Here\'s my interaction with the IIO - am interested in your feedback
We visited CSC personally as v were not able to get thru on the phone. Looks like the IIOs on the counter are more inexperienced than their couterparts that man the phones. Anyhoo, when I asked her the status of my case she said that our background checks were received on 1/29 (my AVM says "On 12/29...Processing resumed"
, and were clear. I forgot to ask her about the difference between the AVM date and the date she gave me. On one of the postings though, someone had written (based on their own phone conversation with an IIO), that this could mean that the "Processing resumed" date is the date that the FP reports are sent by the FBI to the INS and the other date that the IIO gave me was the date that all other background checks are received by them (maybe a more detailed check done by the FBI).
When I asked her if my case was assigned to an officer, she did not seem to understand what I meant by assigned (or maybe she was just pretending not to understand). When I asked her if she knew when my case would be assigned, she gave me what seemed to be a very std response "you will hear from us in the mail in 120 days". God, it is so frustrating dealing with these guys, I tell you.
Based on the above (and my details in my signature above), can anyone speculate on when I can expect my case to be approved or at least assigned? I plan to visit/call them again in another week or so.
Looks like my signature did not come thru - PD - 05/2000, RD-06/27/2001, ND-08/22/2001, WAC-01-264-#####, EB2, India (Came in on an F, changed status from F to H, back to F and then back to H and now on an EAD - Changed from H to F bcos, 6 yrs were up on H, then became eligible to go back to H (after 2nd F) bcos of 1 yr extension). I never had an interruption of status during all these changes, but I-140 was denied bcos of company financials, but on submitting additional evidence it was approved. Since this may have made my file so thick I just hope that the IIOs who go into the "adjudication room" are not ignoring my file bcos it must be thicker than a couple of telephone books bound together. Anyway I am interested in you\'ll guys feedback. Thanks for taking the time to read this thru.
