Anybody Has This Unique Situation??

Hi mogambo

My Name check is done. FP has to be redone that is what the agent at NSC told me this afternoon since it is more than 15 months. So basically not a very scary situation as I thought about A# problem. I told about the interlinking and she said I should write to them in writing for that.
 
Thats good news, about your name check. But relinking I doubt whether ti can really be done. I had similar replies from them asking me w=to write to them but nothing happenned, so I fell now I wasted 5 months pursuing it. Ultimately filed 2nd 485, where I hav leardy beed FPed. I dont know when can I call them to ask for name check etc. PLease see my case details for EB-1A below and suggest. thanks,

see the posting of good-y. about the same time as yours his 485 got transferred from VSC to TSC and there is a continuous LUDs. He has already sent the interlink request. Looks like interlink request worked ??
 
The moment your A# is corrected, your I-485 gets interlinked automatically. It is just a matter of time magdu will get his I-485 approval.

I disagree to NIw-Nov 04 opinion. So the people who doesn't have A# problem, they don't even need to file for re-linking request. If thats the case then Name Check shouldn't be the problem because your A# is same and NC works by A#.
I think relinking is easier when it is the same center but when you have multiple centers it becomes more messy.

Hi ajasha,

U never know anything can happen behind the screen which we may not know. For example my 485 file got transferred to VSC from NSC last year Sep. 2006 and I was not even notified about the transfer. I did not get any transfer notice from NSC and there is no change in online status. NO LUDs after July 13, 2006. I came to know about this transfer when my attorney called NSC asking about why my spouse file got separated from the primary. When he contacted VSC they said they do not have my 485 file in their system. So what is going on and where my file is? I am in a kind of BLACK hole. But things can be sorted out with lots of effort. Believe me with USCIS we have to have more patience than what we have in our research. I know dealing with them is frustrating. what to do? the discussion can be on and on..... it never ends.

I agree with you totally. I only disagree with the statement that It will be relinked automatically. I know USCIS has messed up lots of people's cases. But expecting that they have the brain that it is same A# so lets relink it, I can't believe. Probably I am more paranoid then I should be. But I have seen more messy situations then miracles at the hands of USCIS.
I am not discouraging you from trying to get it re-linked.
You posted another thread about similar situation- do we know that things improved without taking any big step- WM, or reapplying or appealing. USCIS guys can also read that the name on file and computer are different with same A#, but they don't make an effort to sort out the situation.
I know you will get your GC. But I believe in getting things done and not trying to find where things went wrong and keep things pending.
It is just my opinion.

Hi ajasha,

i do not know the result of the other similar case that I posted. I do not think USCIS will do everything on their own. BUT with our effort we can make them to do the job (sending letters/FAXES periodically)
 
Hi Ajasha,

I've read numerous of ur messages addressed to MADGU where u have always addressed him as MAGDU. Seems u r from India where MAGDU might be a common south-Indian name. Just a friendly correction that requires your attention. ;)

HI mogambo1

I did not even notice that error. You are a good editor :)

By the way did you withdraw your 485 filed with EB-2NIW? How far your interlinking has come?

Good luck
 
I have not withdrawn my NIW based 485 yet. Nor do I plan to do it unless they send me an RFE asking which one to process (if they r dumb enough to ask that). As I had mentioned several times I wasted 5 months writing 4 letters & making 4-5 calls, placing 2 enquiries with no result with USCIS and every time attaching Pearon's Memo and highlighting it. But nothing worked, so I really felt that I wasted my 5 months and should have rather filed my 2nd 485 way back in Sept 2006, when my EB-1A got approved, then by now I would have been very near getting my GC, as now the processing time for 485 is 6 months behind todays date.

As I had medntioned sevral times I wasted 5 months writiign 4 letters and making 4-5 calls to USCIS and verytime attaching Pearons memo and highlighting it. BUt nothing worked so I felt that I really wasted my 5moths and should have rather not done this and should have rather filed my 2ns 485 way back in spet 2006 when my EB-1A got approved then I would have been near getting GC as not the processing time for 485 is 6months behind todays date.

I do not think USCIS will ask you which one to process. I understand what you are saying. do you know whether your NC is done or not for the pending EB-2 485. I guess had you been cleared you should have got your GC or very close.
 
I dont know and when I asked a baffoon INS Officer during my INfopass appointment for my 485 for NIW he told me that he does not know that. My reapeated request for interlinking lead INS to reply on paper saying that I should not contact this office as they are no visa numers available in this category and thei are closely monitoring the situation. This means nothing. On the other hand it may mean 2 things:
1. Maybe some lazy but little smart Im Off gave me this reply so that I stop bothering him with my reapeatd interfiling requests. SO that I stop writting them with my request for interfiling.
2. Maybe my name check ect is all cleared fro my NIW 485 and they are really waiting for visas to become avaiable in NIW India.

I doubt the 2nd be the case. I can fully trust USCIS tricks to avoid work. This all I know. My 2nd 485 has progressed so far that my FOP was done and FP results were confimed to be sent by fbi to USCIS same day. Other than this my spouse is getting lot of LUDs after her NIW based derivative 485 got transferred from VSC to TSC. The last LUd was 4/3/2007 before that maybe 4 more luds, whie in my NIW 485 there is onyl one LUD. Thism emay mean maybe mind you MAY BE interlinking might be working in her case, since she got a unique name so maybe her NC would have been cleared so maybe they are processing her case. BUT NO ONE KNOWSa s several people experience several LUS after transfer then everything stopped. I would believe that interfiling really worked if she gets her GC. But I doubt wherther she will since she is my derivative beneficiary and I wonder if she can get GC before my case gets approved. Is it possible ????

USCIS cannot avoid you. How many interlinking request you sent so far after you got your EB-1EA approval? YOu keep sending every week one FAX and Express mail to TSC now on. Simultaneously you call TSC and ask about whether you NC is done or not. U may not the answer in one go. I remember when I asked VSC guys last year the officer said they cannot tell anything about the background check. But last month when I called NSC I got a very pleasing women at the other end and she told me that my NC is done. I did not push her too much to tell about the date of clearance. within couple of days again I called NSC and asked the same question about NC. The officer said the NC is completed and FP has to be redone.

Anothing thing I learnt from my attorney is that before the primary gets approved the derivative case cannot be approved (GC). When my spouse was getting LUDs in pending 485 (filed with EB-2) continuously 4 days starting the day my EB-1EA I-140 approval notice was sent from TSC. Again LUD from March 13, 14, 15. So can I say now that USCIS has interlinked my case with my spouse. I DO NOT KNOW. Anything can happen with USCIS.
 
No fun in interlinking now, or else I will be further spoiling my EB-1A based I-485. I think if I keep on sending interlinking requests now they are bound to get confused. Before I had filed my 2nd I-485 it was okay to pursue it, but not now. Now all I can do is to keep on bothering them to process my 2nd 485 based on EB-1A. That too I cannot do now, as it is not yet past processing date.
