Congratulations! :)

So now we have a concrete data-point of VSC-Boston serving a PD of 7/9/2007. I would not have expected this given the May 18th date they put on their website a little more than a week ago.

ml_boston - did you do anything special to expedite the process?

Well technically the case isn't processed until AFTER the interview is completed. So my bet is that when the April 15 postings go up, Boston will be past the 7/19/2007 date. They are just setting up interview notices now, not working on the cases. :) Its all about technicality!
 
I didn't do anything special to expedite.

Based on other posts here, my timeline from priority date to interview is 15 days earlier than April/May PDs were experiencing. But I also noticed relatively few late-May and June PD's on this forum (and a large number of July PDs).

Maybe Boston had its spike in applications later than other offices.

Sleek who has a PD of 31st May still hasn't gotten an interview letter (as of his post of 31st Jan), while your PD of 9th July has. I don't understand this at all.

I wish more of the readers of this thread with Boston D.O and May/June/July/Aug PDs (and I'm sure there are) would post their timelines.

This restores my faith in Priority Dates :) (see my previous post)
 
May 8 still waiting

I went once , they said it is in the range of the normal processing times.
Old Chinese guy at the office told me I can come again if I want to spent my time.
My wife got her IL a month ago.
It is depressing.
 
inkom : Your PD is passed the normal processing time. USCIS website says its may 18th for boston DO. Your PD is may 8th. If i were you i will take immediate infopass appt and ask the IO below questions.

1. Is my name check cleared or not.
2. Where is my file right now. Is it in vermont or transferred to boston.
 
The next info pass

I am planning to go there soon, right on my wife's interview day, so I can make a hard case by comparing two cases. Right now, they do not take an inquiry unless the current processing date passed 30 days from your PD. This is why they are saying it is normal processing time.

Thank you

Soontobe: Welcome.....to the machine!

(most of you probably got the reference. For those who dont, it's from Pink Floyd's "The Wall" a work of genius which seems strangely appropriate to this USCIS experience)

Looks like you, oroper, and I are neck to neck with our Priority Dates, hopefully we all get IL's at the same time!

"Welcome to the Machine" is the second song on Pink Floyd's 1975 album "Wish You Were Here".:rolleyes:

Let's keep our facts straight on this site.
Thanks for the invite.
