  1. Thankfully you got through it. some of us are still stuck. but I think USCIS needs a independent authority overlooking their whole process. Kind of harrassment people go through is mind boggling.

    I think it's hight time for u get hold of a good immigration attorney, if you feel that your case is getting delayed for no reason. After all that's how it worked for me.

  2. What the heck is happening? On Feb 21st, i went for my 2nd FP appointment & I was told my the ASC officer that my FP had matched with FBI records and it had been processed, but today I've received another biometrics notice that FBI couldn't process my FP, hence I need to appear for the 3rd time. What is happening here? When will this end and I will get my Oath ceremony? Why are they harassing me?

  3. I wanted to write you even if it is just to show support. What you are going through sounds like a nightmare and I hope that you get your second biometrics done soon. I had to go through two biometrics myself, because my first biometrics "was not clear"... I haven't even been interviewed yet. My interview is on the 18th of Feb. I am nervous as heck but reading posts on VJ is really helping me. Good luck and please keep us updated.

    Thanks for your solidarity. Don't be too scared with my experiences, just be aware of all ways on how USCIS will try to nail us down. Be prepared, it's just based on our time. Wish you good luck with your interview. May god bless...

    This is disappointing, after all they've put you through....

    I wasn't aware fingerprints changed after a couple of years!!

    The good thing is... you've been approved....So, not long now!!!dancin5hr.gif

    Yup. The finger prints are valid only for 15 months, not even couple of years! Hoping to get Oath ceremony soon after the 2nd FP.

  4. Holy #######... it's been over 45 days since my approval of N400 and I did not receive any notice for Oath ceremony, hence I called up USCIS and spoke to Tier 2 after 2.5 hrs of wait time. The Tier 2 informed me that my biometrics had expired and I've been placed on 2nd round of bio-metrics appointment as on yesterday and I will receive Oath ceremony notice after a month from my 2nd bio-metrics. This sounds crazy... Have anyone gone through this scenario? What would be the next?

  5. I'm not sure I follow. Are you asking if USCIS pays a visit to couples applying for spouse visas? They don't do that.

    It is not mandatory that couples live together. Many in this forum are currently separated while they await their spouse visa. If you are applying for an adjustment of status within the US and you do not live together for a good reason, you may need to explain why at the interview and show other evidence of a bona fide marriage (such as intermingled financials and assets).

    What have you applied for?

    I'll be applying my husband's GC after my oath ceremony and I might take up a travelling job, so I'm wondering whether it would be an issue if USCIS pays visit to our house, when I'm out of town, while my husband is alone for a week or so!

    Thank you! I think it's better to be cautious.

  6. Hi,

    There is no specific templates for congressional inquiry. You can email your Congressman's office & they will send you privacy and info.access forms for u to sign, in order to initiate inquiry on your behalf, but may I know whether you were given any RFE after Sep 23rd interview? Generally, u need to make multiple infopass appointment, Tier 2 Service Requests by calling USCIS customer service and if nothing works, its best to make congressional inquiry after 120 days of first interview, despite u have the rights to file a law suit after 120 days of first interview. Even if the Congressional inquiry is of no help, then u can file a law suit after 300 days of first interview or after 1 year of N400 filing, which will be during next summer. I know it's a pain to wait for such a long duration, but inorder to gain the mercy of the judge, u need to show multiple ways that u tried to settle the issue amicably with USCIS. In your case, I wouldn't worry until 120 days since the first interview (which was Sep 23 2013). Just pray to god and wait until Jan end to finish the 120 days window and then make a Tier 2 Service Request, if neither works make a infopass, even if that didnt work make a congressional inquiry, just knock the judicial doors as the last option after an year from filing N400. Let's hope it gets resolved within 120 days, as per USCIS law. Good luck and keep me updated.

    Hi,

    There is no specific templates for congressional inquiry. You can email your Congressman's office & they will send you privacy and info.access forms for u to sign, in order to initiate inquiry on your behalf...My previous response is for delay after interview, but if the interview is not scheduled, you may just email your Rep's office.

  7. When you get the NOA1 or I-797A as it is officially known, there will be wording on it that states that,

    "Your conditional resident status is extended for a period of one year. During the one-year extension you are authorized employment and travel. (This extension and authorization for employment and travel does not apply to you if your conditional resident status has been terminated.)"

    Then it will tell you about the bio appointment letter you will receive in a few weeks.

    Thank you!

  8. First, relax. Second, wait for the NOA1 in the mail in a few days--maybe by Friday due to the holiday season. That NOA1 will extend your husband's GC for a period of 1 year. It is good for travel and work. If you do travel, just take the original extension letter with you as proof that his GC is still valid. Do not bother with the INFOpass appointment as the previous poster recommends as the USCIS has been turning people away without the stamp unless they lost the NOA1. CBP will not be your problem, but untrained airline employees. So make certain you contact the airlines to see if they accept the extension letter--Lufthansa and KLM do. When the new GC arrives make a scan of it as you do need a copy of the front and back of the 10 year GC to complete the N-400 form and should you lose the GC you can at least proceed with those copies.

    Good luck and Merry Christmas,

    Dave

    Dave - May I know what is the original extension letter that you are talking about? Is that something other than the NOA or something we need to obtain from USCIS after filing for the removal of conditions? Could you please elaborate?

    Thanks!
