Inquiry form

No Title

Thanks a lot, An.
I got the form. However, it says for I-551. Is that OK to use to ask for I-485 application status? Thanks again in advance.

i know about this from this post by Aniruddha/GCWaiter:
http://www.immigrationportal.com/WebX?13@@.ef11403/1
it is also on Ciba\'s website.
I am thinking of doing the same if my FP notice does not show up in a few more weeks.
i am copying the post below for easy reference. Good Luck.

My ND for I-485 (AOS) was October 20th, 2000 (same as my AP and EAD).
   I received my AP and EAD timely. However, I did not receive my
   FP notice. I tried to call IIO at CSC and was not lucky enough
   to get through even for a single time. At the beginning of March,
   I ran out of patience. (I thought my FP notice might have been
   lost in mail or misplaced). I went to local INS office at
   Reno. My intension was to convince them and do the FP right at
   that moment (without a FP notice). Obviously, they declined.
   However, the officer gave me a form to launch a formal Inquiry
   for my FP notice. The form is G-731C (Rev. 10/06/99). The page
   one of the form is for General Inquiry and the page two of the
   form is for Inquiry regarding Permanent Resident Card, I-551.
   I filled out the page one of the form. There is a column on
   Type of Inquiry. I checked the "other" column and wrote a small
   note by the side of it. I wrote "I have not received Finger Print
   notice yet". I mailed that with a self addressed stamped envelope.
   With in four days I received the formal reply from INS CSC. (It was
   not the Inquiry form that I sent them.) It said my I-485 application was pending. In the other section it said "If you did not receive the Finger Print Notification due to your change of address or other reasons, you may have your fingerprints taken at a local INS
   Application Support Center (ASC) within hours of operation. .....
   You must bring with you this letter and ...... ( align registration
   card or Photo ID)." From that point everything went as expected.
   By the way, I received my approval after 14 days of my Finger
   Print.
_______________________________

I would like to add couple of things in response to your questions.

1. We filled up two of those forms, one for me and one for
my wife.

2. For my case with I-485, applicant and beneficiary is the same person, myself. I did NOT have any lawyer. So, I am not sure, if
you have one what would be the case. You might ask Ciba on that.

3. I left blank in the Service Response column. INS is supposed
to fill that up. Again, in my case they send their reply in a
different paper.

I hope it helps. I certainly do not mind to share my experience.
