No. Before approval I had to LUDS one was Aug. 18 ... the mass LUD that many experienced and one when they issued my last fingerprinting notice.

We filed the WOM mid-August 2006 when my priority date was *not* current. In fact the EB2 category for India, to which my application belonged, was "Unavailable". The expected turn around time from the FBI was 60 days i.e. roughly by the end of Oct. 2006. In Mid-Sept. 2006, the visa bulletin for...

$2000 lawyer fee + $350 filing fee charged by the court.

No my priority date wasn't current on the day we filed WOM. But I do not see how that should matter. Our lawsuit was against the FBI to clear the namecheck and namechecks don't have any priority dates associated with them. My communication with the FBI, via the senator, had clearly revealed that...

Google for Daniel Huang in Alhambra, CA and you will get his website.

Yes, the WOM was filed against FBI which comes under the Dept. of Justice (DOJ). So essentially the lawsuit was against the attorney general Alberto Gonzales who heads the DOJ. But it never reaches that high up. Once the DOJ receives the notice, they assign a assistant US DOJ attorney from a...

My I-485 was filed in Jan. 2004, EB2 category. Early this year, after waiting for over 2 years and learning that I was stuck in the FBI namecheck, I did the usual things like writing to the senator, congresswoman of the area, the DHS ombudsman, FBI's NNCP division, a FOIPA request etc. This had...

The only victim of the processing delays is us the applicants. Other than that the economics of the whole situation is very well figured out by the involved parties. Like you guys said USCIS makes plenty of money by delaying adjudication (the ombudsman clearly points this out in his latest...

I had to cancel my trip to India at the time, since obtaining the transit visa would have taken at least a couple of weeks. So I just remained in the US. Next time I fly to India, will do so on American Airlines' direct flight to Delhi from Chicago. I have no interest in paying a dime to the...

For transiting throgh London you definitely need a transit visa. I was not allowed to board a Biritish Airways flight originating in the US for my journey to Mumbai via London because I did not have a transit visa for UK. The transit visa is waived only if you have a green card or a valid visa...

I think you do need a transit visa (at least on your way back to the US). AP is not considered as valid visa. I know the British won't allow you to pass through London without a transit visa if you are travelling on AP. I experienced this first hand last October. At the time I was told the rules...

I had posted the following in another thread: LUD is "Last Update Date". After joining this forum i did not know how to see it for a long time. But recently I figured it out from an old post. If you go to USCIS status check website and type your case number you will simply see the status...

I think someone IS taking notice! Yesterday's Talk of Nation program on NPR covered issues legal immigrants face (hear recording at http://www.npr.org/templates/story/story.php?storyId=5398818). I am thankful to the caller named Amit who phoned in from southern california and mentioned some of...

If you email him, he will respond saying "submit your query in writing including supporting documents". In my case, i included a copy of my I-485 receipt and sent him a letter explaining the delay in my case, and other identifying info (date of birth, case no, address etc.). He (his name is Mr...

I think it's just paper teeth. I have got a similar reponse from the Ombudsman regarding my I-485 case which has been pending since Jan. 2004 due to FBI the name check delay which was initiated by the USCIS in Feb. 2004. The USCIS will come back explaining that they can't do nothin' because they...
