Got the cards for me and wife last Friday, glad this journey is finally over.

6 days after officer #303 recieved my RFE, rest please see my signature. I was surprisingly calm when I saw the message, maybe because so much emotion, anxiety has been poured into this throughout the process, hang in there guys, there is actually hope! God bless us all.

Guys, My wife graduated from school in 2000 and started to use her OPT to work, her employer later sponsored her H1b visa. However; her H1b was approved 38 days AFTER her OPT expired (although H1b receipt date was BEFORE the OPT expiration date), but she didn't stop working during that...

Part of my I485 asked for "affidavit of support for my family", anybody has experience answering this FRE, particularly: 1) Do I need to file form I-134, or a simple letter stating my support for the family is enough? 2) Is the I-134 what I need to file, or I have to file some other forms...

Got RFE for my NIW-based case, asking for proof that "I will indeed continue working in your field of endeavor in US". I saw some posts say that NIW-based I485 are almost certain to be transferred to local office, but I also saw a recent USCIS memo (posted on this website) saying NIW case...

Finally got my RFE for NIW-based I485, among other common things (legal status, I-94 etc) it specifically asks me to "...submit a detailed letter of support to verify that you will indeed continue working within your field of endeavor in the United States..." I can ask my employers to...

2 days ago got an email from USCIS Texas Center saying they issued a RFE for my and my wife's 485 application. Want to do a quick survey on how many people got their NIW/EA/OR cases transferred to local office. Does RFE normally mean case won't be transferred to local office? (I will really...

Guys, Made an inquiry myself through 800# on March 20, yesterday got a letter from TSC saying "case is referred to a supervisor, wait 60 days". Just want to do a quick survey for those of you who got that message: 1. has anything happened after the case is transferred to the supervisor...

Ran into this on the web, I guess as long as your FBI name check is cleared, your case should be ready to be approved... here is the contents: OPEN DOOR OCTOBER/NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2004 CIA CHECK ELIMINATED AT DISTRICT OFFICES In an August 4th memo, Citizenship and Immigration Services...

Friends, My FBI name check was finally clearer after 2 years of wait, but I read somewhere there also is a CIA check needed for I485 cases. Anyone knows how to find out whether CIA has cleared you or not? caiyw001

Just recieved letter from congressman saying my name check is still pending in FBI (I485 RD: Dec 2002). Has anyone who had the similar problem done anything to get it resolved? The only thing I can think of is to contact the congressman/senator for their help, just wondering is there any other...

Both my wife and I did our early FP this week, but for some reason I was chosen to get the FP done on the paper while my wife did it through the machine. When I asked them why, the guys in the FP center just told there weren't enough machines to accomodate all the people. But, when I called...

Hi folks, My wife has filed her H1b extension last week, her 1st leg of the H1b expires in late August. Seems like it is impossible to get her extension approved before then, my questions are: 1. Can she continue to work after August as long as she get the reciept of H1b extension? 2...

Hi: Has anyone done H1B renew yourself instead of using a lawyer? I would appreciate it if you could share your experience, or let me know what need to be done. thanks. caiyw001

Hi, gurus: My H1B expires this July, but instead of paying $1000+ to lawyer for this seemingly-simply task, it is possible for us to do it ourself? I am wondering is there a do-it-yourself kit avaialble or not? Thanks a lot!!! Caiyw
