So I posted this a few weeks back :
So I contacted USCIS yesterday and did get some info. First I was told they were waiting on my name check to clear. Then I was told that they were waiting for my fingerprints. I told them that I did a service request months ago and was told that they were reusing my prints from I-751. The I.O. told me to hang on and I could her the I.O. typing away for a few minutes. Was then told that OK, they are reusing my prints and that actually I should get an interview appointment soon as my case was just assigned an officer late last week and to call back later this week for more info. I feel I am in purgatory.The past 2 times I called USCIS I was told that I was in the interview queue, no mention of fingerprints or anything. Once I clarified by saying to the I.O. "OK, so you're telling me that I am just waiting on an interview date to become available in Philadelphia?" and the I.O. said "yes". My patience is very thin. As soon as I reach the 5 month mark In a few weeks) I will be contacting my Congressman and the USCIS ombudsman. If I do get my interview letter before the 5 month mark then I won't contact them. At least yesterday I received some info instead of the usual canned response I usually receive. It seems that my name check is taking a long time. Would my case be assigned an officer if my name check wasn't complete?
Now I have just received the RFE! WTF! I called the 1800 and spoke to an I.O. and was told that yes they did decide to reuse your fingerprints back in August BUT it is their discretion if they want to make you do Biometrics. The person I spoke to on the 1800 no. confirmed that it was an appointment for my Biometrics. What can I do. Can I contact the USCIS ombudsman or a congressman? Or do I just wait it out? The person on the phone also told me that the time frame for citizenship is 6 months?
