Hi mycase18...
Interview letters from Local INS office in Newark are usually sent with in one month of the case being transferred.
When was your case transferred from Vermont Service Center.
Did you or your attorney get a preliminary letter from INS vermont that your case has been transferred to INS Newark and you will receive your interview letter from the local office.
IS your case transferred on Dec-11-2002 or Nov-12-2002. ( because 11/12 and 12/11 are a bit confusing.. and sometimes we make a typo).
Why I am saying this is because, if it is Nov-12-2002, it is better for you to go in Person to INS Newark and clarify about your case.Because people whose cases were transferred to NEwark on Dec-04-2002, have already been interviewed.
Please let me know.
