    how long to wait for physical RFE notice before panicing?

    I received an RFE for AP application (it was for photos). The actual RFE letter (post office stamp) was sent 2 weeks after the message changed. The RFE said I have 12 weeks to respond. I sent photos with the original filing, but I thought they slipped or dropped or something. The funny thing...

    How long should it take once "File is under transit for congressional enquiry"

    This is the first time I hear about it. It took them about 45 days to tell the senator I contacted that my I-485 is pending security clearance. I think after that the "transit status" will change

    Can I Use Advance parole as ID for I551 Stamping?

    not sure i understand. you need the passport for stamping, if you dont have the passport, there would be no stamp, and it does not mater if they accept AP or not, they cant stamp anywhere

    Name check and background check for Visa

    IS there a difference between I-485 name check and the background check that FBI conducts when you apply for a Visa. I think the visa background check is applicable for SR countries only. My name check is still pending. In 2002 I applied for H1 visa at US embassy abroad and my back ground check...

    I am sorry, but I dont think it is approved. My online message used to be like this and every time I call the 800 they would tell me it is approved and request a non delivery:!

    Do I need a Transit Visa for France??

    I checked about this about six months ago, france did not require a Visa. I recommend that you always call the airline, they do have all details whether a visa is required or not. Visa requirements also vary by nationality, so i would make sure i check with the airline

    RFE for continuing employment

    whats the undefined thing There is really no telling how long it will take for approval, but it is possible it will be before month end. Personal hunch is 50% before month end, 50% will drag for another 6 months

    Has anyone sued USCIS?

    I dont have personal experience, I heard a story that someone sued for EAD pending for about a year, and they approved it the second day after the law suit. with I-485, i think they can always hide behind "name check". If this was the case I dont see much leverage, unless you can prove...

    Damn name check

    Well for me, the person who told me the name check is clear did that in 2 minutes. The second lady put me on hold for about 30 minutes and looked at the case. She sounded a lot more convincing that she got right down to root cause. It seems to me that the first person was wrong, and that my...

    Damn name check

    Called TSC today, talked to a helpful officer, after 30 minutes hold, she told me they did not "receive my info from the FBI", I asked if this means Name check. she said yes. I talked to TSC earlier and a gentelman told me that name check is cleared. I think he did not know what he is talking...

    TSC-800 number

    well, with your RD 2004 there is really no reason to see if your name check has cleared, and hopefully you wont need to. For those of us who have applications pending for about 4 years, we need to know where our files are stuck, are they lost in some FBI office, or the inbox of a retired...
