It is indeed abuse. They are asking for my all my IAP-66 for J-1 visas. My first one was 15 years ago. Do they really believe people keep those documents that long? Are there any legal requirement for us to keep them when we actually submit a copy of it to the INS agent at the airport?
I contacted everyone, from Homeland Security to State Department and my previous sponsors. They are all saying that nobody keeps those things around that long. ... They got to be on something at NSC ....
Any one from INDIA EB2 seen any updates to their cases after the new memo regarding FBI name check since visa is currently unavailable. My priority date is June 2002 and I-485 received date is Nov 3, 2006 and been stuck in name check.
Thanks.
Get the "Card Ordered" e-mail this morning.
No update last night. Very surprised to see four e-mail from USCIS in the inbox.
My application has been pending since Jan 2007. My PD just get current in March.

I promise to do the same when my turn comes.
It looks like people don't get second FP anymore. I saw a number of approvals on trackitt.com, where people had old FP (>1.5 years). I got RFE without second FP notice, even though my FP is >18 months old.
on RFEs, he said newer people are taking a look at the older applications to approve. so there could be more/newer RFEs, but not always.
on pre-adjudication, he said nothing is completely pre-adjudicated unless visa dates are current.
More RFEs??? Newer people looking at older applications??? These are all bad news.
The whole idea of preadjudication was to review the case under retrogression to make sure that it can be approved when the PD will be current.
I do not think that they have time to review old applications once again.

Both my wife and I got two e-mails each from CRIS this morning with this status:
"Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident."
I called the CIS customer service last October 2007 and then again in January 2008 to ask about the status of my application. During the Jan-2008 call I asked to speak to an IO and was transferred one who refused give her number. The "IO" told me that something was holding my application even though I was already 4-5 months outside of their published processing time. A few days later, I received the dreaded e-mail with this line "We are currently awaiting the results of required security checks on this case." It felt like the carpet was yanked from under my feet.
My wife called CIS customer service last week to ask about her I-485. All of a sudden, the e-mails this morning.
We don't know what caused the movement of our cases, whether the phone calls or the recent memo about the approvability of cases pending security check for more than 180 days.
But anyway, hang in there. All the best.
EB2 is Dec 2003
EB3 is Oct 2001.
I called NSC today, and the officer was nice. She told be my background check is not clear, although my FBI namecheck has cleared quite a while ago. Earlier they used to blame FBI for name check backlog, and now background check. Any idea what this background check is comosed of and how long it takes.
The irony is, when I called last month, they told that everything is set to go and my case is assigned to an officer. Now this damn background check! Anyone in the same boat?
