Hi folks,
I am in the same boat as several others. I am a USC and had applied for my parents greencard - I130, I485, Travel documents etc. I had mailed on July 27 and it reached the Chicago center on the 30th. Till date I have not recieved anything - no receipt date, no notice date, no checks cashed - NOTHING.

I am starting to get worried about a couple of things

1) My parents came on a 6 month visitor visa. We applied for their green cards on their 3rd month here, based on the opinions shared here. What if I do not get the receipt number or notice date for another month. Am I pushing it too close. Should I apply for their extension of stay? I heard that you do not need to file for their extension once they have the petition. Is just USPS tracking number considered sufficient or am I taking a risk

2) What if they find issues in the application and send them back. Do I have to restart and pay all the new fees or would I get grandfathered in to the prior to July 30th fees.

I am just appaled at the glacial pace at which things are with INS. With global warming it should be faster - right :-)

Help me out guys...

Thanks
Ramesh
 
A lot of people here who filed even before you hasn't received anything so don't worry too much. Now, if they find issues in the application i believe they will send an RFI or RFE if you missed something that they require unless it's something really important like the medicals *may* cause the application to be denied but they may still just issue an RFE for it. And if the application is sent back and tagged as denied then yeah you will have to restart application and pay the new fees.

There are a lot of people here who can answer your questions better but that is what I know :)
