i had infor pass appointment this morning at 26 federal plaza which is actually few blocks away from my work. primarily i wanted to know about AP and they told me they can issue right away there if i bring 2 pic.
then i asked about 485 , IO told me its pending and i asked for names check. she told me FP were cleared in August but FBI name check is pending since last year.
here is the tricky part, i applied 1-140/1-485 last year in april and my 1-140 was denied which denied 1-485 so i did everything all over agin.
so i am thinking may be she was looking at last year name check request and not this year coz A# remains same. however i am totally confused about that
IOS are sitting on 3rd floor and think of them as DMV workers. you woud have to ask questions as they are lazy enough to spare any details, they are not rude though .
good luck
