Actually Nichme, I think if someone's name check and FP results clear, they would be scheduled for an interview, even if others who have an earlier priority date are still in name check. In other words, being stuck in the name check does not guarantee your spot in the queue. It is truly first come first serve.
It is not at all. We are talking about USCIS not WellsFargo bank standing in line.
My friends wife sent her application two months before I did(08-2007). We are living in the same neighborhood with the same DO. I got my fingerprint appnt. and she got it a week after me. Orginaly if we are expecting them to work on their schedule and guidelines, I probably have to tell you that they don't. I don't feel good to jump ahead of anyone but I am not the one processing all these application disordered.
