@nastassia got my biometrics done on 08/02 and my case status did not change either. Nothing to be worried about.

Did you receive your interview letter?

Also, can you please add your case to the timeline spreadsheet (you can find I link on post #1 of this thread)? That would be extremely helpful for other users.

Thanks.

Hi Mom!

Today I had an interview in SJ office.
They asked several questions about i485, birth certificate with translation, current status (student). My plans about employment and then he said that everything seems fine but he needs a day to finish the case. Then he said that hopefully he will finish by tonight and my status will change and then in 2 weeks I will receive the card.

So the question - how reliable is "everything seems fine" and whether they tell directly what are their concerns?

Thank you!

When they say that, may simply be referring to the AOS application in isolation. You however should have specifically ask if your background check had cleared and if they already requested and received your KCC case file. Sometimes when they say "everything seems fine" the background check clearance may still be pending, or they may still be waiting for the KCC file.

Dear @Sm1smom,

Myself and one other is currently awaiting our ILs for the Queens FO in NYC. Some historical searching it seems this FO is often required to be pushed around this time, with an InfoPass to actually schedule the interviews. I don't believe we are able to request an InfoPass.

I wanted to ask whether there would be any damage at this point requesting an expedite request - if the T1 agent accepts because of time sensitivity? Alternatively I plan to wait another week or so, then try a congressional inquiry and see how that fairs.

Thank you as always for your assistance and guidance

Yeah go ahead and ask for an expedite request, you may get lucky with an agent willing to submit one on your behalf, there's no harm in asking.
 
@Sm1smom Just a quick question. I live in one state and my FO is in other state. If i have to start a congress inquiry, do I use the congressman in my state or my field office congressman? TBH if I have to choose I prefer my FO congressman.

As in about 2 people receiving IL one or two days before they received the bio notice? I don't think that is worth analyzing - may be blame it on USPS?

I meant before the biometric appointment date. some people has got their interview letter way before the biometric scheduled date.

That is because the NBC schedules the bio appointment, the FO schedules the interview appointment. The FO can decide to schedule the interview appointment way before the NBC schedules the bio appointment. If you've been keep track of postings in the forum, you would have read of reports about people going in for their interview while they're yet to be scheduled for the bio.

Do you mean your listed home address falls under the jurisdiction of a FO in a different State from the one where you reside? If yes, you contact the congress person with jurisdiction over your home address.
 
Hey, Chicago guys! Does our FO know about DV time sensitivity? Can we talk with our FO agents and influence on that without congressional inquiry?

Thanks Mom!

But if anything is bad, do they say? I mean if something is not consistent in their opinion, do they say this, or they will always say "Everything seems fine"?

Dallas FO has been scheduling interview like that before completion of biometric as per the timeline, so, is it safe to analyze that Dallas FO does schedule interview even before getting the biometric done?

They can say anything they feel is appropriate. I can’t guess what they may or may not say.

Hey Sultiik, I have no idea, but you can ask a tier 1 agent to submit an inquiry on your behalf to the FO.

PS1: You can use @ before my handle to summon me and other Chicago gangs.

PS2: Please add your info on the timeline. Will help others to have an idea.

Accept or refuse? What did you ask them?

EDIT: Oh I see you are from another FO. Different FOs function differently. Chicago FO might be quick.

If that is the thread you've observed, then yes that can be the conclusion.
