welcome notice

Guys,
I'd like to thank you all. I haven't writen much here, but I've read all your messages, and they helped me a lot. I didn't know the DORA program existed a few months ago, for example.

Last night I got my welcome notice. I'm so relieved! Now my husband and I can relax and stop thinking about leaving everything behind again to go back to my home country.

By the way, my status online hasn't changed since december. They haven't updated my fingerprints yet.

Thank you all again and good luck with your processes!
Here's our timeline, I hope it can help someway...

08/2002 - I got married abroad to my wonderful husband (USC)
11/29/2005 - Interview
12/05/2005 - Receipt date
01/04/2006 - Fingerprints
02/06/2006 - Notice date

My question to someone who had talked with the officers at the window of EAD application is "do they have any knowledge on the case or do they all give just generic replies?". I did not understand what he meant when he said "apparently the background check is complete"(does he know about it ?). Also he did not answer my question on what an extended review is ?

p3ac3ful,

The officer at the window can look at a column no their computer screen and tell if your case is pending due to FBI background check. If they told you that apparently your check is complete, I would believe them. You may, however, want to call the customer service again and double check it. There has been instances that people who filed through DORA received the 70th day letter saying that the case cannot be processed but received the green card within 90 days. The 70th day letter is generated by the computer if the case is not approved within 70 days.

I think your case will be approved soon. However, I would not risk going for that job unless I have my green card in my hand. You know how it goes...you have been through H1.

Good luck

Eric: Can you make an inquiry now to INS since guess your 6 months ban have expired? Do you know an alternative way of knowing how's your case going besides calling the 800 number? I am trying to find the MSC phone number but...I can't find it.

Good luck for everyone!

K1_visa,

I emailed the congressman on Friday and the lady in his immigration department told me that she will do the inquiry again for me. I have done my inquiry and have been told that my case is still pending. Let's see if she can press some buttons in USCIS and find out what is actually going on.

ThankYou for the reply EricNeesGC . yes, i know how slow immigration things go. I would rather wait

dfwgc · Feb 13, 2006

Hey Eric
Can you please tell me the procedure for starting an enquiry through congressman. Thanx and good luck!

Butterfly_Azul · Feb 13, 2006

Yes Eric I would like to know also. Hell, I'm willing to personally go to their office!

So hook us all up with the info on how to contact our congressman. We would greatly appreciate it. Thank You Much!

EricNeesGC · Feb 13, 2006

dfwgc and butterfly_azul,

You can go to http://www.house.gov/writerep/ and enter your address to find out who your congressman is. You can also write to them from the same web page. You will have to know your 9 digit (5 + 4) zip code which you can get from usps.com.

I am not sure how much they will be able to help. In my case, their assessment of my case was not any different from mine.

Good Luck

Eric

GC for parents

I got my USC recently. My parents are coming to the US in March with a 10yr multiple entry visitor's visa. I want to apply for their GC as soon as they come. Is there a problem with this? I heard some people say that I should wait for 4 months before applying. Is this true? Please advise.

hardworker · Feb 14, 2006

GC for parents... cont...

Also, this is the third time my parents will be coming here. The first time they got I-94 for 6 months and went back within 6 months. The 2nd time, my mom got for 6 months but applied and got an extension of 2 more months, my dad got his I-94 for only 1 month and got an extenstion for another 4 months. Both of them returned within the time given after extension. Can they now apply for GC as soon as they come? Any advise will be appreciated. Thank you.

Am I the only one in this forum whos petition is taking so long?

Most of the cases are approved, as far as I know,
(1) within 90 days
(2) in aprox. 120-150 days

Am I an exception?
Thanks

K1_visa,

I have been waiting for 455 days now. So no, you are not the only one. On that note, guys, have I been waiting the longest? This is interesting. Lets see who has the longest wait with DORA so far.

Butterfly,

Well, I am also from Latin America, and yes, i also feel frustrated.
Has your husband a common First/Last Name?
How many times have you visited the Local Office to inquiry the reasons of the delay?
If you want to continue this talking with me, send me a Private Message and we can chat or e mail each other and share our experiences.
Buena suerte amiga

Hey Eric
I dont know if you remember but I asked you the procedure to start an enquiry thru Congressman. I sent them a message from the website like you told me to but they never replied. Infact I have done it once before too. Can you tell me another way to reach them.
Thanx

Find and call the phone number for your Congressman's office and explain your problem! That's the quickest way to get a response to your query.

dfwgc · Feb 23, 2006

Will do that . Thanx Anti climacus

You can call them and ask for Immigration Department. My congressman was Kenny Marchant in Grapevine. Who is yours? I think Kenny has now been replaced by someone else but people in the immigration department are the same so I just dealth with the same lady I did a year ago. Again, I am not sure how much it will help because all she would do is to inquire through internal USCIS people on your behalf and that is pretty much it. She won't contact the FBI.

Update

Hello everyone,
I havent posted much but I am constantly following this thread. I just wanted to update you guys on my case.

I went in november to find out what was causing the delay. I lady was very nice and went to the back to find out what was causing the delay. Came back and said that I had put in the wrong A number on my case during my interview. I had put in my passport # since I could not find any other A number. The lady that interviewed us did not correct it either apparently. So she said she fixed in any to give them 90 days before checking back.

Then in January I received a letter to have my fingerprints done and to ger EAD. But I had already done it once in July. So I went back and was told this should only be for 1 finger and signature for the greencard. I asked her about the A # situation and she said it was fixed and I dont need to worry about it anymore. She told me that the background check was back already and that I should be approved in a couple of weeks. So I went there and they did all the fingures again so I was confused. Waited and nothing happened.

So I went back there last week and the lady did not why it was being delayed. Then I mentioned the A number and she looked it up and said that was the problem and that background check was under a different number than the fingerprints. This is 6 months after we thought the problem was fixed. So I am back to waiting now.........This whole process needs to be improved......

interview 5/05
fingerprint 7/05
fingerprint again!!1/06
waiting........

dfwgc · Mar 2, 2006

Yessssss

I received an email last night(3-1-06) stating that : This case has been approved.....
This is for I130 but for 485 it says that cannot find it in system.
Is this it? Does this mean I am about to get my green card? How long does it usually take?
This forum has been very helpful and I pray that all of you get your cases approved ASAP! All of you have been very helpful esp. Ericneesgc who always has an answer for everyone. Thanx. I discovered about Dora on this forum and it worked for me. Here is my timeline
Applied thru DORA 6-20-05
Figerprints 8-17-05
fingerprints received 8-23-5
Case approved email 3-1-06
COuntry of citizenship : Pakistan
Good Luck all!
