Guys, it was probably addressed already on one of the 119 pages of this thread, but are you able to visit the US while you're waiting?

May the force be with you.

Agreed. You actually say "aboout".

He must be talking about ROC.

Ours is completely different. It is mostly about pets and coyote sightings with some Karen-like complaints here and there and of course, a few political responses unrelated to the actual subject.

Try meetup.com. Search for groups in your area. There are so many with varied interests; I bet more than one will appeal to you. Some groups that don't meet in person currently, do so online. Something else you can do is organizing a virtual reunion with your whole class from university or high school. It's so fun catching up online with everyone talking at once. You might reconnect with someone and become virtual bff's! And if you're into working out, there must be groups near you that gather outdoors to exercise together. If there's none, you can organize yours -there's an app called Nextdoor where you can talk to people from your neighborhood-.

Could very well be someone charging for immigration advice and coming here to get some ideas for free.

Our printed notification says it was transferred to schedule an interview. Why they transferred it to NBC rather than our local office, we don't know. Just adding unnecessary steps and delay to our case. Our main concern is that it will remain at NBC for ages and then one day it will finally be transferred to the local office where it will stay untouched for another few years. Truth is it should have been approved a month ago, but here we are, doing some cathartic posts instead.

No medical exam is required for ROC.

Ours was transferred a mere seven days after RFE was received, so I doubt they actually reviewed our evidence. Our status still reads transferred to another office, so who knows when will it be ready to schedule an interview. Our local office takes 1-2 years to schedule interviews for AOS and citizenship, so it is very likely that we'll wait around that time to get scheduled when we should have been approved by now, like the rest of ROC filers around us. I think we'd be approved earlier if we filed again now. Not anymore. Maybe they've read all my complaints and that's why they are punishing us now. 😢

I know. Everyone's journey is so smooth, even joyful, thanks to the very well-oiled immigration system. Now I think of it, we should have saved our snarky remarks for when our process was over. Oh well.

Sad to think it might have been a random dude who didn't pay attention and just typed NBC. The whole thing has been a series of very disheartening oddities.

Is that real? OMG! And what does your status say? For us is was totally unexpected as we went through AOS interview already, we're filing jointly, sent evidence twice and still we got transferred for interview rather than approved.
