Attn: Syed
First of all, I\'m no expert in this area as my fiance came with his green card and this citizenship trial has been my first experience with the INS. In my humble opinion, it might be wise to speak to a supervisor or seek out the advice of a lawyer (the last step in my book). Pertaining to your "pending" status, did they say that your fingerprints passed the FBI? I\'m wondering if this pending status is eluding to something else in your file. You know the ethnic profiling every government agency is doing nowadays, and you like my fiance may have fallen victim to it(and here we thought the Atlanta district was better than say Detroit or even So. California). It appears that women are being processed much more quickly than their male counterparts, from what I can tell.
Maybe someone else can give a more informed opinion, but if my fiance is where you were at, he would have asked to speak to a supervisor immediately. Also, doesn\'t the fact that your timeline is so out of wack warrent such an investigation or at least better answers. In saying this I recall the TSC phone message that states that if you\'re wait time is not past that time that was on your original mailed notice, then they can\'t talk to you. My advice is go down there again and get the answers you require and deserve. As for the dyed haired lady, avoid her, she seems to have no clue that she even works in the customer service field much less for the INS.
Best of Luck and keep us posted. I\'ll ask my fiance what he thinks might be the problem, if it\'s anything different than what I\'ve said, I\'ll report. His atttitude about this whole ordeal is "insha\'allah". All this as his mother has had several medical problems and has traveled to France for surgury. It\'s been a burden to stay positive. Please stay positive, it will all work out in the end.
