Hello,
I am going through an excruciatingly long and painful I-485 application process like everyone else these days. Our case got transferred to Chicago Local Office in Aug 03, and I am trying to estimate when I should expect an interview date. So my question is:
1. Does Chicago Office schedule interviews based on the original Receive Date or when it got transferred. Should I expect a 8-11 months wait (that is what I could guage from some of the post) or will be prioritized faster because my notice/receive date is way in the past.
2. Are there any options of expediting the interview ? I see some post regarding 'contact you congress', but does that really help in expediting ? Is there another option as well.
Here are the details of our long, arduous process:
RD - Sept 01
ND - Oct 01
FP #1 - Dec 01
RFE #1 - Sept 02
RFE #2 - May 03
TD - Aug 03
FP #2 - Oct 03
and now more waiting.... 26 months and counting !!
Appreciate the help, and hope the wait gets over as soon as possible for all of us. Good luck.
