I am no Terrorist, any advice?

Well maybe I was wrong then newton1. I thought maybe my dad's hold was removed because the notice after our latest service request didn't mention 212.a.3.b.

I'd urge you to contact your Senator at least once and wait for what they say. If they again mention the same 212.a.3.b. and you're a 100% that you didn't provide any material support, then yes, I'd go ahead with filing a writ of mandamus.

Do you really know what really irks me? This sort of "actively processing" nonsense. That makes me feel like we're being treated and assured like we're some 8 year olds.

How long does it take to approve or "investigate" any case? years?! Give me a break. Chances are, they aren't even doing anything and like Cortaidus pointed out, maybe, just maybe, they got annoyed with our "service requests" and who knows, maybe even sent the same 212.a.3.b. nonsense out of annoyance? What have they got to lose anyways. Its been 5 years man. Do they even know what it feels to "prevented" from seeing your mom and your brother for that long just because your cases haven't been approved? I doubt it and again, like they'd even care.
 
Patience, patience, patience please

HOPE FOR BEST is correct!
I have been waiting for 4 years for my green card and I finally got the email today after being on hold for the infamous 212 a 3 b.
This means that things are happening and files are being released. I know it is very difficult to wait but let's all be patient. I think the best news we got this year is the email from HOPE FOR BEST that announced changes in the processing of the 212 a 3 b held cases.
I am very sure that the days to come would see more good news in this forum!

Patience, patience, patience please!
 
Congratulations ngoulap!!!

Could you care to tell us if you've done service requests or contacted Senators or done Info passes in recent weeks? Also, do you have any other pending cases such as I730s? Your update certainly made my friday night. :D
 
Hi all,

Fist of all congratualations to ngoulap for finally receiving your GC, and wish all the best of the remaining of us. I just want state that things are moving on the right track, since we are seeing some applicants obtaing their GC. I also want to remind all of us that we should be patience and clam. Coming days will bring good news and yet, we will gather here some day remembering that at one time we were talking about our suffering and we will laugh about it. Guys things ARE MOVING...just remeber this. I want every one of us to mintion any news regarding a person you might know who received his GC even if you dont know him. These news will keep our hope increasing day after day. We started to hear some good news in the past few WEEKS and these news will keep raising more and more...we are very very close to end this journg folks.
 
Hope for best, I don’t want to be pessimistic neither passive, I spoke with my lawyer who is very expert in these type of cases and he work closely with USCIS to implement these kind of waivers, he said it will takes years before they go thru all these cases and he suggested that I should file mandamus, and also he recommended if we filed as a group that will be more stronger case than filing individually. I just want to know what are you guys think of that.
 
Asylee_1999

Thanks for sharing you personal point of view with us. However, if you reviewed our previous posts you will find out that many ppl filed mandamus and did not work out for them for one reason, which is Tier I, II, III that we were placed in. As long as you are placed in one of these categories this mandamus cases will not work out. As you have noticed, many ppl received thier GC in the previous WEEKS which indicates a strong signe that immigration officers are working on our speciall cases faster. Please reivew my first post if you do not mind. I have obtained my information from a person who met with an OFFICIAL who met with immigration officers NOT based on a lawyer Advise.

Thanks,
 
Hope for Best, that can't be accurate. I recently found out about a compatriot who's been placed in Tier III. He sued their *** and got his GC approved.

I fear I'm with Asylee_1999 on this one. Until I hear that a FEW of us ( who've been on this forum ) get approved, I won't get swayed by "yay, I got approved" comments off people who I've never seen post in here. People receiving their approvals after being branded "terrorists" isn't a big deal. I've heard of people receiving their approvals 3-4 months ago. If it happens MORE often, then I will start believing. Further, like I've already mentioned, who's to say that they will be approving our cases in a couple months time? It might take them 18 months to approve ours while the others receive their approvals in 2 weeks.

Again, I'm gonna wait for 2 months.
 
Wait for the Mandamus Don't rush

When you rush things go backward. So be patience little bit more.

I do have a new news to tell. I spoke to a person yesterday whose I485 was on hold for 4+ years. He got his approval 2 weeks ago. I didn't believe it when he said he got approved and received his GC. I even talked to his lawyer. He was right--yes holds are being removed. The lawyer did service request. I rather advise you to go and see your congressman if you can't wait.
 
Patience

I just want to say that I did not take any action but just waited for the decision. Let's look forward to the weeks to come to confirm this trend.
I also think we should be a little more optimistic. When many of us are optimistic, even nature works in our favor!
 
You never answered to my question ngoulap, do you have any other application still pending?

Tier 3 is easy ....
 
Looks like everyday you learn something new in the ocean of immigration law. I was wondering if you guys could help me out on this, i just want to be sure. for people who don't know, i'm an i730 beneficiary(hoping to be), my spouse filed a petition for me in march of last year and in december we received the heartbreaking 212.a.3.b hold. Like most of you i want to have patience and hopefully one day we get our approval cuz we havent' done anything wrong. but, wait for me is even harsher. I am on f1 status and my opt expired few weeks ago and i can't work. for me to legally stay here i have to maintain my own lawful status until the i730 gets approved, thats what i thought but i found this .pdf file today googling. On 10.a of the file it say, "Therefore, unlawful presence does not accrue during the period that a bona fide I-589 or I-730 seeking asylum for a derivative remains pending, unless the derivative alien was employed without authorization in the United States during that same period." Does this mean, i don't have to go back to school? not that i don't like learning but at this point in my life i it's not feasible for me. can i just wait without going to school while my case is pending? please suggest

here is the link to the pdf file:

on hold

I have been in hold since 2007, I just found out am in hold last year. anyway, this post have some positive news. Next week am going to file service request. I hope some good news will happen.
 
Like Newton1 has already stated, they're still handing out 212.a.3.b. mails. So unless a few of us in here receive their approvals, I don't think we can afford to sit back and relax anymore. Lets give 'em about 2 more months.

And for those who've just received their approvals, its easy to ask others to calm down ( good on your part though ) but you have to understand that when there are over 6,000 other people placed on hold, it might take them a couple more years before they do anything about it.

Hence, if your case is strong then filing a Writ of Mandamus and suing them might just
 
The.Walker,

I still have pending I730s. I would just wait for the responses. I know they would be here soon as the processing is not done based on families but by individual cases.
