I tend to agree agroy, your academic credentials are not really important for 485, that was evaluated on ur 140 and was granted. the 485 according to my lawyer is, "why we should not give u the green card?" as opposed to 140- "why we should give u the GC?"

I googled for it, it apparently concerns citizens of certain countries. It seems to be part of the (unfair) profiling the initiated after 9/11:

However, the registration has been suspended a while ago it seems ? :

Happy new year for everyone, and I join atonl's wish for early approvals

Happy new year to all.
I finally have my greencard in my pocket. I almost lost it since I found it on the floor 3 feet away from my mail box it was adressed to the wrong mail box number number (USCIS mistake). The mailman saw my name but the wrong number and just put on the floor... so check you adress guys with the INS.
I think the idea that "you come from a special country" is bull. It is true that you get more scrutiny I think, -i did not see it except in time, 2 1/2 years from day 1 (I 140) to the day I got my greencard (I485), concurrent filing.
Happy new year to all. I will keep an eye on this thread and try to answer some questions when I know the answer or provide some comfort.
Work to make the US remain the promised land.
One more note: MZGh are the consonnants of teh word AMAZIGH, name given to North African people that are historically known as Berbers (most famous are Saint Augustine, Massinissa, jugurta (read salluste), Appuleus, Zidane (real madrid) and many more. If you are in Boston, check out the peabody museum at Harvard University, which is running an exhibit on Amazigh people till May 2006)
some of few I will never forget since we suffered together.

Hi Antonl:
No changes on my side
No FP2 notice yet. Time to call the local congressman's office again Physical green card recieved
Happy New Year to all!
I came back from vacation, and collected my mail today (1/3/05) at the post office and found my physical green card from USCIS. My wife has not yet recieved the card, so we called CIS and spoke to 2nd level IIO. IIO told her that they have recieved stamping info, but not yet started her card processing, but she will also get her card soon.

IS there a special number to call to speak to a "second level" iio? everytime, i've called, i just get a standard response that is already available on the website.
also, when should one start the congressman/senator office call procedure?

But VSC dates are june 19th 2003
Hi Arjundc
The VSC dates are 06/19/2003 and i thought we can query them only if the processing times posted in the website crosses by one month after our ND. Am i wring here? I was expecting concurrent approval but don't know why they r keeping my I485 still pending..?

No special number. Just called the regular 800 number and sufficiently confused the person who answered, so that she transferred us to 2nd level IIO. IIO is the only person who has any real information. The first level person merely reads what we too can access on our online status.

You are right, unless it changed, that's exactly what it says in the USCIS webpage where they show the processing times.
On the concurrent approval: I really hope you get it. Some times it is almost concurrent, delayed by one or two months. But, please consider the fact that USCIS has no obligation on concurrent approval. It is suggested (in the famous memo) that they do their best to get a concurrent approval, but it is just a suggestion. It it important for you to consider this if you are going to talk to a representative. The spirit of the memo is: "if you (an IO) can get the whole case approved in one shot, just do it and let's keep moving. If you can't, approve I140 and keep the normal I485 procedure going ..."
What they are supposed to do is to keep up with the posted processing date, that's why/when you start case inquiry. Apparently, it worked with my case.
Cheers,

Well, I think that this is more flexible. There is no rule for that AFAIK, all you have to tell the congressperson is that your case has been delayed "too long", and ask for help. The important thing is to quantify somehow what you mean by "too long" (I don't think they'll be able to do much if your case is following normal course .... ) But that should do IMHO !
So sad .... a new year ....
Nothing. Asked the congressman office to give a call, feedback as "name check" starting from end of OCT, so need to wait.... who knows what is really happening there .... So just wait after having tried whatever I could as suggested by you guys ...
Thanks.
