Screened through pages of posts and don't see many similar case -
I went to my 8:40am interview, arrived at 8am, was called at 8:35am.
Everything was superquick, IO was very friendly, finished checking the application and civic test in 10 mins. Then the IO asked me if I am aware that I have an H-1 file. I said yes, since I got my greencard through employment. That's when he said I passed everything but he cannot approve my case, because he is still waiting for my H-1 file to be transferred to him.
He said no need to worry, it usually arrives 2-3 weeks, meaning I should be getting the Oath letter by July. But having been waited for 9 months without being able to track my case (I should have moved to overseas in March), it makes me wonder how long it usually takes to receive the Oath letter when IO doesn't have all the files at hand during the interview.
Anybody who has similar experience, please post your timeline here!
thanks!
p.s. I asked the IO if waiting for my H-1 file is the reason delaying my interview (9 months vs average 3 months wait) He blames it to background/name check.
