How did the interview go?  

Good news from the San Francisco office. Filed at the end of January.  Unfortunately it is not a combo interview.  We are still stuck on Fingerprints since July 2022.

Interview has been scheduled for December. 

Almost at the end

Hope the California/Bay Area folks get some updates soon! The wait is nauseating 😕  

Also here in the same boat as well.  Filed 1-751 in February 2022 and N-400 in January 2023.  Got the 4 year extension letter and that is it.  The website does say 4 months for an update but who knows if that is accurate at all.

Hopefully this will be completed soon.

I think the filers coming from the San Francisco office is going to be a while.  8 months is the timeline on the USCIS website.  Maybe by December of this year. No worries though. At least this is the last stop

Have any SanFrancisco office January filers got their Interview scheduled ?

No. Still Waiting.  Our schedule says 9 month on the myUSCIS website

Also my case got updated on 7.14 as well even though I knew back in June that they were going to waive it.

At least it is moving through the system 

Sent our request in for missing the Biometrics letter and received an email on Thursday that the Biometrics have been waived.

Let the waiting game continue

Hopefully it will be soon.

Still waiting on response for the Biometrics letter.  Said they would respond at the end of the month.

WAC flier here.  

The waiting game continues.

Hi February 2022 filers, did anyone get a WAC receipt number for their i751 ROC case?

 

I received an NOA in the mail confirming the 24 month extension and just waiting patiently for further updates from USCIS..

 

Curious if anyone else has the WAC (California) service centre and estimated processing times. 

Also have a WAC receipt.  No movement on the case just to say they received it.

Not sure of the exact processing times but most likely will not see anything until near the end of the year if they waive  biometrics.  Did see one VJ case from a California Service Center  where they filed in June 2021 and received their green card in March of this year. That works out to be about 9 months and they had said the interview was waived.

That is just one case as every case is different but gives us an idea of what we might expect

And now waiting game begins all over again.

So the continuing journey starts again 

i751 sent 02/21 

Received (via Fedex) 02/22

Text message 02/25

Check yet to be cashed but bank is showing to be taken out on 2/28.

And not waiting game begins all over again.

Had Interview in San Jose Office in December and finally got the New Card is Produced yesterday evening.  At least nothing to worry about for a couple of years now.  Hang in there if you still waiting for your interview/greencard.

It was about my sponsorship. But we submitted everything. Got approved for EAD and AP. 

But have not heard anything concerning the form i485 

Sorry to hear that you are still in limbo.  I would see if you can give them  a call again and talk to a Tier 2 rep.  I can't imagine USCIS is that backed up that it would take a year to review your evidence that you sent in. Maybe renewing their EAD/AP document may make them act on your case as some people in this forum had said it worked for them.  Who knows with USCIS.  Hopefully you get an answer soon.

Had our interview on Dec 12 at the Fairfax, VA office. Went well since today we just got the notice that the green card was being produced! Finally! Here I was thinking that they wouldn't touch it until well after New Years. 

Congrats. Nothing now to worry about for at least a couple of years.

I even expected them to schedule my interview in 2021, in line with their normal processing time and even a couple months late so that I could avoid filing for ROC. But I guess your attorney is right. The EAD/AP renewal triggered them to schedule the interview because they don't want to lose their money if we skip ROC

Good to know some people from the area in the forums. We were about to send our extension for the EAD/AP form when we got the Interview notice.  Moved our interview to San Jose (which was closer for us than SF).  Still waiting on our decision. Hopefully your interviews go well.

Had our interview today December 17.  Pretty much went over the I485 form and if we had traveled outside of the U.S before the interview.  Took about 10 minutes for the interview and felt pretty good about the interview process.  We got the standard form letter that your case is being held for review. The wait was kind of long and the numbers they called had no order to them.  They would call people with a higher number than us and then call a lower number than us. Will see what the status update is in a few days

Got approved. 
The officer asked millions of questions. 
where did you meet? How did you meet? When did you start dating? Where did he propose? Where does he work? What does he do? Your wives moms and dads full names. Her birthday? Did you go on the honeymoon? Did you have any trips together since marriage? Are you living with parents or renting? Does your wife work? Where? Whats the position?

then the usual questions from the package itself. Addresses, etc. 
officer was polite but didnt seem very approachable. Barely a smile through whole interview. He said he needed to review the application, and we’ll hear back soon. 
left the building, i kinda expected an approval, checked the app, and within 15mins it said “card is being produced”. 
so yeah. Got scrutinized, but overall all went fine. 

Congrats on your approval. That seems like a lot of questions.  Oh well, at least you got the approval and that's the only thing that counts.

Congrats again

Finally received notification that the Interview has been scheduled. However, they moved the interview from San Francisco to San Jose. I guess that article about USCIS moving cases to other offices to reduce load was true.  I personally like going to San Jose. It is a madhouse to drive in San Francisco.  Time to gather the documents.

I did checked on the application form. I hope to get ssn very soon. 

You can call the SSN office at 1-800-772-1213.  This is the main number. Otherwise you can visit a local office and find out the status.  USCIS is saying that you should receive your SSN card no later than 7 days after receiving your EAD card.  That is why we were surprised when the SSN card came in a week before the EAD card.

Hopefully it will come this week sometime

Hello guys, how long would it take to get my SSN? 

If you checked the SSN box on the I-765 form it should arrive fairly quickly at least from what happened to us. The SSN card actually arrived before the EAD card which was surprising. 

If you did not check the box then you will have to go to a SSN office to apply for one.  

Hopefully it will come in soon

I was not talking about god. 

I was talking about not losing faith in USCIS getting your EAD card

I just got an update that USCIS are ready to schedule an interview - anybody know how long it might take (San Francisco Field Office)?

 

I am also in the SF office. Our case got updated case is ready to be scheduled at the end of March. I think they are about a year out from what I gather for Interviews at SF. I would just enjoy the summer time as our time will come
