Green Cards are actually meant for FUTURE permanent employment. You don't even have to necessarily work with sponsoring employer at the time of filing. However, most attorneys suggest that you work with the sponsoring employer for about 6 months after the approval of your Green card because it...

You cannot compare your case with Kisha's case. He was APPROVED and from what you said you were not approved. You get this kind of message when your case is transferred back to service center from Local office. Local offices do not update status online. So, getting the same kind of message alone...

Looks like it takes about a week for them to order the production of your card once you get this message. See this thread - http://immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?p=1759934#post1759934 and look at Dallas03096 posting. His signature has all timelines. My case was approved by Local office on...

Was your case approved by a Local office? Where was your case trasferred from and where to? How did you know your case was transferred on June 19?If your case is approved by the Local office, they should give you the approval notice and send your file to the Service center to manufacture the...

Dallas03096, Thanks for answering. Just a few more questions for you again - 1. I know I can file about 100 days in advance. But I was wondering whether I could file 160 days in advance. (I want to file within July to avoid increased fee) 2. Do I need to send all the credentials by...

Dallas03096, Sorry to hear all this mess. My and my wife's EB based AOS interview was on June 27, but the officer refused to approve on the same day saying that my background check was not complete even though I was told in 4 different INFOPASS appointments prior to the interview that all of...

dcmetro, I have heard that the Local Field Offices no longer stamp the passport. Are you sure they still do?

shovonbd, Congratulations! Thank you very much for letting everybody know in the forum.

shovonbd, I also got interview notice for me and my wife scheduled on June 27, 2007. The letter was sent out on April 19. The case was transferred to Chicago, IL from NSC on Apr 5, 2007. Original NSC Receipt date is Oct 24, 2006. The letter has asked to bring everything that both...

dcmetro22042, I noticed that you already did the interview about 3 months ago. However, your Passport has not been stamped and you have not gotten the card as per your signature. Is this because your visa number is retrogressed or for some other reason? I thought the adjudication officer...

I changed my address only using online AR-11 form, and did not change address online on my pending application because the pending application already has my new address (I gave my new address when the application was filed). So, I do not know the answer of your question. I can only guess that...

See answers below:

My receipt date is Oct 24, 2006. You said that the LA office is processing cases for Sep 13 as per USCIS March 15 processing dates. But Sep 13 is the date that there service level goal has to meet and it's not the actual processing date. USCIS has changed the way it reports the processing...

I received the letters about the case transfers for me and my wife today, and they also mention the same thing "to speed up processing". I had an Infopass appointment just yesterday and I was informed that USCIS wanted to conduct an interview and hence transferred my case to the local office...

Try this - but I'm not 100% sure that it works: 1-800-375-5283, then 1-2-2-6-1, then LIN#, press 1 for correct, then 3, and then finally 4. Don't worry about whatever messages it gives as you press these numbers. If this works, let us know in this forum.
