Hey natta,
Did you come to the US as a J-2 by any chance? That would definitely explain why you got a SSN. As opposed to F-2s or jobless F-1s, J-2s can get the SSN based solely on their status, which allows them to work (full time if I am not mistaken). It cannot be a Vermont thing, because these things are dealt with at the federal level, and I am pretty sure that after 9/11, the same time the SEVIS system was implemented, SSN were not made available that easily anymore.

First, thanks to nncu for posting the link sooner.
As a reference, both the spreadsheet and the website are linked from the first page of this thread, bottom of post #2.
The graphs are dynamically created when you open the page. They read the data from the 'stats' sheet of the spreadsheet. In turn, the 'stats' sheet is automatically updated every night based on the data in the main sheet. Thus, the graphs are at most one day behind.
Current in October
Hello All,
I have been a silent guest observer of this forum for a couple of Months now. I am an Adjust of Status Case and got Current in October 2010. I am on H1B. It has been 4 months since I applied and 3 months since I completed Biometrics. I called FBI after Biometrics to make sure my name was cleared. And they said Yes.
My LUD Status for Adjust of Status has been "Acceptance" Ever since October.
I have done a couple of Infoapss to my Field Office, and the answer has been "they are waiting my file from State Department".
I call KCC - they say Jacksonville FO has not requested my file. I am getting frustrated and seems I have nothing in my hands or control. Can anyone advice what to do in such situation. Has anyone from Jacksonville, FL had similar bad experiences. Even the i-485 processing times for them is 4 months, Which has been met in my case.
I read only Boston people were having similar problems.

Hey guys, I was gone for few days, but as I see many good news lately. Congrats Vezuha and PBZ. Vezuha I am happy for you for the fast aproval and easy interview. PBZ, really good that you went back and insisted on the interview as sometimes you have to insist and to go there as many times as possible, good you did that and it worked out for you.
Hey nncu, I came in Vermont in August 2006 on F1 visa directly and never had a different status beside F1 as I got aproved for college while I was at home (long story). I got the SSN right away when I came, I applied for a work permit in summer of 2007 based on economic hardship and got it in January 2008 which was good till December 2008 and then I applied for another one in January 2010 again based on economic hardship, at a different college this time. SO I don't know if it is different now or not, or if it is a Vermont thing only, I know that J1's get the SSN easily right when they come to US.

Enviro, in my opinion you should make infopass and ask at your local USCIS office what is going on. I did the same before I got my Interview letter.
I can not say that this is help much but definitely you will get something. Just try to do it.
To make signature you have go to Settings (top menu) and on the left you will find menu that will allow to do it.

Please check https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=tNhB2CVZoq1u42Zedti0PLw&hl=en&authkey=CKu6h5UN#gid=0 and add you case there too...
I think you should make infopass and let them know what KCC told you....Also you might want to raise Service Request with USCIS by calling their National Customer Number if you are sure your case has exceeded normal processing time...

That sucks. It is dumb, but not unexpected from USCIS.
You may try feel's suggestion, it is worth trying to call the national customer service number (800-375-5283) to open a service request. These are the steps from memory (I tried it last Friday):
After you dial press 1 for English, then option 2 for checking case status or report a problem. After you hear an audio recording of what you can also see online, you can press option 3 to report a problem. At this point you are connected with a customer service representative. Write down her name and ID and the time of the call in case you'll need it later.
But they do not even see that your file has been transferred to the local office. They only see that it made it to NBC and that they sent an appointment for biometrics. Thus, they cannot determine if your case is outside the normal processing time for your office.
On the other hand, it is easy to pick up the phone and make a call. I think it depends also on who answers at the other end. Hopefully, some representatives are more helpful.
SRs are slow, even if you manage to open one. Some people did not even get an answer in 45 days, what they typically tell you to wait.
You should continue scheduling infopasses and ask nicely to talk with a supervisor. The first tier people are not very knowledgeable. Ideally, you would like to talk to one of the interviewing officers. You must convince them that they have to request the KCC file. KCC is not going to send the file otherwise. It is definitely painful to wait, but luckily you still have plenty of time.
Hi everyone I also congratulate all who got approved and interview letters,
I am still waiting for decision,it has been already over a month since my interview,and three month since the Acceptance.I made a infopass after two weeks of my interview and they told me it takes time for this case.I checked the processing time for I-485 at our FO,and it says 4 month.I guess i will wait one more month.
And what do you think?

Thanks Feel and Baobab for your suggestions. I have updated the spreadsheet with my details. I had also hored a lawyer for my case from beginning, but that has'nt helped at all. I will talk to my lawyer on the official service request thing and see what he says. I already took an Infopass appointement for coming Tuseday also.
Thanks

Sorry to hear about your trouble Enviro. My FO is Jax as well and my biometrics is scheduled for Feb. 15.
In this forum, for Jax, FL:
- Izzy's case had 1.5 months between biometrics and CPO (no interview).
- Chenthittayil had 1.5 months between biometrics and the interview letter.
Your waiting time so far is really high by any standard and i have no clue how your lawyer is helping you in your case. What i suggest besides calling NCS would be to bug them (nicely) with infopasses, especially if you live close to Jax. You may have to check the minimal time allowed between two infopasses as well.
Good luck! Hopefully we'll be fine.
