Tracker: Waiting for Derivative's I-485 Approval
- Thread starter geofu54
- Start date
I am not sure about security check but the lady was nice. She told me that spouse case is somehow got seperated from mine. She took detailed information for both cases and told that hopefully case will be approved soon. Call took approximately 10-15 minutes.
I called at 6AM PST which is probably around 8AM texas time. She may have just started her day thats why she was nice. So I think it is good to call early morning.
EB-2, TSC -> 11/9/2006
485 last LUD 2/21/2007
yes, her security check has been cleared. we were told this information from two sources, TSC IO in Jun 07 and Infopass in Aug 07.

My spouse is not approved even after 4 months of my approval.
Speaking of which, to the most recent update (spreadsheet) I added a column for duration/time elapsed since the primary's approval date (ignore "39360," which comes up when posters did not provide the approval date info).

Did you get this email for a service request raised recently? If yes how long it took for them to response?
22 days but no updates on second Status Request
As per signature,
- 9/18/7 + 10/8/7 = 22 days.
But I do not have any information or update on other second daughter's another Status Request.

First time hearing about email reply, I always use to receive by mail.
Regarding response, my spouse received extended review 2 months ago still waiting. Review means they don't want to talk about this case now, wait for your turn
its only my guess.

Yea, one thing is that uscis guys may not be predictable. Organization itself is ocean. But I am wondering that why there is no lud and email for my second Status Request when I have for the first status Request.

Myself and my friend raised SR request on the same day, he got SR reply "under review" and LUD. My spouse received "extended review" and no LUD.
We can only come up with some logic analyzing what happened to previous cases, but USCIS still beat us with new innovated logic.
There is a saying "one cannot guess womens mind", but now it could be changed "no one can guess how USCIS work". They are so brilliant to be consistently inconsistent.

SR info
1) What is SR about your friend! Was it done for kids or spouse! If it is for his/her kid, how old the kid is?
2) How did you know about Extended Review of your spouse case?
Probably, you are right!

-> It was for himself, primary is still pending. (You still not giving up analyzing)
2) How did you know about Extended Review of your spouse case?
-> We got service response in mail.

Ignore the SR response
Opened SR for myself and spouse. Never recd. any response/LUD for mine. Recd. response for spouse after two months saying some "Extended Review". Before receiving the SR response for spouse, her application had been approved. So don't even trouble yourself trying to find a method in this madness...
Cheers !!!

Hi All,
My case similiar to many on this thread..Husband's(primary applicant) GC approved on 8/7/07. Mine(spouse derivative) still pending.
In the middle of all of this, I have to travel to India for an urgent work in Nov for a couple of weeks. I have a stamped H1b and an AP through Jan'08. My question is, is it safe to travel at this stage out of US. Has anyone/their families encountered any problem at POE while returning when their I485 was pending. What if my GC comes through when I am out of US.
See my signature below

1) (You still not giving up analyzing
But from people's cases, I too decided that SR is just to make sure if they haven't misplaced or lost our files... and force CIS to open and touch them. So we should probably keep our expectation low as to what SR can actually help us with, but then again, to confirm they haven't lost our case IS important, because they do now and then (seriously).
If you are on H1-b with a stamp on the passport and have an approved, valid AP, then you should be okay (better carry the original receipt notice of I-485 as well). If it gets approved during your absence, you can re-enter on AP (regarding this, Jack sums up well in this thread).
