Completely Agree! I've been arguing the constitutional legality of requiring former Indian citizens to renounce their citizenship with people I meet but it doesn't seem to bother them. If in fact one does lose their Indian citizenship the moment another citizenship is acquired, then a conflict...

My country of birth is Bahrain, and I had undergone special registration and several background check headaches while waiting for H1B visa and so on. This security check was another headache. All in all my security check from the time of fingerprinting (Dec 14th) and approval (Aug 3rd) took 7...

DvWinner: After I got my fingerprints reviewed, my interview was scheduled within a couple of weeks (Janurary 2004). At the interview, my security check hadnt passed and my number wasn't correct, so I had to wait until August basically, and my security check finally passed. I did contact a...

Thanks Margarina. We all have hope. I can say that because I am from Bahrain (Middle East), I would have thought there was no hope in my security check coming through on time. My senators inquiry might have made a difference or none at all, but the fact is that my fingerprints were taken on...

tope: can you clarify for the rest of us: What is the CM/ECF?

Of course. Read this interesting case report from a couple who actually did sue and get their Green Cards approved on September 22, 2004: http://dv.semper-ante.com/

Guys I have good news. No I didnt save a bunch of money by switching to GEICO. I got a call from the Senators Office that I had contacted (Jon Corzine), and the Director of Immigration informed me that my case has been APPROVED!!! She said I should get the card within a couple of weeks and if it...

cheap? A lawsuit for only 2000? Lawyers were quoting $3000 just to file my entire application for adjustment of status. I would have thought it would have been upward of $5000.

Is anyone else considering a lawsuit to compel USCIS / other agencies to complete their security checks for Adjustment of Status? The senators office I contacted said they were not able to expedite any security check. I'm just not sure how much it would cost.

Aboalemr, AOS = Adjustment of Status, Medical Exam = takes usually about a week, primarily to finish the blood test and the reports. Doctors who do it usually examine you in about an hour. FBI chick = female who works in the Federal Bureau of Investigation FBI check = all adjustment of...

Share Sushi's Sentiments Sushi, I feel exactly the same way. We all shouldnt have to go through this kind of needless worrying and anxiety. It is really ridiculous and makes me think that USCIS has pushed us to the last rung of priority, even though it should be the most simple procedure. In my...

Fbi There are ways to check on what your FBI has on your files. I did a Freedom of Information Act Check, basically asking them to release any and all records on me to myself based on my name, date of birth, and place of birth. You can also check to see who has requested this record if you want...

Yes it is Check on travel.state.gov website. Its there. http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_2573.html

Waiting for Congressperson My Congressperson's office got back to me and said that they are investigating the case of why my security check hasnt come back. Nothing else to do but wait.

Foipa Yeah Sushi, in theory, they should approve it, unless the CIA is holding up some check. These days the checks are quite extensive, post 9/11, and since my country of origin is Bahrain, they have probably pushed my case to the back. In any case, I sent this response to the U.S. Senator...

FOIPA Came Back Hi guys, My FBI Freedom of Information-Privacy Acts (FOIPA) letter response came in today and the good news was that the search resulted in no records in their Central Records System files. So that means another background check (CIA?) might be pending or the USCIS is just...

Maybe If the FBI name check is pending, I dont know why the USCIS officers would have any influence to expedite the process. Can the USCIS officer force the FBI to expedite the checking? I'm sure that Agi already had his name check done in time, and that the officer just didnt notice.

Name Check Still Waiting Hi Guys, it seems there are quite a few people in the same predicament. I am a DV2005 winner from Asia and my number became current in June. I submitted AOS paperwork to Newark NJ in October, Fingerprints in December, Interview on January 31st and the officer said the...
