If it makes you feel any better I have an EU number in Indy and I got my NOA almost a month before them, and I still haven't got a bio or interview letter either!

Thank you for that info @coffeemonster. After submitting congressional inquiry we have now been scheduled for an interview on Aug 03, finally! Our inquiry from the office was made on June 24, received a notice about the inquiry from USCIS on June 28 and the interview notice was issued on July 01.

Hello @Youn , @onero , @jasperrrr.c , @Gamzes , and @dapapa . I see that we are the last people with NOA letter date in May that have not received any appointment letters yet. Would you guys mind sharing what actions are you guys taking?

As for myself, I tried submitting an expedite request and requesting a tier 2 call back.

Hey! We've requested a callback too but it's been more than 2 weeks since then...so I don't put much hope in it. We've also submitted an inquiry to a PA person from the House of Representatives to help with USCIS as a federal agency. I only got a confirmation of the privacy release so far so they could contact USCIS on my behalf. I have no idea why Philly has been so slow :( According to the spreadsheet, it was way faster in the summer of 2020 when covid was still a huge prob while now the majority of the city is fully vaccinated :(

I did congressional inquiry to NY senator. They told me they are waiting from USCIS. On Thursday, I asked whether or not they heard back from USCIS, no reply yet. I guess, they are still waiting from USCIS. It has been more than 2 weeks that I started the inquiry, though. I am getting used to of waiting. Uscis has taught me an important skill. I don't do anything nowadays.

You’re overthinking this imo. It doesn’t matter at the end of the day.

I've been waiting for a Tier 2 call back for 12 days.
I will contact my lawyer on 7/12 and see what he can do and probably make a congressional inquiry on 7/16.

I got an email after call that said I should expect the call within 20 calendar days. So you'll hopefully receive it this week :oops:

Just to clarify, s/he is congresswoman/man for your congressional district?

yes, the website asks for a zip code, and only after that allows to submit an inquiry. I got "within 14 days" timeframe no matter whether business or calendar it's now beyond it :rolleyes:
 
Hi,
I am a DV lottery winner. Me and my spouse have submitted form I-485 and I need to clarify one thing on behalf of my friend who is going through the same DV process as me. My friend is the principal applicant and both my friend, and her spouse are currently resident in the USA, under F1-student visa. My friend is a 2020-2021 DV lottery winner. Her number became current in June,2021 and, both my friend and her spouse submitted form I-485 in June and have received the NOA. My friend is going through some family problems and has decided to go for a divorce. They have not received bio-metrics appointments or interview date yet. If they file for a divorce, how would it affect their ability to get the green card?

Thank you!

Why are you trying to contact a congress person outside of your district?
Click to expand...
because I sent the letter to the one congressman who is in my district he didn’t get me back for 3 weeks already. He only allow people who need USCIS help send the request letter to him. I am not sure if I can wait for that long.

Once your friend files for divorce, she will need to disclose that when she goes in for her interview. The IO (assuming the divorce has not been finalized at that point) will make the determination if her spouse is still eligible to be approved as her derivative or not.

Congress people represents the people within their districts only. I don’t see how a congress person without oversight over your district will be willing or open to take on whatever issue you have, regardless of how pro immigration that congress person is.

Thanks for sharing!

:cool: I just wake up to check my informed delivery and then hope that I could skip to the next day!

Not that it makes much difference, but it made me feel better when I realized that informed delivery often misses things. They missed my interview letter so it was a nice surprise when it came. So you actually have 2 chances for good news every day :)

Hello Dears,

I forgot to attach form I-824 with my AOS package - What I have to do to notify the embassy of my status when I get approval?
because you know that deadline is very close

Best,
 
Hello everyone,

I have a quick question for the form I-134: 11-b, my sponsor doesn't have his citizenship certificate with him. As an alternative should he write his passport number instead? or should I just write "N/A".

Thanks everyone

Mom said you can take it with you during interview with payment and try to submit. although there is someone here who tried that and IO said he had to submit to lockbox.

I didn’t say one could take the I-824 with the payment to the interview. The FO will not accept an I-824 payment AFAIK. What I had suggested was to take the I-824 along to the interview to see if the IO would accept it. I seem to recall one or two FTJ filers were able to hand in the form in the past, while a couple of others didn’t even submit the file (or file it with their AOS package), their IO simply worked with them by transferring their case file to the embassy after their AOS approval once they informed the IO they had a FTJ case.
