No Title The background check is done by FBI according to your fingerprint. Waiting for background check means that your FP result didn\'t show up in CSC\'s system.

My wife hasn\'t got her 485 approval even though mine and children\'s were received two weeks ago. See my details at http://www.geocities.com/ciba_2/I485/WebCSC.htm (Personal Experiences). After calling 949-8318427 every night w/o good news, we decided to do passport stamping at San Jose...

No Title The only important thing is the I-94 card. Nobody (except yourself) will examine the stamps in your passport. The only function I can imagine of the stamp in passport is: in case you lose your I-94, it may serve as an evidence of legal entry. Actually the INS has all the...

No Title Two days (48 hours) are good enough. Mon thru Fri. 8AM--9PM EST.

No Title It simply means that the plastic green card will be mailed to you about 4 months after passport stamping. The formal name of green card is "alien registration card".

No Title I think the "local INS office" listed on the approval notice is for your reference only (lest you don\'t know where it is). The more important is your address. In front of San Jose INS, there is a big sign: "We serve only the residents of Santa Clara, Santa Cruz and...

No Title My 485 got approved last month. (see Ciba\'s list for details) My lawyer didn\'t request my tax documents when 485 was filed last October. So I think the tax return/pay stabs are not necessary. Even so, the CSC officers can issue RFE for these income documents to verify anything...

No Title My 485 got approved last month. (see Ciba\'s list for details) My lawyer didn\'t request my tax documents when 485 was filed last October. So I think the tax documents/pay stabs are not necessary. This RFE for tax return and pay stabs might hint that the INS officer has some doubt...

No Title As I know, every local INS has its jurisdiction. CSC assigns every new GC bearer to a local office according his/her address (s)he reported to INS when 485 was filed. I don\'t think you or me can tell if it is acceptable to change location through claiming address moving. It\'s...

No Title Does your approval notice not tell you where to stamp your passport? Just follow it. Look at the long line before San Jose INS. It\'s not easy to get stamping at San Jose.

No Title FP experience sharing. My FP experience is similar to Sriram\'s but a little luckier :) My suggestions: 1. Avoid the crowd. If nobody is waiting, the ASC operator can have plenty of time (no pressure) to do your FP carefully. For San Jose ASC, it is good to get there after...

No Title WAC: 01-024 485 RD: Oct/00 485 ND: Nov/00 Country (PD): Other (EB3 current) FP notice rcvd: Jan 23, only one day before the scheduled date. 1st FP: Jan 24, rejected by FBI due to poor quality...

No Title What I did is merely following Ciba\'s advice. To my surprise, the San Jose INS office is so willing to help. Once the FP rejection can be remedied in a short time, this mishap is just a ripple. All the visitors of this discussion board should give the best honor to Ciba...

No Title What kind of receipt/ND are you talking about? You need to file 485 first then you will get a 485 receipt with a 485 ND (notice date) on it.

No Title INS/ASC in San Francisco opens Tuesday thru Saturday. Only age of 14 or older applicants need to do FP. It\'s strange to get FP notices for such little kids. I suspect something wrong in your documents submitted to INS. Did you file 485 thru a lawyer or by yourself? Never heard...

No Title EAD by itself should have a receipt date and a WAC#. It\'s separate from 485. Don\'t mix up.

No Title Don\'t worry. The WAC# has nothing to do with your FP. Only the A# is used during your FP processing. You may have different WAC# for 485, 765 and 131. But you can have only ONE A#. When you go to INS/ASC for taking FP, they will only ask you for A#. When you call FBI to check...

No Title Can you tell us how you could talk to an IIO? I find that the (949)831-8427 is always busy in office hours. Do you have any trick to get connected?

No Title Another Approval. WAC: 01-024 (No doubt, the 24th working day is in Nov) 485 RD: Oct/00 485 ND: Nov/00 Country (PD): Other (EB3 current) FP notice rcvd: Jan 23, only one day before the scheduled date. 1st FP: Jan 24, rejected by FBI due to poor quality...

No Title What you need is a "pictured ID", that means it must come with your photo on it. So the passport is ok, but the social security card is useless (but you need to provide your SS number). You should also bring your temporary driver\'s license to verify your address.
