out of country Hi gc circle1 I will be out of US for about 3 weeks. I might not be able to follow up the newsgroup. If you hear anything, can you drop me a line at my_home_address@yahoo.com Someone will be monitoring my US mail here. If I get anything (I have no hopes left), I will let...

No Title It\'s sickening. I have been waiting for 5 1/2 years now. Screwed in every possible way during the process. As for congressman letter (sorry, I was away for the weekend - so did not reply earlier), I simply explained the circumstances, said that it is a unfair treatment to single...

No Title I did write a letter to my local congressman. Let\'s see if anything happens. I have gone to Newark a couple of times. At 6AM, expect to be around 100th in the line. Let me know if you find out anything.

Hi gc circle1: Any news yet on your I485? Did you send an inquiry through your lawyer? I am thinking of approaching a congressman and send an inquiry through their office. What do you think?

No Title Congrats vsctemp. When did Newark receive your file? I was put on hold after the interview - waiting for CIA check. The officer said that they sent for my CIA check, the day they sent my interview notice. So I have to wait 60 days from that point. Did your file already wait more...

No Title Thanks for the response guys. gc circle: yes, we were interviewed on the same date. My 60 days get over on Aug 28th? Are you planning on sending a letter after or before your 60 day period is over? Are you planning on addressing it to the officer or to status inquiry in general...

Hi all: Does anyone know what happens if a person is in India while the 485 is approved here? Can you still come back using advance parole? Is there a fixed date on which you have to go to get your passport stamped? What if I get my passport stamped using approval notice and wife gets her...

No Title Hi vsctemp: I had my interview in Newark on July 26th. We did do medicals again - even though the attorney said they are not required. But my interviewer did ask if I have new medicals. I wonder what he would have said had I answered \'no\'. To be safe, I think you should just...

No Title We did not receive any stamp in our passport (makes me kind of worried - because the officer took our I-94\'s and I have no proof that I went for the interview). The officer said that CIA does not reply back unless there is a problem (you are a terrorist or something). So they...

No Title According to my attorney it is a new procedure that is done for all AOS applicants. Please keep me posted if you hear anything further on your case. Our timings are very similar. I was also told that my file will be on hold till end of august. After that if everything is fine, I...

No Title Never involved with any political organization. To answer another query: I am EB2, India. According to the officer, every case goes to the CIA for check. They have to wait for 60 days after they send it. CIA does not send back anything - unless there is a problem.

Hi All: Had my interview at Newark today. The officer asked the usual, birth/ marriage certificates, who do you work for, new medicals, baby\'s US birth certificate etc. In the end he says that he cannot approve because our files are on CIA hold for 60 days. He has to wait until...

No Title Thanks for your reply. The reason I was worried was because, when INS sends the list, they send only the list of doctors in your local area. And the instructions say - "You will have to choose a doctor from a list you will be given".

Hi All: I have to do my I485 medical again for the interview. INS Newark has sent a list of doctors in New Jersey. When I filed my I485, I had done my medical in Pennsylvania (as I was living there then). Can I get my medical done again at that facility in Pennsylvania (it is easier as...

No Title I will probably go in person to INS next week. I did my first finger print in Philadelphia, and there I could go earlier. I guess - not at Newark. Keep in touch, if you learn anything new.

No Title I have a similar situation. My file was transferred to Newark in May. Today, I received a notice to do FP\'s. I did my Finger prints in Feb of this year and FBI said they were fine. Also, my wife and I are scheduled for different days. If you are successful in going early or...

No Title I moved to NJ, so reported a change of address to Philly. They have transferred my file to Newark. Waiting for response from Newark. Bad move - perhaps. But hindsight is always 20/20. About a month back - things looked really bleak with Philly INS. I am glad that you got your...

Hi all: I tried visiting Newark today for information on my case? I reached there at 5:50 AM and still had about 150 people in line already. Anyone knows from personal experience, what is the best time to reach to be one of the early ones. Also, if I am really far behind, can I take a...

No Title rnemani: Where did you speak to the Immigration officer? Did he say that giving somebody\'s address was sufficient? I spoke to an attorney who said that they might ask for more proof of residence during the interview (leases, utility bills, etc.)? If they discover that you have...

Does anyone has any experience in getting their I485 file transferred from one local INS to another? My details: PD: 4/96, 485 RD/ND: 2/00, Transferred to Philly: 4/01 Moving to another state. Do I just report change of address to local INS? Is there anything that can be done to make...
