I am pretty sure visa numbers have been released. If you notice on trackitt - you'll see a lot of approvals in the month of October.

I was traveling on business for 4 months - there was no issues returning on AP. No questions asked.

According to the October bulletin - the EB3 cutoff date is Aug 02. I see that your PD is Dec 02. did you ask the IO officer whether a visa number will be made available to you in October despite the retrogression?

Keep us posted on what happens to your case.

Quick question I had recently gotten an RFE (for skin test) which I replied to. The message online changed to "request for response received.... you should get a decision within 60 days". Now is this a standard response - or do they really provide a decision within 60 days.

You should get the letter in 3-4 business days. No point calling really - the rep will not know and until and unless there is a legitimate reason to know right away they'll not transfer you to an immirgration officer.

Thanks Selvaraj - I recently got the same request. My 693 is incomplete because my doctor didnt do the skin test. I am now preparing to send back the RFE response with just the skin test results. Didnt know if I should redo the entire medical.

Did you redo the medical check-up or just sent in the skin test results?

Medical - Incomplete I got a notice from USCIS that my I693 (medical) is incomplete - did not include the skin test. My first medical was done in Sept 2005. Does anybody know if I should send in a whole new medical test report - or just the old one with the skin test included?

Yes - I realize that. Initially he started giving me the usual blah blah blah.... but later on we started chatting about other things (I was calling internationally), and he said let me look into your file. After going through the case he let me know the details.

Actually I spoke to an IO in TSC a couple of days ago asking about my case - and he said that the case was ready for approval (name check completed) but they have depleted their visa numbers and I would have to wait till October and call then. I don't know how reliable that information is --...

Was your first FP done 15 months ago? Usually this "document" that they talk about is a second FP notice. If you changed addresses after you applied for your 485 - sometimes they mail the notice to the old address (even though you changed your address with them). In such a case they resend the...

message change Yes - just checked the online message - and it says "on XXXXX we sent you the new document based on an earlier approval of your case....". I am currently traveling and have not been checking my mails - has anyone received the document that they are talking about?

Message change I got a Biometrics appt notice last week - got that done. Yesterday the message on my case status changed to: On XXXXXXX [date] we mailed the document to the address we have on file. You should receive the new document within 30 days. If you do not, or if you move before you...

Taps1 - Yes, you can travel back to the US using your Advance Parole. I recently went to Europe for work and used my AP to return back to the States. Pros - obviously you do not have to schedule an visa interview. Cons - When you come back to the US, they need to check that you do have a...
