The I-485 is not applicable in my case. My wife is overseas. I have verified that my I-130 is being processed a while back. I am going in for an update via Infopass this week. My in person upgrade attempt at the office failed. IOs don't know how to Fax apparently. I Faxed in the upgrade...

Just be aware that "excessive travel" may further delay your case as it did mine.

Just wanted to point out that this doesn't work for everyone. After initial data entry, my online status has never changed or been touched in both my cases. My N-400 still says pending with a date of July 2006 and last touch July 2006. I-130 says June 2008. I am aware that processing steps...

I saw a lot of people using GC only today coming in from Mexico. Apparently a passport is not needed if you have a GC. (by land)

Given my experience, I would now choose NOT to go with the upgrade process. (unless years away from USC) I would have everything ready and send in the petition the day of Naturilization. No clear upgrade process No verification that upgrade worked (An upgrade attempt of mine...

I tried to walk-in in Santa Ana FP but they don't accept walk-ins. However I was able to go to the local DO and get the paperwork for an immediate appointment. The security at the DO asks if you have an appointment, but if you have a legitimate reason they seem to let you in. So if possible, an...

My new advice for Upgrading to USC. Don't do it. Wait with the initial filing of the I-130 until after the oath. Send it in the day after. This is due to the lack of process in place for upgrading to USC. I presently believe that it would have been faster to wait until oath and then send in...

Just a fine point. The 2nd IO lady on the phone mentioned that both sides of the Naturlization Document must be sent if any writing on the back. Hmmm mine had a little bit on the corner, on the back, and I don't think the IO at the office faxed the back. (it might be a stretch but maybe thats...

Just a comment. Reading this thread...I CAN"T BELIEVE the priorities... Immigration law needs to be reformed. Mothers/Fathers of USC getting priority over a LPR WIFE???? It doesn't make sense. We need to get rid of the family re-unification clause. Spouse and kids only. Spouse should be...

Ummm yeah. This is a sore point for me. Learn from my mistake of trusting that the local office can send a fax. My advice is hit 'em hard from all angles... perhaps multiple times. At first, I got an infopass and went to the local office. The IO filled out a cover sheet and supposedly faxed in...

Its "fill out" the form here in America. Sorry its a pet-peeve.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My guess is that you fill in only your sponsors income. She is the one sponsoring you. Her W-2s are the important ones. Your income should have nothing to do with it. (besides showing up on the tax transcript)...

Adding myself here... My timeline from now on should be similar to some of the folks here... Although I submitted my I-130 June 2008, I just upgraded from LPR to USC on Feb. 27. Have not seen a touch yet, but I have heard that it takes about a week for that. Assuming about 2 weeks processing...

I had a ticket that was under $500 if paid directly but the traffic school fees pushed it just over $500. Just wondering what the situation is here. It might be helpful to someone else since tickets seem to be pushing $400+ these days. What happens if the court imposed traffic school fees makes...

Disclaimer: Not a lawyer, this is from my experience and what my laywer told me. The USCIS can probably get your police report. (without court order) The USCIS probably won't get your police report. They are not very good at doing that... think about it, the IO would have to start...

I am at 29 months with the earliest prospect probably at 31 months. Hoping for a January oath... I've only waited 3 1/2 weeks since "no decision can be made" along with RFE which I sent in instantly, so I guess I need to wait a little longer. Getting impatient... So far the USCIS has simply...

Not exactly the same issue as this thread but close. I am in a different situation: The IRS will not respond to ANY request or enquiry I make including a tax transcript request. This has been going for several months. My accounts are apparently "on hold" due to the IRS inability to...

Attorney needed... Hello, I finally received my IL after almost 27 months of waiting. I would like to bring a lawyer with me to the interview because of an old arrest. (no charges filed) I am looking for a reasonably priced lawyer. I only need minimal help so I am looking for someone who...

Santa Ana FP won't accept walk-in but... I tried to walk-in to Santa Ana FP. Person in charge would not accept me saying "we haven't accepted walk-ins for a year now". Anyway, after pleading my case, he gave me instructions to go to the Santa Ana DO to get an appointment letter. I was...

Santa Ana FP accept walk-ins? Good news. I received my 2nd fingerprint notice. Bad news. It falls during my vacation. Any chance of walking in tommorrow (Wednesday) and getting this done before I have to leave for LAX at 3pm? What time should I start to try? In the morning or afternoon...
