Our GC was approved while we were on vacation in India. On our return at airport were paroled in by the seconday inpsection. When I mentioned it to the officer that our GC has been approved he said unless I present proof he doesn't know anything. I checked my mail last night and we have...

After 10 long years in US and more than 5.5 years in the GC process, we finally received the card production ordered emails. After spending 10 years on the "temporary" H1B status, I have become so skeptical that I am not sure if I have been approved. The process dragged on for so long that...

We are planning to travel to Indian soon and will be using AP to return. Can anyone post their AP experience at SFO? 1. What docs to carry? 2. What copies to carry? 3. Secondary inspection expected? 4. Any specific questions at the port of entry?

Since this forum has a lot of ppl who have had EAD/AP for years someone might know this. Do you know if USCIS lets you petition for renewal of EAD/AP only 4 months before expiry? Our legal assistant says that they can not apply for renewal until its 4 months to expiry. I was under the...

ok, so I just tried calling NSC using POJ and ended up reaching the National Service Center. They told me that the case is still withing processing times and will take 6 months at least. In the past NSC has told me that it is pending name check. I feel completely hopeless about it. We can't...

I don't know if it is just my wishful thinking but I am continously seeing a few approvals here and there for 2001-2003 cases from NSC. I think they are actively working on older cases first. I know they are supposed to be processing based on RD and then take PD into consideration but I see...

Ok, so I am a bit new to the 485 process. It looks like I am officially in the NC process. I called NSC today and the IO said that my application is pending "Background Security Check". He won't tell me anything more than that. Is there any way to get any more information? Should I...

Hello Folks, I am starting this consolidated I-485 thread for all the folks who are coming out of the BEC mess after spending anywhere between 3 to 5 years and are filing/have filed I 1485. I would encourage everyone to discuss the following: 1. Document requirements for 1485. 2. What...

So after years and years of waiting for the much coveted EAD (forget GC... that's still far) it looks like we might get our EAD in the next few days/weeks. My wife has been on H4 all these years and she would (obviously) like her to start working once she gets the EAD. Can experienced ppl on...

Anyone here have any idea how long it is taking to get EAD from NSC these days? Its been 2 months and I haven't received it yet. I have heard that if you don't get it in 90 days you can walk into a local USCIS office and request it. How true is this? Also, any idea how long AP is taking...

After years and years of waiting finally we have been able to file 485 and have received a notice from USCIS to appear for a biometric exam: Can anyone tell me what documents to take: 1. USCIS Notice. 2. Passports 3. Latest I-797 approval notice 4. Anything else? Also, what exactly...

ok, so there are forums for all service centers for 140 but I heard that all cases for 140 now go to NSC. Is this true? If it is, is it true that NSC is very active in denying cases for education evaluation or ability to pay? For someone with a 3 year B.Sc + 3 Year MCA, how does EB2 look...

My LC finally cleared from the BEC and I am eligible to file 140/485. I am tempted to file I 140 in premium. [It does mean that I will have to shell out extra 1.5 K] My questions are: 1. Does it if 140 clears in two weeks it will make 485 easier to process? 2. When does the I 485...

My LC finally cleared after 4+ years of waiting. I am tempted to file I 140 in premium. It does mean that I will have to shell out extra 1.5 K but it seems to me that if 140 clears in two weeks it will make 485 easier to process? [in other words, does anyone here see any other advantages of...

Can anyone please post the list of documents required to file I 140. Also, is it worth filing 140 in premium? Does it help the decision making of 485 in any way?

Guys, Can someone post a list of documents that are required to file I-485. I am sure this has been discussed here previously but I just got out the blackhole called PBEC so I don't know much about 140/485

My wife went for H4 visa stamping in New Delhi embassy yesterday. The visa officer asked her a couple of questions, then asked for my I797 approval notice. He kept the passport and the approval notice and said they will mail the passport with visa. Do they mail the I797 back with passport? I...
