AOS Interview Timeline

Davi, I agree with you in make an appoitment in the USCIS> In my case, it is not taking so long like your, I just applied for AOS on July 2005 but I could talk to a FBI representative who told me that they already sent all the information about my fingerprinting and name check back to the USCIS> I don't know what is going on but, since October (fingerprinted) I didn't receive any other letter from USCIS, even my Status case online had been changed. Now, I will make an appointment at USCIS to see what is going on. IF everything is already ready, what they are wainting for?? Maybe, I have lucky and they will approval my AOS without interview. My lawyer told me that this could be possible, due the circunstances about my case.

Good luck for you in your process!!

What's your District Office?

I applied in the National Benefits Center, also known as Missouri Center. My fringerprinting was taken in New Rochelle, NY.

I might have read somewhere that you live somewhere in Connecticut, which means that Hartford, CT is your district office.

According to the CIS website, the wait for an interview in Hartford is 1 year. You applied in July, so it's still early for you to get an interview...that is if you clear the name check in time....Gotta wait man...

I am ready with the FBI. MY name was already cleared and my Fingerprinting was ok. I received the confirmation. I contacted my lawyer who said to me that probably I will be one of the lucky guys, without interview. He told me that in 2005 he has been seen some cases, base-marriage, without interview and with the previous B2. He told me it never happenend in the past. So, here I am. By the way in one week I am moving to California and I will change my address, that means, in California all the processess are going fast. Also, my lawyer contacted me and said to me that my case is not in Hartford, CT. I don't know how he figured out. He suggest me as soon I get in California make an appointment at USCIS and talk to the officer, showing my information from FBI.

Thanks

Processing takes time, sometimes years. I don't understand why you expect them to approve your application ahead of others.... It takes a lot of time for you and others. Another thing I don't understand is why you're so afraid of the interview....IF you don't have anything to hide, then why sweat it?

So you've heard of 2 people getting approved without interview, considering the hundreds of thousands of family based adjustment of status applications processed in a year, you shouldn't get your hopes up. Lawyers are the last people I would trust in this process....

And if you live in Connecticut, then your DO is not going to be St.Louis or Atlanta, it's probably either Hartford, Boston, New York, or Portland.
 
Washington DC/ Fairfax, VA timelines

Ari,

Thanks very much for maintaining the timeline and also all your help in this forum. At one point, I was considering AOS for my parents (DO would have been Fairfax, VA) and hence I was tracking timelines posted by users in Fairfax DO. I noticed that some of the timelines I picked up in other threads are not in the tracker. Could you please add them? One of the threads is

http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=201068

User - ND - Interview

jsnearline - 3/17/05 - 1/30/06
Glacier05 - 8/12/05 - 3/29/06
njoshi18 - 8/25/05 - ---
smartspider - 10/6/05 - ---
jimmyc - 11/7/06 - ---

Now I am moving forward with CP for my parents. However these timelines maybe of use to others.

CIS calls it Washington DC DO however it is located in Fairfax, VA. I noticed that currently you have an entry under District of Columbia and another entry for Fairfax, VA under state "Virginia". Could you please put them all under one (e.g. Dist of Columbia) and add a note next to other (e.g. Virginia -please refer to Dist of Columbia for Fairfax, VA DO timelines).

Thanks.

Thank you for you concern. First, I am not afraid of any interview. I really don't care. Second, why have interview so early for hundreds people if they have to wait months or years to have their name cleared?? I am ready with everything. I am very lucky!! My name is cleared, my fingerprinting is ok. Third, my lawyer is from my family. I am not spending money with him and I trust him 100%. The only thing that I really are worried in get my GC as soon as possible is because I just lost an excellent job opportunity because they were requesting GC, due the international trips for the Company. They said to me that they couldn't hire me without GC because just with the AP letter, I will take a risk travelling many times outside the US. They like my Background a lot but, it is a policy of the COmpany. Is my professional life depending of this document?? Of course I can find another job, but I was working as a Manager in Brazil, traveling alround the Latin America. And I was studying for that position.

Thank you again for trying to help me

Lots of people here on this forum (including me) lost those golden oppurtunities to get that perfect job just because we did not have our EAD or GC approved at that time. There is no choice but to blame it on your luck or fate or karma or whatever you want to call it instead of blaming it on the USCIS. There is always a better job tomorrow. Immigration has never been an easy process (for most of us) and there are people still waiting patiently for years to get their name cleared and GC approved, so what makes you think USCIS would jump out of the line and approve your GC before others?

It takes time for things to get rolling and going by your posts, i guess you dont have an idea of the volume of applications that USCIS gets every year and how FBI is overwhelmed with namecheck requests from across the nation and overseas too. I wont tell you relax and be patient, you gotta understand that. Things are not in your control.

Im not sure if you understand that fingerprinting and name check/background check/security check are different processes. Getting your fingerprints cleared doesnt mean that FBI has approved your case. It only means that your fingerprints did not match the criminal database and you are not wanted within US. Namecheck process consists of investigating your profile with 35 other agencies the FBI works with and see if you are on their wanted list. A part of the investigation involves the US embassy in your coutry to check if you have a "rap sheet" in your own country.

I wont tell you not to trust your lawyer. If he says that you have cleared your FBI namecheck, then listen to him. If you think you are the thrid person on a B visa to be approved without an interivew, then im happy for you. Take care, i have nothing else to say to you except "All the Best".

Please, see my information about FBI fingerprinting and FBI name check. I know perfectly that there are two things that need to be done. This start after September 11th, that means, the FBI and USCIS are working harder know about this subject. My FBI fingerprinting was cleared 2 min after I made it, and sent back to USCIS> My name checked was cleared on January 30th, 2006. Yes, I had luck!! Please, see information about how to contact the FBI in the page 17. I know many people are not having lucky in contact the FBI. I could receive the information. So good luck everyone!!

Please, I think you didn't read some previous post about me. I know perfectly that there are two ways that need to be done between the FBI and USCIS. First is the FBI fingerprinting. My was done 2 min after I had my fingerprinting taken and it was sent back to USCIS. Second is the FBI name check. My was complete on January 30, 2006. Yes, I hade lucky. Please, see information about how to contact the FBI and try to obtain information from them. I heard that many people didn't have luck in receive details from them.

Good Luck everyone!!!
 
AOS interview

Plz update my timeline I have got my interview date set on may 2 2006 in Long Island NY at 7 AM ??? man thats early.
 
Case transferred to CSC

Hello Everybody!! Today I talked to a USCIS representative by phone and I figured out that my case where transfered to CSC (California Service Center). I don't know what this means. Detail: my Status case Online didn't has been change since my first message. She told me, due the backlog, some cases are being selected to the CSC. I have no idea..I don't know if it is good or bad. The representative didn't give me details.

My fingerprinting completed 4 months and, after that, no USCIS news.
So, it is time to wait for the AOS interview. I just care about not being waiting for years.. I hope I have Luck.

Please, somebody has some idea what this means??

Thanks

I was reading on USICS website..cant remember where but it said that they are sending some cases to california and giving it a CSC number . In these cases you dont get a initial intervew as they seem like bona fide cases and they just give you the 2 year Green card and you will be called for the real interview after your cond 2 year period is about to be over..si I guess it is good news...
Best of luck and keep us updated..

Thak you very much for your information. Well, it would be a big surprise to me if I will not have the first interview..Anyway, the funny think is that the USCIS didn't send me any letter about it and even my Status online was changed. I think, once a week I have to call the USCIS. Today I wait in line 35 min by a representative.

I hope to receive news soon, even with an AOS interview needs to be done.

Good Luck everyone!!
 
What after Name Check Pending clears ??? !!!

Hi guys,
I got my interview done today, everything went well. But as the officer said that there is good news and bad news, he wanted to approve me but the name check is pending. I know from many posts that there is no sure way to know how long, but the officer was being nice and said he will try to rush it, good if he can. Anyways, my question is that what happens after the name check clears and is completed. He said that I would get a letter and I have to go with my passport get it stamped and return EAD and AP. He also said that if I am not in hurry, then I can wait and they would just send the original Conditional Card in few weeks. So is this true? Or will have to go back with all my documents again? Please give me some insight!!!, this is just too much as i live 4 hrs from the DO and both of us have to take days off from work. Any experience or suggestions would be very helpful. Thanks!!!
