Thanks POJ. Not that I was planning on going to visit USCIS in the next few days or anything, but from a trivial perspective, I was wondering what businesses in general are planning on closing due to the impending hurricanes (plural) down here.

POJ,
Actually I went to the Miami office in early June, soon after my cse was transferred. They said the interview should be in about 4-6 months after the transfer date. If all goes as the Miami office told me, then I should have an interview before Election Day (November 2, 2004). But nobody knows for sure at this point, its just a guess. My wife's case has remained in TSC for some reason. I sent a fax to TSC requesting to transfer it to Miami to be together with mine. Hers is the dependant case. The Miami office also sent a fax to TSC requesting the same thing, and my lawyer recently sent a fax this week to TSC for the same reason. Three faxes total and nothing has helped. Now my company has decided to change lawyers. This concerns me since I had a very good relationship with the previous lawyer, and USCIS is not very good at updating this information in thier system,, and the old lawyer moved once already. So I am expecting the interview notice to be sent to The wrong lawyer's address get forwarded to the new address of the old lawyer, and then that lawyer would forward it to the new lawyer, even though the new lawyer informed USCIS. That could take 4-6 weeks for something that most people get in 1 week. There is only about 2-4 weeks notice wen the inteview letter arrives, so I am at a very high risk of missing the interview all together, since Miami will NOT notify me of an interview on the website.
The stress level is very high right now, and there is very little I can do that I haven't already done. I need this green card done by November for a number of reasons:
1) I need to file for homestead exemption to stop my property tax from increasing more than 3% per year. Right now its increasing close to 10%-12% per year, just becuase I do not have a green card. I must file for homested exemption by the end of November. This is costing me an extra $1000 or so per year. ($3000 last year, $4000 this year, $5000 next year YIKES!!)
2) I need to file an affidavit of support for my mother who won the DV-2005 lottery. She has a low case number, and her consular interview will most probably be in either October or November 2004. Only a permanent resident or a US citizen can file a the affidavit for her, otherwise she has no other way of passing the interview and getting a green card with the situation she is in.
I REALLY need to get this thing finished soon. Its gone on way too long, but not as long as a few other people on this forum "too_long" has a case that has been pending since August 2001, so who am I to complain. Just hope for the best, and maybe it will turn out OK.
Anyways I am sure I have bored you with all the details of my worries, so I'll stop now. If you got this far, I hope that at least I helped you feel better about your case.
