    You made a very good point, I have no objection to that. In my personal opnion, it doesn't matter you have 120 days or not, WOM or 1447b are not very strict formal lawsuit, there are a lot of space for plaintiff and defentdent to argue. Judges more likely use "Freeheart" principle as...

    When you sue goverment agent, you acturally sue the head of that department. The major defendent of your WOM is Director of USCIS and Director of FBI. You can add as much co-defendents as you want, but the purpose is to push them to get your case solved. Regional Centers do not in charge of...

    My answer is yes, the reason is you have pending WOM, they are some legal issues and has to be reviewed by General Counsel Office (they handle all WOM case including background check "hit". but don't worry, DUI record shouldn't affect your approval. As your WOM is pending in Federal Court and It...

    If the "Name Check" is done with" positive", FBI will sent it back to USCIS regional center for adjudication; but if came back with "some nagative" which they are not sure, they will foward it to General Counsel Offfice of USCIS in Washington D.C. to let upper level guys decide. I dont think it...

    Did you try to contact your AUSA? She/He will give you some useful information and direction from USCIS.

    In my opinion, USCIS put expedite name check in different priority. If it is due to Judge Order, they will put it in top priority finish it in 20 ~60 days (Just an estimation). Second level like AUSA pushing hard will take 30 ~ 90 days. My guess is thet regular expedite name check now may take...

    I agree with you, so I guess they will only expedite name check for those cases which have high risk to lose in the court. That also reduced their pay attonery fee to low risk level. I noticed recently here, less case were approved compared to one or two months ago. Is that the effection of...

    It is still too soon to tell what's going to happen next only if you have a chance to call AUSA who was assigned to your case, but since you hired lawyer to handle WOM, she/he should be the best person to talk to AUSA. Here is my guess what's going happen to your case; AUSA usually will contact...

    My case was assigned to the same person (Derri Thomas). My case was solved by end of Jan. 2007 (WOM was filed on middle of December, 2006. Basically, we was told samething, at that time I parepared everything to fight to the last step, but be my surprise.... What I can tell you are (1)what...

    It is a bad idea in my personal experience. I even tried to get my senator's office representive to call AUSA to explain my status, but my AUSA refused to do so (even she is very nice person and help me a lot to solve my case). I guess there are two reasons: (1) This is legal associated issue...

    Bobyang3 Becareful, this is general expedite criteria, USCIS has another criteria for FBI name check expedite criteria which is different from this one. My suggestion is using this one to attack their double standard. USCIS can explain those criteria whatever they want. this is a good argument...

    In my personal opinion, it is not just money, it is also due to this stupid name check precedure. It is not just your name, but your name with all possible combination (good luck if you have a very complicated name and go through automatic computer check smoothly). My guess is there are 10~15%...

    I am not an expert, but I like to comment a little with my personal experience: (1) 44 month waiting is the longest one I saw based on my observation on I-485 petition; This is maybe why Judge ordered directly even before 60 days deadline. The judge already made up his mind on your favor. You...

    The real factor is: there are 4000 WOM cases pending in USA. USCIS can't using automatic expedite policy anymore. Even they want to, there will be a average 3 ~4 monthes waiting time for expedite name check to be cleared. At this time, they have to stop the backlog accumulation of expedite name...

    Just want add one more thing to your suggestions: I went to Local Post Office, if you tell them your green cards missing, they will acturally print out a cofirmation copy with receiever's signature on it, also it includes data, address, and mail number. I think it should do it.

    That is good question, to be honest with you, nobody know what's the next, but let us think it on US Attonery standpoint. It is their job to defend USCIS, FBI in the Federal Courts, they have to do it even they dont agree with USCIS on this crisis. If every case ends up in the federal courts...

    My case is that I filed WOM on December 15, I called my AUSA on Jan. 5th and was told no more name check expedite. I reported this bad news to this forum. Later on, I called again and again to AUSA, same answers, he said that he can't do anything with this new internal policy. I perpared to...

    Your US Attonery sent request, but it is up to USCIS General Consolse office to decided. My story is my AUSA sent request to USCIS again and again, but USCIS reply with this new policy change after December 22 and reject her request. AUSA only can suggest expedite but no power to decide it. You...

    I have to said that I admire your spirit and encouragment. to be honest with you, I came here with some kind thought that if you filed WOM, they will automatically solve your problem. I know I am wrong. USCIS will never treat us with respect if all of us are bounch of silent lambs. I am not...
