Don't want to sound pessimistic but... read the following link: http://www.ins.gov/graphics/aboutins/statistics/msrnov02/BENEFIT.HTM According to the posting, as of Nov 2002 there are 1,005,709 I-485 permanent resident adjustments cases pending. God help us!!!!!!

..FBI clearance.... ...Does this mean that all the FBI checks have been done...including those which are causing the current "freeze"? Or will they have to do other checks at a later period.

...is there any legal proof to support this... From what I understand, the employment based GC process is for people who are good in their area of expertise and that local people are not available to fill those particular positions. DOL establishes/sanctions this shortage when labor is...

security clearance is required... for certain jobs...like some federal army/navy etc programs. Only citizens with a level of security clearance can work (even for those born here). The jobs described might be one of those.

My 2 cents... Just a question....how did you know that your visa had been revalidated when you sent it to St. Louis? As per your post, you never received the passports after revalidating the visa. If the visa has been revalidated as you mention then there is no problem. Your wife's status...

Hi All, I have been following the many threads about the new "security checks" causing delays for 485 AOS cases of Oct 2001 onwards. I was wondering if anybody has noticed any difference in the time for getting FP results of the applicants who have been fingerprinted after the new...

A thought.... Hi All, I was just wondering if the "new security checks" will be creating delays for only those people who are in the final stages of AOS. If INS/FBI has mandated new checks, don't you think that people who apply for AOS after this decree will tend to benefit since these...

ranniedev Thanks for your reply. I was not clear about what you meant when you say "unless you signed something.." Is this something a letter that you sign with your employer. If so doesn't that constitute some form of bondage and hence be considered illegal???? Thanks.

I-94 Your most current I-94 will be the one that is part of your H-1 approval notice. That is the one that you will have to give the airlines folks when you travel outside of the U.S. Upon returning, you will fill out the new I-94.

Hi All, I had read a thread somewhere which said that one had to wait for 6 months after they received their GC to switch to another job. Is there any legal basis for this or is this just hearsay? The reason I ask this is because I am so frustrated at my current job that I have...

Hi All, I had a question about how INS processes 485 applications. Is there a priority based on current nationality? For example, will a person who is a citizen of a low applicant pool such as Malawi ( Africa) get any preference over somebody from say China/India? Thanks for your responses.

Hi All, I received the FP notice yesterday for an appointment in second week of January. I had a question regarding the notice. There is a section which said Priority date and has an Oct 25 2002 date. Any idea what is the significance of this date??? Thanks.

Get their Info Hi, The next time they call you, get their info such as the company name and their phone number. Note the date and time when they call. Then file complains at your local BBB and/or Consumer Affairs. You can also call the FBI. All this information is available on the web...

Thanks for all your responses I have filed from Virginia. Anybody out there from VA who filed for 485 recently and have got the FP appointment?

Hey All, Does anybody know how long it takes before one gets the FP appointment after filing for 485? Does it matter what state you are filing from? Thanks for all your responses.

Hi All, I need some advice about the above. I am getting ready to file my 485 and was wondering if I should get AP also. My current H-1 expires after 6 months ( it can still be renewed for 1 more year). Any thoughts on wheter to go for AP and EAD or to have my H-1 renewed? How long is...

Sivak_c Thanks for your response. The reason I want to know exactly what immunizations are required is to get these done ahead of time from my primary care physician ( for a copay of $15) and just show the Civil Surgeon the immunization records rather than having to pay $200 to the Civil...

Hi All, I am about to file for my 485. Since I do not have my immunization records with me, I would appreciate it if somebody could tell me what is required. The form I-693 lists DTP,OPV,MMR and Td. Do these cover all the immunization requirements? I would like to get this done at my...
