UKcowgirl said:Well Originally what happened was we applied on JUly 1st.. and then we sat and waited for something else to happen.. so at the 90 day mark i went to immigration and asked what was going on.. and they said oh be patient! and i was like i havent even had Fingerprinting!! So he looked it up and said oh yea we sent youa notice for that and it was returned undeliverable.. which is weird cause we got the receipt ok.. i think that may have been CRAP.. anyway so i leave with the hope that someone will contact me as the man said and nothing.. so Oct 19th i go back and its been 108 days i think.. well the lady got me to go get my fingperprints done that day.. so then i was just waiting to see my status update and nothing... so i made an appt for last thursday.. 162 days! they couldnt tell me anything! they said well your checks still going on so you just have to wait! i asked why my online status was not changing and she said that it didnt work with DORA... more CRAP.. then i said well i have knows at least 2 people that went through this and were done way before me.. and they applied after me!! and she said well none of the DORA cases are gettin gprocessed in90 days.. MORE CRAP!!!!
I am just done listening now! i guess i will just have to sit and wait! its just very frsutrating.. as yes i need to get a job so we can buy ahouse!!
DFWFM said:But how come she said that none of the DORA cases are being processed within 90 days and the people you know got their cases done that fast? weren't their cases processed through DORA?
thanks,

EricNeesGC said:UKCowGirl,
If your DORA application is not processed within 70 days, you should automatically get a letter from BCIS that you are eligible to appliy for EAD. Did you not get that letter? Even if not, you are eligible to apply. Go ahead and get the EAD. Buy a house. Good Luck!

any body more interested in knowing about my experience reply to this post.
Dallas rocks.!!!
P.S. i think one has to live in dallas to apply for this program.
Did you call the immigration or the INS guys called you to notify you verbally about the approval? or where the calling to be sure of your new addressUKcowgirl said:I was called on Friday as Immigration had been sending stuff to my old address and so they confirmed my new address told me i was approved on Dec 17th and that my green card is in the mail YAY its over!!!
It takes 90 days for the USCIS to make a decision on your case, but some people get thier approval under 90 days, what normally delays it is the the background check from FBI, if the can't make a decision on your case under 90 days the will notify you to come and apply for EAD, you can will get your EAD same day.nam2001 said:Hi Everyone
I am new to this forum. Recently discovered it and want to say that it is of great help.
My question to anyone who maybe able to help is that how long do you have to wait to file for I-130/485 under the piolt program if you have just moved to Dallas?
nam2001 said:Thanx for responding but I meant to ask that if someone has just moved to Dallas do they need to wait for some time before they can apply for I-130? Or they can do it right away.
Thanx
I was one of those registrants... and did take my FIN# (it was stamped on my passport) and gave them a copy... for whatever it's worth.EricNeesGC said:2. If you are from one of the countries who had to do the NEESRS registration after 9/11, take your NEESRS registration card. This card has your FIN (Fingerprint Indentification Number) on it and will speed up your FBI checks since your background check was already done after the NEESRS registration. Some of the countries in this category were Pakistan, Saudi Arabia and Bangladesh.
