Xenos did you check again? Does it still say the same thing? It is quite odd if it does since you already done Bio, i suggest you call USCIS and find out what that is.

Sorry guys for those that werent selected :(

Hey Yoni: As far as i know, the FBI conducts the name check, usually before a new policy was put into effect, the name check could take as long as 2 years, but after 08, it was changed to that most name checks are cleared in 30 days or less and can take no longer than 90s. This is the only...

OK guys, so I've been doing some researching online and reading the threads. Here is what i think how the processing works, we sent the I-485 to Chicago, regardless of 245i or whatever, if there is nothing missing it goes straight to NBC for processing in order of submission, from there it goes...

Hey SimplySubi, we have almost the same case, which FO are you?

Yea wats up with that?? I wish i lived around San Jose, this is regional discrimination by the USCIS, ppl should be processed by the order in which they submitted their application, not where they live. Im sorry for the ranting, just so angry about the unfairness.

I think we're all ok about the visa availability. From the USCIS and DOS website U.S. Department of State Visa Bulletin The U.S. Department of State publishes a monthly report of visa availability referred to as the “Visa Bulletin.” The monthly Visa Bulletin serves as a guide for issuing...

Well if you got denied before Sept. 30th. It wouldnt be because there weren't anymore visas available.

http://www.travel.state.gov/pdf/MultiYearTableI.pdf Actually there you go, no year did they give out 50,000 visas

i asked the exact same thing a while back, but no one responded, i did some research and only found one place where they said in 2008 they gave out around 44,000 GC including AOS, so base on that and looking at the visa bulletin from 08 it appears there are plenty of visas to spare each year.

it always makes me happy reading a post like that, hopefully i will get the chance to post my happy day.

Hey Yoni and everyone who is having trouble convincing USCIS to expedite lottery cases i have two links http://imminfo.com/Resources/CIS/CIS%20SOP%20I-485.pdf http://www.uscis.gov/files/nativedocuments/june_2009_agenda_with_responses.pdf Open the file and do a search for the word lottery...

Yoni: just out of curiosity, when they tell you over the phone to wait 8 months, do you tell them that there is a September 30th deadline? And if you did what do they respond to that?

yea Yoni, that was my next advice, get infopass if you can't get anything done over the phone, you'll definitely get an Immigration Officer, explain your situation to him and bring evidence like the spreadsheet on the forum, i know its just from a forum so its questionable, but it cant hurt. If...

Yoni: Did you ask for a supervisor or an IO to speak with you? USCIS has hundreds of contractors they hire just to give generic answers from a sheet of paper. They are not helpful at all. I learn this from an immigration lawyer. You have to demand a supervisor who can better help you...

Just out of curiosity if anyone knows. Has anyone who applied for AOS never got their GC because it went past September 30th and did not get an interview?

Hey eooedada, congrats on the smooth interview. Im puzzled as why you got an interview so early, its weird how USCIS is set up, im worried that Newark is processing my case slowly, do you remember the name of your IO? Maybe i could set up an infopass to meet with him if i could.

Hey how did your interview go?

When you call USCIS do you ask to speak to an IO? Because most of the time your talking to a secretary thats just giving you generic answers, try getting an IO or supervisor on the phone and explain your case to them, I think they can do more for you.

i tried to walk in, but they wouldnt let me do it, the guard even stamped my paper and crossed it out. He told me its a new rule they've been enforcing for the last two months, no early biometrics, I was so disappointed, this was in Hackensack ASC too.
