To redskins

Hi redskins...RFE Notice is about previous year tax forms. So me & my wife has to call IRS to request tax forms for 2003, 2004, 2005. They sent me by fax and we submitted to INS.

I received my EAD card today and waiting for notice for Interview. I will let you know if I receive that.... I hope that we might get the interview notice anytime next week...lets wait...

Good luck to you.....

04/17/2007 - LUD I-485, I-765, I-131

Thanks for your response. Hey tell me something, on 04/17/2007 what was that LUD about? Latest update on what? Was your form I-485 approved? I am curious as to what that means.

Thanks,

myredskins whoop the eagles.

Finally got it

sure, will keep you updated as long as i get anything from them. I mean ANYTHING.

Finally, I got the interview notice today!!! The interview date is 7/30. We were so worried because we have to leave the country for 2 months in August.

Though, I was surprise the interview date is so late. (I think most of the people have 1-2 months between letter notice and real interview). I guess Pittsburgh DO is very busy. I think you will hear from them soon. Good luck!

cart, we have same interview date, and I also received LUD on I-130 on 5/4, but my I-485 has not been touched since 3/11. I just wonder if it's good or bad.

Hi Schnieker,

I went for my Finger Print on 23rd March '07, applied 485/765 based on Marriage B1 (my wife is USC). I haven't seen any LUD on USCIS website. Also I would like to know what do you mean by "Infopass - Fingerprint cleared"

Thanks

We had AOS interview on 04/30 and till today there are no updates on the online status, no emails, no mails! The officer told us that we should receive card within 2 weeks of interview.

Anyone with similar problem ?

Also we moved this week, I don't know with what status (pending or permanet resident [AR11]) we should give change of address!

Hmmm. Not sure about no updates online. The same I was interviewed the online status changed also. Don't worry if you were approved No need to worry.

Approved

My wife and I went for our appointment this morning (Santa Ana, CA) and were approved! We got the worst officer possible. A very strict and matter-of-fact chinese man. Didn't crack a smile once. I had every possible document he would want... in triplicate. Didn't pay any attention to our pictures, etc.

Only asked how we met, when we met, when we were married, do we have any children, are we now pregnant... that was pretty much it. He did ask about 2006 taxes since that wasn't available when i submitted in Feb.

How does it matter whether he smiled or not? At least you got approved without too much of a hassle! Enjoy your green card. Congratulations!

Ultimately, you're right, it's not relavent. It would be nice, however, to at least get someone pleasant. I think they know that people are somewhat nervous going in, and this guy seemed to enjoy that fact.

NO change in LUD at all

****
I filed on Feb 23rd and my LUD has not changed at all since 4/06 for 485/765 and 3/15 for my 130. I have had absolutely no updates to my status and no clue what is going on. Getting very anxious about this since a LUD that is more than 40 days ago.

Sometimes I think I should just let things take their own course of time but then that does not seem very practical here.

Has anyone else been through this situation.

Thank you

I am sort of in the same shoes as you. I head that an RFE can slow down the process by up to 3 or 4 weeks. But once you submit that, you are bound to get feedback in 45 days. So as long as your application is still within their time limits there isn't much that can be done I believe. That sucks hey?

Update

Hi all,

I posted a bunch of questions lat week, right after my husband and I came back from an interview in SF, CA.

Our interview was on 5/9/07. We were asked question on when and where we first met, when we got married, when I got my citizenship, if we had any more documents to submit...at the end we were not told if my husband was approved or not, he was asked to sign a paper that none of us knew what it was...The total time was about 20-25 min, not tricky questions. We tried to check his LUDs online following the suggestion from some of you, but we saw nothing besides his application was received on 2/28/07...

My husband received an e-mail late evening (9 pm or so) on 5/10, saying he had been APPROVED (I130/485 and surprisingly I131!). On 5/15 we received welcome letters from USCIS, and were promised a green card will arrive within 3 weeks. Yesterday (5/16) he received another set of emails, stating that the production of green card for him has been ordered.

So don't panic if you don't see any LUDs.

Good luck on your applications.

 

[EspoMan]

Same here, I haven't had any LUDs since April 12! But look at my time line. I would say don't worry too much about it.
