Paz is right that you can not ask the judge to order them to issue approval. However, my point is that you do not have to consent to a joint stipulation for dismissal. This is a leverage that puts pressure on CIS to send your card fast (which they usually do anyway). The judge can, of course...

Olin, NO; don't do it. Here is my story which tells you why. I filed WOM through a lawyer and my I485 got approved back in October of 2005 (after a 4-year wait) upon a hastily scheduled interview. The officer, who was nice, told me that we would get the cards rather fast and also gave us...

What happens ... Does anybody know what happens if one files a lawsuit in the federal court against CIS and they do not reply in 60 days (assuming they have not settled the case in that period)? Also, does 60 days include or exclude holidays and weekends? Thanks,

Fritz, Your point is well taken. However, the issue is not why "clearances" expire, rather why "fingerprints" expire at CIS. This is what is brought up in the article, and indeed in the class action lawsuit in the DC district court. (Speaking of the lawsuit, any news from the judge...

WSJ article DaoMingTze2, Thanks for letting us know about the interesting article. For those who do not have subscription to WSJ, here is a link to the story that does not require subscription: http://www.post-gazette.com/pg/05180/530331.stm I just contacted the author of the...

Biometrics prior to approval, anybody? Hi all, Has anybody received and done Biometrics (Code 2) prior to their I-485 approval? I have a friend of mine who has gone through this and I wonder if his case may have been approved without him or his lawyer knowing about it. It seemed...

priyankas, Should you choose to go the litigation route, your case (N-400) is even more straightforward than the I-485 cases. If it has been 180 days since your interview (not filing date)...

Mr. Khanna--need your advice. Dear Mr. Khanna, I have been following the lawsuit developments closely and need your advice about the following: Do you think it is possible to argue in a District Court (as part of a Mandamus action) that by taking 3.5 years to process my I-485 (still...

Look in your passport lakshmig, I don't know if you have tried this before; if not, why don't you try to see if you can find the corresponding stamp in your passport. Anytime an I-94 is issued, the Immigration Officer is supposed to stamp the same info in your passport as well. If you...

use Post Office Express Mail with return receipt goni, US Postal Service Express Mail does deliver to P. O. Box and seems to be the right thing to use for CIS. It should cost around $15. If you want, you can add, for an extra dollar or two, the service they call "return receipt" (the...

My name check got done eventually (after 2 years) Hi, I am a Nov 2001 filer -- still waiting for approval! However, my name check seems to have eventually been processed about two weeks ago. Here are the dates according to FBI e-mail: CIS sent request to FBI: Jan 11, 2003. FBI...

RFE for an EB1/EB@(NIW) Rolling Hills, In EB1 or EB2 (NIW) categories, you do not need to have an offer of permanent employment to be approved. Obviously the officer either did not realize that your case was such or is not aware of this requirement. In the case of NIW, particularly...

That is not an RFE message. gimmeabreak, I don't think the message you posted means that an RFE has been issued for your wife; rather, it is the standard message you get on the case status when you (or somebody on your behalf) makes an inquiry, e.g. through the 800 customer service...

in the same boat My case has also been stuck at the FBI name check: I filed I-485 in Nov 2001 Name check has been pending at FBI since Jan 2003 -- 21 MONTHS until now ... all efforts to get more info in vein so far ...

I am in the same boat zli1014, I am in a similar situation. According to my inquiry with the FBI they received my Name Check request from CIS in January 2003 and it is still pending. Of course, I have no cirminal or other derogatory record whatsoever. My name, while not too uncommon...
