    Can I mail the N-400 applications for me and my wife in the same package or do they have to be mailed separately? And will it have any kind of bearing on the processing timelines? Thanks!

    Early fingerprinting allowed in Wheaton (Maryland) or in Philadelphia?

    My wife has a fingerprinting appointment in Oakland, Ca, for next week, but we currently live in the northern Virginia area. Can she instead go to the ASC locations in Wheaton, Maryland, or in Philadelphia (both seem open Saturdays)? Has anybody gotten their fingerprinting done early...

    Thanks, guys, for the responses. A couple of quick follow-up questions: (1) What is FB2? Never heard of it.... (2) Does anybody have any idea how long the NSC is taking nowadays to issue receipt notices?

    I-485 application for wife on my pending AOS; health insurance for H-4

    Hi Folks, My wife just got her H-4 visa and will be arriving in US today. But since my I-485 is possibly close to get getting adjudicated (NSC; RD: 9/27/03; ND: 10/3/03), I want to file her I-485 as soon as she arrives. So here goes my list of questions: (1) She currently has neither a...

    RFE on EAD Renewal Application

    I am not sure what you mean by "elementary"....do you mean it is common knowledge? I don't remember what exactly I did -- if not separating them into two units, at the very least I would have ordered them in a sequence so the two applications could be easily separated. But I do remember...

    I am so confused

    I don't know what is happening to you, but can take a guess as to what is happening to your case. ;) For anybody to understand what the letter says, it would have been better if you copied/wrote exactly what it contained rather than attempt to paraphrase it. And it probably doesn't mean much...

    Travel Document taking 424 to 452 days ... amazing

    The form I-131 is used for applying not just for Advance Parole but other things too (Reentry Permit, Refugee Travel Document, etc.). Looks like the the timeframe they show in the receipt notice is the max it takes for any of these applications -- except, if you look in the NSC Processing Time...

    RFE on EAD Renewal Application

    I got an RFE to submit photos (!). What happened was that I sent both my AP & EAD renewal forms in the same package, and it looks like they separated them into two separate units/applications (AP had a RD of 14 Jul 2003 while the EAD had an RD of 15 Jul 2003) -- and all the photos were probably...

    application mess!

    But what about the $50 required for fingerprinting? Did you include a separate check for that?? Even if you did not include that, it surprises me that the bank would allow more withdrawal than written on the check. Is it the case that BCIS can circumvent typical banking procedures for...

    Advance parole issue

    It looks like even when one is perfectly safe, would-be immigrants find new and creative ways to worry themselves. :-) At least as far as your main question is concerned ("Will it be a problem if she returns with the New Advance Parole?"), I think there shouldn't be any problem as long your...

    Advance Parole from NSC taking between 375-410 days?????

    Hey guju, thanks for the info/response -- it's some relief to know I am not the only one. But I looked at the receipt notice of my first Advance Parole (which I got last year), and in it the expected time was "only" between 140-170 days (but mine was approved in under 40 days). One wonders...
