Name Check cleared but....

[CurrentInJun07]

Folks,

My PD is Aug 2003 (EB2) and yesterday I found out that my Name check was cleared (from infopass appnt.) . I was also told that the immigration officer to whom the case was assigned has time until Dec. 20th to make a decision. I am hoping that officer can make the decision this month, so I can get the visa number.


Could somebody advice if I can do something to get the officer to make the decision this month?

If the officer makes the decision next month, would a visa number be still allocated for me?

Thanks in advance for any help.

Did you, during your conversation with IO, trigger a discussion about visa number being assigned to your case?

In one of my guess-theory, I noted that CIS requests DOS for a visa number for a specific 485 application. Once the request is fulfilled by DOS, CIS "tags" the application with the visa number. There is a possibility that your application could have gone through this process already and assigned a visa number. If so, It's the turn of immigration/verification officer to validate your application, issue RFE if need be, and approve/disapprove GC by Dec 20.

To know whether this theory is valid is difficult. One way is to ask IO whether a visa number has been assigned to your case. If yes, there exists no reason why you should not receive a GC even in Dec when dates are retrogressed back to 2002.

Good luck.

Thanks for the response.

I did tell the IO that I was concerned that I am not current next month. She said it doesn't matter as I already applied. Not sure what she meant by that.

In the print out she showed me, it shows some activity on Nov. 12th. Not sure what it is. (My name check was cleared on Oct. 31st). I don't have any LUDs since my finger print date.
