waitingTSC1,
It would be great if you could give us your filing details. I am maintaining a spread sheet to track the status of RFE cases. I will put your information on there.
For the rest of the guys. I think for EB1 and EB2 cases with RFEs, TSC is strictly following RD/ND of the case and for EB3 they are strictly following both PD and RD/ND. Cases without RFEs are not being held up because of their RD/ND. This is the only logical explaination for so many 04 and even some 05 filers getting approved of late while cases with RFEs with earlier RD/NDs are still held up.
There was a belief that getting an RFE was a good thing. I think this is not the case this year. RFEs are leading to huge delays.

I think you are right. At least I'm holding to your theory in order to have some logical explanation for this uncertainty. I'll guess I have to wait unti processing time gets end July/03 and PD end of June/02 Although I'm not affected by retrogression.
Thanks for your always helpful inputs.

My details are as follows-
I-485 RD 07/05/02
FP 01/08/04
Contacted congressman's office and in a few weeks received RFE on 04/29/2005.
RFE Received 05/10/2005. Only one LUD on 05/11/2005.
Got FP notice last week and again scheduled for 07/01/2005. No change on status and LUD is still 05/11 and message is the usual one...received evidence on May 10th and it is taking 850 to 900 days....etc.
I am also a PR of Canada and if I don't hear anything soon, I am seriously going to move to Canada.
The wait is awful, lost my father during this time and he passed away without knowing my green card status. And he so looked forward to me getting it.
I am very happy for recent filers getting approved, but what about filers like me. Seriously unfair and I am not even affected by retrogession.

Sorry to hear it about ur father, We all are in same ship, waiting, and suffering, and trust me u are not alone, here ppl make fun,cheer,and they have smile on face doesn't mean they are happy, what they are going through, only they know and God know that, On this difficult journey of GC the cost we pay is very high, we all und that the time will never come back, and things will never be same again. but we have limit choice.
I believe its your father's wish too for u to get G.C. and his soul would be very happy to see that u got ur G.C.
We all und that u waiting since very long, but it seems that ur case is very near to decide. so accept it as God's wish that there would be some reason your father is not with you. but u still (I belive) have lovely family to carry on your journey with. On this last moment DON'T GIVEUP, Stay in U.S wait little more. and see what happen.
Never get disappointed from God, If God has chosen/written G.C for u in luck, it would come on right time for u. and noone can stop it. there would be some good reason in ur favor for delay. If you don't see the way He (God) will make the way for u. all u need is, Trust on him, Practice ur faith, make ur faith unshakeable and leave everything on him. you would see how he make way for u.
Be Brave, Be bold, up-ur chin, and face the real world.
(this sentence I am not saying for sympthy, as man we have to stand and face difficulties, hey btw I am Prince
)We all pray for your quick approval.
Remember -----------
If God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
In Happy moments, praise God.
In Difficult moments, seek God.
In Quiet moments, worship God.
In Painful moments, trust God.
In Every moment, thank God
-------------------------------------------
Good Luck friend.

I really understand your suffering. My beloved grandmother (back home) prays for me every single day so I get green card soon. She is very ill, regardless, she keeps on praying for me. It would break my heart if she goes before I'm approved, because as you said, I wont be able to share joy with her.
But as the beautiful words of Princeofjungle said, we need to keep the faith and trust God. There's nothing else we can do. I share your anxiety and really beleive TSC has been very unfair with your case. On the other hand, I think you might get approved soon, not because of RFE but for 2FPs. I think you might get approved very soon after you get them done.
God Bless you and Good Luck!

RFE cases pending for months
Guys,
I am getting the feeling that people like us who have not been approved even after months of replying to an RFE have our name checks pending or some such hold up.
Today I sent emails to the FBI requesting them to confirm whether mine and my wifes name check has been completed. People say that its takes about three months for them to get back with results. My thinking is that if there is some problem with the name check then its better to start now rather than find out 6 months from now. I might be wrong but at this point I am trying to do everything I can to find out the reason for the delay.
regards,
saras

What you said about contacting FBI made me call USCIS and ask them about my 2 FPs (3 months and never got message change for that) after long wait the lady that answered did not know what name check meant?????
Since I really don't know much about that either I just said to her, well isn't FPs and name cleared or investigated at same time? She just changed the subject and told me that messages changes on status on line changed every 2 months...Then I said Mine changed because of RFE Akw and it's been 45 days now. She said I had to wait until 60 days...to ask about that.
So I insisted again on how can I verify that my Fps were received and cleared? She just answered that some kind of notification would have reach me if something were needed.
So I beleive it was a waist of time to call. Can you shed me some light about the name check thing?
thanks!

Great News ..
GC031502 and aig,
Congratulations on your approvals. Glad that you are now part of the approved portion of our sheet. Enjoy the freedom.
mvusa, you are right. This gives me some hope for our cases. June has been very active and there is still a while to go. Lets hope our luck changes this month. Also, I will let you know in detail the procedure for the FBI namecheck follow up on Monday.
I am attaching the updated sheet.
cheers,

Name check details
saras76 and mvusa, another member in this forum (I forgot the name)prepared a detailed description of the name check procedure, and provided that in pdf format. I happened to save those files on my hard drive. If you guys are interested, shoot me an email to hrashid@bcdcog.com
I have emailed FBI to confirm my name check on this January, still no response........
BTW, 55 days have passed since my RFE acknowledgement. Can you officially raise an inquiry after 60 days?

Message for mvusa
mvusa,
Here is the link to the thread that has some very useful information on FBI namecheck.
http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=136848&highlight=rahul+kumar
It also details the ways to make an inquiry. I am hoping that our names are not stuck in some FBI check but I am going ahead and starting the process of finding out. I am just being proactive here. Maybe our cases will get approved even before we find out anything from the FBI. In case they don't then we will know if its the FBI holing us up or something else.
cheers,

Inquiry after 60 days
forever485,
It has officially been over 60 days since the RFE acknowledgement on my wifes 485 application. She called last week to find out the status (start an inquiry), the person on the phone informed her that in usual cases an inquiry can be filed after 60 days of RFE ack but since her RD/ND is in March 2004 and the official processing date for 485s is still May 03, she will have to wait till the official date crosses our filing date.
What a ridiculous excuse? If they are strictly adhering to the official processing date (THEY ARE OBVIOUSLY NOT), why did they issue an RFE so early then .. ????
I knew that they would use the "official processing date" excuse against us. I believe you will get the same response when you call but there is no harm in trying. Maybe you will learn something new. Each time someone calls the GREAT TSC, one learns more ridiculous things.
Can't wait for this nightmare to end ...
cheers,
saras

I read your experience in calling TSC. It's usually a waist of time... But alt least neither of us got a weird answer, like something worng with the case or delays etc... We just got blah,blah,blah!
Anyway, let's keep our chins high an expect the best to come soon.
