Good luck to All! No, I didn't need a lawyer. I just a bit of luck when I first went to the USCIS info pass visit to get an assistant that told me about the 'call up system' when he gave me the I-485 package, and having my first application denied earlier. Double whammy! Hopefully just extra...

Your case gives me hope. I'm on to it now. However, I'm a little confused with your Aug 21 step "USCIS requested & KCC mailed package". This won't happen for me for a while, but what is this procedure?

I refiled yesterday. I asked to be refunded and/or credited for the biometric, but just in case I put a whole new application in with new checks. USCIS should get it Monday morning. I REALLY hope it goes through correctly and in time. I would like to thank Anahit, Madhatter, Dragoman, and...

Madhatter, Here is my cover letter so far. What do you think? Also, I saw on another thread that the $375 receipt form Pittsburgh need not accompany the I-485 to Chicago. Is this right? Dear USCIS, Please find enclosed a RESUBMISSION of my I-485, Application to Adjust Status. My original...

LucyMO, This VERY useful information for me too. Are you SURE!?! Sorry to be untrusting, but you know about the pedantic nature of bureaucracy.

Madhatter, To answer one of your questions I missed, when I went to the USCIS with an infopass, and my KCC stuff, I was given the I-485 package and told to complete it, no mention of timing/bulletin board. Waiting for new receipt from Pittsburgh....anxiously!

Madhatter, Your post is very informative, thank you. Yes, the check(s) were for the Change of Status+Biometrics. I have already got another copy of the I-693 from my doctor ($40, not that bad). the KCC lady (what a great accent!) said I will have to pay the $325+$70 again, but it looks as if...

Thanks guys for the support! Yes, I'm a little calmer now. The USCIS fellow said the Chicago office is an out-sourced company that handles the I-485s and initial processing. An actual USCIC officer only sees the application much later than first submission, hence the huge delay. I still very...

Thanks for your advice Anahit, I have an infopass for today to ask what I can do. I rechecked all the documents and instructions I had received from all offices, but NOTHING about priority numbers or monthly quotas for filing is mentioned. In the denial letter it now has my No. as a priority...

Thanks for your response. You mean do it all again! Medical exam etc.! Another $500 dollars worth! Why did it take them 7 months to tell me!!!!!

I've just been notified that my application for change of status in association with my DV 2007 win is denied, because I filed in October 2006. My No. was 426 and the cut of for that month (the first month) was 150. I though filing the earlier the better! I thought the monthly case No. calling...
