The immigrant visa unit of US embassy is the one who sends you packet 3.5 and assign you the case number. But to initiate this process they need some documents. Thats why I am telling you to contact them and tell them about your situation and they will tell you what documents you need to send them so that they can assign you case number and send you packet 3.5.

Receipt No. XYZ
Receipt Date: July 19.2006
I 824 Approval Date: October 06.2006


Approving Center: Vermont service Center


Please confirm me about the issuance authority of Case Numbers. I am confused whether it is the Consulate office or it is the NVC. And what are the requirements that I should meet before I am issued my case number or packet 3.5, which would minimize the time in order to overall completion of my case. Please further mentioned about the term “Class-F41” and the No. of days in receiving the Form 3.5?

THANKS

Question for usnycus

Hi usnycus,
been reading your posts lately. You seem like a Delhi guy. Can you make a guesstimate about the timeline from I-824 to interview for GC at the US embassy in N. Delhi? I have been married for 27 years. We came to the US 12 years ago. I got my GC a couple years ago. My spouse will be completing his J1 physician waiver in a US hospital (currently on H1) in June 2007. After June2007, he is eligible to apply for GC. The way I understand the gc rules for J1, He should be able to apply for I-824 but the application for GC (e.g. the packages 3.5, assignment of case number at the US embassy) should be started only in June 2007 after the completion of the J1 waiver period. We would like to be able to go to India in Jan-Feb 2008 and get it all over with. So the timing is crucial.
Thanks a lot.

Forgot to mention. We would be filing I-824 to VSC. We live in New England and my gc was approved at VSC.
 
hello

:cool: Dear Kamran & judex
hope you r fine please tell me is there any side in NVC where i check my case states on line, because in these day my case is in NVC thankyou.
 
I dont think that there is a way to check case status at NVC online. I posted earlier that there is a phone number and email address where you can contact them and ask about the case status.
Good Luck.

December 2006 Visa bulletin

Finally my PD is current and my wife is going to apply. Wish me luck. I hope that there will not be any more surprises and hurdles. I will keep you guys posted.
Bad news is that schedule A workers cat is unavailable. I was in opinion from the posts of lawyers that this category will use the quota of EB3 but seems like it requires legislation from congress. This is bad news. If nothing is gonna happen then schedule A has to wait for next year october when they might add some more quota to it.

Best of Luck to all and pray for me.
 
Good Luck!

kamrans,

you have helped us, God will grant your wish...

hope the congress and senate do something about the schedule A visa ASAP, i'm on it...

Good Luck!

Judex

kamrans

kamrans may God be with you. IM sooo happy to hear that your time has finally come..your wife will be with you next yr!!!!!! god bless you and my prayers are with you
 
Thanks to all

I thank you all who wish me luck. Seems like it still going to take some more time. I talked to US embassy and they say that you can send the documents to us after Dec. 1 (Since my PD become current in Dec VB) and at this point they are giving interview date for the end of March. So in other words it will take another 4 months at least. After sending the documents I dont know how long it will take to get the interview date.
My PD is 20 July 2002. Hope its going to be smooth one. I will update you all as soon as I get some update.

Good Luck to all.
 
Denied :(

hello to everybody,

i got a bad news, my petition for 824 is denied!

here's the decision:

dear sir/madam,

on august 10, 06, you filed an application for action on an approved application or petition, form 824.

the action you have requested on your application is intended for consular notification of an alien's adjustment of status to that of a permanent resident. this adjsutment of status occurs while the alien is in the US and is accomplished by the filing of an application for adjustment of status for permanent resident(i-485).

evidence submitted with your application indicates that you were admitted into the US as a LRP. there is no provision on form 824 for requesting consular notification of a LRP's admission into the US.

further, the form 824 is a request for action on an application or petition that has already been approved. there was no application or petition filed with the USCIS office to effect your entry into the US. therefore, there is no approved application or petition on which to base your request for additional action.

for the above reasons, your application is hereby denied.

sincerely,

sandra bushey.


my inputs on the decision:
1.)
the action you have requested on your application is intended for consular notification of an alien's adjustment of status to that of a permanent resident. this adjsutment of status occurs while the alien is in the US and is accomplished by the filing of an application for adjustment of status for permanent resident(i-485)

my wife don't need the i485 coz she had a consular processing, she has an approved i-140. does this mean i-485 processing is needed to processes i824?

2.)
evidence submitted with your application indicates that you were admitted into the US as a LRP. there is no provision on form 824 for requesting consular notification of a LRP's admission into the US.

the time she entered the US is the time she become an LRP, which adjust her status from having an IV to having an LRP. is this correct? please clarify..

3.)
further, the form 824 is a request for action on an application or petition that has already been approved. there was no application or petition filed with the USCIS office to effect your entry into the US. therefore, there is no approved application or petition on which to base your request for additional action.

same, no i-485 needed... just the i140 approval...


Any inputs on the decision? hope anyone can clarify this...

Can i appeal? there's no information regarding appeals.

if there is no other solution to my problem, does my wife need to file i-130 ASAP? it will take more or less 4 years for that... ggrrrrrrrr.....

what is this?

what is this?
principal applicant's green card (front and back) and the
USCIS-stamped pages of his/her passport confirming her adjustment of
status as a permanent resident

is this the i-551 stamp? can anyone provide the sample stamp?

i'm confused...

Its indeed a bad news. What your lawyer is saying about it. I have a feeling that your lawyer is incompetent. You should check with some other lawyer. Since she came here with the consular processing she doesnt need any 485. Based on your wife case history you may or may not get FTJ benefits. I am not sure. Check with some good lawyer who knows something. Of course you can appeal.

Good Luck.

Yes thats I-551 stamp and probably she got it when she gets in here for the fist time. Its just a stamp on passport in one page stating the case number and the validity of that stamp.
Green is the physical card she may have got after one month or more of arrival in USA.
Judex in my opinion I believe that your lawyer didnt provided enough evidence to prove that you dont need any 485. Some other good lawyer is needed at this point. Also if you are not eligible then you should file i-130 right away or think of getting H1 next year.

Good Luck.

thanks kamrans

thanks for the advice...

we dont have any lawyer, i did all the paper works, and i think we need a good one :)

i just provided all the requirements needed in the i824 like 551 stamp page and the i140 approval, i did not mention in the cover letter the consular process thing...

there are problems in the 824 requirements, they did not mention that 485 approval is needed and what if an alien did the consular processing and did not go thru the 485, we need clarification on this things...

is it a good idea to get an infopass and ask some clarification regarding the decision?

thanks,

judex

Hi Judex! I came upon this thread while sufing for experiences for ftj for the fact that I just got my gc last Oct 24 this year and I have filed for my husband and 3 kids for ftj. I am a Filipina and I have downloaded your posting regarding our embassy`s reply to you regarding the case number, the reason why I am sad indeed with your recent denial.. you see, I have followed your advice to send all the docs to the US immigration visa branch. Hope you will be given consideration..

I do believe the best thing for you is to access infopass and tell your story inorder to know what is the best option for you, for what I know, the ftj is for those who are AOS and not the consular waiting.. go and look for legal advices, it is good to be aware of the laws just as Kamrans is actually!

BTW, (thanks to Kamrans, I know of this BTW), I would like to cheer up all those who are reading this thread, like Kamrans, we have to be very thankful for the opportunity of having the chance to be immigrants than dwelling on the waiting, though I know how painful it is to be separated from loved ones, I know there are so many out there who are not given the same chances as we have,, lets all Praise God for answering our prayers! Its just a matter of time..

I registered in this thread for I feel you have been an inspiration to many, and thanks so much guys,, you just don`t know how important your advices and sharings/testimonies are for us all who are reading it!

I am a nurse eb3 and filed concurrently my 1-140, 1-485, 1-765 and AP last Sept8, 06, received USCIS Sept 12, fingerprinting(biometrics) Sept 26, approval of AP, Oct. 3, approval of 1-140 last Oct 13, approval of 1-485, last Oct 20, then my greencard was sent to me last Oct. 24, so its 42days from filing! This is in Texas service center! This really is something to testify that God is with us and knows our concerns,, He will answer our prayers! There is nothing impossible in our God!

Now I am starting this ftj for my dependents and I will post whatever news I have on this, I have read all 170 pages of this thread and I feel we have to ask for a miracle here.. May God be merciful to us all!

God bless,
Simala2006
 
HELLO EVERY ONE
My question is that my category is F4(BROTHER AND SISTER OF U.S CITIZENS) my priority date is march 12,2001 and recently i received letter from NVC he said that
visa number is not presently availabe for your use.You will be notified when further consederation can be given to processing ur application for immigration.the reason for this delay is that there are more aplicants for visa then there are immigrant visa numbers available under the limitation prescribed by law.For some visa catogary,for example F3 or F4, this delay could be many years should you wish to know which priority dates are currently being processed





And my question is how much time my case is in NVC and when my case is reached conslate or embassy how much time i have to wait i am very confused :confused:
