Update
Updating the status for those interested.
So, we did hear back from the USCIS and got two appointment letters for the fp. Thankfully, they were for the same appointment day/time.
After biometrics, successfully had the interview on 8/1/2012, recommended for approval. Now waiting for...
Thanks Arvind.
We called. USCIS said that the local office will contact us in 15 days. Very curious. I thought that the case doesn't even arrive at the local office till the FPs are cleared. Any comments from the experts here?
BTW, her case is pretty simple. Got her GC 4 yrs ago (marriage-based - I am a USC). Applying for N400 under 3yr marriage-based rule. No major trips outside the US, etc. Not sure what is taking so long with the case.
My wife sent in her application to MO lock box in March. She received a receipt notice on 3/30/12 and the check was cashed soon afterwards (4/4). But we have had no updates since. Most other folks on the forum seem to have received FP notices in a couple of weeks after the receipts. Should we be...
What do folks usually use for return shipping label? If a priority mail pre-paid label w/ tracking info acceptable - has anyone tried it and can post experience?
Hi Folks,
I got my greencard about 7 years ago and my US citizenship about 2 years ago. Today I got an I181 notice from USCIS saying that my case for permanent residence is being processed!! What gives? What does this notice mean?
One other factoid that I should add to this is that I had sent...
Hello All,
I am a US citizen based in CA. My parents are currently visiting my sister's in Kansas. I would like to apply for a greencard for my parents through AOS. I have a couple of starter questions :
1) Does it matter that they are currently not living in the same state / district as me...
Thanks Daisy!
BTW, do you know if your experience was before or after USVISIT was implemented. Do we need the original I-94 to leave the US due to USVISIT.
I have applied for an extension of stay on my B-2 visa. However, I now need to leave the US due to a family emergency at home. I have not heard back from the CIS on any decision for my extension. My questions are :
1. Can I leave the US without jeopardizing my B-2 visa. I have a 10-yr visa...
Is it true that H1 quota in 2004 is to be reduced to 65,000 from 195,000 this year.
I will start working on F1 OPT this July. Is it prudent to apply for a H1 visa this year and forfiet the OPT time rather than wait till my OPT Employment Authorization expires next July.
Thanks in advance...
I am not a lawyer, but here is what I can tell you based on the processing times for various options.
Filing for a Green Card for your wife on basis of your LPR status can take upto 5-6 years due to the backlog (waitlist) of visas for this category. As far as I know, your wife would not be...
Hi All,
I had applied for (but never used) OPT after I graduated from my undergrad program 5 years ago. I worked in the US in a non F1 status for 3 years after that. I am now in about to graduate from an MBA program; can I apply for the OPT again?
Thanks for any help.

It takes 1-2 weeks depending on the city/town that you are getting it from. Some towns simply mailed it to me when I sent them a request letter with appropriate fees ($5-$10). Others asked me to notarize the request
Hi,
My I-485 application was transferred to local INS office in March 2001. My case was approved after an interview and my passport stamped with I-551 in July 2001. However, the AVM (when I call the 949-831-8427 number) does not seem to reflect this approval; it still says that my case has...
