Chicago IL - N-400 Timeline

tatar80 did make it clear why he/she was denied the first time: he/she did not meet continuous residency requirement.

thank you Bobsmyth.... btw if you don't mind sharing, have you contacted USCIS recently? What is your suggestion, calling or infopass? I think I would start getting nervous if by the end of June I don't get IL at all... what do you think?
 
My applicaton has been denied, because I submitted N400 to early. They scheduled my fingerprints and interview. The interview was very short. I passed English test, and the IO asked me some questions from application. He said, he can't make a decission right now, because his boss must take a look at my case. I did not have a chance to defend myself. "We have a lot of applicants right now and I have no time to take a look at this. We will send you decision in next 2 weeks" - he said. Period. After 2 weeks I received a decision that my application has been denied, because of continoius residence requirements.
I submitted second application couple days later (January 16, 2008) and I have not received my fingerprint appointment. About a week ago I called USCIS, and I talked to IO. (It was a big problem to transfer me by Representative to IO). IO told me, that my previous fingerprints are valid for 15 months and I won't get second appointment. Also he said, I have to wait right now for letter with interview date.

thank you tatar80... hope you get your IL soon. It is really excruciating when we keep waiting and when we ask USCIS they don't want to tell us the absolut timeline...

Hi chitown08, keep up the good data collection you're doing on this form..it's great info.
I last spoke to an IO over the phone 2 days ago. In my opinion , the IO over the phone has the same info as IO at Infopass. It may be tricky to get an IO over the phone since not every service rep will transfer you to one.
I think you will get IL by end of April early May for an interview by end of May early June based on the 100 day processing timeframe they have given you on your notice.

Thank you for your encouragement Bobsmyth... it is really a fresh air getting an approximate timeline IL ID forecast from experienced IPFer like you. I was thinkin the worse could happen such as waiting for another 12mos...:eek:
I will keep you updated when May-June comes.... my fingers crossed...
and GoodLuck to you too Bobsmyth, I think you have been VERY Patiently Waiting for your IL and ID so far...
 
Hi Guys,

I have called USCIS at (800) 375 – 5283 couple of days to enquire about my status. PD(02/11/08) The lady said that she has no updates for me and my case is pending. She said she doesn't even see my FP updates.

Is this the correct number, Looks like Pleasetellmywhy could able to get his updates by calling someone. Who/What is IO ? Would you please update with phone number that I can call to get an update on my case.
Just curios because I have plans of going to India in June and if my interview date is scheduled when I am in India.

Thanks

... I hear you nandamuru...
What ?? How could USCIS cannot even see your FP update? Are you talking to a CSR or IO? ... I can't believe you get that kind of answer... let's wait until pleasetellmewhy shed some lights.
There must an effort that pleasetellmewhy do differently when he/she talk to CSR or pleasetellmewhy probably call USCIS more than 1 time to be able to speak with a IO who Really Knows whats going on in his/her case....
 
Actually, I just call USCIS toll free number and then push 1, 2, 6 to connect with someone in customer service rep.; however, not everytime I called would be able to be transferred to speak with immigration officer.

There were number of times the customer service refused to escalate the call to IO, eventhough they failed to locate my receipt number in their data, and because my case is less than 7 months old. I believe USCIS tends to train them in that way. (I worked in call center before and understand well about the call center technique.)

But the last called I made on 04/09, I believe the customer service reps are not trained like the ones I previous talked with. Once they can not find my receipt number, they were happy to transfer me.

I guess we all need the LUCK for being transferred to speak with IO.

Well, as today I still not receive the interview letter yet. :eek:
 
Update fo Chicago DO... great news received from chigc2002 :)
