Thanks a lot man for digging the information and find me a phone number.
I will call them after my Interview day. I will try to stay optimistic till that day.
I wish there was a way around this carzy situation...
Why wait until 5/8 when you can call them now to see if they can expedite and send your case file to your DO so that you can actually take your interview on 5/8 instead of having to wait until after interview date.

Bobsmyth, you are missing the point. I think Nimche doesn't want to give them an impression and make it official that he already knows about the cancellation of his interview. This is the reason he will show up for the interview next month.
Showing up for interview and in the hopes that the case file miraculously made it to the DO is one thing, calling the service center and requesting them to make sure it does get sent to the DO is another. I'm just suggesting he nudge the service center before going to the interview instead of riding it shot gun. I really don't see how that can hurt his cause.Bobsmyth, you are missing the point.

I get your point and I think it is right.
I will give it a shot and see what will happen.
Thank you for your input.
That's a really scary thought. The possibility of having to deal with them through a WOM seems more and more real.
How can you file WOM when even interview is not done? I thought WOM applies only when 120 days have past the interview and oath letter has not been sent. I don't think there is any legal provision to file WOM before interview howsoever long you may have been waiting.

I see your point
I agree with you and see your point. For a second I forgot these little idiots (cust service) don't communicate with these big idiots (at local DO). Yes, Bobsmyth is right, do what it takes to expedite your case so the file can get to your local DO and show up there on that original interview date.

You're referring to 1447(b). WOM, in general, is a lawsuit used to obtain a judicial order for any government agency (not just USCIS, it could be anything from the DMV to the IRS) to do its job. The USCIS posted 10.1 months as the processing timeframe for the NYC DO N-400 applications filed in the summer of 2007. The is a self-imposed timeline that was voluntarily published by the USCIS. If an applicant has cleared all background checks, was placed in queue for interview, and his/her application has been languishing for more than 10.1 months since the PD, the the USCIS is NOT doing it's job. Therfore, a WOM would most certainly be an appropriate measure.

The timelines posted by USCIS are not legally binding. Last time I talked to the customer service I had asked them the relevance of these timelines/dates and they had clearly mentioned that these are just an estimate and approximations and cannot be treated as self-imposed timelines etc. Infact when you call the USCIS the automated speech that the rep gives you has such a statement about the timelines. Besides they also mention that these are just "averages" which means some cases can take longer time as well based on namecheck clearance or even admin problems.
Bottomline is that the processing dates are NOT legally binding on them and you cannot sue them based on those dates. They have their bases well covered on this. You can only file WOM if interview is done and Oath has not been done for 120 days or more.

Not true. There are many people who have filed WOM because they were stuck in name check for more than 18 months, and their application wasn't moving forward. There's a big difference between a WOM and a 1447(b). 1447(b) is what's used to file a WOM if no oath has been conducted for 120 days. A WOM is an entirely different beast altogether. The USCIS can say whatever they want about their timelines. Let's see them convince a judge, especially in light of Judge Baylson's decisions in Philadelphia.

Can you really tell me that you actually BELIEVED what the CSR drones told you?
Next time you park your car in a parking garage, pay attention to all the signs that say "We are not responsible for items left in the car". Not only are the ownership and management of the garage LEGALLY RESPONSIBLE for ALL items left in your car, but they can also be successfully sued to recover the cost of any item that disappeared from your car while it was in their custody. That little sign is only a scare tactic to put some fear into the unenlightened.
BobSmyth,
I called the number and explain the situation in a voice message and I should get a call back.
If you guys are thinking about any keytems which I may tell them when they call me please let me know now.
Thank you guys.
PS: What if the guy call me back and say, sorry your interview has been cancelled and there is nothing we can do about it?

Tell them it's unacceptable to you due to your circumstances and request they send the file to the DO as soon as possible.

Bobsmyth, you really think give a rat's A$$. Why do they care? He should give it a shot but don't expect a whole lot from these idioits.
well, she called. She said this phone number is for only Atorney s and deportion person.
You have to call public, but I explained the whole thing for her and she was really nice and I think she felt bad for me and she said my shift is over and I will call you tomorrow again.
After 10 min. she called again and said that my interview has been de-schduled for June 3rd, 2008.
It is almost 37 days from today and she said that I will get a letter in mail explaining this.
The only reason she said that this problem has happened was that they may over-book interviews in that date.
I guess I was the unlucky one.
BobSmyth thank you for this number at least I know what is going on now.
Peace

OK
I just went to post office and guess what?
Vorpal, I let you guess...
I got the letter as she said,
So, they delayed my interview for 25 days.
Now,
I will go to DO and as some people have suggested here, I will ask them to give me an early time. See if that would work?
Thank you guys.

Now Bobsmyth help me out
Bobsmyth, you da man. Ok, my interview for GC was descheduled as well for this coming May 13th in Atlanta DO. What's your advice for me? How can I follow up on this matter? You and I know that 800 cust service is good for nothing, so what's the next dtep for me?
Yes, at least you know the date of the rescheduled interview. Perhaps you can go to the DO and see if they are willing to move it up..it's worth a try.

Try emailing the Atlanta District director Rosemary Melville at Rosemary.L.Melville@dhs.gov or Rosemary.Melville@dhs.gov and give her a piece of your mind.
