mrsr,
Sorry to hear about your CC returned packet.
I'm not sure what column you're referring to, but the field that says country of chargeability should be whatever country you're charging the visa to.
Now, if you send the packet back, ensure that it is addressed to the "MAILROOM SUPERVISOR" with "ATTN: IMPROPERLY REJECTED APPLICATION".
That would make it bypass the mailroom contractors and get it to someone who knows CC, the supervisor in this instance.
Also search for WellWisher's post ye back in this forum for his packet preparation guidelines. Not sure what the number is off the top of my head.

Finally EAD Approved

My EAD and wife's got approved yday :cool: . Just checked the website today. Now I got a situation here. My H1b expires early next week and I am yet to recieve the physical EAD. Is it essential to file my H1b extension in this scenario? Also pl advise if my wife has to file for H-4 extension? thanks guys
 
Theoretical Question

I know what happens if derivative's name check gets cleared but primary's is stuck (ala what happened to ks) - you have to wait for both to clear in order to proceed.

But what happens if primary's name check clears and the derivative's is stuck - does primary's GC case proceed (to approval) or does it also get stuck waiting for the other name check to clear ?

Hi Prez,
In the latter instance, they adjudicate the primary's AOS application, thereby making the primary a permanent resident, whereas the spouse whose name check is outstanding stays on as an AOS Applicant, pending approval until the name check clears. There have been several instances of this through the entire forum, with some individuals do not get their derivative approval for anywhere from 3 months to 2 years after their own approvals. Pretty ridiculous.

Hi overboard,
Fingerprints have a validity of 15 months. I don't believe you're at the 15 month point yet, are you? I think I might be the "oldest" amongst us and my first FPs were done on April 23 2006, and are valid through the 3rd week of July.
Perhaps your case is ready for adjudication and they requested a fresh set?!

Newbie,
You should have the EAD card physically in hand next week. Since your EAD is approved, you really don't need to file your H extension just to continue working. However, do pay heed to the fact that a lot of folks file their H1 extensions and having their H1s serve as an insurance policy, kind of a backup legal status, just in case something goes astray with the AOS applications. So I'd advise that if you have the coin to drop on the H1, do it, but its an individuals decision.
I remember BrittanySpears got her GC approved a few DAYS after she shelled out for H1B extension...
About your wife...she got her EAD too, right? If she did, then I think you're ok if you just file H1 for yourself...check with the attorney on that front. My personal case, we just didn't bother doing that for my wife. She's been working on her EAD, BUT, then again, she never held H4 status, always had her own H1.
 
The Magic Number

Well, my Senator's office called TSC on my behalf yesterday. TSC confirmed that they received my FBI Name Check results and all is looking good, but, quote, they just cannot process our applications right now because they've got several applications and are very busy, end quote.
They asked the Senators office to call back after a period of...surprise...90 days...if we've not heard anything. This was the same number given back in March when they transferred the cases from the VSC to the TSC.
So, as I discussed with the Senator's office, they've essentially asked for 180 days post transfer. Considering the fact that my case had been pending for 14 months, which is 8 months over their processing time for AOS, asking for another 180 days is just overwhelmingly not cool.
Anyway. W-H-A-T-E-V-A-H.

Just when you thought it will be smooth sailing from here on, in comes the good ol bureaucracy. Wonder who comes up with the reasons for delays.
Look at the bright side ks_cc. Both you and your spouse have your name check cleared, so all you need to do is wait. You will get approval soon.
Its heartening to kow that the Senators office take interest in such cases and call the processing centers..wonder if its true only in NH...
 
ks hang in there, like huizet said, at least your name check is clear, USCIS can't blame FBI for the delay anymore and hold it up. I think you will have your GC before the summer is over personally.
 
I just called NSC today and the IO was saying that my case is waiting to be assigned to an officer. My NC is pending and I did get a letter from USCIS dated 5/25 saying my application is pending due to background check. I called USCIS sometime in June 1st week and IO was saying that mine was pending for NC.

But today she was telling me that it is not in the shelf that generally be in pending security check and has been moved to waiting for assigning to officer on 5/29/07. I am confused and I was not sure what is happening. Does any one had this kind of experience and suggest me what I could read from this?

FYI, I wrote to FL/VP/President/OMB/congress[wo]men/Nancy Pelosi etc. I got forwarded reply from VP and OMB through USCIS that my case is pending for NC. No reply from FBI for my letter to FL though (wrote sometime in 2nd week of April).

Thanks! in advance..
