Hi all,
I am very happy to report to you all that my name check was completed on 7/9/04 (pending since 10/03).
I had also managed to get a very quick interview date from the USCIS. The name check showed up on USCIS's computers today (FBI sends results by cable/tape to USCIS) and as the local DO promised (after I visited their office and called them many times) they gave me the next available date - TOMORROW 7/20/04!! Yeah, I got my interview letter by fax today. For once I am spellbound by the USCIS's efficiency and commitment to keeping their word. I dont feel all that bad suddenly as I have shaved off atleast 2 months wait (between scheduling interview and actual interview date).
I worked very very hard to clear my namecheck by calling the FBI daily and called the analyst's themselves. I wrote to the FBI Asst Directors and so did my congressman. Yeah my congressman also played a very vital role and kept the pressure on the FBI by making is aide call the FBI liaision weekly for a status update. I feel so happy.
I will detail my namecheck and interview experiences later on.
I would love to hear from people about their interview experience especially relating to the 4 years + 1 day rule (reentry after an absence of 1 year). Please post them by tonight so I can draw parallels....
My timeline
Priority Date 8/15/03
Fingerprint notice received 9/16/03
Fingerprint date 10/4/03
Name check submitted to FBI 10/12
Name check cleared by FBI 7/9/04
Name check showed up on USCIS's computers 7/19/04 (Today!)
Interview Date 7/20/04 (Tomorrow!)
Case Status Online -> NO CHANGE (The officer mentioned that my file has been procured from the Vermont SVC to the Dist Office)
Wish me luck!
