Does America not want me as a citizen??

I filed my N400 in Jan 2002, I was fingerprinted in April 2002, had interview scheduled for July 2002. This was " descheduled" due to unforseen circumstances in June, after numreous phone calls and hours of waiting on hold, I finally got to speak to an INS Information Officer, who put me back on the list to be scheduled for interview, 2 weeks later I received another interview letter, this time in Miami Florida on January 29th 2003, the previous appointment was Orlando Florida (a lot closer to home).

Today I have received another letter from the INS saying that due to unforeseen circumstances, my interview in January has been cancelled, and they will inform me of any other action by seperate cover.

Does anyone have any idea what is going on??, I have seen other people in Orlando getting from filing to oath in less than 6 months recently, and it looks like mine is going to be well over a year, that is if they reschedule an appointment and actually keep it.

Also, how long are my fingerprints valid, will I have another problem if my actual interview is more than a year from my fingerprint date.

Please, if anyone can give me ideas as to what is going on, please reply, or if anyone else is going through the same things please give me your experiences.

Thanks in anticipation,

Simon Bland

INS recently instituted a new policy that no benefits are to be granted
until the FBI and CIA actually respond to new background checks. Since
this policy started in October, a substantial backlog has developed,
although the hope is that this is only temporary.

Fingerprints are good for 15 months.
