swiping green cards over the counter when the PR is leaving the US JoeF, I understand this "swiping green cards over the counter when the PR is leaving the US"; but what are they doing with PRs with no plastic card. Do they note the 'A' number from I551 stamp? Thanks

Question on what to carry I have a stamped passport, but not yet received my pastic card. In this case, what should I carry to prove my immigration status if I travel to a different state? Before I-485 approval, I was told by my employer to carry the EAD all the time. Do I always keep a copy...

Guys, I am new to this forum, so please bear with my naive question: How do you check the plastic card status? Do you use your 'A' number? What about online status checking? What is the site address? Thanks for your help.

Guys, Finally, BCIS has changed their meaningless (online case status) message. It now says... "It is taking between 450 and 480 days for us to process this kind of case. However because preliminary processing was complete, the remaining processing time will be less than the maximum...

Transition I just read the BCIS FAQ. It looks like there will be no impact on the processing; only the name of the department is changing - atleast they have presented it that way. The website has changed. Case status also says BCIS instead of INS. Impressive! Hopefully it's a smooth...

cmr, Please try to be sensitive and gentle in your remark. I could not connect to AVM and became frustrated. I am glad that the AVM problem I encountered did not last long. Please frame your posting carefully.. like you, many of us are stressed and not having good time. We need to support...

I just tried calling NSC AVM... Complete silence after a single dial tone. What about the online status? AVM and online system both use the same database. Is it just the phone system that is down or they have something else going on there?

My attorney told me that my wife's case will be approved soon. Hope he is right. But looking at Shilpa's case, I am not very encouraged. Her case looks like a very old case. Shilpa: I understand you have some BC related issues with your case. You should have received another RFE? Have you...

get a better lawyer If I were in your position, I would not wait; I would spend money from my pocket and get a better laywer. For high level direction, you can contact Ms. Murthy. Her rate is $200/20 min. But it will be worth every penny.

When is the best time to call IIO? Guys, I tried calling NSC for a long time but to no avail. The line is busy all the time. When is the best time to call IIOs? What is their business hours? Thanks for your help.

INS Online status says that my wife's case has been approved while it still reads the same old story for my case...."On Dec... we received your etc. etc... 450 days 480 days etc." How is it possible? My wife is my dependent, and we filed 485 applications together. Any idea friends? My...

It's not a queue, it's a maze! Before coming to US, I was under the impression that getting GC was just a matter of time. Now I find it's a matter of time, luck, and some mysterious coincidence of these two. I am learning how not to be surprised and how not to lose hope. There are so many...
