Topic: Cross Chargeability Question


I just got over the phone with NSC - IO.
I wanted to verfiy whether my case was being done under Cross charge (My wife is from Russia)

She verified that our cases (me and my wife)were together and said that while filing if the request of cross charge was mentioned then when the adjucator see the file he/she will apply that accordingly.

My receipt date is Aug 6th 07 (EB2 - India) Currently they are processing July 28th 07. She said I should wait another 90-120 days to hear back from them.
I also have sent a letter to NSC about verify cross charge.

My lawyer is also looking into this and will get back to me.
Is there anything else I should doing? Please advice Cross Charge people.



!!Before you read this: please get acquainted with my profile. it has more details on it!!

I am copying the answer that i gave to one of the Fellow CC candidate a few days ago. Hope this helps.

_______________

To answer your question correctly: i have a long and probably not a very helpful explanation but nevertheless - here you go.

I had been inquiring with my lawyers for the past 1 year to check for the CC being applied to my case and i use to get the same old answer from my lawyers office: "if not for your CC, USCIS would have never accepted your Application rjm".

Just FYI: when I applied in December 2006, these CC cases were being cleared in like 3 months with GC in hand. and it just made me frustrated and mad that my case was not being cleared .... and then, last year, in June/July 2007, this window opened up for everybody to apply; so my lawyer office started telling me its being delayed because of number of application recevied by USCIS and we can't do anything till your case becomes current.... all BS.

Anyways, so after that my lawyer generated a service request in December 2007 (told me that i will recieve a written notification by mail) and after 30 days of waiting and no mail, I took an infopass and visited the local office to find out my Name check was pending..... (figures.......)

and holy crap, i get the service request reply from the december service request in first week of May 2008, that due to unavailability of VISA numbers we are unable to process your case and will have to wait till it becomes available.

NOW THIS WAS COMPLETE CRAP and the written proof that my case was not Cross Charged and this time i demanded to speak with the Lawyer at my Lawyer office (till now it was all the time the receptionist - never allowing my call to go further)

The lawyer said; let me look into this and the ONLY thing she told me next day is; "I have faxed the CC letter and the entire application with the written notice and have followed up with our NSC local contact. we should hear from them in a week"

I know you guys would have the question: "NSC local contact?" I was too, and they just won't reveal what sort of contact, person/lawyer/immigration officer/etc. i have no clue.

I was so furious - if you had a contact - why didn't you use it in the first place and why did i have to wait for 1.4 years unnecessarily.....
but kept myself cool -- still my GC is not in hand and might need their help in the recent future. I am just taking the solace in the fact that after they contacted their person at NSC within 10 days i got a RFE - within next 10 days i got a second FP order and within next 5 days an email stating that "Card Production Ordered"

The fact that the Lawyers have internal connections is so damn true.

God Bless us All

Topic: Renewing Driver's License after GC

Hi all,

I read somewhere to renew DL after GC approval.
Why do we need to renew?
Should all of us renew or is there a specific code on the DL that calls for renewing?
If so, what is the time limit to get it renewed.

Any suggestions?

Topic: Notice Welecoming vs Card Production email


I got the physical welecome notice yesterday 6/28. It feels good to have some paper in hand hoping I will get the green next week. The only online status change for me was from pending to CPO on 6/24.



gc101:

I got the CPO email on 6/24 and received physical cards on 6/28. so probably today is the day that you should get them.
Goodluck.

Got two emails today for my and my spouse.

Notice mailed to welcome the new permanent residents.

Phewwww......
Thank you folks for all your help.

Is this email equivalent to an Approval Notice? or is that something i would get before the card production order?

Thank you, once again.
