    question about approval related to name check memo

    thanks praetorian. It's a little confusing I guess. Wonder if USCIS will communicate with me once the processing is "done". Also, I believe one can apply for citizenship 2 years (or is it 3?) after getting permanent residency. So will I be eligible 2 years from now or 2 years from when I am done...

    FBI Name Check

    And my guess is that I had a second interview because my first one took place before my second wedding anniversary. At the time of approval (today), I've been married for more than 2 years, so before approving for the 10 year GC, USCIS wanted to make sure I am still married. Anyway, it's all...

    FBI Name Check

    I moved last year, so I guess USCIS had to transfer file to the new local office. Anyway, I got an email saying card production ordered .. so that answers my question.

    Hello, My family based greencard case is pending for a long time. I've been called for fingerprinting again. I don't have possession of my passport because I applied for UK visa by mail. So my question is - will they accept a driver's license (a US state) as ID for taking biometrics or is a...

    URGENT!!! RFE for BC for my mom

    Birth certificate from consulate is accepted in some cases and sometimes not (I've read of cases where it wasn't accepted). I would suggest send the BC from consulate, but also start working on non-availability of BC and affidavits meanwhile (it might take a while to get those from india). The...

    Interim EAD?

    Why does it matter whether you are beginning employment or are already employed (in case of EAD renewal etc). If the employee is asked to produce proof of eligibility to work on January 9th 2008 and the application is still pending, what gives her authorization to work. Why does it matter that...

    Interim EAD?

    asPapi, Are you sure about your bullet # 2. Why would she get a extra 90 days for employment after the expiration of current EAD. Can she work while her EAD application is pending? I've never heard/read of anything like that before. As far as I know just applying for EAD doesn't give you any...

    Average cost to hire a lawyer ?

    I asked one lawyer and was quoted around $3000. Filed myself, and I feel that's a much better option. Learnt a lot from the whole process, this forum definitely helped a lot. Although I'd definitely disagree with someone who mentioned on this thread about spending 1 hour filling out the forms...
