Green Card thru Asylum

Yes, if you got arrested by ICE in the past for an immigration violation, you will have a record in the FBI fingerprint rapsheet. This may not cause the file to be routed to FDNS unless your IBIS or FBI name check results have a positive response.

Supervisor review is usually the last step of the adjudication and it happens to some applications when an adjudicator gets complicated applications. This review usually happens when your background check is complete and the application is routed back from FDNS/background check unit to the adjudication stage.

Assylum, so if there is a record of an alien in FBI fingerprint rapsheet for ICE arrest, would IBIS search also turn up positive?

ICE arrest doesn't affect IBIS name check if the arrest is only for immigration violation. IBIS background check is totally different from the FBI fingerprint background check
 
Assylum,

I've been trying to find how long it might take before my GC application is approved. Below is my timeline:

i-485 Application received : 1 September 2011
Biometrics done: 14 October

Online status says-- Initial review!


Where can I find the information on what date ranges the USCIS is currently working on? When can I expect to have my GC handy?

Please advise.

TSC is behind their goal to process I-485 (asylum-based) within 4 months but that doesn't mean that you won't receive a decision soon. You might receive it very soon if your application is not affected by a background check delay.

Time frame for your application decision will be anytime from 12/15/11 to 5/31/12.

Assylum...you think 9 months is a normal processing time for asylum based in Texas Service? I wouldn't rush to file a Service Request after only 4 months.

fat_face,
Are you saying that you have been waiting for 9 months? What is your filing date for your I-485 in TSC?

No. The filing date is the last week of July 2011 i believe. Biometrics were done in late August. I was wondering if filing a Service Request at this point is too early? I am willing to wait it out for at least 8 or 9 months based on how they went about my EAD and RTD, which took 4 and 5 months respectively last year, to get processed and approved.

It is too early to submit a service request.

Assylum...at that point an InfoPass would be a better option or filing a Service Request thru phone? I never got any positive responses from SR for previous apps...it always come out as "pending". Makes me feel they r useless.

Infopass officers have access to CLAIMS3 system and they can see limited information about your case. They can at least tell you if your case is already assigned to an adjudicator or not.

By the way, you are still within the processing time in TSC. You need to be patient.

Important Note: make sure you document all your inquiries with USCIS/senator/congressman/etc.
You might need them in the future in case they fail to make a decision within a reasonable time frame.
 
Hi guys,

I filed my I-485 in September, the TSC sent me an RFE about a month later - it was for the medical examination form and for the A-325 (the biographic info sheet, even though I had submitted that sheet with my original application). So I went to the doctor, got the medical exam form, printed out my original A-325 again and sent the two items to the TSC. Three days ago I received an email message saying the TSC had mailed me another RFE. What could it be? A fingerprint appointment notice? An interview appointment notice? Please offer some suggestions! Thank you!
 
I applied for my GC on December 1st 2012!
On December 10th 2012, I had my bio-metrics!
Today is March 22nd 2012 (3 months and 12 days) and nothing :(
Is it normal to wait almost 4 months?

I'd be very happy if you guys help me!
