Topic: Stamping on passport
NO, stamping is no longer done. Because there is no substantial delay between the issuance of email notices and the actual GC. Stamping will be only done in special cases or when there is a long delay between the receipt of approval notice and receipt of the actual GC. Found this out yesterday at INFOPASS. | |  |  |

Topic: I-551 on passport after getting GC
Do you need an INFOPass for this or can you do a walk-in. | | | |

Topic: Mailing Physical GC Abroad
here is some information from another source:
A lawful permanent resident, which is what you are now, who is returning from a temporary trip abroad must present:
A valid, unexpired immigrant visa;
A valid, unexpired Form I-551, Permanent Resident Card, if seeking readmission after a temporary absence of less than 1 year,
A valid, unexpired Form I-327, Permit to Reenter the United States; or
A valid, unexpired Form I-571, Refugee Travel Document.
As you are not in possession of any of these documents, you should report to a U.S. embassy or consulate outside the U.S. and request a Transportation Letter so that the airline will be able to board you.
Once you arrive in the U.S., the inspectors at the port-of-entry will figure out a way to handle your case. If you attempt to enter as a H1B or as a parole, you will be misrepresenting yourself to a federal officer, not a very good way to start out your permanent resident status. | | | |

Topic: Mailing Physical GC Abroad
The AP becomes null and void because you are no longer a parolee, but LPR. So, if you are LPR you cannot be paroled back into the United States. The LPR becomes a valid form of entry and work authorization.
Well, basically, according to the IO from INFOPASS this morning, you can re-enter the US on Advance Parole you have to use Green Card to re-enter the US after your 1-485 is approved. | | | |

Another issue to keep in mind is that ADIT processing info including in CRIS email is deceptive, if you have already done your biometrics and if it was okay, you are all set. Unless and otherwise, you get specific written instructions to do another FP, you get the GC in mail and you are set-you are LPR--that is the end of the road. | | | |

Topic: Mailing Physical GC Abroad
Folks,
Did anyone you know have had the experience of having travel before receiving the physical GC, if so did you travel, if you did how did you re-enter and, did any of you have someone open your mail box and FEDEX the GC to you abroad.
Thanks in advance for your replies. | | | |

Topic: Physical Card and Card approval copies tracker
ajs4123, thanks for the advice, much appreciate it. Will do the same. This was much hunch, but wanted to check here. I have also contacted my lawyer's office, but friday evening, they are out partying I guess.
Thanks | | | |

Topic: Physical Card and Card approval copies tracker
Folks,
Out of the blue, the magic email arrived few hours ago "Card Production Ordered". I am still processing this news. Whew!!! (This is it Right?)
But, to the question now, I am scheduled to leave the country on 13th Dec. I am not sure I will receive the Physical Green Card before I leave and I don't want to change my travel plans because it is too difficult and costly. What steps should I take now. Off course, I have my AP with me.
Any assistance is highly valued--Thanks | | | |

Topic: Name check delay causes
Yup, the more alphabets or more syllables your name has, the longer it takes because they break your name down into many pieces and run checks against their database. So, even a particular part of your name hits a match, then the case is flagged for further checks thereby delaying the processing. | | | |

Topic: Name check delay causes
let me add one more the list, if you have a long name, it apparently causes delays, this is according to the IO who reviewed my case at infopass. | | | |

Topic: How to Contact USCIS and the FBI - 12 Ways
Folks, this is a great list.
I have done everything on the list to expedite the NC (excepting opening SO and FOIPA), nothing, I mean nothing has worked. Nobody is willing to help (Ombud, Senator, Congressperson, FL) absolutely nobody...NC is a huge black hole, also WOM is not much help because it has been closed these days.
All we can do to rave and rant. Huge mess, huge mess, obstacles in every stage, sheer incompetence and bureaucracy. | | | |

Topic: Backlog delays naturalizations
Here is another key quote from today's times
Citizenship and Immigration Services is required by Congress to draw most of its operating budget from fees. When the agency head, Emilio T. Gonzalez, announced the fee increases in January, he pledged that the agency would become more efficient and reduce wait times for deciding applications. Fees for naturalization, for example, increased 66 percent, to $675 from $405.
The agency plans to use the higher revenues to hire 1,500 employees, an increase of about 10 percent over its current staff of 15,000, Mr. Wright said. For the time being, agency employees have volunteered to work overtime to help clear the backlog.
Much of the rush for naturalization came from legal Latino immigrants. Hispanic organizations, including the National Association of Latino Elected and Appointed Officials Educational Fund, and Univision, the Spanish-language television network, led a nationwide naturalization campaign this year in which hundreds of thousands of longtime legal immigrants signed up to become citizens.
Immigration officials said they would work to complete naturalization petitions in time for new citizens to vote in the elections next November. They strongly denied that the delays had any partisan political motivation. | | | |

Topic: Backlog delays naturalizations
Imagine the name check delays this going to cause. You have to go through all the same procedures, FP, name check, all over again after 5 years of residency. Yup, this thing is going to be a fine mess, unless they figure out how to speed up the process. There is a probability that many new immigrants will vote democratic, hence the Republicans will be in no rush to add millions of new voters.
Happy Thanksgiving!!! | | | |

Topic: Name Check
Did the USCIS send this letter out of the blue or did you initiate this inquiry? | | | |

Topic: EB1 & Dec VB: Who has the most recent LUDs?
No LUDs since FP in April, stuck in NC since March 07. Infopass for Tuesday, will check on the status on post more info. | | | |

Topic: Will Auto Accident be reported in FBI database
I am not sure if this info is with the FBI, but this might be in the local police records. Note, that DUI arrests or violations are noted and immigrants can be denied immigration rights. | | | |

Topic: Finger printing disaster
one easy trick to use while getting fp done is not look at the scanner, or the computer screen or at the IO, but look away...look at others, the blank walls, whatever, sort of approach it like surgery and assume that he/she is doctor and they know that they are going to do with your palm.
everyone gets warning matches, not to worry about it. | | | |
