Went to the interview. The parking was full. Almost an hour passed after I gave my IL, so I asked them if they had me scheduled today. Shortly after, my husband and I were called for the appointment. The IO was professional. I was impressed
Ok ... he explained why I had trouble with all my applications after my F1 & OPT Visas. He said the person who filled out my H1B, GC and N400 did a mistake on all of those applications. He said my name was wrong. The system was confused with my middle name and maiden name not matching with social security. We had to do a name change. Even though I had reviewed my applications, I had relied on the lawyer I had paid top money to. Yep, the lawyer no longer has any of our family members as clients and no referrals. We were impressed on the professionalism the IO had.
He asked a few questions. Our governor is now Jan Brewer so that was the answer I gave him. he looked at me ... so I told him it was Janet before ... he went into more questionsas to what deparment she is now assigned to
I passed! He told me that he will work on a short time for my OL and I should have my OL in 2 wks. He said it should not be longer than that
My advice: if you are applying based on marriage, keep your name or your wife's name with the maiden name until you have the N400 interview, at the interview change your name if you want too.
Thank you, Thank you so much to everyone on this forum
I'm sticking around
Congratulations on passing the interview. Now comes the good part about the OD. And in reference to the IO, it was probably a Senior IO in your case, bcs they don't want to make any mistakes.-
Thanks for all the congrats and support
Phx_Girl, for sure make an InfoPass asap. Congrats on calling and your IL. Once you have your interview, stay on top of it for your Oath as they seem not to mail you anything or they have the wrong address?
Rick92, what about your OL? Have you sent your letters to officals?

Thx, Cregan. Yes, i will definately keep on top of things. I will schedule an info pass right now.
The IO said that the IL is received only a couple of weeks before the interview
So NOT true! asdasd, has his ID a couple of days after I do, and he already received his IL, that's just ONE example. Everyone gets it a couple months/month-and-a-half before.
Obviously, I haven't gotten it and I will NOT be getting it.
They have the correct address, I never made a change of address either (same since I filed I-130). I don't know what their deal is.
I did get the receipt notice, and everytime I call they verify my address.

Keep on them Phx Girl!
I'll keep my fingers crossed that you get the date confirmed.
I suppose assaulting a postman is a crime of moral turpitude?
Phx_Girl, Central Ave is correct. when you go to your Infopass, they will ask for you to turn it in at a window. You sit own and wait until they call your name. Then you go to a window to speak to a person. In Phoenix, it seems the agents available for Infopass don't care, so be assertive. For real, they tried to give me a post-it with my ID information. If that is the case or if they give you a difficult time, ask to speak to a supervisor. Make sure you get that IL as you are allowed. Sorry, I don't mean to tell you how to be, but with them you have to show them you know what you are taking about. I just want the best for all of us

They probably sent someone from USCIS to hand-deliver your mail
That DO sounds pretty outdated. The one in Chicago is very modern and entirely computerized. You're given a number, and there's a big screen with specific numbers. You wait until your number is announced on the surround sound speakers, and then go to the window designated on the screen.
CONGRATULATIONS, Cregan!!!!! Your father too.
You deserve it. I'm so glad it's almost over for you!
(remember I told you you wouldn't have to deal w/ them again )
I bet your IO knew they should rush things for all they've made you go through.
McTavish, anything in the mail for you?
Thank you for all your help. I don't mind you "telling me what to do."
It's because of you that I've made it this far. You kept pushing me to call them and ask for that level 2 IO.
I will do exactly as you suggest. I have to come out of there w/ that IL.

Ok, the excitement/nervousness is starting to wear off.
Now I see why McTavish wants me to confirm it - in writing.
Has anyone heard of a IL that fast after FP?
I was told the letter was “mailed” Jan 27th. That’s only 13 days after FP.
Does that sound right?
Or could they have been “expecting” me, had already ran a name check, and just confirmed my FP?

Mr Vertigo, funny, lol. I had to check the stamped postage a couple of times. Yep, we seem outdated
Phx_Girl, I know what you mean. It was the same for me, that's why I had to go get a copy of the IL as I did not believe it. But they have created a monster, lol - I'm not shy to call and reconfirm with a 2 lv IO. However, I spoke with them many times and it seems as they do not have lots of people working there as IO were recognizing me. Phoenix is quick on available times for Infopass schedule it asap. It feels so good to have that paper. I had made copies and kept one in my wallet, just to remind me it was really scheduled, lol

schedule it asap. It feels so good to have that paper. I had made copies and kept one in my wallet, just to remind me it was really scheduled, lolI have spoken to 2 different Level 2-IOs and they both confirmed it.
You see what happened is, when the 1st one told me it had been mailed out, I almost hanged up on him to run to the post office. I grabbed my kids and drove there. Very close to my house, so I was there in about 5min. I was disapointed when my box was empty.
I drove home and called them back right away. The second, different, level 2 IO, also confirmed it. She was the one who told me they send out the IL only a couple weeks before the ID, because I complained that I still didn't have it.
My InfoPass is already scheduled for Tuesday.
Rox, give them a call. They might not have sent you an IL either.

Call 1-800-375-5283
Select Options: 1-1-2-0, to get to a live operator right away.
Specifically ask for a level 2 officer!
This is really important. I kept talking to the first operator and for three months they could never tell me my FP appt had been scheduled. Until finally, as suggested to me by Cregan (thx, Cregan! ), I finally requested to talk to a level 2 IO.
Good luck! I hope you're scheduled!
