Hey guys! I have an update on my case.

I left the US for a trip because I'm simply tired of waiting. I left on the 24th of November, and I called the USCIS to change my mailing address from my apartment to an internet base mail forwarding company (they will take care of my mail when I'm overseas: they will scan the envelopes and show pictures in their website, so I can see who has sent me letters. Then I have choices to either scan, forward to myself overseas, recycle, or shred. :

Jirapan,

Which online service do you use for this?
 
HomerSimp,
You have just applied, so it would be alright to change your address unless you're looking to move to states that are not under Nebraska Service Center. The sooner is always the better time to change your address. Don't change if you are about to get the letter of interview. As per the interview questions, please look up at USCIS website. They are timeline for when they will have you take a new test.

Crosshair,
I'm using Earth Class Mail because it's a Seattle base company. Signing up for the service and get all of your mails forwarded to them before you leave the country is adviseable. Don't do what I did because you will get into the limbo as I do.
 
GREAT UPDATE NEWS FOR ME GUYS

I GOT IL. YAAAAY. i was away on business and it came while i was gone so dont know exact day, but this week either dec 3rd or 4th, PD July 29th, Interview Jan 9th. maybe tahts some good news for the rest of you guys.
 
js360,

Thanks FlyingTurk, I wish you the best too.

Do you guys know how to contact the USCIS if the interview letter has never arrive? The last time I talk to the USCIS Hotline, they told me that they are not going to re-send the letter. Oh well, what can I do then? It has been 3 weeks now since the letter was out of NSC on Nov 19.

queen, has your case been removed from online, because you hear the theory that once its gone offline then you get IL, but mine is still online and i have my IL. so i dont know whats up with that.
 
reply to jirapan

if the online status search gives an error message which says
Validation Error(s)
You must correct the following error(s) before proceeding:
Case Status Retrieval Failed
The status for this Receipt Number is incomplete at this time in this automated system and can not be displayed. Please check your case receipt number to see if it is correct. If you have questions or concerns about your case status, please contact the National Customer Service Center.

Have you thought of sending an email to USCIS ombudsman to let them know their online system is not working? I've seen so many posts about the USCIS online system not providing accurate updates, but I have to wonder if USCIS knows about this if no one reports it to the appropriate channels.

No I haven't but that is a good suggestion. I will try and send a mail to Seattle CIS and see if they can fix it or send a letter to the CIS ombudsman.
For everyone else who got their citizenship and still see the case status as received and pending maybe we all can collectively send letters to the CIS ombusdman so they will be aware that it's a problem across the board and not just 1 or two people.
 
msnvidemail,

Thanks for the answer, I will look into that.

Bad news for me though, I called the USCIS again, and the officer who answered my phone said that he didn't see any note saying that the IL was sent out to me, and had know idea what his colleage was talking about. But he also said that now they are sending letter for people who applied in April, so I should get my letter in 30 days, if not I could call back.

I would suggest you e-mail the Seattle CIS office directly instead of calling the 1-800 Number you should have gotten the e-mail address for seattle CIS during your last infopass visit.

Thanks, but I didn't get any infopass before. Do you have their e-mail address? If yes, would you please give me the address so I can contact them?
