[DSLstart]

Congrats dude!
When you say your name check was cleared within couple of days, was it because of LUDs after FPs or the IO told you about it?

They did name checkk twice for me... once in December 2004 and again in April 2007. On both these occasions it was cleared within couple of days

Hi Sara_Noname

Here's what I did ever since our PD got current.

1. Called NSC and opened a Service Request --> No Outcome

2. Called TSC and opened a Service Request (Surprisingly someone at TSC did actually do that) --> Nothing ever came out of it.

3. My wife called NSC and opened a Service Request --> No Outcome

4. Called NSC and opened a second Service Request --> I was told at Infopass that TSC responded by mail. Infopass IO gave me a printout which said "Processing actively - Additional review required". Never got that response in the mail though.

5. Went for 2 Infopass visits. During first visit came to know that NC cleared twice, once in Dec 04 and then in Apr 07.

6. Wrote to the local congressman through writerep (http://www.house.gov/writerep/). Got a response on the same day that they will follow up with Texas. I called the congressman's office 4 week later and was told to wait for another 4.

7. Complained about case problem to USCIS Ombudsman (http://www.dhs.gov/ximgtn/programs/editorial_0497.shtm).

8. Called TSC IOs directly using POJ, few times I was told by a sympathetic IO that they will email the Supervisor about my case.
Lastly today, I asked my Attorney to call USCIS, here's what she wrote...

Hi XXXX,
Yes, I'm sorry that I didn't have a chance to email you earlier. I spoke
with the NCSC earlier today and she informed me that you should be
receiving your cards within 3 weeks. I'd also expect to receive the
original approvals within 3-5 business days. As soon as I do, I will
contact you. In the meantime, please be sure that if you do not know
your mail carrier, that your names are visible on your mailbox.
And of course, lastly, congratulations!
Regards,
XXX

MA Labor, Pray for all of us here...WE NEED THIS DESPERATELY...
BTW, I was in MA from 2000 to 2006 and at least on that ground my GC should be approved (looking at the trend of MA approvals!)

Hey, I've been working in MA since 2000, and still no luck!

Congrats, MA_Labor!
