I was talking to a lawyer at some big tech company here in Silicon Valley, and they told me that nothing needs to be filed for AC21. They claimed that AC21 documents will cause more confusion to USCIS, than they will help. What you may want to do is H1 Transfer, so that you don't have to use EAD...

From ILW.COM: Dear Editor: "Separately, Immigration Daily has learned that USCIS expects a 40% reduction in FBI name check delays by year-end." Does "year-end" refer to Dec 31, 2007 or does it refer to some other date such as the end of the government fiscal year in the Fall of 2008? (see...

I like this one, taken from http://www.ilw.com/immigdaily/digest/2007,1205.shtm --- I have advocated previously in an ID letter that more federal court actions should be filed, because it is obvious the president and the Congress are impotent to resolve this matter, or seemingly any other...

It would be interesting to find what they actually meant. A few Russians I know were waiting for NC for about 3 years, then 40% reduction in delay means reduced wait time of 1 year and 10 months. That would be a very good improvement. On the other hand, if they take all cases considered...

No I-485 without FBI NC : ( http://www.immigration-law.com/Canada.html 12/04/2007: DHS Reaffirm Its Policy Not to Approve Applications Without FBI Namecheck Results As we reported it day before yesterday, the current secuirty management environment is different from those in pre-9/11 era...

NC blackhole Just went to Infopass appointment. I hoped that with recent movement in 2006 cases, mine could move as well. False hopes, it's still in NC blackhole... for 1.5 years now. The officer suggested that FBI could've sent case to my home country for processing.

My first LC is completely abandoned. I-485 uses PD from the second LC (PD March 2006), and I did not attempt to transfer PD between LC applications. However, I'm EB2 and from Rest Of the World (ROW), so not retrogressed as of now. That's why I dropped my older LC without much hesitation.

G-325A and namechecks I remember some discussions in this thread on what information is sent to FBI for performing the namechecks (e.g. country of origin, home address, etc). Here is a post from 12/01/99: http://www.immigration-law.com/What's-new.html Updated 12/01/99: Mistery of Agency...

immigration-law.com skeptical about approvals without FBI NC Here is a more skeptical note http://www.immigration-law.com/Canada.html What I don't understand is why they're saying that USCIS would previously approve without namecheck in the presense of mandamus lawsuit. I thought it was a...

On the positive side, read news ticker at http://www.shusterman.com "... the USCIS will soon adopt a new policy wherein applications will be approved within a fixed number of days with, or without, an FBI name check." They're saying it was known for a while, but was kept secret, so they...

Here you go, not much info: http://www.durrani.com/docs/FBI%20Process.pdf Secretary Chertoff Advises of Changes in FBI Name Check Clearance Process AILA InfoNet Doc. No. 07113061 In a meeting with AILA and other organizations, DHS Secretary Chertoff indicated that USCIS and the FBI are...

> ND stands for NOtice Date? Yes. I think receive date (RD) or notice date (ND) are all the same from the stand point of WOM - it's a proof that you waited for 2 years. > Hwo did you ascertain that yor case is stuck with FBI namecheck since such-n-such date? Infopass - go there, and ask...

Significantly reduce name check backlogs in the next 6 months? http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=81&Itemid=61 Update: Nov 28, 2007 IV has met officials from agencies and has raised this issue in the recent past. We have been informed that there is an...

Yes, PD has to be current. Judge is unlikely to demand expedited processing of a benefit you're not currently entitled to. You will need at least 2 years of wait since ND, and many documented fruitless attempts to resolve this situation, before you can expect a favorable WOM ruling. Read...

My understanding is that they only order card production if your GC has been approved. Approved means approved, no numbers or anything else to check, card production should be as simple as printing the plastic and mailing it out.

This sounds like DB maintenance/schema_upgrade/whatever... I got LUD on approved I140 yesterday (on Sunday). I140 was approved more than a year ago, and I'm in NC according to my call to USCIS.

Congratulations! Could you share name/address info for the 5 FBI officers you wrote to? Could you post a sample letter? I have my own, but it's always interesting to see what ideas others use.

Letter when FBI NC is complete? I called USCIS phone line and the lady was very persistent telling that once FBI finishes processing fingerprints (did she confuse that with NC?), they would inform USCIS, and then USCIS would inform me by mail that my FBI processing is complete. Did anyone...
