N400 Processing Time
Dear all,
I'm from Columbus, Ohio. My N400 case was received at USCIS on November 10, 2016 and then scheduled for Fingerprints on November 22, 2016. Since then I did not hear anything back and the USCIS site still says " Fingerprint Appointment Was Scheduled," and it's about to hit 6th month of processing.
I was working with the U.S. Army as local Interpreter/Translator in Afghanistan and then moved to the United States under Special Immigration Program in 2011.
After moving to the States, I have earned a degree and currently working on the second one, worked as Language Instructor for few years and still working as full time employee for a company since last couple years, so due to my experience and knowledge, I was offered linguist job with U.S. Army in Afghanistan as green card holder two months ago but I had to turn it down because I was unable to expedite my N400 case through USCIS even after submitting the Expedite request few times. The first time, the Expedite request directed me to the Field Office to present the required documents which I did but the Field Office could not do anything neither dealt with such things in the past, they said and were also surprised by seeing such letter.
They recommended to call the USCIS again to see if they can do something from their end or have to wait until scheduled for the interview.
The second reason I turned the job down was because I didn't want to miss any step or delay my N400 while in Afghanistan after the expedite request did not work because I worked for this so hard I deserve earning it, but I still yet to know why it takes few months for some applicants and for some longer or am I missing something that kicked me to the end of the queue??..
Any suggestion or advice is highly appreciated in this regard.
Very Sincerely,
Alokozai
