Still waiting for primary!!!!
 
Primary also approved

I am happy to inform that I am also approved today and received card ordered e-mail. :D:D:D


Thank you all who are participating in this forum and it made a lot of difference in my case. I learnt a lot of information in this forum as a regular reader. In particular, letter to First Lady to push name check, Fax to TSC director last month (apparently now they disconnected that fax number), confidence not to file AC21 after change of job are few to mention.


I wish good luck for all those waiting!!!
 
Hi,

I am in the same situation. My wife and daughter received their GC last month, but I, the primary (EB1), am still waiting. I don't even have updates recently. Could you tell me what is the advantage and disdavantage for filing AC-21 when you change job with a pending I-485? Thanks.

Bill:

I suppose your NC would have cleared last October timeframe and have been pending still. They approve derivatives only after NC is cleared for primary (situation then). Unfortunately when the case goes to review some officers are quick and some are not. In my case, the officer took 4 months for review which is normally 30 days in TSC. So We have to be behind them pushing by all means. I beleive in your case as well, you have to find all means to communicate to move the case forward. I used infopass (local office was very helpful), faxed to TSC director (after which my derivatives actually got approved), I also talked to Congressman (but it takes atleast 90 days), CIS ombudsman, POJ etc.

I used AC21 option to change job but per my attorney filing AC21 may further complicate/delay the processing. Also the AC21 law is unclear and can be intrepreted both ways. However one problem doing this option, is during applying for citizenship they may raise this issue. I decided to go by my attorney even if USCIS issues NOID, I was prepared to prove the job was similar.

Best wishes!
