Hi All, This is rather late, but I was notified on April 1 (ha!) that USCIS had ordered my GC! I received it in the mail a few days later. In October' 07 I filed a mandamus suit, then granted two 60-day extensions, a 30-day extension and a 15-day extension. I finally told the US Atty's...

Thanks, lazycis. I updated the wikibook with some information on responses that one should consider if the case is prolonged. I placed the update at the end of section 4.2 in the wikibook. Could you append to or revise this update with any information you may have so it's permanently stored...

Hello, I filed a pro se suit to expedite my green card application. I then agreed to a 60-day extension and then another 30-day extension, which ends today. As I understand it, there are now these options: 1. do nothing 2. ask for default judgment 3. ask for summary judgment 4. ask for...

Congratulations. Which judge was assigned to your case? -Chris

Thanks. Would you mind posting the timeline from your earlier email and a short explanation of how to initiate a discovery on the wikibook? The wiki book has some information on MTDs and how to respond, but nothing on discovery. http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/FBI_name_check

So it's better to try a Discovery before an MSJ? Or is just an equally effective alternative? -Chris

Thanks, if I serve it myself by certified mail and the court raises an issue, is there a precedent I can cite to show that service by USPS employee is OK? -Chris

All, The federal rules regarding service of summons state "Service may be effected by any person who is not a party". From the context, this refers to all forms of service, not just service in person. So how should I serve the defendants and USA? I'm thinking of asking a friend to do it...

Once I get my green card, can I continue to travel using advance parole while my first application for a re-entry permit is pending?

Never mind. I found it through google: http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=d502194d3e88d010VgnVCM10000048f3d6a1RCRD&vgnextchannel=1847c9ee2f82b010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1RCRD or http://tinyurl.com/ydo7dq

I did get a receipt and went for an Infopass. They confirmed that my EAD was adjudicated on August 15 but couldn't see that it was denied or the reason for denial. My EAD expires on January 13, 2008. My receipt date for my renewal application is July 26, 2007. Can you point me to the page on...

Hello All, I applied for an EAD renewal in July 2007, which is very early because my EAD expires in Dec 2007. I got a notice in August 2007 that (if I remember correctly) stated that my application was too early. Unfortunately I lost the original letter, even though I'm generally a meticulous...

Here are three of the four successful naturalization orders. I'm sorry I had "see attachment" next to Rehman in my previous message. I don't have that case yet.

I've been analyzing N.D. Ga. (Northern District of Georgia) cases. I found four favorable cases, all naturalization related, and two unfavorable cases, where the judge agreed with the defendants' MTD. I'm still doing research but here are my notes so far. Hope this is helpful to other...

Hello All, I've been comparing the first of complaints with the addresses to which people are mailing their complaints. It seems as though plaintiffs usually mail their summons to the Office of General Counsel/Chief Counsel but name the defendant at their actual address on the first page of the...

Also, does it matter if in one's complaint one cites a judge's order that pertained to a MTD rather than a complaint? I don't think it does, but I just wanted to check for other opinions. -Chris

Regarding cases to cite in I-485 mandamus cases, I've noticed that the typical complaint cites about five cases, where as the Opposition to MTD has a table of authorities with about 40 cases. Is there any reason that it is beneficial to the plaintiff to cite only a few cases in a complaint but...

Google white house phone number or go to http://www.whitehouse.gov/contact/ and use the switchboard number. _Chris

Thanks. Some news regarding letters to the First Lady. I called her office today because I didn't receive a response from her. The assistant told me that my letter was received and forwarded to the "agency" (meaning the FBI, I assume) about six weeks later. She said that the agency typically...

Hello, I've been reading and occasionally posting here for months. I have a few questions if any of you can help: 1. Is it really helpful to sue the Attorney General of the U.S. rather than just serve him? 2. Since there is an Acting Attorney General, I will put his name on the first page...
