Topic: I-485 Second Fingerprinting
Yes I had my 2nd fingerprinting done but apparently they did not go though so I had a 3rd one done and a 4th one done. The 3rd was also code 2 the 4th was code 1. It was a routine process. |
Topic: Can I sue (writt of Mandamus) my local office?
I would contact the USCIS Ombudsman office before wasting money on a lawsuit. I was in a similar situation until I sent a letter to the Ombudsman "DHS Form 7001". About 1 month later I got approved. I sent the letter on June 13th and I was approved on July 22nd. Once my complaint to the Ombudsman went through an IO was assigned to the case. The IO even called me to verify that I went for a second fingerprinting.
I have tried service requests, contacted senator, congressman sent faxes to the service center none was able to help but the Ombudsman did. |
Topic: Card Ordered
It was at TSC. It was originally at VSC but back in 2005 USCIS transferred it to TSC. |
Topic: Card Ordered
Today my LUD changed to "Card Ordered", I am glad it is over. It only took 1558 days, 5 EAD's, 5 Travel paroles, 4 fingerprinting visits, letters to Congressman, Senator, FBI, TSC and Ombudsman. |
Topic: HELP!! Biometrics Frustration
My first biometrics were taken in 2005 (I-485 case pending since 2004) about one month ago I got a request from USCIS for biometrics code 2. I went to a USCIS office and got them taken in June. This past Thursday I got a phone call from a USCIS immigration officer asking me if I received the request to go get biometrics taken and I replied yes and I had them done in June for some reason it did not appear on USCIS database (By the way I sent a complaint to the USCIS Ombudsman office on June 13th about my case and I guess it made its way to an IO).
When I got home on Thursday there was a letter in the mail requesting that I go to the USCIS local office on July 9th for biometrics code 2 I guess this must be the request the IO was calling about. Today I got yet another request for biometrics to be done on July 10th this time code 1. This makes it three biometrics appointments in less than one month.
I called my lawyer and he has no idea what is going on he seems more confused than I am. Has anyone else experienced such a thing? |
Topic: Case Transfered to Another Office for Processing
The status on the 1-800 number has not changed since March 15, 2007 when the application was transferred to TSC. This I-485 application has been pending for more than 4 years. I have no criminal record, no DUI not even a parking ticket and I have been living in the US since 1993 (F1 visas from 1993 until 2001, H1B from 2001 to 2004 and pending I-485 ever since). For some weird reason USCIS keeps postponing my case. |
Topic: Case Transfered to Another Office for Processing
I have not received any updates or notices indicating where it was transferred too. My lawyer is suspecting it was sent to a local office so they can interview me which I find a little bit odd since this is an EB2 based application. |
Topic: Case Transfered to Another Office for Processing
I got my Biometrics code 2 done today. Couple of hours later CRIS updated the status to:Case Transfered to Another Office for Processing. The case is still at TSC. Why would they transfer it to another office inside TSC? I had a transfer from VSC to TSC back in March 2007. This does not make sense to me. Why would they transfer the case again and only two hours after completing biometrics? |
Topic: I-485 Second Fingerprinting
I received a letter today from USCIS to go get my biometrics (Code 2) taken. My I-485 case has been stuck in background check since the first fingerprinting in 2005. Does this mean my background check is complete? Does code 2 has any significance on how long it will take before the I-485 application is approved? |
Topic: How to write a letter to a senator/congressman.
I am in the same situation. I just sent a letter to the Ombudsman today I hope it goes through. I previously contacted a Senator and his office sent a fax to USCIS. The response from USCIS "Case pending due to outside processing" I get the same response every time I contact them.
I was told by the local USCIS office to write a letter to the Texas Service Center where my application is pending. Have anyone tried this? |
