Agree I completely agree with Nelson. Even those who like to see full half of the glass and I used to consider myself one of them, will soon be facing the bitter truth. More people are stuck in name check and after by the end of summer the USCIS/FBI backlog will be a record high. Those of us...

New Processing times That makes sense. I am still mystified by them calling it :"an error". You can say that about a "typo" or "minor change". The two versions are completely different. I could not even explain that by a date shift. Wonder how they came up with the older version. Probably a...

3 months for I-485 You are right. Nevertheless, 3 months and for all service centers?! What a harmony! I can not imagine all centers reached that degree of efficiency just over one month. Yet I-131 and I-765 filers are retrogressed several months back. If they could process I-485 in 3...

Processing times Look at I-131 at NSC. They went back to June 2006. I think they mixed I-131 and I-485. So now you have to apply one year ahead of time for travel document!!

Well, The NSC processing times are out. They are processing I485 dating March 2007 while I-131 cases retrogressed to June 2006 and EADs are back to Nov 2006! I think there is an error. This is totally messed up. 3 months for I-485 and one year for a travel document. It should be the other way...

Friends, I just went over the Ombudsman's report to congress. There is a lot of emphasis of the Name check problem. The NC backlog jumped to almost 329,000 cases as of May 2007 (it was ~236,000 May 2006)!. Almost 33% of cases are pending more than on year. About 31,000 cases are pending more...

Sen Cornyn Amendement Hi Shvili, Thanks for addressing this issue. I just wanted to say that I read the text of the amendment and I could not find any reference to the use of secret evidence of deciding immigration cases. The amendment essentially attempts at closing some loopholes that...

I could not verify the source of this information. Amendement #1148 is not by Sen. Cornyn. It is rather Sen. Dodd. It is not related to the subject. Sen. Cornyn's amendement is #1184 and it did not touch on secret evidence in the amendement text. It just expands the scope of effect certain...

USCIS Halts Premium Processing on I-140s- per AILA

USCIS Halts Premium Processing on I-140s

Letter to 1st lady I have seen recently several posts that stated that 1st lady letter helped clear the name check. On the other hand many others in different threads had a different expreience and some had received letters from the FBI confirming that they are still stuck and that they should...

Any progress? Dear Igor, I am sorry to hear that. Same here. BTW, I remember that you mentioned some time ago that in May 07, it will be your first anniversary with USCIS and that you will start exploring the possibilities of your next step. Any progress?

TB Test TB test RFE are common. Technially, the civil surgeon should do the TB test and then document how many mm. is the diameter of reaction on the form and then proceed with X-Ray. In my case, I told them that I had a positive reaction and I told them it was 1.0 cm reaction, so the CS wrote...

Comment on the numbers I agree that there is a larger percent of names are being stuck but I disagree with the conclusion that 1/3 of I485 cases will have to wait >1 yr. If you look at the numbers, those who are waiting >1 yr (for NC) are one third of all whose applications are waiting NC...

I sent you a PM Hi feelinglucky, I sent you a PM but you may need to clear up some space to receive it. Thanks

H1b Lottery And the cases received today are yet to be counted. I think the total number will be much higher. I think it is time for reform.. seriously!

FYI- H1b Cap 2007 Reached H1b cap for 2007 is reached with over 150,000 petitions received yesterday only!

Rfe The most common RFE's are: 1- Birth certificate issues. 2- TB test not done or not documented why it is not done. 3- Emloyment letter 4- Suppoting evidence for: Bank account, savings, joint account, marriage certificate, etc..

Congrats! Congrats Alex! Wow! what a story? Mine looks so trivial in comparison. Good luck in the rest of your career.

Puzzling LUD on I612? Gurus and experts on this forum, I had LUD on a very old case (I612 case approved in 2003). The LUD was on 3/17/07. I have I485, H1b extension, I-765 applications pending. When I first applied to H1b visa, there were no LUD on the I612 case. Any one with an explanation...
