Thanks scarlethawk for the reply.

The Chicago office is saying that the Nebraska office is handling the FP appointments and Chicago office has no info about it.
 
ChicagoBears: please post what you find. goodluck.

By the way, I called the customer service number and I was told that my case is being processed They are saying 4 month delay for FP is fine. I plan to wait until Jan and then get help from a senetor's office.
 
Oh Joy!

Received my Oath letter. It is dated November 27th. Oath is December 19th @ Dirksen Federal Building in downtown.

Congrats! Your process couldn't have gone smoother!! I am stuck in name check unfortunately and I will be doing another infopass at the end of January to see how things go.

Thanks man! Sometimes the process does test your limits, don't let it get you down. It's just a matter of time. Best of luck!

Did you try contacting a U.S. senator for your state and asking for help? If you live in Illinois, I suggest contacting senator Durbin.
His staff seems to be fairly experienced in immigration matters and they have helped a number of people on this board, including myself (when my green card case was stuck and nothing else was working).

I really recommend that you contact senator Durbin. As I said, his staff is much more experienced in handling immigration matters and they have a good track record of helping other people in the past.
 
Congratulations on getting your oath letter. If you don't mind, could you please elaborate your brush with the law that needed a supervisor to adjudicate/approve?
