I am no Terrorist, any advice?

Somebody told me recently that if we keep on calling the toll free customer service number, that might help in accelerating the case, is it true? And somebody told me again that if we keep on calling, they will have restriction in your case that you will not be able to call for next 6 months....... any idea guys????
 
Does this mean, USCIS is trying to get off all the cases by the end of 2011..........???? This is not bad, when we have waited for sooooo long, waiting for 6 more months is not really a big deal, I guess. Its better later than never.

Does the change of country condition affect the approval process? I know that a lot of people have been waiting for many years. During this waiting period, a lot of changes might have happen in the COP. Did USCIS deny any application because of a change of condition?

Answer to question 1 (NO)
Answer to question 2 (NO)
Thanks for the link, I hope this bill will pass soon.
 
It's been awfully quite out here. It's been over a month. Seems none of us has any thing to report. Well take this as a 'greetings'. Hope there is good news around the corner.
 
Hey,
I just have a question to the audience. I was granted Asylum since October 2009 and consequently I submitted I-730 for my family members ( wife and kids who are still in Africa). Since then only my daughter has been approved in April 2011. I did received a lot of emails from USCIS talking about material support , the section 212 bla bla bla .
My question is : It has been 2 years since I was granted asylum and I would like to applied for a green card or change of status. Would my application or ultimately my obtention of the GC change the conditions of my still-pending I-730 ? in other words , would I need to submit i-130 if granted the GC or the I-730 would still be valid ? My intention is to possibly take advantage of the clock toward my citizenship. Thank you in advance for your help.

Hi Everybody,

I got an email from Melanie stating that USCIS has a meeting September 13, 2011. Hope she will have good news for us. On her Last email she mentions that USCIS had made significant progress towards issuing exemptions for many countries and also that their goal is to get all of the cases off hold by the end of 2011


Good luck! Keep praying

Hello

Here what I got from Melanie, I hope that will helps
Below is the response from USCIS at this week’s meeting. There is a concern that although the IPC, which is the government’s working group responsible for recommending exemptions, has made and plans to make additional recommendations for exemptions, the Secretary of Homeland Security has taken a very long time to sign exemptions (and in fact there are several that are pending with her and have been for quite a while). We’re planning some events this fall to put some pressure on the Secretary so she signs the exemptions quickly, please stay in touch.
imeline: Does DHS believe that the timeframe previously announced for clearing all cases on hold as of May 2010 by the end of 2011 will be met?
v Yes. There have been 14,000 exemptions to date, and are currently approximately 4,000 cases on hold. The exemptions currently before the IPC should clear out the remainder of the cases.

[Excellent information, I emailed her but did not get any thing in return.
Thanks HBA]
