Hello, how are you all! It's been very helpful to read and learn form here. This is my first time posting.

Is any one experiencing delay in New York Office? I sent out my application on May 8th. My biometrics were on June 12th. That was the last I heard, so it's been 5 months since my biometrics.

I scheduled an infopass a couple of weeks ago. The lady told me that my biometrics had been cleared, but that my name check wasn't cleared yet. ?

I want to do something about it. But the processing time for the New York office is still showing March 18, 2015 and I was told that they will not look into my case further unless it was out of processing time.

Just curious if anyone else is experiencing this delay in New York as well and for any insight.

Thank you and all the best!

It isn't so much the local office, but rather the FBI name check which has been unable to clear you. Search for "name check" here and you'll see many examples. Not much you can do as even Congressional inquiries seem ineffective.

I filed mine on June 19th, and nothing happened since my biometrics in July. People say we may call USCIS for info/request after 6 months without any updated news.

I got an updated news for my permanent green card in the 6th month and received the card in the 7th month.

Typically, naturalization will take around 6 months for a schedule interview. For those who got an interview within 6 months, they are just very lucky.

In your case, you may want to call USCIS since it has been over 6 months since your submission.

I am also located in NYC.

Good luck and please keep us posted.
