    do I need to have my passport stamped?

    Gurus, Both my wife and me got the GCs quite fast (we actually did receive the plastic I-551 cards), which means that our passport did not get stamped. I was the primary applicant throught the whole process (wife applied as a dependent of me). Here are my questions for you: 1. Do we still...

    Hi nidhi22, I have no idea how/what they did with the name check process... After the biometrics (code 3), which were taken at a local center, I was a bit worried because there was no change in online status (I called them a couple of times, and their response was to be patient). My...

    all at TSC Hi Asib, Yes, the entire thing was processed at the TSC (nothing in the regional office -- except, of course, the biometrics). My case was based on Labor Certificate (the university did the labor certification process and the I-140 -- both were approved in some 4-5 weeks)...

    Approved in record time (40 days)!!!!!

    you're right Hi andy garcia, Thanks! Indeed, looking in retrospect, it seems like a waste of money. However, at that time, I had absolutely no idea on how long it would take (heard way too many stories NOT to play it safe). So, playing safe was the only logical option. All the best to...

    all the best Hi saras76, Thanks and good luck to you! I share your feelings vis-a-vis retrogression... Hopefully, a law or something taking care of this should come out soon. You know, it's a big mistery on how TSC handles the cases. Could it be the case that they speed up the process...

    Guys, A record has been set: my I-485 case (as well as my wife's, who applied as a dependent of me) was approved by TSC in 40 days!!!!! Yes, TSC rocks! Quite unbelievable, considering that I did everything myself, without any intermediaries (lawyers). I checked my e-mail this morning and...

    Hi y'all! Gurus, just a simple question: what's the turnaround time to see an update of your case (something like "we received your fingerprints") on www.uscis.gov? My wife and I have the biometrics (code 3) taken this past Thursday (11/02/05), but so far nothing on the online status portal...
