    Anyone stayed > 6 months and returned without REP

    If you are returning back in 10 months, you don't have to have an REP. You need it when you are away for more than an year. It's clearly mentioned on http://www.welcometousa.gov/ (welcometousadotgov). I don't know why people have this misconception that they need an REP for a trip longer than...

    Anyone stayed > 6 months and returned without REP

    I was in India for almost 7 months and didn't have REP. The guy at EWR didn't ask me a single question. If the trip outside USA is less than an year and if it's a first long trip outside, I believe it should be ok to travel without REP.

    Approved

    Thank you all. Yeah, I got a call. I took my phone out to make a call and saw there was a voicemail from an IO. When I returned the call I was told our applications were approved. He said online status would be updated after midnight. I see an LUD today, but the message is yet to change.

    EAD approval and LUD on I-140

    I see LUD (Dec 22) on my approved I-140 and H1B. My priority date is current. When I spoke with an IO last week, she said everything looked ok on my I-485 and she would send an email to her supervisor. Therefore I am hoping to receive some good news soon.

    Stuck in Namecheck

    I have been stuck in name check hell since June 2006. It's frustrating to hear the same thing from the IOs...Except for your name check everything else is all set. I am afraid with thousands of new applications USCIS will run out of visa numbers in a matter of days in October. That would mean...

    Hello goudpmk, Were you asked to go to local federal office in regards to your pending name check or something else? My name check has been pending for a while and everytime I call up TSC, I'm told everything else is all good to go except for the name check.

    Spoke with TSC IO - Name Check Still Pending

    Yes, I have taken 2 Infopass appointments in the past. The last one was in July. We were told the same thing. My husband's name check has been clear and mine was still pending. I have been here in the US on and off since 2000 and I have moved a lot...4 different states. That could be the reason...

    Spoke with TSC IO - Name Check Still Pending

    Hi, I just got off the phone with a very nice lady from TSC (which side of the bed did I get off from in the morning? :) ). Well, the news was not very nice though. USCIS received my response to TB skin test RFE on July 30. As usual there were 2 LUDs, one on July 30 and another on July 31. I was...

    RFE on 485 on 07/06/07 - Please help with my question.

    shree_lk, Hope something fruitful comes out of the Infopass appointment for you on Thursday. Btw, how long does it take to put together the result of TB Skin Test? I have made an appointment with the physician for coming Wednesday.

    RFE on 485 on 07/06/07 - Please help with my question.

    shree_lk, It's more likely that you are already approved. But I can understand the uncertainty that you are facing for now. I would make an Infopass appointment to be able to extract info apart from what the online status is showing. Meanwhile would keep checking the status and make couple of...

    MARCH-15-2007 VSC->TSC Transfer Case Please report here.

    Just an update. My case was transferred on March 15. Spoke with an IO a while back. She told me that RFE was sent today. I asked if that meant visa number was allocated to my case. She didn't really answer that question telling that assigned visa number was not the only indication that case...
