No Title Gmu, congratulations on your approval! This has been a longer wait than for a lot of other people.

No Title Congrats!!! This is good news for us waiting to be scheduled for an interview.

No Title Your case can be transferred for quality assurance reasons or if the INS thinks something is wrong with it. Recently CSC seems to transfer more cases than usual, although there is no solid data to support this view. Do a search on this board for \'interview\' and you will find more...

No Title In a pretty simplistic view, it seems to me that the INS is \'punished\' for not processing the case in time. The punishment takes the form of a reward to the immigrant. Note that I am not an lawyer nor have I\'ve studied this particular law closely. Another likely scenario is that...

No Title In a similar situation case was transferred to local INS office. I am not sure if this is because of the 2 addresses or not. Good luck!

No Title Great job Ciba!!!!!

No Title Helper is right, we need more data before starting to freak out. Note that all the 485 cases have been on hold for lots of months in the recent past (1-2 years) ago. This has been an announced decision of the INS HQ, as far as I can remember. Please feel free to correct me if I am...

No Title Ciba, Your vitality keeps on surprising me. Thanks for all your good work!

No Title C, This is probably good news, they are looking at your case. Good luck and thanks for keeping us posted.

No Title You can be called for interview at radom - a popular rumor says that 2% of the cases get interview for quality assurance reasons. You will also get an interview if you have a misdemeanour charge http://www.dictionary.com/cgi-bin/dict.pl?term=misdemeanour, if the INS believes that...

No Title Unluckywaiter, nobody on this forum seems to have any data on this topic. Note that one or two weeks ago an SJ interview case was approved with transfer notice in september. I talked with my lawyer at length after getting my case transfer notice. He asked me to wait at least 3...

No Title The INS may notify you that your 485 case has been transferred to the local office for interview. The AVM message will change and you will get a notification letter. Of course all this happens before (or instead of) the approval. Few people are in this situation. Good luck!

No Title Guys, The law does not says that you are supposed to be employed by the company for 180 days. The law says that 180 days after you applied your application is not dependent on your initial I140. So if you keep your I140 for 180 days and INS is not issuing an RFE you are safe...

No Title I assume that all the days are counted. Otherwise the law would specify 180 work days. Just my opinion. I am neither a lawyer nor can read the mind of the INS.

No Title Very creative person! Good for him/her, he/she truly deserves the Green Card.

No Title Helper 007, I am sorry to hear you are in such a bad spot. Hang in there ... Good luck!

No Title Longer Wait, Last time I checked on the revalidation procedure through the DOS office (somewhere on the east coast) one of the conditions was that your original H1 visa should have been expired for less than one year. Let us know if you find more updated information. Good luck!

No Title nobody knows for sure, the INS did not make up its mind.

No Title Thx for sharing the good news!! Good luck with your interview.

No Title Unlucky one, Everybody has to make his/her own decisions and then live with them. Personally I do not plan to switch jobs unless forced to, but this is an easy decision since I am pretty happy in my current position. Even if things were different (bad salary, uninteresting...
