Hi guys, I am so happy.... you cannot believe it. My number became current in November and in fact on November 1st I sent my documents. After so long, (it seems) they finally approve my case, without interview! I want to thank @Sm1smom, he helped me so much. Thanks to his knowledge, I saved a lot of money and I took the right choices.

You’re welcome. Glad to see a successful outcome for you.
p.s. @Sm1smom is a “she” :cool:

Hello, honorable moderator. I have some questions about FO and ASC. I live in the Upstate New York. The closest USCIS location where I did my biometrics is in Syracuse. However, it seems that this location was marked as FO and ASC at the same time on google map. Are all interviews done only in the major FOs like New York City/ Brooklyn? But I saw people commenting that they have done GC interviews in Syracuse office. I am very worried that the huge backlog in the NYC office might spell doom for me as well. I have done my fingerprints in March before the close, and I haven't heard anything yet.

Any USCIS office designated as a FO is capable of conducting interviews, there’s no such thing as a major FO. Cases are assigned to FOs based on the applicant’s home address.

Read more about USCIS FO.

I did online request for “outside of normal processing time” thing and got a response two days ago.
They pretty much said “ your case is pending. You will receive some kind of news regarding your case in next 90 days. If you don’t hear anything in 90 days then contact us again.”

Yeah... that’s really great... in 90 days I won’t even qualify for DV no more. What an awfully stressful last 8 month has been... the amount of grey hairs I got meanwhile would be equivalent for 8 years lol.

Your case is certainly not outside of normal processing time given that everyone is on hold.

Just fyi - someone I know had their DV AOS interview at Fairfax, Virginia. I had my interview on wednesday at Atlanta and I was the only one for aos interview(everyone else we saw in that office were for oath ceremony and citizenship interview)so just to give you some hope uscis is working on Dv cases.

Thank you @pkuma143. Good to know about Fairfax office, which is ours. Interestingly enough - @Sm1smom - the USCIS website seems to have been updated today and no FO locator is available any longer - wonder if it is a temporary glitch or they decided to erase that information from the site.

Probably a temporary omission.
