So we have been waiting 27 months-filed mid-August 2003. Any other 2003 people from New York still out there?

Rete

Yes, in fact one is reporting in today on her AOS interview and another is set to go either today or tomorrow in Garden City and yet another yesterday is still waiting after 2 or more years.

Thanks Rete--haven't been viewing recently as was home on maternity leave until today.

We filed in December 2003. The AOS was transferred to the California Service Center in early October 2005. We're still waiting.

Filed Sep 2003. Interviewed in Garden City Sept 2005. Waiting for namecheck clearance.

Just got my third AP and waiting for third EAD.

It's so sad. I was so patient for so long, now I just want to cry.

Add me to the NEW YORK list.

I filed for AOS in October 2003, file was sent to CSC September 20th 2005, had a couple of touches mid October, but nothing since!...the waiting continues.

For those whose AOS file has been transferred to CSC here is a valubale thread.

October 8th 2002 NYC
Just got an interview for Feb 2006.

It seems a lot of us got shafted by the USCIS with our timelines. Its not fair but what can you do?

Are you aware that last year alone, USCIS processed 7.3 million applications and received 5.9 million more? That's almost 28,000 per day! Puts things in perspective, eh?

That is true, but when many people are getting interviews within months, while others like my husband and some of the other posters are waiting well over 2 years, makes you wonder, does it not? Esp since in NYC the pilot program people were getting their green cards in a couple of months. And as even non-pilot program people who filed later than us have gotten interviews, how can you blame people for starting to feel frustrated? First in first out is fairest (millions of applications or not), but that does not seem to be the way they work yet. Hope they manage to fix that someday soon.

ian-mstm

Are you suggesting that if someone's application is stalled for whatever reason, that everyone whose application was received afterwards should remain stalled for the sake of the first application? I don't know about you, but I'd hate to be stalled for months or years for no other reason than the guy right before me got a hit on his name! What does a hit on his name have to do with my eligibility for USCIS benefits?

Ian

I'm not suggesting that. But there are plenty of cases that were stalled not for name check reasons, but because they fell through the cracks of the processing speed-up and just have not been worked on at all yet.

Visitor

I know they are overwhelmed with the deluge of applications.
All I would like to see is that they process applications in the order they were received.
That's logical right?
