January 2010 Filers, post here

Dude,

If that's the case, take an infopass and see if you can "initiate" a meeting. I am not sure even if you can do something like this, but if you cannot at-least the officer will issue you an AP. That way she can fly and you can reschedule the appt if it arrives while she is away. I am sure USCIS IO process accommodates valid reasons.

Thank you so much Dude,

I am planning to take an Infopass next week and hopefully IO will considermy case sympathtically.
I am sorry, for bugging you all.

Hi All-

My wife (USC) applied green card (AOS) for my Mother-in-law (she is here in US) in end of Jan-2010. We received FP notice and she completed it. However we received RFE for Birth Certificate which we replied back.

Now the online status say the "On March XX, 2010, we received your response to our request for evidence. This case is being processed at our NATIONAL BENEFITS CENTER location."

Is this common to transfer cases to NBC?

Thanks

SK

The National Benefits Center (NBC) used to be called the Missouri Service Center (MSC). So if your receipt starts with MSC then it had been assigned to NBC at the start. All family based AOS applications are sent to the Chicago Lockbox which is basically an intake center. A majority of the cases are then transfer to NBC. Our case was handle by NBC and a majority of others also are handled by NBC.

Hi,

I did it on my own for one reason. Everything I did thru a lawyer was a huge mistake. I have used 3 lawyers since I came to US for different cases. I HAVE LOST MY LEGAL STATUS because one of them didn't file a petition on time some 7 years ago. I'm not saying that every lawyer is the same but in my case all of the three made simple and stupid mistakes that could be easily avoided.

I think she would let you have your SSN if you had your passport. Not sure tho! What is your timeline, i applied the first week of January and no EAD yet.
 
For my Wife:

USC Sponsoring Wife:

Here is the timeline:

On 18th March 2010, on checking the status of my case, On I-765 application status, it is showing as Document Production or Oath Ceremony. But today ( March 24 2010) the status was updated with today's date and it showing as on I-765, " On March 23, we ordered production of new card. Pl allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you". Can anyone explain, is there any difference of meaning on the messages as of 18th March and 23rd March 2010.

EAD Card received in Mail on March 27 2010.

Just wanted to share with you all.

Good Luck for all.


Thanks
Narayan
