US Immigration from Kuwait

I went to the Denver USCIS center yesterday with a young man for moral support to attend his N400 interview. While waiting outside, I noticed people happily exiting the building every 5-10 minutes holding their white envelopes and little flags. I thought that was odd, as I expected oath ceremony attendees would have left all at once.

Well, less than an hour of waiting and my young friend came out and told me he passed the interview, was administered the oath and was given his pre-printed certificate on the spot by the officer who interviewed him!!!

Starting a new thread to track filers from the above month who are YET to receive an N400 interview appointment. From various discussion threads , it appears that individuals who applied during these 3 months are the largest affected group - largely forgotten.

Let's try to get together and see what happens over the next few weeks , identify recourse and report on any updates/changes to their respective case , that might be helpful to all.

-----------------------------------------

In my case.

Applied on May 26, 2020

Field Office: Newark , NJ

Biometrics notification: Dec 30,2020

Biometrics done: Jan 26,2021

Since January , I have attempted to call USCIS every alternate month with no real outcome. Occasionally a kind agent would put an enquiry on my behalf which would swiftly be responded by the Newark Field office as 'being within processing times' . Otherwise the standard agent reply has been essentially 'continue to wait'.

Good afternoon, not sure if this is the correct forum or not, but I have a general question and was wondering if anyone has run into similar issues while applying for jobs in the US.

My husband recently received and accepted an offer for employment, but during the hiring process, HR has informed him that there were issues with running his criminal background check (for the record he has none) saying that his SSN is not linking to his profile.

Has anyone had similar issues while getting a job in the US? If so, how was that issue resolved?

Any input would be great, so we don't start freaking out.

Thanks!

Hey all, We have received an email from the NVC and I was not sure if this mean that we are at Case Complete? The CEAC status website still shows "At NVC" and furthermore we emailed our documents May 27 2021 so like 13 days ago and according to the NVC Timeframe we should not be done yet and we still have a month to go.

The email states:

"

Dear Sir/Madam,

The National Visa Center (NVC) received all the requested documentation for this immigrant visa case. The applicant is now in the queue awaiting an interview appointment overseas, where a consular officer will adjudicate the applicants visa application.

.

.

When an Appointment is available, we will notify the applicant, petitioner, and attorney (if applicable). The applicant can prepare now by reading about the embassy's interview requirements online at https://nvc.state.gov/interview. Thank you for your patience.

"

Is this a Case Complete email or is it an email stating that they received our documents and are going to start to review it?

Thanks

Hey all,

So we have run with a pretty interesting issue with the NVC. They have informed us with a letter through our attorney indicating that we should mail our documents in for processing (CEAC upload wasn't an option for us). After a while we have checked the NVC Timeframe website and we realized that we are late due to a DQ email from the NVC, so we have decided to call them.

Apparently, our case was electronic processing somehow and we should have emailed not mailed our documents in and they wont review it until we do. This is not the instruction that we have received at all so we tried to explain but they were not buying it, they did some sort of supervisor review yesterday but yet nothing they could do on their side , we have to upload and wait AGAIN for reviewing.

We have uploaded our documents online now to the email they told us and we have also emailed an expedite email to them which include the letter indicating that we should have mailed our documents, so they can finish us quickly because the delay was their miscommunication fault and we shouldn't pay the price.

Would we be accepted or at least have a ground for an expedite because we have it clearly in writing that its their fault not ours?? I know it is not really an emergency but still we shouldn't really have gotten this delay in the first place if they have informed us...

We really dont have much time to wait as we have universities to attend in the fall and my eldest sister is only in our case due to CSPA (still have like a year left but still we have been in this whole NVC stage for 1 year and 1 months now..... and we can't really estimate an acceptable timeframe because well they never gave an accurate one) so we are really trying to finish asap (We have included this in our expedite email.)

Thanks in advance!
