    Yes Hello, gc21. I received the second FP notice on April 5, less than a week after I did the FP on the first FP notice. I ignored the second FP notice and didn\'t do FP. Then, I received the third FP notice on Aug 3. I was concerned. Even though it was a regular FP notice, I did the FP on...

    Of course Hello, Ciba. After visiting this site so many times, it has become a habit to come to this site whenever I log onto the web. Every time I open MS IE or Netscape, my fingers type the URL of this site. I guess it is the effect of implicit memory - what I learned in grad school but...

    RFE cases, is it possible dependant\'s case get approved before primary\'s?

    No The approval of the primary applicant\'s 485 is the condition for approval of dependent 485 cases, less INS makes a mistake. However, the reverse is true. Dependent cases may be pending for RFE, even if the primary applicant\'s 485 is approved. Michael

    Help -Name correction

    Why use such a lousy lawyer? Why do you stay with this lousy lawyer after s/he has made such mistakes? Actually, there would have been fewer errors had you filed your own INS papers. I have seen so many careless lawyers\' errors reported on this board. If you are using lawyers, only choose...

    Re-Submitted I485 papers ...anybody in similar situation ?

    Your lawyer is equally to blame Your lawyer doesn\'t appear to be good either. Even though the check was cast in the wrong amount by the accounting dept, your lawyer should have caught it when the final submission package was verified or when the submission package was photocopied for file.
