My fingerprints were rejected - obtaining police clearance from different states Hi, Has anyone had to request the 5 year police clearances from 2 different states? I lived in Illinois and New York in the last 5 years - do I need to fax or mail them a form to fill out? How does this work...

Do you have an attorney? My suggestion is to find one in your area - set up a consultation with them. Definitely worth it, since your case sounds complicated. If you don't get satisfactory results with an attorney making enquiries, then have your wife contact the local Senator's office on...

This sounds very similar to my case. After the interview, we had been approved, passport stamp etc, but nothing happened after that. Also, at that time, my online account had no updates at all (since last August). We needed to make an infopass appointment to straighten things out. We were...

Thankyou!! I am still floating on air - feels good to be a permanent resident at last!!

Okay - here's an update. Got 2 e-mails saying case approved and welcome message sent, green card ordered! So evidently, the file is transferred from the DO to Missouri for processing the actual green card. Hope this is helpful to everyone. Until this happened, I thought this transfer...

Now I am so scared! I read somewhere that MSC keeps these files for scheduling - scheduling what?? I don't know what's going on. Our case was filed August 2005, but kept being sent to different offices, with multiple admin errors made along the way. We filed everything right. Even our...

Well, at least you all don't seem to have the delays I'm having. Yes, the green cards come from Missouri. All I got after my interview and approval, after 2 months delay because the IO didn't complete a computer step, was that my I-485 and I-130 were transferred from the DO to MSC for...

I think this is good news....? Had my interview 5th December at Chicago DO, marriage based. Approved and passport stamped. BUT- no green card appeared in the mail. Had infopass beginning of Feb, and found out the IO forgot to finish a final AOS step on the computer, so no card was...

Don't know if this is relevant to your situation, but I had my AOS interview at the beginning of December 2006. Everything went well, and I was approved, 2 months stamp placed in passport. BUT.... no green card or welcome letter appeared. Well, my hubby and I went to infopass a couple of...

That's exactly what happened to me - delayed both applications for over 6 months - gridlock! We had to use the Senator to help move things along. From my experience (although everyone's situation is different), just be a little cautious if filing 2 AOS applications. As you say, it's possible...

Same here. My online status for I-130, and I-485 hasn't been updated since August 06! No changes even though I had the interview and was approved at beginning of December. According to my attorney, sometimes the online information is not updaed very regularly, and can only be used as a...

Congratulations! Enjoy... You are lucky - I had my interview 6 weeks ago, was approved, passport stamped for 2 months validity - but - still no notice, online updates, or green card. Hope they didn't lose my file or something...

Simple answer Yes, it can... It may slow processing of both applications down a bit. It is perfectly legal to do both though, but processing of one application can affect the other. It's a risk. Anyone else have experience with this situation??

In the same boat.. Had my interview on Dec 5th - all went well, approved and passport stamped on the day of the interview for 2 months validity, but no updates, green card or welcome letter since then. I think the delays are probably because of the holiday season.

Hi everyone, Had my marriage based interview in Chicago DO on 5th Dec. Everything went fine, and we were approved. Unfortunately, we didn't receive anything at all from USCIS - no e-mails, welcome letter, GC. My attorney is going to make an infopass if we don't get anything in the next...

I was in a similar situation... It IS legal to do both routes concurrently - USCIS just approves one and denies the other, depending on which one is processed first (depends on their backlogs for EB vs family-based at the time). This allows you to "hedge your bets" on the notoriously variable...

still waiting also... I had my interview on Dec 5th, Chicago DO, family based. I was approved and the officer said around 2-3 weeks for the green card to arrive. Well, as of today (28th Dec) - I didn't receive anything - no e-mail updates, no letter, no card. My attorney told me the Xmas...

To Jessica-tdm Don't worry - my DO is Chicago also. Interview (marriage to USC) 5th Dec, approved. No LUDs, or anything by mail as of 20th December. My attorney told me it can take up to 4 weeks for the card to arrive, especially around the holiday season.

Well done!! I knew you'd be OK!! Hope you're celebrating tonight...

Good luck - you will be fine We just had our interview (family based) in Chicago last week - approved!! It only took about 15 minutes, the officer was very nice. You have plenty of joint stuff and are well prepared, so don't worry (easier said than done, I know!). As long as you can...
