    How long is AP approval taking

    My recent AP took a little more than 90 days to approve - and this without RFE. (Submitted end of March, approved end of June) If an RFE is requested (this happens now about 25% - 40% of the times) you need to reserve another 3-4 weeks. So if you need to travel in October, submit your AP...

    485 FP related questions.

    I was under the impression that if we change address we are obliged to let DHS know by sending an AR11 form, otherwise we may face very unpleasant proceedings ( e.g. denial, deportation). Is it possible to notify DHS about your move without updating the address in the I-485 petition...

    If you have a lawyer that you trust, then contact him/her first. In any case, collect the required documents ASAP: If you have a birth certificate for the requested person in English, then a copy of this document is all that is needed. If it is in another language, get a person other...

    AP - Authorizing officer's signature missing in new AP??

    Yes, when you get the AP document in the mail the lower right box is empty. When you use it for the first time to enter the US, the officer in the port of entry will stamp it. He/she should give the stamped original back to you. If he doesn't, you should politely ask for it - they may forget...

    On Ap How long can you Stay outside U.S

    People in this forum correctly recommend that you should enter the U.S. a week or more before AP expires. Do not wait for the last few days. Imagine your flight is postponed because of the weather, for example! As for the duration of stay, there is no specific limit on how long you can stay...

    What do you expect from CSC Petition?

    As mentioned in many other web sites and threads, the real problems is that BCIS is understaffed and the employees there are underpaid and many times undertrained. On top of this, DHS imposes all kinds of priorities on the service centers, and AOS applications are usually thrown to back...

    Unique Problem!

    GCFasttrac, This is the most lively thread we have had for a long time, so it is tempting to throw in our 2c. I join the majority here - there is no legal point in trying to reverse the ex-spouse's GC. More than that: even if there is a way to do it, I would advise against it. If...

    I485 Fax Inquiry Details

    Actually, we got an RFE in November 2002. My child needed to do fingerprinting because of age. We did all that in December 2002. Because of this RFE, I was under the impression that the files were submitted for adjudication at that time. With this fax answer, I do not know any more...
