Hello everyone, hope everyone is ok. I filed my I-485 ( asylum based) in September 2005 and completed biometrics a multitude of times, the last one being in June 2007. I just returned to the usa a week ago on my rtd and i have to say that SFO is the smoothest and most professional that i have been to after my flight landed from london. The officers were very courteous and really really nice. They did send me to secondary but it was super quick. The immigration officer was wondering why my i-485 has been pending so long and I said that from what i know I had pending background checks. A few days later I called USCIS and spoke to an IO at the TSC ( Texas Service Center )where my case is pending. The officer informed that my name check has been cleared in December 2007 and that my case is ready to go. This past Monday I received an e-mail from USCIS that my I-485 has been transferred from TSC to Nebraska service center for processing. I have had updates everyday this week so far. The status still says that that on March 3, 2008 this case has been transferred to NSC. Any one can provide input on what is going on in my case? Thank you all and have a great weekend.
 
Can anyone provide feedback please?

Hi Bakeral
I have the same problem with you, I had interview last month about my GC application, the IO told me everything okay, I just need to wait for the background check clear, I applied GC on 2004, imagine that! :(
no GC yet!
my question is how you contact TSC? is that the DHS number?
please tell me the TSC number as my case pending with them?
thanks for the help...
 
Hi Crusher

Well my case was transferred to NSC from TSC where it was originally filed. There is no specific number for TSC. What I did is call the USCIS toll free number and somehow my call got transferred to an Immigration officer at TSC ( a miracle I think ). A few days after talking to the immigration officer, I had my case transferred to NSC. I really don't know if that is a good or bad sign since I have been waiting since 2005. My thing is that I call early in the morning ( i am in CA, they are in TX) so that you actually do speak to an immigration officer ( if you are lucky ) and see what's going on. Any customer service representative will not know more about your case than what's on their screen. They do not have details about your background checks or if they have cleared. You can try e-mailing TSC to see where your case is at. Good luck to all of us! Take care.

:eek:

Hi
Mine is the same, I applied in NSC and got transfer to TSC, I called this morning the customer service didnt tell me anything, so sad!
she didnt even tell me the number or email that I can contact them.
I am tired of waiting.... :(
 
Yet again , my case is transferred back to TSC from NSC

My I-485 was originally filed in September 2005. I received an I-797 on March 4, 2008 saying that my case was transferred to NSC from TSC. Now , I receive an online update yesterday that my case is transferred back to TSC and that I will receive a notice from USCIS of that transfer. Can anyone shed some light on to what's going on? I'm pretty nervous as I don't understand what all this file transferring is all about.:(
 
another update on my case today....

So today I receive an e-mail from USCIS that my case was transferred to TSC and is now pending processing. If my I-485 has been filed in September 2005 that still means that it should be processed soon because my case is outside the TSC normal processing time? Is my thinking right? Any input please let me know. I don't understand why USCIS did all this transferring if my case was at TSC to begin with and now it is pending again at TSC.:confused: Someone please advise me

Hi Petertherock77,
I did mine on feb'08 it went good and smooth, actually the interview with IO was only 5 minutes,she just wanna clarify the whole thing (I485),and make sure the pic on there is me,and ask me again about the questionare on I485.
BUT I have to go to the investigation room which is not fun at all...
They asked me so milllions questions,something that not really important.
and after like 30 minutes or so they took me out and sign on my NP and my RTD a code beginning with FINS ****.
so I confused and talk to IO again she told me I cant approve your case now,then she said that I have to wait for several months.
till now I am waiting and I called this morning to DHS,the representative told me they mail a notice yesterday,I asked what it was,she couldnt answer it. :(
well I am still waiting and waiting and I hope that will be a nice letter/notice!

so, anyone know what FINS stand for?

I believe FINS may stand for Federal Investigation Notice (not sure what the 'S' is for).
 
Crusher4me,

Nice to hear about your interview. I was wondering why they had to make you go to an investigation room? did you have any complications with your case such as; criminal arrest, material support issue i.e. I think there must be something that raised some sort of flag on your case and they wanted to investigate to clarify the situation. I do not know the basis of your case but you can send me a P.M and we can discuss further.

Goodluck...

Crusher4me,

What country are you from? Did at any time have to do special registration with USCIS?
Click to expand...

Well my country is one of the country susspect "terrorist"country.and that's why they need me to do the special registration thing. The ICE officer was surprise why I dont have any FINS number,I said because I came 2002 and was granted asylum,( i remember people who granted asylum dont have to do special registration,and I went to the INS office on 2003 to register but they said I dont have to since i am asylee)
I looked online and FINS stands of fingerprint indetification number.
I dont have any criminal records or anything wrong, so I am hoping something good will come soon! :)
 
Crusher4me,

Good information. I did some research and found out the FINS is meant for people from countries that are required to undergo special registration under NSEERS. Probably they might want to do some investigation to see if you ever were meant to register or whatever happened. I beleive you'll be fine because the main thing is that you're eligible for adjustment of status.
 
Did you receive the letter yet! I wonder why the person you spoke with over the phone was unable to tell you what kind of letter was mailed.
