I am planning to file I-130 for my brother and family. My question is will my brothers kids (10, 20 yrs old) be denied entry to US --(they have valid B-1 visas already)-- if a GC petition on their behalf is pending??
 
Congratulations aaren on receiving your EAD.

For those who are expecting mail from USCIS and live in the Mid-Atlantic region blame mother nature. The Post Office officially suspended mail last service Saturday and Wednesday in the Washington, DC region due to the storms. However, I read in the DC area paper that some people haven't seen the mailman since last Friday. Oh, and Monday is a federal holiday.

dec09filer i think my case is slow in a way because every body is getting either an EAD or IL
between 42 to 53 days,my case is @ day 52 now i haven't received either one.my last case touch was
04 feb.why am scared is that i don't want to miss my interview date.i think am the only person that hasn't
seen EAD or IL from your list of dec 09.

23-DEC-2009 - Application mailed to Chicago, 130, 485, 864,etc
24-DEC-2009 Date Of Acknowledgment
04-JAN-2010 NOA received for 130,485 (mailed on 12/31)
07-JAN-2010 FP ND
12-Jan-2010 FP Notice received for 1/27/10
19-JAN-2010 485 case Update RFE mailed
22-JAN-2010 received RFE.
27-JAN-2010 Biometrics done
01-FEB-2010 Mailed in response to RFE
03-FEB-2010 RFE Received
04-FEB-2010 Case resumed
 
realcool, seeing as you've sent your RFE back to USCIS a little under 2 weeks ago it may be slowing progress in your case. You should be back up and running soon
 
Here is a recommendation for anyone that would like to keep track of their dates and to set expectations and reminders on when to follow-up. What I did was I set up a Google Calendar for the immigration process. I recorded any appointments, when either of us called USCIS (agent either of us spoke with and about what), plus I also recorded on the calendar when we received something from USCIS by mail or email. I also gave USCIS 30 days turn around expectation unless they gave us another time line, and I put a note in the calendar on what day to call USCIS if we haven't heard anything about it. I also set the calendar up so it would email me when I had to do something (sometimes I have it email me a couple of days in advance). For example, my wife had her FP on Jan 13th, so I put a case follow up notice in the calendar for Feb 16 (13th is a Saturday, 15th is a holiday) to call them if we haven't heard anything since the FP appointment.

Dont panic yet...notice we filed at the beginning of dec while you filed in the later half. Maybe our EAD's were already set before they put our file on hold for the rfe. Yours maybe coming soon. As for interview letters, notice only the rfe club members have been left out. So its just the rfes slowing us down a it. I'm expecting a 20 day turnaround. i would say rfe club should get IL at the end of this month.At least i hope so;) Remember Ead and then applying for SSN card takes time. You may end up getting green card before these guys get ssn # and then a job. So dont get so stressed... Notice most of Nov and all of oct filers appears finished with the process. Some of them were in the rfe situation too.
 
Real Cool1, Be cool for few more days;).
If you do not hear anything within the next 10 days , then you may please contact USCIS Customer service to explain your situation.This would speed up the process.

Dhlunar, Thanks for the good wishes.

best wishes to everyone especially to those who are gonna have their interviews soon =)
