The latest information that I have (which might not be the latest latest) is that if you have the physical green card you don't need an airside transit visa while flying through Heathrow. Is that true as of today? Let me know. Thanks.

Just 13 days shy of completing 10 long years in this great country, I finally received the physical green cards for myself and spouse in the mail today (08/03/2004). The cards came in unmarked (i.e., no USCIS logo, etc.) white window envelopes. They're so inconspicuous that you wouldn't even...

Just checked my email, and saw mails from USCIS as follows: On July 31, 2004, the card order was completed and we mailed the applicant's new card directly to him or her. If 14 days have passed and you have not received this card, you may wish to verify or update your address. To update your...

I checked our status online this morning. The LUD showed as 7/28/04 but the message was the same old approval message. Then in the afternoon I got emails from USCIS as follows: On July 28, 2004, after approving your application, we ordered you a new card. Your card will be mailed to you as...

Here's my passport stamping experience: My wife and I reached the Philadelphia USCIS office (1600 Callowhill Street) around 9.30 am. Got a token number in about 15 minutes. Waited till 1.20 pm when our number was called. Presented approval notice (courtesy copies), passports with I-94...

Our cases were approved today (06/24/2004). Please refer details at http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=131500

Phew! I don’t know where to start. My heart’s pounding and my excitement knows no bounds. I was looking forward to this day and it has happened. I got the automated email from USCIS-CSSO this morning at 11.00 am. I had just returned from a meeting while at work when I saw 4 emails in my...

please reply to this message to see how we are doing and where we stand.

I'm waiting for the 485 approval. As you can see from my signature we submitted the RFE response on 5/6/04 (RD 5/10/04) and hoping that approval will happen anytime now. There's this home which we had seen in Nov 2003 that has come up for sale. We really liked it then (in Nov 2003) but I...

My 3rd AP application with RD 11/05/2003 was finally approved on 06/02/2004. I received it in the mail today (06/05/2004).

How long does it take for the online status to reflect the receipt of the RFE Response? Does anyone have any idea? Thanks in advance.

Please refer my posting in the VSC forum: http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=124362

My attorney informed me today that he has received a Notice of Intent to Deny my 485 from USCIS because I apparently failed to be lawfully present in the US during a certain period before filing my 485. My online status does not reflect this. The funny thing is that they don't know what's...

We are in the process of finalizing the RFE response. Our attorney has some concerns about layoff before 180 days after filing 485 (485 RD 02/2002, Layoff in 06/2002). My understanding is that the time of leaving or being laid off from the sponsoring company does not matter as long as the...

We have received an RFE for employment letter and 2 months pay stubs. I was wondering whether we should respond through the lawyer or ourselves. Is a cover letter explaining use of AC21 required? If not, then I guess we're just better off responding ourselves, but if the cover letter, though...

I had contacted Senator Rick Santorum's office in Feb 2004. They returned with a response from USCIS on 2/24 saying that our FP/Name/DOB check was completed and that they would assign an officer to our cases. On 3/30 Senator's office got back saying they will issue an RFE. When I checked...

3rd EAD RD 12/10/03 Approved on 3/31/04. Already obtained iEAD from Philly District Office on 3/12/04 valid for 8 months.

Why is CIS approving September 2002 cases when even Jan 2002 hasn't started in full swing? Can we not do something about it? Maybe, we should contact our local Senators/Congressmen informing them of this gross injustice being done to applicants some of whom have been waiting for over 2 years...

We left home at 7.30 am and by the time we finished parking it was about 8.30 am when we got into the building. There was a queue at the token counter. We got our token number at 9.30 am. The lady at the token counter was courteous. We hadn't filled new I-765 forms so she gave us one and...

Well, looking at all the recent posts I concede that EADs are not renewed back-to-back anymore. No arguments there. Our (my wife's and mine) current EAD is valid till March 12, 2004. We applied for our renewal on Dec 12, 2003. Based on calendar days, we complete 90 days on March 11, 2004...
