Hi, I got my interview on july 07 2005. As of today no news at all. I went to the immigration office but the officer does not know more than what the computer tells him. I been traveling with my parole (hong kong, Costa Rica,Peru,Malasya etc.) whitout any problems. And I applied for my work permit over the internet you have to pay every year only the first year is free. Any news i'll be posting it here .
Well the case was schedule for a Interview on November 16, which was yesterday, at the Los Angeles USCIS office. Going there was a nerve wreck since you never know what to expect.. I waited in the lobby for the entire time so I would know.. Well the interviwed lasted for a little over 20 minutes. And it seems everything went well. The officer had all the documents provided to USCIS by me with the application, about 2 inches worth of documents. He did the swearing in.. etc.. The interviewed only consisted of one questions.. When did the departures and entries to the US occur and for what reason. Once that was answered he just asked if there were any arrests and so on, and he asked for any questions the applicant might have.. there was one, and the Officer laughed.. The interview was over, he said there should be a decision VERY soon, but that everything looked pretty good. Very fast and to the point interview.
I guess there was no need for further questions since there were 4 affidavits by USC's.. There was about 20 articles of evidence from US government agencies from 1981-1988 that were sent in with the application. So everything was clear.
What I think is that they do is analyze your case prior to the interview and with the VERY strong case presented to him he had no choice but to just ask relevant questions to establish the eligibility to the Class Membership in this case CSS.
So if you're commiting fraud, taking shady evidence, they'll know right away, you don't have a chance. YOU DON'T HAVE A CHANCE I REPEAT. A man went in there for an interview and he was commiting fraud because he said he came to the US in 1987 and left on and off and didn't come out of the interview for the time I was there (2 hrs or so) So he might of been deported for all you know.. The LA office isn't playing games..

Hi Caliguy,
I had my interview 30 days ago at the Los Angeles office as well.
The officer told my laywer to wait about a month or so for an answer.
My lawyer told me that if 45 days has passed since the interview, she was going back to the LA office to inquire with the officer (we got his name).
I'll let you guys know what happens.

Hi caliguy,
That's what mine also says now. I think the USCIS changed some of their messages. Maybe to be more understandable?
I created an account with the USCIS to keep track of my case. It shows you the last date your file got updated and you can also opt to have the system send you an e-mail notifying you that your case has been updated.
Originally posted by caliguy: The weird coincidence is that i've only read about the change for people who have already had an interview.
or maybe USCIS just changed the messages, but it would be too much of a coincidence..
That's true. I hope CIS is ready to adjucate these cases. That would be a GREAT xmas present!.
Or maybe is just my wishful thinking...
Hey caliguy, when I went to my interview, at the end of it, my lawyer asked the officer if she need it anything else so we could start working on it right away. She said that she had everything and that we should hear back within 30 days. Today is day 31.
Caliguy & Freedom, my status also shows the same; fingertprint accepted, receipt notice mailed, and case pending. Mine first said; fingerprint fee received and processing has resumed. Now it says fingerprint fe ACCEPTED, that's got to mean something good. Anyhew, I am going to remain optimistic and hope for the best.
I am getting the same updated message now. I have one question...My LIFE application shows that it is in California Service center but my I-678 and I-131 in MIssiouri Service center.. why is that? Does anybody have any idea?.. I live in ATlanta..why my LIFE case in California???? not in Missourri...
Too many applicants got interviewed for css/lulac late amnesty I-687 and after more than two yeas they still waiting for decision.
The button line is USCIS or the government not abiding by the court settlement and they are above the law no mater you like or not. Let your lawyer contact the center for human right Peter Schey and discuss the issue with him. We need a new class action to force USCIS to process these applications in timely manner otherwise we goanna keep waiting for ever.
Well just a little update... The case has moved from Los Angeles Office --> Missouri Office --> National Benefits Center
As you can see from a post above by me, the case was in Missouri Service Center, and it was like that for months since the interview. Now, well I guess I just noticed, some hope.. It seems it is in the last step before getting adjucated. Well I hope this gets resolved soon, been waiting for anything to happen for a long time.
Originally posted by CARPI: Hi, I had my interview well, my third enterview for lulac.It went perfect a couple of questions, nice officer etc.etc She told me to wait 30 days. Well that was back on July 2005 30 days ago (more than a year 1/2 later)I received an intent of denial.
I was reading the proposed settlement of the legalization class action lawsuit that is ongoing in the Washington Western District Court,
Class definition:
All persons who entered the United States prior to January 1, 1982, who are otherwise eligible for legalization under INA §245A, 8 U.S.C. §1255a, and 1) who were deterred from timely filing an application for legalization because of INS's regulations and policies, or 2) who filed a legalization application and a) the application remains pending, or b) the application was denied, or c) the application was granted and then later the applicant was subjected to the termination process, or d) the applicant has otherwise not been approved for permanent resident status, and who:
[1] Violated the terms of their nonimmigrant status prior to January 1, 1982 in a manner known to the government because documentation (including the absence of certain records) existed in one or more government agencies which, taken as a whole, would warrant a finding that the applicant was in an unlawful status prior to January 1, 1982; or [2] Violated the terms of their nonimmigrant visas prior to January 1, 1982 and whose violations were required to be made known to the INS pursuant to then existing regulations, but who are unable pursuant to 8 C.F.R. §245a.1(d) and §245a.2(d) to establish to the satisfaction of the INS for purposes of legalization eligibility that such violations were made known to INS because INS either destroyed such records or failed to store or otherwise record such information in the official Service alien file; or [3] After January 1, 1982 continuously maintained an unlawful residence in the United States and who, after January 1, 1982 applied for and unlawfully received a reinstatement to nonimmigrant status, change of nonimmigrant status pursuant to INA §248, adjustment of status pursuant to INA §245, or some other immigration benefit from INS, or the Department of State.
There is also language in the settlement that Defendent (USCIS) will not deport someone until they disprove a plaintiff's case. I haven't heard deportation language before. And the plaintiff's attorney's seem to be ok with it.
