Anyone having any luck with the San Francisco office?  My wife did the biometrics on 9/14/16, and we've heard nothing since... we emailed and in late Feb they said "Your application information has been entered into the system which schedules applicants for interviews at their local Field Office. Interview appointments are scheduled as slots become available at the Field Office.", but over a month later we're still waiting.  I know someone who applied literally at the exact same time and got their citizenship months ago, the waiting is killing us.  Should we try talking to a tier 2 officer or keep waiting?  Thanks for the help/advice!

SF is 7 months, 15 days, your priority date was August 10?  You are due March 25 (yesterday), don't bother bother calling I would wait this week for an update, you should hear something soon!

Same here, I have tried to update but it seems they changed something and I no longer see that "switch" to turn on/off the quote and edit it. It seems the instructions should be updated as well.

 

Anyway, I know for babyduck and myself, we got the notice on 3/13/17 for the interview and the interview date is 4/19/17. Both our cases are with the Seattle FO and have the same PD. I can't update the list, but would someone please do it?

Seems no movement for Great LA area (LA, LA County & SFV) for a while since PD of 8/12. My friend from San Bernardino FO with PD 8/20 already got scheduled last Thur. Why they pause scheduling since 8/13 for LA area? March is gonna be over soon, will this huge waiting nightmare be terminated in the meantime?
