Consolidated NSC I-485 Tracker

HI,

which country are you from and when was your NC cleared and did you take any infopass /service request?

thanks

India. I have no idea when my NC got cleared. I know that I was stuck in March when I went for the interview. I couldn't submit a service request until 90 days after March and I got this mail yesterday.
 
Dear Friends,
I got RFE regarding the medical check up (Skin Test). I have submitted the RFE response. Just curious to know if anyone on the same situation and got approval.
My Priority Date: Aug 30 2001

Sorry, could not answer your question, just got email about RFE for all our cases. How long did it take to get actual RFE in mail? Also was it only for skin test or something else too?

Good luck!
 
Ombudsman 2007 report is out

I would like to say THANKS! to the Ombudsman - they've released lots of interesting data in this year's report. I just started reading - http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/CISOMB_Annual Report_2007.pdf

A couple of weeks ago I sent them an email talking about namecheck problems, USCIS backlog redefinition creating space of comfort where FBI and USCIS are not held accountable and only asking to raise the visibility of this issue and provide detailed numbers. Big Thanks they heard me and others who made similar requests. The stats are very grim, USCIS is likely to respond with some nonsense like last year, but stats now do exist and they are official!

Total excluded from "backlog" count - 1.3M
Retrogressed - 870K
In FBI - 300K
In RFE - 122K

~110,000 people waiting for FBI for more than 1 year...

The report is really great, provide great detail about agency effiency.

Can you belive they have onley 29 303 cases pending waiting for visa availablity, check page number 32.

USCIS wasted 88 432 and 47307 visa number in 2003 and 2004, just because they are efficient. :mad:

EB2/EB3 is current for all countries for July.

Wonderful :( No all those of us who have patiently waited thro LC and Namcheck fiasco can now face the prospect ohf having someone who strted PERM last wek toi get their GC in September, whiile we keep waiting.

CIS must be hungry for fees...

Thank god for the numerical country limits.
 
All,

My GC application has been finally approved. It took slighly above 5 years from end-to-end, but wait is over. Thanks to this community for support. Below are my details and I hope it helps others to see light at the end of tunnel.

RFE#1 - Wife: Birth Certificate. Original BC didn't have her name. Submitted affidavits from Aunt and Uncle to support BC. Affidavits were on Rs. 20 stamp paper and notarized.

RFE#1 - Self: TB Skin Test. Civil Surgeon forgot to mention TB skin test on the first medical form, so did another skin test and submitted new medical certificate. Didn't do any other new test, although some recommended doing all of the things all over again.

RFE#2 - Self: TB Skin Test. USCIS misplaced/didn't receive new medical form. Submitted another medical form with previous (second skin test) results. Didn't do any other new test, although some recommended doing blood tests again as first medical form was almost a year old.


I hope that was helpful. Good luck to all.
 
RFE response time

Dear Friends,
I got RFE regarding the medical check up (Skin Test). I have submitted the RFE response. Just curious to know if anyone on the same situation and got approval.
My Priority Date: Aug 30 2001

I-140 approved sometime in 2004
I-485 pending since then

thanks

I got second RFE 4 weeks later as USCIS missed my new medical form from RFE#1. However, I got my final approval two weeks after RFE#2 on the same. That lucky day was today (6/13).
 
what did they ask in the interview?

India. I have no idea when my NC got cleared. I know that I was stuck in March when I went for the interview. I couldn't submit a service request until 90 days after March and I got this mail yesterday.


Maverick, I am also EB2, filed from MD, and from India. My question is that when you were called for the 485 stage interview, were you in the name check quicksand?What did they ask you in the interview?Since you mentioned that you were stuck. My 485 RD is July 27,06 and the only LUD was on 1/3/07. Nothing after that. I went for Infopass and the lady told me that FBI has still to complete the namecheck.http://boards.immigration.com/images/smilies/mad.gif
:mad: I told her that I have security clearance from a Federal organization, so why is it taking so long for the check since all these checks were already completed when I had the security clearance( otherwise they would not have let me work on the Fed's project)http://boards.immigration.com/images/smilies/confused.gif
:confused:. She had no answer to that!!

Anyways, congrats on the new found freedom and now you can hope( and negotiate) for better job and salary!
 
Faster green cards derimental to some employers

.......

The moment employee gets GC his/her attitude changes. The one who was obediently serving the employer for ( say 5 years ) without major promotion/salary hike, suddenly starts bargaining. How dare you , Mr. employee ?
 
Cases transferred from CSC to NSC will get...

I just read in another FORUM that NSC is processing based on RD date of I-485 when the case was moved to NSC.

Since many cases were transferred from CSC to NSC earlier this year, my interpretation is that NSC will process all other applications filed with them till 2006 Dec before picking up any transferred cases even irrespective of the original RD date of this transferred cases.

This doesn't sound right and will be bad for lot of us.

Did we see any transferred case approved so far in NSC ?
 
The Visa Bulletin does not seem correct....how can everything all of a sudden become current....its gotta to be some kind of an error....

USCIS will come back and take the dates back in a few days...without obviously any reason.

Its no error. Anyone with a PERM can now file I-140/I-485 and get in line, maybe even jump past you and me.
 
RFE-485-USCIS received my response to the request for evidence(RFE).

Hi,
Do you have an idea when my 485 will get approved once response of RFE reached.I got an email notification from USCIS on jan 7th 2007.
