Never recd any letter, just the AVM said about transfer. We waited till July and did not get any letter from INS Chicago for interview. Contacted local senator's office, wasted 3-4 weeks in the process, then contacted local congressman's office and that helped. Today our lawyer got an interview notice for both of us.

We still don't know how it will go because our fingerprints expire before the interview date.

Hope this helps.
 
chicago interview experience

My case is transfered on April 2002 to Chicago INS.
Interview date was August 2002. so approxiametly four months..but I had friends who had their interview dates in 2 months.

I wasn`t approved or denied on that day..they said they will review the file and will mail a decision letter soon. They took fingerprinting and the signature for the physical card, I guess. Don`t know when we willll get the letter..waiting goes on.But at least I did what I had to do , took the interview and I know where my file is.I will post as soon as I hear something.

But I felt like it is pretty easy process. You go to the 2nd floor on Dearborn st. You wait until your name is announced. You go one floor up and then continue waiting for the officer to come and welcome you to her/ his office. Very friendly and kind attitudes. YOu just need to take every document and answer them clearly.
Hope it helps. Good luck.
 
for 485PLEASE

go to www.congress.gov and find the local congressman. Call their office and sometimes they have a designated office which deals with INS.

At least the people that we dealt with were very helpful, prompt and courteous (unlike senator Fitzgerald's office in Chicago)

and the case worker who deals with INS is
