Nope! Doesn't allow me to do that. Just RH mouse click on the link I first posted and look at Properties.

Typing:
"USCIS Application and Receipting Update"
into Google gives you the link I used.

Oh I understand you now

While the links 'read' as truncated & strange, they will work if you click through.

Another way to deal with those long links is to use a text label for them.

Write the title of the page: USCIS Application and Receipting Update and highlight that text.
Now click the little button that looks like a globe+paperclip and paste the dynamic (long) link in the popup dialog box.

That puts the link 'in' your text and tidies up your post. See how the text is highlighted and underlined?

Now you just have to hope that their insane website doesn't randomly change the link, as they often do.

HTH.

Yep, I understand all this, but I wasn't sure how IT savvy you were! I think that the USCIS site logs the web enquiries and gives them a different (128bit-encoded) extension. And yes, one can rename the links. I'm just lazy! I was looking for the Vermont updates in terms of receipt of documents (my N-400 went in around a month ago) and just seeing when at least I'll get the acknowledgement. Obviously each case is different and each stage (especially name check) can take a different time, but one doesn't get to Stage 2 without Stage 1 happening first!

I just saw your post here, Rene. I don't think that's the case, unfortunately -- at least not at our district office (Norfolk). According to Norfolk's processing timeline webpage, they're taking 7 months to process N400s. We've already been waiting 7 months and 3 weeks. I'm starting to get a little antsy -- and that's saying something!!

Oh, I know...right after that, or around that time, they slowed wwwaaaayyyy down, now I hear it's more like up to a year or more. Ugh.

Maybe it will help someone, then, while you and I rule the IT world.

Looks like VSC is receipting N-400 from 9/5/07 and earlier.
Processing time will be dependent on the Local Office times, as discussed.


On the '6 month' thing, I think that is their stated goal from the last backlog reduction scheme. Most office are running pretty close to it.. of course what the future holds is anyone's guess!

What's disheartening is the fact that Mark applied well before July 30th when the fees went up. It took about 3 weeks for him to get his receipt notice, and about 4 weeks to get his fingerprint appointment from Norfolk. Since then, nothing. In a way I'm hoping that if I start to complain, we'll hear something sooner!

For once it looks like NSC is the one to be with. Receipting from 11.26.07; pretty much current in the world of immigration. They received Mr. P's N-400 on Nov. 29th and cashed the check the same day. Maybe it's payback for waiting over six months for the I-129F back in 2003?

Hi, have you tried contacting your congressman to see if they can get some information about your case?
I contacted mine & they sent me a letter saying that they contacted USCIS, & I'm in the queue for an interview & that it would be scheduled in the near future. Kinda open ended answer, but at least made me feel like I may get my interview letter soon.

I applied via TSC, Memphis is my DO.

Sent app early June, fingerprints early July, then sit back & wait.

Thats not disheartening - what would be disheartening is if you had got stiffed by the extra fees AND then got caught in the quagmire! Hmm, that'd be me.

Personally, I think compaining will do you very little good; USCIS are having a disaster, and all you can do is sit tight.
