What does it mean for old-timers? vvvunlucky, What does the IV rally mean for old-timers with PD going back to 2001/2002? We've been screwed by BEC's and now we are the one getting screwed by the namecheck process. The main focus of IV is to remove retrogression and increase visa numbers...

Count me in too... :( Guys, my PD is Sep '02 and I am still waiting. I am being told by NSC that I am waiting for a security check that is done by an external agency. I am assuming that this is Name Check. I have no idea if it will take a day or a year. Looks like all of us who had cases go...

I think you are right. 485 processing can't start before 140 is cleared. My 140 was cleared recently and the IO's tell me that my name check is pending. So, does it mean my name check just got initiated?

I don't know if it is just my wishful thinking but I am continously seeing a few approvals here and there for 2001-2003 cases from NSC. I think they are actively working on older cases first. I know they are supposed to be processing based on RD and then take PD into consideration but I see...

What does it all mean So guys, I talked to an IO about a week and he said that my case is "pending background security check which is done by another agency". What does it mean? Does it mean my case is pre-adjudicated and pending Name Check clearance? What is the sequence of steps that...

Congratulations! Congrats MTReddy! You know this is what's so stupid about this process. Everything has to be lined up for you RD/PD/XD/YD..... I have a PD of Sep '02 and there are visas available but I was stuck in PBEC and was able to file I-485 in Feb 2007. So now, I am stuck waiting...

Ok, so I am a bit new to the 485 process. It looks like I am officially in the NC process. I called NSC today and the IO said that my application is pending "Background Security Check". He won't tell me anything more than that. Is there any way to get any more information? Should I...

adn how do you know if you are stuck in Name check?

I have the same question. Does anyone know if approval of 1-140 helps the movement of 485?

atyagi, good to see you man! I am seeing a lot of old names .... nomanland, I am not surprised you feel this way. I have a lot of friends who applied just a year before me and their GC's were cleared in a 1 year time and they are already in the line for citizenship. It gets pretty...

Since there are a lot of knowledgable ppl here I am sure someone has seen this. My I-140 got approved on 08/17 and I got an automated email from CIS. Since then I have been seeing LUD's on my 140 application daily. Any idea why the application is getting touched daily after approval? Does it...

Looks like this is the ultimate 485 tracking thread for NSC. Since, I am a newbie to the 485 process can someone: give me a general outline of 485 process i.e. if you are not stuck in name-check do they call you for an interview? What happens at the interview? What kind of questions? Also...

Hello Folks, I am starting this consolidated I-485 thread for all the folks who are coming out of the BEC mess after spending anywhere between 3 to 5 years and are filing/have filed I 1485. I would encourage everyone to discuss the following: 1. Document requirements for 1485. 2. What...

So there is no single thread where ppl are tracking movement of their 485 applications? Man, that sucks! There is countless threads here. What do you guys think? Should we start a consolidated thread for 485 tracking?

greynicolls, I know this process is really frustrating but don't let it overtake your life. I feel frustrated from time to time ... especially when I see jobs that I am eligible for but can not apply. Any specific threads you can recommend for 485? Maybe I should start a 485 thread for...

Hey Guys, You guys are old timers from PBEC! How are you guys? Can you tell me the best thread to read/hang around for 485 pending in NSC? Thanks

New to 485, need info Can someone give me a general outline of 485 process i.e. if you are not stuck in name-check do they call you for an interview? or do they sometimes waive it? What happens at the interview? What kind of questions? Also, what documents do they ask you to bring? What traps...

airbed, Thanks for the info. When I said new to the forum I meant new to 485 forums :D Jeez, 217 posts, I have started greying looking at these forums. So anyone has experience with calling NSC for status updated? Do they respond with the info or is it just mostly boilerplate...

Hello Folks Hello Folks, I am new to this forum and wanted to say hello to everyone. As you can see that I have a PD of Sep '02 and was stuck in PBEC. I see a few old-timers from PBEC here. The wait in PBEC de-senistised me so badly that I have no idea now what's involved in 485 stage...

140 Approval Greetings to all BEC fellow sufferers, My I-140 finally got approved on 8/17. It was filed on 2/16 and was approved in exactly 6 months. This is in contrast with the posted time of 9 months by USCIS. For once I feel that I haven't been screwed by the govt. Four years of...
