GC for Parents - AOS and CP - Information Source

Thanks a lot for your prompt response ML_boston! did you apply from Boston too?

Even though we got letters saying the I-485s were transferred to CSC, on line is still showing the old message with "This case is at our NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER location. " were all your applications transferred to CSC?

So, we won't be able to find out the status for background check until get the approval letter, right?
 
I guess so, I didn't pay close attention to the on line message, not much impression about " case resumed", and I only registered with my Dad's email address. Since you are predicting your transfer to CSC, I remember you said that your EAD got transferred to CSC, do you mean that your i-481 hasn't been transferred yet?

citizen08,

One more nitpicky question as I am tracking timelines to predict my transfer to CSC.

Was 7/30/08 the day that UPS/Fedex said USCIS receved your RFE response? Or was it the day your online status switched to "Case resumed"?

By the way, we got 4 transferred letters regarding to 4 applications (I-130, I-485) for each parent), if those cases approved, aren't we suppose to get a seperate approval notice for i-130s?

Sort of... Father will live with GC brother in California. I-130 with Boston address, I-485 with CA address. Both were filed concurrently.

Nope, all are still at NBC, your timeline is the latest one to help me predict my transfer to CSC... Based on your post I'm removing "service center = CSC" from my timeline.

Background checks have been pretty reliably 3-4 months, except for the occasional stuck person. At that point USCIS will wait 180 days for the FBI before giving up and giving you the GC anyways.

If you're really eager, you can check the name check threads... there is some direct # to the FBI which can give more detailed info.

You're not technically approved until the name check clears, you'll get approval notices for the I-485 and I-130 all at that time (per prior posts).

And on a more annoying note... USCIS case status is saying my password will expire in 14 days? I can understand corporate security requiring my work passwords to change, but what possible security risk is there with "your case is pending in NBC", it doesn't even say where I live???

Anyone filed for Parents GC on CP?

It seems that all of the messages are for parents GC based on AOS. Lucky you guys! :)

My wife has filed for her parents based on CP (they have been rejected visitors visa thrice) in April 2008. Till date, no response from USCIS.:(

Is there anyone filed for parents GC based on CP? Please share the timeline.
 
Hey, your prediction was so correct! I checked the online message and saw all (for 2 485s and 2 130s) LUDs changed to 8/28/08 with the new message "Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred."

unbelievable!

I also got the "case transfer to CSC" letter today. Similar to citizen08, there was no web site LUD describing this. All the prior posters to this parent thread got "case transfer" web updates prior to receiving the letter.

Either USCIS is no longer doing "case transfer" web updates, or maybe they're updating the web only for those who don't have RFEs (citizen08 and I both had RFEs).

Citizen08,

Can you keep an eye on your online case status and let us know if you get a GC approval/welcome letter soon?

All those who did parent I-130/I-485s in the past seemed to have "case pending at CSC" status until the 3-4 months from the fingerprint date.

But it looks like the FBI is fixing their backlog and many spousal filers are reporting 2-3 month FBI timelines.

This means that you and I could be approved any day now, instead of the typical 1 month wait after "pending at CSC".

Hi ml_boston & Citizen08,

Once uscis received my parents' RFE response, LUD states "You should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing or an interview are standard parts of case processing and have not yet been completed, in which case you can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done."

I just wonder if you guys have the same LUD message after your RFE received by uscis.

Thanks!

Your RFE came even before FP. ML's and citizen08's RFE came after FP, so I guess that is why little different message. Do you mind sharing what was the RFE for and on which form?

Yes, I got the same LUD message.

I've noticed that NBC has sped up significantly, but the DOs are still often backlogged by all the citizenship apps (may explain RFE before FP). As a parent GC, you usually won't have to deal with the DOs, so that's good news.

You'll probably get EAD/AP approval within 1 week, and transfer to CSC within 3 weeks.

Good luck.

Hi Guys;

I just called the CSC center for my dad's pending application. I explain them that my father application seems to be separted from my mom's application.

The officer looked my father case and explain me that my dad's Fingerprint has problem and the officer put the file on Hold. She told me that once officer will send me the notice, I have to go to local Police station for my dad's Fingerprint.

She's also going to pass my case to officer, so they can update my case.

I am still waiting for my dad's I-130 and I-485 approval.
