Anybody Has This Unique Situation??

[madgu-gc2005]

Madgu since your are now trying to opt the same way I chose a few months ago so you would require a copy of Pearsons Memo which I keep on referring again and again and is solution to all this priority dates tranafer and linking issue. I would suggest you while submitting your request for linking your MUST attach and highlight paragraphs in it which clearly suggest that this kind of linking is spossible. I would therefore suggest you to serach for my posts where I had posted a copy of Micheal A, Pearson's Memo or ask your lawyer to attach it along wiht your linking request. Let me know if this works for your since it did not work for me although the memo clearly states that it is possible. And lastly all the best. I was unlucky hope you are

Thanks Mogambo. today I got the pearson memo and I have not read yet but I remember little bit about interlinking. Yes I will ask my attorney to attach this memo alongwith the letter that he sends. I will post the outcome certainly whether it works or not for me.

 

[madgu-gc2005]

A tiny good news. I got FP notice for my second I-485 filed on 22nd Feb 2007. Also a letter from USCIS a few days ago that they were waiting for visa to becone available for my earlier I-485 filed with NIW so I believe I was all done with NC etc so I belive may be in my I-485 I get everything done faster. Wish me luck. Thanks,

I wish you good luck. One more question when you filed new 485 did you write your old A# (that you got from the I-140 approval EB-2NIW) in the petition?

Do you have any idea about the email id of NSC like the one we have for CSC (CSC-XII.485@dhs.gov)?

 

[mogambo1]

I have only one A# in all my Immigration fomrs since I got my J-1 waiver letter, then I-140 NIW approval and now on I-140 EB-1A.

And yes I did write my A# next to my name below signature in each of my letters for linking.

Sorry I dont have e-mail address for TSC. I believe sending e-mail or fax or tel call does not work. Atleast never worked for me, they always asked for all request to be made in writting, so I always used Certified Priority Mail for all my communictaion with USCIS. Till now worked good for me and is cheaper than FEDEX although little problem with its online status which keeps on showing ITEM ACCEPTED at xxx, xxx at xxx time. And then suddenly after 2-3 days shows delivered, no intermediate status like private carriers. But works.

A# doesn't change even if you 485 is denied. It is assigned to you and will be yours. I withdrew my 140 as well as 485 from NSC. After approval of new 140 from TSC I reapplied. A3 remained same.

I did not understand your first sentence ".... since I got my J-1 waiver letter". Did you do medical again when refiled your 485 (or you sent the copy of I-693 medical) since you used the same A#

There is no A# in J-1 waiver letter. am I saying correctly? By the way thanks for your useful suggestions.

So your NC process will start all over again. Am I correct? suppose 485 is denied then how that A# will be belonging to that particular person?

 

[mogambo1]

I did everything again, including medical, since the earlier one was dated sometime in 2005 and medical only works good for I guess 12months. So paid again ($325+70) x 2 applications and additional cost of medical x 2 applications (I-693) for me and my spouse. A# never changes once it is assigned to you, in your case USCIS screwed up everything tthat why you see so many A# on different forms. Yes on thing I noticed that in one interm or temporary EAD for my wife had different A# but whenver she got proper EAD it had same A#.

If I am not wrong the letter you get from servuce center which states your waiver etc has a number on top right hand side which they dont metion as A# but it is actually A#. I dont know for now as I got my waiver sometime back in 2000. IN those days there were form IAP-66 which is now changed to DSXX, I think.

Your are welcome, if my SO CALLED DISCOURAGING REPLIES as metioned by """"someone""""" in this thread can be of any use to you.

Hi EB10182006

In my I612 there is no column where A# is written. I got my waiver in 2004. The approval notice I got from DHS, USCIS says only receipt number, receipt date, case type and applicant. when did you get your waiver?

 

[EB10182006]

Hi madgu-gc2005

I got my waiver from INS vermont service center some time in the end of 2002. (not from DHS).

[madgu-gc2005]

Hello bro,

See this thread with my details

http://immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=243548

Last year July 2006 my NIW case was transferred from VSC to NSC and now VSC has recalled my spouse case to VSC. I do not know the reason why?

 

[mogambo1]

Well as per general consensus now they are transferring all cases from VSC to TSC. Maybe they are stopping Immigration cases at VSC.... and maybe that center would be devoted to only non-immigrant petitions.

Well I too know that NSC and TSC are going to process all GC process. My spouse case is kind of strange to me. I have to wait to see how the transfer notice is worded.
