On Name check

J4LIFE95,
Could you please give the details on how u contacted Sen.Schumer and numbers for name check enquiry, I had interview in august, the officer said name check is pending, he said it might take a month to 3, Please respond as u get time, i need to followup and get over with this.
thank you
 
Sriss,

I went to Sen. Charles Schumer's website you can find all the information there, he has the forms to fill out of find the status of your case, using the privacy act waiver form, just print it out and fill in the information and mail it to his address in manhattan. It took me 5 months to get a response from immigration which he forwarded to me.. I don't have numbers for name check inquiry, I never did that.

This one is for immigration status check

Good Luck

interviewed at GC, not so well

My husband and I were interviewed at Garden City yesterday. Our lawyer went with us. The officer's last name is James. She's a black lady. She asked lots of questions:
* tax returns
* emp letters
* my salary
* the most advanced degree certificate or diploma
* questioned my husband whether he had maintained legal status (in detail)
* our parents first name
* our birth day
* medical exam

She collected the documents from us. We think she even took my husband's I-94 of last entry (we found out this after we went out the building)
It went ok until she stood up and said "I need to do more research and will notify you our decision in 6 weeks". My lawyer tried to push her to stamp our passport. She said " I can't do that".
My lawyer said there is nothing to worry about, in 6 weeks our cases will be approved.
I'm not so sure. I smell something wrong.
It seems no one came out happy after interview yesterday.
I don't know when our ordeal would end.
I'm going to contact Senator if I don't get any response from her in 6 weeks.

Is there any one interviewed by officer James and what's your result?
Is she nice or not? Yesterday she seems to be sick, either had a cold or allergy.

Dear Tata2003, I was hoping you had already received your GC ..but your passport has been stampped, right? So it takes at least 3 months to get the actual card..
I am still waiting for my Interview Letter, RD 06/02/02, TD 09/23/2003.
Will find out more (hopefully) at the next infopass inquiry at the beginning of November.
All the best to everybody, and yes, keep posting, I found out so many things from this site!

No,I have not received it yet,but I think it will happen soon.We already took a trip to our original country with our stamps and we had no problems at all.
I really hope that your case is approved soon.
Good Luck.

My case was transfered to NY local office on June 22, no news yet... Meanwhile I have received an appointment for EAD renewal, got my second EAD today and made an infopass appointment to check on my case on November 4th. I hope they clear up on my case a bit. I'll keep posted regarding my trip to the local office. :rolleyes:
 
ead, ap

Hello,

Once I-485 is transferred to local office, should we apply EAD, AP in local office or can we send to VSC.

Pls help.
 
Hi Fellow GC_waiters

Hi Folks

Hey "havetowait" please also inform me what happend during the infopass inquiry. My case was transferred on July19th 2004, so it almost the same time as yours & my RD is 01/10/2003.

And question by "goanker" is a good one too-- please also post details when you get the answer to that.

People like ourselves whose cases have been transferred to local NYC are in a black hole I guess. No one seems to have the answers to when & how long does it usually takes for and interview or what happens next. Please post details if anyone has any.

Signing off

If you have to apply for a new EAD you should submit your EAD application to where your files are located rigth now.
When our case was transferred to NYC office,we send our EAD application to them but we received a EAD receipt from Missouri Service Center,that is normal.They probably will send you a notice for"biometrics",just follow their instructions.

*Our GC was approved 7 months after applied for 3rd EAD.
