From ‘your case is ready to be scheduled for interview,’ on 6/2020, we waited 1 year and 3 months for our Interview to be scheduled. We finally had our interview this past month. We had prepared additional:

- Deed and mortgage with both names.

- Tax filing for past 2 years.

- Joint accounts.

- Health insurence.

- Health records.

- Car insurence and home owner insurence.

- 401k accounts with each other as benefitiaries.

- Additional pictures of our recent trips.

Our status got approved a month later. Good luck everyone.

Also MSC, initially went through consular process, so destined for an interview.

ready to schedule an interview 6/2020

had interview beginning of 9/2021

No decision at the end of the interview, been waiting since.

Had gotten I551 stamp, but only good for 6 months as we had the interview scheduled at the time of obtaining the stamp. Been trying to start a new job, but they werent happy with a 6 months I551 stamp.

I don’t know if it helps, but I have read that saying “technical problems” sometimes gets you to a live person.

I called that same number, it put me through auto voice system. What exactly did you do to get to someone? Did you press any button/say any command to get to that or you just called that number, and it auto put you in wait for real person?

You have to say - Infopass appointment

How do you get to the real agent? I can't get through the auto answer machine.

I called the toll free number below. After 30-40 minute of wait, someone will pick up and take your information. Then you are placed in the line to have an immigration officer call you back in 20-30 days.

Our toll free number is 800-375-5283 (TTY 800-767-1833) and our hours of operation are Monday to Friday, 8am to 8pm Eastern.

I am also based in Chicago, in similar situation. My I751 is Ready to be schedule an interview for an interview for 13 months now. My I797 extension letter is expiring this week. While I remain in status until adjudication. This means I cannot travel outside the country or drive as my IL driver's license is also expiring and cannot renew.

I called to make an infopass appointment to get a I-551 stamp but now they take 20-30 days for the Immigration Officer to call you back. I hope there are appointments available at the Chicago office to at least obtain a stamp.
