About second FP

I have done some research on internet of how second FP notice is issued. See below for two methods. That's exactly what we have figured out, if your case is not assigned, then it's done by automatic system - which is called national fingerpint scheduler
if your case is under adjudication, then it's the officer request the 2nd fp. there's no way to expedite it.

And also, from the article, we can tell that 30 days after the processing time is considered abnormal and should be able to request expedite, as least I think so. My congressman office told me after 30 days, they can ask for expedite for me.

CSC used to adjudicate cases based on finger print expiration date but now this service has been rescinded.


The CSC has made the decision, in light of competing resources and priorities, to allow the processing time for I-485 applications to increase to approximately 15 months. As a result, the CSC will no longer attempt to adjudicate an I-485 application prior to the expiration of the fingerprints unless the case is beyond normal processing time. A case is beyond normal processing time if the I-485 application was received 30 days prior to the date reflected on Processing Time Report.

As a result of this change in policy, the CSC Liaison Committee will no longer be able to entertain inquiries for I-485 applications with expiring fingerprints unless the case is beyond normal processing times.

At the present time, the CSC is using two methods to identify expired fingerprints and/or fingerprints that will expire prior to the adjudication of the I-485. On an individual case basis, if the adjudicating officer determines that the fingerprints have expired, she is required to order a fingerprint scheduling request. In addition, the CSC is working to identify all I-485 cases with fingerprints that will expire prior to adjudication, and is having fingerprint appointments be scheduled. The CSC suggests that applicants not ignore fingerprint appointments, even if they have been taken in the past, because these appointments are being scheduled to account for the increased processing times of I-485 applications.
 
Is online message changes for Second FP

If BCIS sends the Second FP notice, do they change the online message also, or it will remain same as now that "we received your FP result and processing has resumed"
 
dengdeng,

How do we know whether our case is under adjudicator or not.
I'm a Nov. filer but no rfe, no 2nd FP, no transfer,just no news for last 20 months. Do you think my case is already assigned to the officer?
 
DreamcomeTrue, don't aske me, I can't see the dirty things behind BCIS doors. Have you ever called before 800 number
established? I called in May and got to know my case was assigned.

the only way for you to know now is contacting some useful
senators/congressman, let them ask for you. Or go to local
office, see if you have luck to dig out any information.
 
Hi dengdeng,

I have a question for you, If some one you know in United Nation, Is that can be helpful finding a status or approving your case?

Please advise.
 
dengdeng:

I found it quite amusing to read that you contacted YOUR congressman. Did you vote for that congressman? I wonder how you could have as you don't even have your GC yet?

Another Theory[just mine, based on some observation from this board] is that some cases are being updated online after FP2, while some aren't being updated online after FP2.

Possible Reasons behind this:- I feel
The ones that are being updated online after FP2, are cases that are not Yet assigned to officer, who had been automatically re-scheduled for FP2 as the case is untouched.

The Ones that are not being updated online after FP2, are cases that might have been assigned to officer, and adjudication is around the corner, as soon as FP2 is done[Hence these don't get updated online]. Normally it takes 1-1.5 Mos from FP2 to approval.
Officer has to comeback to these cases at a later day!

Just My thought.
 
dhw, as long as you pay your tax, then you're constituient of your district congressman, they are obliged to help you with government related issues. But that doesn't mean they have the power to expedite your case or let your case approved. That's still in all mighty BCIS hands. They just have a separate line to call and inquire, nothing more. Same apply to Senator.
 
vijayrc,

Hope you are right. I gave my 2 nd FP on 28th may 2003. My RD is 10th Dec 2001. No approval yet. 2nd FP message not updated.. No movement at all....

I dont apply my logic with BCIS working pattern.
