Topic: My lawyer got a call from TSC
This is also what happend to my wife. My application was approved back in June 2008 and here was still pending so we raised a service request and they sent us a letter saying that here biometrics were missing. So we called TSC and went for infopass they told us that here biometrics are done and here background checks are cleared as well. The IO at infopass sent two e-mails one to the IT guys to let them know that TSC is not able to access the biometrics and the second one to the adjustment dept at TSC to let them know that the biometrics are not missing and they should get in touch with their IT guys to update their system. |

Topic: I-485 approved for primary applicant but spouse still waiting
Me and my wife have the same situation. my application was approved month ago while her is still pending. So during these five month we called uscis many times and went for infopass twice and raised two service requests and we came to know that her application got separated from mine and since then we heard every execuse they can come up with from lost biometrics in their database to actively processing her application and finally they told us that we need to wait for six month before calling them again.
So I think you need to call them and let them know your situation and hopefully you will have a better luck than us. |

Topic: I 140 withdrawal mandatory?
Your lawyer is right. Employers are required to withdraw any I-140 as well as any H1B if the employee leave them prior to his GC approval. |

Topic: Does any have experience in seeing their 485 approved but their family dependents taking longer?
Thats exactly what happened to my wife. First they asked us to call a week or two weeks later. And you know what? Until now she did not get her's yet (more than four months since mine was approved). We called about 5 times, sent two letters to TSC, and went for two infopass appointments. In each time they ask us to wait for 30 more days and she should receive her approval!!
I think its all going wrong and nothing is predictable when it comes to dealing with USCIS. We just hope that we will not be stuck for ever. |

Topic: 70days + passed and still no answer in my RFE
Your PD is not current so they can not approve your case. Most likely your case is pre-adjudicated and once your PD become current they will send you they approval. |

Topic: Accuracy of www.imminav.com
Their statistics are based on users using their LUD tracking system through igoogle which means nothing as they do not say how many I-140, I-485, I-130, I-129..etc applications are in their system. |

Topic: Who will be first in line?
No one can tell you for sure how USCIS works and who goes first. But my recommendation that you contact the embassy yourself and make them aware that your PD is current as of March 1st and they can obtain a visa for you.
Good luck |

Maybe it's a step toward closing his office and save the embarrassment that he and his office give them every year in his annual report! |

Topic: OUT OF STATUS, GC WAS APPROVED
Actually the law [section 245(i) of INA] give amnesty all the time by filing I-485 supplement A and pay $1000 beside the $1010 application and biometric fees.
Section 245(i) of the Act allows certain aliens to file for adjustment of status upon payment of a penalty fee of $1,000, even though some of the conditions required by section 245(a) and (c) of the Act are not met. Aliens in the United States who have an immigrant visa immediately available, but who entered the United States without inspection, remained in the United States past the period of admission, worked unlawfully, or are otherwise ineligible for adjustment of status under section 245(c) of the Act must submit this form along with Form I-485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status.
you can find the exact above statment on USCIS website after downloading supplement A instructions. |

Topic: 02/10 LUD on approved 140.
Lately there are many threads talking about LUDs that happen during weekend on already approved I-140 and I-129 and their significance. Many think that this is just a system generated LUDs and nothing actually happening. But in your case I can see on your profile that you got two LUDs on your approved I-140 and that fact that the second LUD triggered an e-mail from CRIS (which does not happen on weekend LUD) make me think that something is happening on your case for real. |

Topic: no green card or H1-B (unbelievable discrimination)
Hi Sunrise,
I been living in Boston suburb for almost a year now and I have noticed that in the New England area (MA, VT, NH, CT, ME and RI) there is a rising anti-immigration voice by some business owners and even some of them is anti-out-of-the-area hiring. They want local everything (agriculture, industry, healthcare ...etc). On the other hand at the level of mega biotech companies (which are abundant in the area) they fight to increase the quota of H-1B as their demand for employees exceeds what they can find among USA citizens. And believe me good luck for that company if they can fill all their vacant jobs with USA citizens only specially in that type of business. |

Topic: Name Check and approvals
As most of us here on Trackitt I was surprised with the recent news that I-485 will be approved if name check is pending for more than 180 days and all other security checks is cleared. When I came to my sense I realized that this will have for sure a huge impact on rate of approval over the next few months and subsequently the availability of visas for the rest of the year and probably next year as well. Per USCIS there are about 350,000 applications pending NC clearance. If ones assume that 1/3 of them are EB I-485 this will translate into more than 100,000 visas are required to adjudicate all of them. This will for sure make DOS to push back the cutoff date for the categories with higher demand. I would not be surprised if the cutoff dates retrogress for EB3 for all chargeability and probably EB2 for RoW (probably Jan 2007 as they did after July fiasco). This might not happen for the upcoming month as we are less than 10 days away from March VB and USCIS will not be able to request so many visas but for sure it will happen in April VB. I by no means want to put anyone down but the problem for most of us is not name check but rather the availability of a visa number!
Good luck everyone. |

Topic: approvals??
I do not know how reliable this website is
http://www.immigrationwatch.com/uscis-most-rece...
but they used to show a total of 120-150 I-485 applications being processed everyday at both TSC and NSC but since Monday they are showing that zero new I-485 applications being touched! Their numbers correlate very well with the numbers of approval here on Trackitt! Very interesting and makes one wonders what are they doing these days at TSC and NSC? I think we just have to wait and see what USCIS will come up with in the next few weeks!
The waiting game will never end! |

Topic: Processing Center
As your employer (the petitioner of the I-140) is in Texas your application will remain in Texas and consequently the concurrently filed I-485 but still you will need to change your address to the NY one so they can send you any notices (specially GC when approved) in the future
Good luck |

Topic: LUD on my previously approved H1B
I got a soft LUD on 1/27/08 for my H-1B which was approved on 5/3/2007. Also I got a soft LUD on 11/25/2007 for my I-140 which was approved on 9/4/2007. I was initially excited to see those LUDs as it might be a sign that USCIS is working on my I-485. But when I checked the status of other I-129 and I-140 applications that were filed on the same day as my I-129 and I-140 I found that all those applications that I could find (and were filed on the same day) has the same LUD as mine. This was a little surprise but made me think that this is a system update nothing more. Now I’m back with the waiting game
Good luck everyone |

Sorry to tell you that USCIS processing is based on Notice date not Receive date after, based on many posting on this site, specially after July/August fiasco. |
