you guys are lucky dogs!!!
you should have hire the lawyer i wasted some time in hiring the lawyer she was good i think i took right decision my cousin told me to hire one cauz he did not hire and his case took two years to get green card i paid almost 2000 which hurts but it pays in the end you have rfe which will waste more that 2 to 3 months so if you have lawyer you dont get rfe's and you can imagine if you work those three months how much you save plus on top that what you are going through only you can feel it ....we were in the same boat but when everyone else get the ead you dont it really hurt well keep your finger crossed i got my ead after 10 years i know how it feels anyway dont loose your hope ............
I just noticed I have LUD's for both I-130 and I-485 with yesterday's dates, but there is no change in Current Status for either one (it still says "Case received and pending" and "On September 10, 2008, we received, etc etc"). Hope it's a good sign, but I can't stop wondering what exactly the update was...
Dude,
I hired a lawyer for my case but still got the RFE. I paid 2500 to him. I think it is all luck. I do have a lawyer and he also opened a service request for me.
you guys are lucky dogs!!!
IGG : yeah but that plastic card helps you to get a decent job. I still have visa for next 4years so deportation is out of questions. I am not stressed at all. I know it will come in 2-3 weeks but sooner is better.
GC2008: I have not received any word after service request. It has been more than a week since I made request.
Hi bearcat82,
Don't worry. For my AP, they updated last week and shows case received and pending. I received my AP Saturday but it still shows case received and pending. So i think your case is approved and card production ordered.
I don't know how you can think that RFE's don't matter... If that is something else your lawyer has told you then I recommend doing some research on your own before insulting the people that work for USCIS. You can also look around this site to see just how good a lot of lawyers are. Be patient and it'll come eventually. Sheesh...
RFE'S dont matter trust me,and they dont slow your process these USCIS fools approve who they want to and keep some unfortunate people hanging, some IO with a big belly is too lazy to look at your case and keeps on delaying it..some IO's act fast , reminds me of myself when I was a kid would keep my homework till the last day, while some of my friends would get done with it first day and go out and play , thats what happens . This is how the USCIS works , lawyers dont matter its just about getting the right people to look in to your case we cant control that, it just depends on pure luck.
