Call using POJ method. They will tell you the current status. I called them yesterday..they said I am just waiting for visa number.that is final stage before approval..

USCIS is now paying more attention to older cases ( with RD 2003-2006) , if they are really doing that , then those with RD 2007,2008 may need to wait a little more.

Here is the POJ trick to skip National Service Center and directly go to service centers.

1-800-375-5283 and the options are 1,2,2,6,1, receipt #,1(for TSC),1,3,4

Your call will be directed to TSC/NSC and you get a chance to representatives/IO who have better idea and access than representatives at National SC who just type out receipt # and let us know the status which we can see ourselves online

Called the USCIS today and got a very nice IO. He told me I am still pending name check and since its been pending name check since more then 6 months, and since the visa numbers become available in April it will be picked up in the sweep. I should hear something about it by end of april.

how would USCIS know abt PD of 485 if 140 is approved after filing 485. 140 and 485 carry different A# and No PD mentioned on 485 receipt but it is mentioned on 140 approval.

Any guess ?

Mine is Dec 2002 but 14o is not yet approved ... do you think TSC will pick up as a part of new pilot processing

I asked her if she can tell me about my Name Check staus she said she does not have that informatin in her sytem and added that when they respond to my querry I probably may get answer to my question.

you should have same A# on 485 receipt and 140 approval.

Posted by GodGiveMeMyGC (253) 26 Mar 2008
no.. they are different.. I guess many people have different A# on these receipts. Even for folks whose 140 was approved before filing 485.

That's true. I called last week (PD Nov 2004/ND Jun 2007) they told me is too soon to ask. "Just call after 60 days of your Processing Date"

I asked "what do you mean?"

"Well right now NCS processing date is July 2007 so you have to until this date move at least more than 60 days after yours.....

I am still waiting!!!!!

By the way, she told me that right now for I-485 I have to look first the processing date and then PD. I don't really know if this is true......

Name Check Cleared on JAN 2008

Today called to NSC and as per CSR/IO my case is in queue to assign to an Officer. she has no clue how many days it will take, may be a day / few day / 60 days. she told me if I don't hear anything then call them after 60 days.

It is frustrating to see that some people come here to get their questions answered but never update their profile on trackitt. What are they losing by having the profile updated; it is insane.

POJ keystrokes remain the same - once you enter your receipt#, the call gets routed to the correct Svc Ctr.

100%....its possible You may not get it in this month but inthe next couple of months or so. usually an approvable case (priority date current, checks ok etc) will get assigned to an IO, now it depends on that IO's schedule , vacation etc

Look at NSC , India EB2 with PD Nov 2003 getting approved !
TSC can salivate at the rate of approval of NSC.
I tend to believe what rks said : TSC is setting aside the name check pending cases.
