March 2017 Submission (I-130 sent fist *got accepted*) I-485 & I-765 Concurrent

[BELLAGIO]

I am reaching my limit of patience with USCIS. I filed on 03/11/2017 (Brooklyn, NY), got biometrics done on 4/21/2017 and then my status changed for 'case is ready to be scheduled for interview' on 4/28/2017. Then my "case is ready to be scheduled for interview" changed as of, 06/15/2017 when my EAD went my I-765 was approved and mailed out. Since nothing changed. I did my first SR on Oct. 10th thru internet when I received notice that I should have my replay by Nov. 1st. I got no reply. I did my second SR on Nov. 13th, over the phone now. I was informed that, yes the case is ready to be scheduled for interview, they will assign me to someone as soon as someone will be available, something about extremely overburden with caseload excuse. I see most of applicants who filed around my date already getting their interview notices or already being done with interview. I do not know if it's because of my location or any other reason but, waiting time is sure long one.

Hi Agata, I understand the frustration my PD is March 9/2017, (Newark) and i am still yet to get a interview date as well. I just saw someone whose PD was February 7 get an interview date for December 20 . So i guess all we can do is hope we get something by December or early January

[Agata T.]

i am the same my PD is March 20th but didnt hear anything back, i belive your office is a new field office that started october 1st, 2017 and it doesnt have any updates about their timeline

Anyone filing from San Francisco Bay area? As of April I am ready to be scheduled for interview but nothing yet. Processing times page says they are on cases from November 28, 2016. EAD approved and received in June. I130 still says received in March.

[Agata T.]

I hope you do get the interview notice. Pozdrowienia!

Dziekuje !!

[Walbrzyszanka21]

I already got my EAD on July 27th, and after that nothing moved. But, I hope you are right and there will be movement in my case soon.

I hope you do get the interview notice. Pozdrowienia!

[Agata T.]

I think I called 1-800-375-5283 but they only could tell me what I already saw on USCIS under my cases. If your SR timeline is the same, then you should get your interview notice in a little over 2 weeks. That is how it was for me, SR was raised on 9/2, response expected 9/24, interview notice received 10/10 with notice date 10/5 for an 11/8 interview date. EAD came a week later.

I did raise SR over the internet on Oct. 10th and got email from USCIS saying that I should expect reply by Nov. 1st. I got nothing, so I think now I should go to my congressman/woman and do my due diligence that way.
Which # did call to get in contact with USCIS?

Thank you

Hey Agata, I would suggest contacting your Congressman, they get responses regarding SR's faster. I raised an SR 9/2 and I was scheduled to get a response 9/24. I did not get one and 10/3 I went to my congressman's office to fill out a privacy release form. I called 10/10 and it was not assigned to anyone but then the lady over the phone assigned it to someone. That same day I got my interview notice. Looking at it, calling the congressman did not actually help but I hear that if they do the SR then it lets the USCIS people know that you are really waiting for a long time.

You can raise an SR over the internet on the USCIS website where it says submit a case inquiry.

He didn't look at my photo Album. I brought with us as proof bank statement from our checking and savings account in the last 90days, car loan agreement, car insurance card. he took all my I-94's. he asked for my latest I-20 *** M-1 and F-1 filers** don't forget to bring with you! and I didn't have it. He said he was going to mail a letter to my address requesting it and that would take a little longer for process to be complete it so, my wife asked him if we could go to the public library next to USCIS office and print out from my email, he agreed it ( he told us to leave with the lady in the front desk) so in the end he said I can't approve the process now but, you guys did a good job. So 2 days after the interview my process was updated New Card Is Being Produced.

Hi everyone,

I am also a Seattle filer.

I applied late January
got my EAD in July
I've also been waiting for the interview since 03/23/17.

Its taking way too long but I guess it's their normal processing time given what I saw here from other applicants.
Lets hope they can get through this backlog fast

Wow it took them 6 months to give you your EAD??? That is way longer than what I usually see here, did you have any RFE?
