I'm not entirely sure, actually... sorry. The lawyer talked to some immigration officials.

IV descheduling update

Hello,
I have a quick comment on the IV descheduling.

I am not sure if USCIS if they are aware of service like FEDEX, UPS, even USPS.

Transferring a file from LA to San Jose is taking for ever. I dont understand why this is taking this long.

I am still waiting for the IV letter.

That is because logic and USCIS don't go hand in hand.

And you just came to the San Jose thread to rub it in our noses that the Oakland district office is moving quite faster than San Jose, didn't you? ;)
Just kidding. It's good to hear that processing times are getting so good. I am about to apply myself, but wouldn't like the process to be so fast that I get interview before my 5 years (I am planning to apply using the 3 months rule), and get in trouble as some people had. Is San Jose also getting in the habit of giving oath letters on the spot after the interview? That would be nice and remove a lot of anxiety from people. It makes sense considering that they are scheduling interviews only after all security checks have been done. I kind of remember seeing a case like this of having received the letter right after interview. However, I also see a lot of postings from people waiting for the oath letter.

Good luck to all.

Remember one thing - it is not a 3 month rule. Instead, it is a 90 day rule. Many have done this mistake and have had their applications returned.
 
No Interview Yet

I have applied for N400 along with my family. I live in San Jose. All of my family member have got interview notice 3 weeks back. I don't know what's going on with my application. Inquired with my friend and found that all of the family members got the interview letters on the same date. Can anyone throw some lights before I call INS?

Take an Infopass appointment. That's your best bet. Calling the 800 number for the National Service Center helpdesk is as close to wasting time as humanly possible - usually easily more than an hour on hold time. And then you get a bunch of non-information.

Infopass is a service that the local district offices of USCIS offer wherein an applicant can discuss his/her case with an immigration officer. The immigration officer will have access to your case on his computer and can precisely tell you where your application is currently stuck.

You can schedule an Infopass appointment online. The link to Infopass is available on the USCIS website. If you want to go directly to Infopass scheduler, you can also access it directly here -

Interview deschedulers - please respond

Folks,

How many of you got descheduled for interview ?

I am one of the victims of this. I havent received any more update.

Any idea if anyone who got descheduled got a subsequent appointment ?

Does infoseek appointment will give more info ?

Thanks

FWIW, it is called Infopass not Infoseek. The link to online Infopass scheduler is available at the USCIS site. And yes, Infopass may give the current status of your case and may even insight into what is holding it up.
 
Descheduled woes

my inteview was orginally scheduled for Nov 29th and i got descheduled a week later.

I havent received any update since then.

Wondering if anyone else who got descheduled, got interview letter later ?

Thanks,
