It's been almost one month since my parents' case was transferred to California center. By reading previous posts seems it usually takes about a month for GC to be approved. Anxiously awaiting...

Timeline:
8/14/08: 485,130,131,864,693 sent to Chicago
8/18/08: Receipt date
9/4/08: FP done
10/16/08: Case transferred to CSC
10/23/08: Advance parole approved.
10/24/08: LUD of 485,130
10/31/08: Advance parole received in mail.

My Mother's case was also transferred on 10/14 but no news yet on 485 front. It looks like the process has slowed down a bit in the last couple of months.

Thanks, pleasetellemwhy. Appreciate the response.

Just want to know something before i follow the instructions on the OP. Is it up to date as in details & steps. I know filling fees may have change but i am just concerned there is something missing or something that has been removed from the steps.

 

[citizen08]

GOOD for you and your parents! Regardless what judicial committee is, I think your parents case should be settle very very soon.

Contrast to my parents case, their finger prints have not been done reviewing per infopass on Nov. 5th, it could possible take another 2 months from now......DARN.....

sorry about your parents' news, do they need to wait for another finger print?

well, hope that my parents will get approval soon, because we are planning a trip overseas as soon as they get it.

Are you sure that you are at the right post?

 

[Ramsis]

yea i want to apply for GC for my parents.

I/O told me that their finger print are still under review. My interpretation of it is that my parents' case is stucking on background check/name check/finger print review.

Whether my parents need to re-do the finger print, as now, I have no idea.

My parents' case got transfer to CSC on Sep 9, which is the same as endromea2007 parents' case. And now his/her I-130 got approval already. Should my I-13be the next? I agree with Vik Pal that CSC has been slowing down a bit on its process last couple months.

[pleasetellmewhy]

We did an infopass, the IO said that my parents back ground all cleared, and everything was transferred to a judicial committee on Nov. 5th, we should expect the result in 30days to 60 days.

First time to hear about some "judicial committee" in USCIS center, and by the way, nothing changed from on line registration either, no even the LUD.

More weird thing is I couldn't open the online message, when I click on it, it only selected that case. Have anybody seen it?

Hey, I just check the online status, I am unable to open the link neither. WEIRD!!!.....anyone experiences that? or is that indicate our cases are currently being work on?

Thanks. All theories failed here since I was expecting citizen08 and you will get approved before me, based on your FP dates and/or date when you applied. Also guess was based on timelines of ML. So what I am thinking is may be RFE helped. May be RFE response kind of kickstarted the stalled process? Another thing what I did was called USCIS on 10/24 and managed to get case opened since my mother got EAD/AP and my father didnt and his EAD was pending for for close to 90 days.

In last few days I have started getting automatic email notification whenever something changes on the cases in the portfolio of cases registered with a login id on USCIS case status site. This was not the case earlier. Earlier I had to login and click on portfolio to see status and/or changes. Now I get automatic emails, so that is good. Will make life easier for people.

Also messages are changing twice in day. This is second time it happened and this one at 10:20PM Pacific.
"Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident"
we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later.

[anoush]

I am getting ready to apply for a Adjustment of Status for my mother who is currently visiting the US on a B-2 visa. I just recently became a US Citizen, and have not filed any forms for my mother yet. We are working on putting together her I-693 form (Medical Examination of Aliens Seeking Adjustment of Status), and the medical center she's been referred to is quite booked up (earliest they can see her is 12/22/08). Meanwhile, the expiration date on her I-94 is 1/14/09. Would it be possible to file for Adjustment of Status even after that date (in case the hospital is delayed in preparing the I-693)?
What is my best course of action here? Should I try to extend her B-2 visa in anticipation of a possible delay? I wonder if it is too late to file for extension now.
Thank you,
Anoush

 

[Triple Citizen]

Yes

Would it be possible to file for Adjustment of Status even after that date (in case the hospital is delayed in preparing the I-693)?

In my opinion, she should go back and return on an IR1 visa.

What is my best course of action here?
