Hello folks,

I received my interview letter yesterday – the date has been set for March 17 at the Garden City office. The letter was sent from the MSC on an I-797 form and it arrived at my new address (so they must have received one of my six change-of-address letters!)

The case status online still says, “your interview was cancelled�. For those who have been following my case – I decided to cancel my Infopass appointment to ask about this (I decided to wait the full two years before enquiring). I wrote to NYC instead about a month ago – never received a respone.

While I am very excited, I feel bad for those who are still waiting, especially from 2002. There seems to be no rhyme or reason to the order in which interviews are done. For example mrsm, a fellow New-Yorker applied around the same time as me but had her interview last spring. No logical explanation!

So – now to work on the list of information they have requested we bring! Will keep you posted.

Cheers
Peter

Congrats Peter , I just had interview in Garden City on Jan 11, it went very well but the back ground checks were not done yet. So I am back to waiting for the back ground checks.

Thanks for posting Peter, at least it gives me hope! We filed our paperwork in Feb 2003 and haven't heard anything...our online status states:

"On December 4, 2003, your fingerprint fee was accepted as complete, and processing of your case has resumed"

the wait is a killer, especially since we have friends in NYC that filed their AOS paperwork 3 months ago and have their interviews already!!!! I love them but it's so hard, especially because my husband hasn't been able to go home to Dublin for years. (overstay)

Good luck with your interview!

I can't believe this keeps happening to people who applied after me. What the hell? I applied in November 2002. The absurdity of this whole thing is starting to drive me crazy!

Anyway I'm glad your wait is over. Crack open a bottle of something to celebrate.

Peter, congrats!

Visitor - I hear ya... I filed in August 2002 and still am waiting! I wrote to USCIS Ombudsman, they got my letter on 01/11/2005. Let's see what happens... If there is no action within 30 days - I am going to call all major TV stations and invite them to watch me protest by starting a hunger strike in front of Jacob-Whoever building. Anyone with me?

Congratulations Pete, I guess it was good timing going for your medical when you did huh? Or fate

Best of luck.

Hallelujah!
Congratulations Peter, I'm sure that everything will go well. Our actual interview took all of ten minutes, the officer was only interested in our finances, had a quick gander at some of our photos and we were out of there.
There really isn't any logic to the system, you and I filing at the same time, yet having our interviews 9 months apart. Hope that all you folks waiting for two plus years in NYC for your interviews receive good news soon.

Thank you. My wife's about fed up with waiting now, and is getting ready to write a few letters to our state's representatives and local congressman.

Peter Newton

I am keeping my fingers crossed for you. It's about bloody time they called you!

Peter Newton

Thanks! Sorry- for some reason I thought your interview was in April, not July. Last year was such a blur...

Hope all is well with you
Cheers
Peter
