamus’, ‘Venue’, ‘Summons’, those were like foreign language to me. You guys are here ensuring, encouraging and helping people, made me to believe that I can do it.
We all come to the thread, asking questions, and then after a couple months got what we wanted and leave. But you guys are always here. I can’t express how much I appreciate it.

To all Experts here on the forum ie Lazycis, Jefkorn and others:
I had posted here few months ago and finally have to decided to go WOM way. I have my inital draft all ready with few questions;
I will be filing in Eastern District of Pennsylvania. DO you guys have any idea how is ED of PA with WOM cases. It will be N-400 no interview case.
Who is the local US District attorney that I need to add as an defendant, if any?
Do you guys have name of Philadelphia District USCIS Officer's and do I need to add him/her on the defendant list.
Do you guys have a completed Civil Cover Sheet that I can refer to? I am confused on which boxes am I suppose to check ( I know I sound pretty dork?) for some items?
Thank you for your help.

Congrats Ohreally
Thank you mustafa34kc! And thank you for answering my questions. I told myself yesterday that after I am done with this, I will stick around and help others, just like what mustafa34 is doing. But guess I won't be very fluent on the process after all. But I still hope I can stick around at least to encourage people.
