I got 485 approval notices for my self, wife and children. Do I need to get only one infopass appointment, of consecutive appointments for each of us? Please help Thanks Elnegro

Dear friends of this forum, I finally got the 485 approval for myself and my family members. I cannot believe it yet. After 4+ years of wait, sleepless nights, and overwhelming strees, we finally reached the end. For those who are waiting for 140 approval or just got the 140 approval...

Out of Murthy.com, shows USCIS criteria for asking for a 485 interview. Elnegro http://www.murthy.com/news/n_perint.html

Did anybody get 140 approval and then later (not the same day) in two days or later, get the 485 approval? We've seen multiple 140 approvals lately but I don't think they followed 485 approvals (unless they were processed/approved simultaneosly) Elnegro

Gurus, Can we handwrite on the AP and EAD applications forms? Or should we use a writable form? If we need to use writable forms, would you please post copies on this thread? I found one for 131 but it "expired" on 6/2004 Thanks Elnegro

I know this is a stupid question because they don't really "work", but lets re-phase it: "is NSC open for Business on Friday March 25th"? Elnegro

You can read the whole article at: http://www.murthy.com/news/n_formov.html "Nebraska Service Center The Nebraska Service Center (NSC) reports the longest processing times, with a reported processing date of cases filed on or before August 31, 2002. The cases for which we have received...

Dear Forum Members, The Ohata Memo that was in placed basically had the examiners work on 140-485 at the same time and concurrently approve the cases. Then the Ohata Memo was taken out, and a new order of processing 140's in a stand alone fashion was issued. What is going on now...

If you had 140/485 or 140 approvals only in 2005, please update the latest version of the spreadsheet in the thread called: "Recently Approved 140 applicants check list " at: http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=166515 Please remember to get the laster version of the...

Gurus, What do you think is the criteria NSC is using when processing concurrent filed 140/485s on whether approving just the 140 or both 140 and 485? I've been seeing in this forum that we have both cases. Even when PD are current, we still see only 140 approval on concurrently filed...

Gurus, I have to file EAD and AP for my wife for the first time (she is currently on H1B). I always thought that EAD could be filed by us, but AP has to be filed by my sponsor's attorney. Do you guys have any first hand experience in this type of case? Did you guys filed and got AP...

At this point the members of this forum should realize that the USCIS officials don't know what they are doing. Over the years they went back and forth trying over and over again the same things (and therefore making the same mistakes). Ohata Memo: Great creation (in theory !!) Lets get all...

I just read the article "Priority Dates May Retrogress" on Murthy.com and I am a little confused about it. Would this affect new filers that file after the cut-off dates? Would it have an impact on older filers? Please post your thoughts. Thanks Elnegro Here is the quote: "At the...

It is just that ! Speculation ! I cannot believe that they could place a statement like they did based only in 2 cases and a response given by the Customer Service Center ! Probably most of us had the lousy experience of interacting with the Cust. Serv. Center. We all got confusing and...

This is the list of approvals of 140s for July. I assume most of them are concurrent. I DO NOT UNDERSTAND WHY NONE OF THEM made de list of 485 approvals. If Ohata memo is in place (as we've seen with Octfiler), WHY IT IS NOT GETTING THE 485s APPROVED FOR THESE APPLICANTS ???? Elnegro...

Hi all, I am starting this thread because I think it is important to track changes on LUD as they are showing movement on the cases/approvals. OctFiler got the EAD LUD updated and then 140 got approved. Then he got the 140 LUD updated THREE TIMES and then immediately after the 485 got...

This might be good news for new filers on the short run ,but if USCIS does not catch up and reduce the backlog for 485's, there are MANY MANY more cases on the pipeline. These cases will flood the USCIS Centers. July 20, 2004 the U.S. Department of Labor issued an advance copy of the...

Time to process RFE For AP. Please share experiences I had to respond to a RFE for AP. I've sent the response last week (the online status showed received 8 days ago). Do you guys have any idea how much time this could take to get approved? Any similar experiences? Thanks Elnegro
