Antonioa77, I perfectly understand your frustration with the entire process. Unfortunately the name check experiences differ greatly from person to person. I can range from 1 day to 2-3 years and it seems there is no discernable pattern. One thing is sure though - once you are out of name...

I thought the same but it seems there are (few) cases where a pending name check can keep everything on hold. I can only aproximate that the name check was cleared mid September.

When I took an infopass appointment to get the interim EAD I found out that all applications were onhold due to name check. I am from Eastern Europe and my name is not common. I did nothing to clear the name check other than to inquiry when the applications were outside processing dates.

My name check was pending until 3 months ago and during this time all my applications (140,765,131,485) were onhold.

485 Approved I received the emails today that I485 was approved for me but not for my spouse. Is this normal?

At the beginning of the November I called USCIS to inquiry about the status of my pending I-485. I've got the following response: "Your application is awaiting assignment to an Officer. You will be notified when a decision has been made or if additional information is needed." Couple weeks...

Please add me to the tracker. See the details in my signature.

Finally approved!!! After a wait of more than 8 months I received the email notifications that my long pending I140 has been approved. Good luck to all you guys.

Most likely you are approved. You should get the email notifications any time now.

I am still waiting since Feb. I'll have my lawyer inquiry USCIS about the delay.

I had an identical LUD change for H1B, I140 and AP with the difference that my I140 and AP are not yet approved.

Cincinnati, I am is a similar situation. No approval on any of my applications. I called National Customer Service Center 2 weeks ago to inquire about my EAD and I received an email next that it is under going security checks. I will wait until I140 is 30 days outside processing dates and I...

I got my FP/Bio appointment after almost 3 months.

Congrats Suri, Have you filled I485 also? What was RFE for?

I got my interim EAD yesterday without any problems. I was told by the emigration officer that the final EAD is not ready because they haven't received the biometrics from ASC for I-765. My appointment for biometrics was only for I-485. She recommended to go to ASC and tell them to take my...

Many people get RFE for documents they already sent along with the applications. Earlier in this thread I asked the same question and it seems that it is easier for USCIS to ask for documents or maybe they simply hope you lost your approval.

I was exactly in the same situation and my lawyer told me that there is no problem to file I-485 while H1B extension is still pending. Worst case scenario you will get a RFE to show that your extension is approved. Do not waste time and file I-485.

Congrats!!! Is your PD current and if yes have you applied concurrently for I485?

The fast approvals as TSC were for applications with PD not current. The target clients for premium processing are those with PD current. There is no reason to pay extra to get an I-140 approval and after that to wait a few years to apply for I-485. Also, the official TSC processing dates are...

I would be surprised to see approvals with RD in Feb or Mar now that USCIS wants to implement premium processing services for I-140. 3-4 month backlog will be the norm. Look at I-129, it is constantly in a 3 month backlog even when H1B quota is exhausted. Nevertheless, I would pay for the...
