I am filing N-600 for my minor daugther (13 years)...we got her a US passport when we got ours after naturalization. Where should I file the form? The form instructions says nearest field/district office. However the Chicago field office at 101 W Congress Pkwy does not have N-600 as a form...

I am desperately trying to complete the online application so I can submit it at Chicago consulate tomorrow. When I save I am getting an error webpage not found or something like that (not sure of the exact error but I have got it three times now). I have already taken half a day off from work...

I mailed my wife and my applications to the Phoenix address last Friday which has been received by USCIS on 11/30. How long does it usually take to get a receipt notice (or the check deposit to show up in the bank)? No rush but just wanted to check what the usual timelines are. Thanks

I got my notice of I-485 approval around mid Feb 2005, had my interview and passport stamped on Feb 28, 2005. My GC is dated effective Feb 11, 2005. The company that sponsored my GC got acquired as of Mar 1, 2005. I am getting ready for applying for my citizenship. It is asking for 5 years of...

Hello All It is nice to back here. I used to be a regular visitor and participant when my green card processing was going on. It is now time to start looking at naturalization. I do have some time to go but thought will get a heads up. My I-485 was approved on 2/11/2005, interview and...

At last our GC saga/journey is over. We got our cards (my daughter and I on 5/31, my wife today) - close to 7 years from when we came to the US. The whole process took just the amount of time Boeing would take to produce 1155 jet planes (1155 days from the day my company initiated this process...

We got our passports stamped yesterday. We had our appointment at 9.20am. It was a terrible ride to downtown from the suburb that we live. We left at 6.45am and got there at about 8.45am! When we walked in it was 8.52am and the guy downstairs didn't let us in saying we were early by 13 minutes...

My wife and my 485's are approved. My daughter's (7 years old) is yet to be approved. What a struggle it has been! Compared to others while it went relatively smooth for me, getting my company to agree to process my GC was a struggle and took nearly 4 years from when I came to US to start. I had...

If anyone has experience in this... My wife and I got RFE for MMR. My physician had checked in I-693 that MMR is not required and USCIS has sent an RFE saying it is needed for everyone between the ages of 18 and 61. So they are asking us to get a vaccination. My physician claims that we need...

I was a on a self imposed hiatus for a week. As my frustration level was increasing by the day, I promised myself that I will not check status and also not visit this portal, nothing to do with GC. After a week I came back to see if anything has changed and unsurprisingly nothing has changed -...

I received an email from FBI that my name check was completed on April 16, 2003 (yes 2003) and the results were forwarded to USCIS, Washington DC. Now I thoroughly confused as to 1) why it was done on April 16, 2003 when my RD was 03/26/2003 and ND 04/10/2003 and 2) why it was forwarded to...

I was wondering if we could start tracking Mar/Apr 2003 485's. I know there is a seperate thread for tracking, but somehow it seems to be not so popular compared to this one. My details are: LIN - 0314553xxx RD - 03/26/2003 ND - 04/01/2003 EAD1/AP1/FP1 - 05/2003 EAD2/AP2 - 03/2004 I...

Employment based 485 has regressed to 8/10/2001 again. Not that this has any significance or relevance in the whole scheme of INS enigma that even a rocket scientist would fail to comprehend; nevertheless it is a showcase example of chaos that reigns in this organization.

This morning as usual I wanted to go through the formality of checking my 485 status and was shocked to see a message that says "We mailed you a receipt with information about processing. It is taking between 30 and 90 days for us to process this kind of case. We will mail you a decision as soon...
