EB-2 World.

No, I only did finger prints back in the summer of 2006.

Got it I have been stuck in name check since June 2006. This evening I got the following email: ------- Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS Current Status: Approval notice sent. ------- I hope to see you all on the N-400 forum...

Nope No LUD here.

Thanks for this clarification. So if the 155,592 number includes N-400 applications and also applications already retrogressed, then this new move may in fact NOT lead to further retrogression.

Thanks. So 106,738 NC cases pending for more than 1 year. Wonder how many has been pending for more than 180 days. Let's say 150,000. If I understand the annual limits correctly, the worldwide limit for annual employment based green cards is 140,000. So it seems certain that there will be...

No, because now you will suddenly have 50.000 people with "clear" namechecks. This will consume all available visa numbers. As a result, there will be years of retrogression for ALL categories.

I wouldn't go as far as calling it fair. But at least it would be predictable. So if I get retrogressed 2 years prior to my PD, I would know with some level of certainty that I would get my GC 2 years from now.

Retrogression coming our way... koku1, that's an excellent observation. Opening the NC floodgates will lead to a stop at the next gate. Aaaahhhrgh...there's nothing like the smell of an upcoming retrogression issue.

I hope... Great news, if this is true. I am sure there is a catch somewhere, though, there always is a catch with USCIS. What is the source for this document?

The wait continues... Got response on my November 2007 service request today: "...we have to perform additional review on this case... ...please, do not call, do not write, do not email, do not contact us in any other way whatsoever for at least 6 months..." Once stuck, you're in for...

Still on vacation....? Seems our buddies over at TSC are still in vacation mode. Haven't seen many approvals lately.

Still stuck.... So 2007 came and went, and I did not get my green card approved due to being stuck in name check. I wish all my fellow name check sufferes the best of luck in 2008!

I am pulling that sentence out of context now, but still.... Wish it was that easy. Unfortunately, even people with no record whatsoever, anywhere, will still get stuck in NAME CHECK. It's completely random. With NAME CHECK, the defendant is presumed guilty until proven innocent, and...

This is what a logcal person would do, so obvioulsy that will never happen. It is much better, and typical, to make sure these people get stuck in NAME CHECK. After all, since they have always paid all taxes and stayed out of trouble, they must surely be up to something shady.
