Concurrent Filing - Using Cross Chargeability

ks_cc, I am sure your approval is around the corner monday or tuesday
similiar thing happened with my wife's case..
 
Saw LUDs on AP and I140 today. These were approved a while back (see signature). No LUDs on I485. This may be nothing. Any one with similar exp?

I got an LUD on 08/05/07 on mine and my wife's AP (which was approved way back in January). However, there was no status check on either of our applications. This is the first LUD in close to 7 months!.

Could it be something significant or just a runaway batch process :rolleyes:
 
Anyone know what this means?

Same just happened to me. My AP and 140 were approved in April and June respectively, and no LUDs since the approval, but now there are LUDs on those as of yesterday. Why would anyone be touching those? 485 and EAD did not get LUDs. Any ideas what is going on?

Thanks
 
Reason for LUDs

Hey guys,
Just heard from the congresswoman's office that the reason for my LUDs, according to TSC is that they're issuing an RFE for my wife. Don't know what for, but thats the reason. They haven't issued the second FPs yet.

My guess is, it was a system glitch since bunch of ppl are reporting the same thing on the 485 threads.
 
Received physical card

Guys,
Received my card on Friday, exactly 1 week after the approval. Got the Welcome letter on Saturday. But, there is no LUD or status change for my spouse, still pending.

Hello,
This is my first post on this thread it is an awesome place to learn about CC among other things, thanks to the person who started this thread.
I have a question I really hope some one knows the answer:
I am from India(Born N Raised) on an H1, wife from Canada(Born N Raised) on J1.
I have my labor approved, but the problem is that my lawyer passed away and there is no 1 in his corporation that does Immigration except for the paralegals. As far as laws, the paralegal know nothing about J1 or Cross Chargeability. I cannot get a lawyer a week before the deadline of Aug 16, so my dilemma is that I have to work with a non immigration lawyer to file my paper work.
I would like to know if anyone has every dealth with J1 + CC and how to go about it.
Also does anyone know about the ""exact rule/section" that states that the Primary applicant can use CC using the dependants citizenship. (Me Indian using my Wife’s Canadian visa number)
Also is there a formal application that requests the Immigration service center to process the application using CC.
What are the effects of a application using CC on a J1(my wife’s visa).

Thank you guys I hope some one has an answer.
 
ks..

I remember u went through an address change.. Anything special to be taken care of besides calling the customer service and the AR11?

You can change the address for all your 485s(self, spouse, children) online and then it will automatically bring up the AR11 form. Fill that and submit that also. Take a printout of the AR11 and send(Mail) it to the address that appears on it.

You can call in also to do the address change on ur 485s. They will send u an ack of address changes via mail.

Hi ks_cc,

Please dont be surprised if the RFE is about FP missing as it has expired for ur wife. This situation might be true for u also, because of ur enquiries thru congresswoman, they might have initiated a separate "proc" for u that is
on the verge of sending out the second FP notice to u, thus no RFE for u.

Strange are thy ways of ..................

Iam ruling out TB Skin test NOID as u said u did that while filing ur I-693 filing unlike most of us in 2006. Iam assuming ur wife also had hers done.

As long as your spouse is present in the country on a valid status, the actual class of admission does not matter. I think the exceptions might be a B class tourist visa. Even if she weren't present in the country, you could always pursue Consular Processing. You're pretty much well covered in that regard as far as her J1 status goes.
There is a section of the Immigration Naturalization Act that refers to CC, but I don't think you need to prove anything to your company paralegals. If they're hesistant to follow this, the AOS is your application, and nothing precludes you from having your 140 filed through them and hiring a different firm to follow your AOS...heck you could even do it yourself.
As far as document formats go, I believe WellWisher set the trend with this:

Hope this answers your questions. Post if you've got more. Sorry for being rushed, but dealing with a billion things right now, so if you have any specific questions, post and I or anyone else on the forum would be more than happy to respond.

Good luck bud!

Overboard,
Yup...the only thing you need to do is to call Customer Service and ensure that every case thats pending in your portfolio has the updated address...self and spouse I mean. You need a fresh AR-11 for every applicant...so one for you and one for your wife. You can do the AR-11 online or you can mail it in. Expect to see a confirmation receipt in about 30 days and expect your AOS cases to have LUDs without message change to reflect the updated address.

Still, per our conversation, I think you're pretty much out of this rathole bud. And not a moment too soon.

Hey Still
When we did our medicals, my wife was almost ready to pop. The civil surgeon noted her medicals as her having done her TB skin test a few years ago, which she had as part of a physical...I think that was late 90s or early 2000s....
On the other hand, I ran through the whole gamut of getting the skin test and following up with an XRay. So, I'd think that if anything the RFE might be for the skin test.
Its REALLY annoying that they haven't scheduled an FP yet. Wicked frustrating. I dont think they issue RFEs for FPs, but they'd just not adjudicate until the FPs are done. I think NSC differs slightly, where they approve the case, but don't issue the Card Production ordered thing until the FPs are done. Regardless, if the FPs were to have been current, I would expect to be adjudicated while my wife would've been pending until the RFE was resolved.
No LUDs on her case thus far though....my LUDs have changed recently, so I really have NO insight into what's going on with TSC. Just a lot of frustration at this point.

Hey All, ks_cc in particular,

I'd sent in a FOIPA request to the FBI a month ago and received a reply.

"To promptly respond to your requests, we concentrate on identifying main files in the central records system at FBI Headquarters. No records responsive to your FOIPA request were located by a search of the automated indices."

Do you know what this means related to the NNCP name check? Does the 485name check being with a similar search? I mean, if it is, is it valid to question the name check delay if they dont have anyting in their main files?

Thanks,
vik
 
hopefully you will see some 'light' soon...stay tight...

We are all in same boat and its really frustrating to see that people filed even in 2007 are getting approvals. I met with a person from Austria yesterday whose perm was filed in Jan 2007 and he got his GC by Mid jun. can you believe that ? These CIS fu**e#s don't know what they are doing man.

anyway, try ur best to stay calm...

Hi Vik,
No, unfortunately the FOIPA and NNCP aren't related. Here's a blurb on it off the FBI's web site:
Freedom of Information and Privacy Act (FOIPA) vs. Name Check: Freedom of Information and Privacy Acts (FOIPA) requests are sometimes confused with name check requests. FOIPA provides copies of FBI files relevant to a specific FOIPA request. For FOIPA, the FBI search uses the name or information as provided in the FOIPA request. A FOIPA search determines whether there is an investigative file associated with an individual—a “main file” search. For a name check, “main files” and “reference files” are both checked, in addition to searching a name in a multitude of combinations.

However, what you can do is now use this result to send along to whomever you're considering writing to for follow up on the name check..such as first lady, senators etc.

Thanks pururwa. No FP notices yet. I'm just amazed that us as applicants need to beg to be fingerprinted...but hey, its our need right...absolutely ridiculous.
No update on the supposed spouse RFE either. The information obtained by the congresswoman's office was kind of insider info, so perhaps the system hasn't been updated to reflect an RFE generation yet.
