All NYC Filers..... let's talk

[Muziv82]

Muziv82 let us know if you hear back from them. When mine was scheduled and subsequently cancelled, I had called them and was informed this happens if: IO had an emergency and couldn't keep the appointment, the queue is longer due to overscheduling, etc. They told me there is nothing I can do but wait for them to reschedule. That was 4 mos. ago.

I have been waiting. The problem I see is that it might have been overlooked now since I do see they are processing others after me, but I honestly haven't had the chance to call, specially since we are still within time according to Queens timeframes..

There are also others that were scheduled already from the same date as my original interview was, which is why I wonder...

Hope you hear back soon.
Please keep us updated, thanks!

Hey KKaren,
I suggest you do anything you can, emails, mails, going to the USCIS with the notice and move mountains. That’s what we started doing. in a Redit forum one person responded to my situation saying his case slipped through the system and be never heard from therm. We should do whatever we can until this will be solved. I will definitely keep you posted when I hear from them,

Muziv82 yes, that's definitely what I plan to do. I am giving them a call today and hopefully will get a call back from a tier 2 soon. I just hate that its so hard to even get in contact with a tier 2 and tier 1 officers only provide what we see online. Will update if there is even any change at all.

Good luck on yours as well!

Muziv82 hi, just checking. Have you heard back on your end? I called today to see and was told by the CS rep that she doesn't see anything but to wait. I'm as confused as ever because originally, she mentioned I was out of processing time and she will submit an SR but when she was doing that, she saw I submitted an inquiry online and their response is that it is within normal processing time. I asked her how in her system, It's out of, but she couldn't say.

I asked if she can confirm the times at my FO but she said no, to check online at NBC processing. I told her 485 does not have an NBC online if you look at the times and she said correct, I'd have to look at the Long Island FO times. I am at 8 mos. and 1 day, LI FO is at the minimum 9.5 mos. I'm going to try again next month to see but I guess I cannot open another SR until 30 days after the last one? Which was in Dec. 1.

I'm hoping they really do process mine at the minimum. I still can't understand how they already scheduled and later cancelled and still no reschedule time but at this point, hoping for the best.

Just an update guys, finally got my scheduled interview notice in the mail. Its for next month.

[hopefulandhappy]

Congrats kkaren! 11 months of waiting isn’t so bad! Is your field office Manhattan? If so, great that they are consistent in scheduling interviews quicker than usual!

[kkaren]

hopefulandhappy thanks! My FO is actually Queens, but I do see other posts from Manhattan getting their interviews faster now. Hopefully, it continues.

NYC FILER

PD: 10/3/2018
EAD: Received 3/9/2019 (did not expedite)
INTERVIEW SCHEDULED: 4/4/2019

Just wanted to update my interview experience.
On April 4, 2019, my wife and I went for our Interview at USCIS District Office in NYC. Appointment time was 8:15am, we live in Queens and my wife works night shift, on 4/3/19, she couldn't take a day off from work, so she just tried to leave work super early because she works in Long Island NY and I have to pick her up then drive to Manhattan.
4/4/19 - picked up my wife at work 6:30am, we were on the road to Manhattan by 6:45am, major delays and traffic on all Expressways, but luckily we were able to park at ICON parking right across the USCIS office.

Long line at the inspection/security area, arrived at 8:05am, done with inspection went to the 9th floor, got our interview number but had to go down on the 4th floor as the interview will be conducted there. Checked in at 8:13am, IO called us at 8:15am on the dot. Greeted her good morning, went to her office, did took our oath, then she started asking my wife (sponsor) about me, like the usual questions, name, dob, name of parents, where and how did we meet, where I work then she turned to me and started asking me, about my wife, same questions, then she started asking me the YES and NO questions on my I485, she took my I-94 from my passport and told me that she will take it and I can no longer get it back, my I-94 expired 8 years.

After she asked me, she then requested for our joint documents, we brought our binder, and handed her i693, birth certificates, our marriage certificate from church and from the city, our passports, our joint bank statement which is only 9 months old, our joint credit card statements, health insurance me as dependent and our joint investment account which is 1 month old. She checked those paperwork then asked for pictures, we prepped a separate fastened folder for our pictures, she then looked at it, saw our wedding pictures, and paused asked us how big was the wedding, my wife answered, 200 guests she then said wow it's a big wedding, looks like you guys had fun!

After that, she let me sign the interview paper form. Then she said, okay, I will approve this, but it is only conditional because we just got married about 8 months ago, the green card will be mailed to me, then she said to follow her she'll just make a copy of my wife's birth certificate then we should be good to go -- she also asked us if we have any questions, which we don't have.... so after about 15mins, interview is done, she walked us out to the exit. Went to get our car then got a SMS and email notice from USCIS that New Card is Being Produced, 2 days after, another notification that i130 and i485 case approved, then 4/8/19 got 2 letters on the mailbox 797 NOA Approval Notice and today got a SMS, email and checked USCIS app that my GC was picked already and is expected to be delivered on Friday! GOD is GREAT! As long as you're happily married, legit, I guess everything will work out smoothly.
