I have got to renew my passport by July 2003. I have a valid H1 till the end of January 2004 and I also have applied for my 485 and have received my EAD and AP.
I plan to go to Chicago and get the passport renewed.
Questions:
1) Would I be still holding my old passport? Do they give the...
hi:
Applied for 485. Got my EAD and AP (for my wife and me). I have AP for my son. In addition my H1 is expires in Feb 2004 and my wife's in Oct 2005.
I just moved my residence. I will be mailing the AR-11 tomorrow. As 485 is still pending, I am not a permanent resident, for the expiry date...

hey guys:
You have been talking about calling the IIO to update the address. Which number do I call. My case is at Nebraska Service Center. Please pass on the phone number guys.

At last. At last. We received the passports. Things look ok. (As always they have transposed my son's last name and middle name).
Honestly, we are just relieved. Don't know if we are happy.

Based on what ever I have heard, it looks like you will not receive anything from DOS.
We had sent our passport thru lawyers. They told us DOS received the passport on such and such a date. The lawyers must have got some notification from the FedExp - thats my guess.
While calling...
Vasu: I called the Visa office on Friday and did speak to the Officer. You have to keep trying.
485: There seems to be a problem with passports sent before Nov 15th. It is crazy that passports sent in Dec were processed before those sent 1 month earlier.
For those who know the Washington...
Called the Visa office this morning. DC is presently processing applications received on 10th/11th at DC. It looks like they have been asked to process the applications for these days within in 5 days and "move on".
Am one of the unlucky ones that's been caught in the enormous delay (nearly...
Cool:
The officer did not get any estimates to me too. She said it was still "pending". She asked me to check again on Friday.
When I asked the officer why my case was getting delayed, she answered that she did not know about it. She added, the cases are processed as they are received at DC...
Vasu: Don't worry, you are sure to get your passports. It is just some cases in early November 2002 that have been delayed. There are people who have had applied in the 3rd and 4th week of November who have received it.
Talking about vacations, I already lost more than 160 hours of vacation...
Something happened between Nov 5th and Nov 12th.........
1) Some stupid fool must have not handled the cases in the right order....
2) Some stupid fool must have misplaced a box here or there....
3) Some stupid machinery broke down....
I know it is wrong to censure someone like...

Called DOS on Jan 13th: told it will take 2-3 weeks.
It will be helpful to all, if we all post more info. I am wondering at the random (relative) issual of the visas....
Can these be factors:
1) Single visa or Multiple visas ( dependents)
2) Studying
3) Applied for immigration
May be some of them takes more steps, I dont know....

Congrats Khush.....
Called Visa Office today. (got the connection atlast)
Nov 11th :Sent Date
Dec 13th :Washington received date.
Another 2 weeks. She did not say 2-3 weeks. Said 2 weeks. So I am hopeful it will be in less than 2 weeks.
But, Reval applied on Nov 7th ( or 5th am not sure). he got it on Jan 6th. His passport was infact mailed on Dec 30th.
So, there is some randomness to all this........

Khush:
I called them today. I was on hold for an hour. Could not speak to them. After dialing 202-663-1225, pressed 1..6, then heard beeps for some time and then there was absolute silence for more than an hour..... Am I doing things correctly ?
If I am, then it is truly atrocious for them...
Sent on Nov 12th. Still waiting....
The air tickets are getting expensive, might miss out the 14-day advance purchase option. the 7-day advance deals are expensive....
By the way, the website says "Do not contact the Visa office for a staturs report on your case". But, I see many people have been contacting them and getting an update. So, don't the officers refuse to give you guys the information. How are you able to pry out the information?
I am planning...
Congrats Reval.
I sent it one week after him. So, waiting for the advent of next week. Tomorrow I will be completing 8 full weeks.
