This is a good news. :confused: However, there are some guys here with earlier ND that did not receive anything. Is BCIS repeating the same mistakes (randomly selection who to approve)??? :mad:

Congratulations to your friend!!!

However I have started feeling a bit discouraged about my own case (applied 3/99, fp 4/03 ...nothing thereafter). if there are any more approvals out there please share with the rest of the forum.
 
Hi Guys!
I feel there might be so many peopl who may have been approved but did not report here at the forum. They are not like Alepero, Jack and others who care for members so much. Once their case is approved they go away into their happy world.

Anyway, lets hope for better !

hope you are right :confused: Just sit tight and wait until October :D
 
GUYS, i find that the best way to deal with BCIS is to forget about them at all,
as I mentioned before, my RD 7/99 and ND 9/99. I called them when I saw the new process date move to 11/99. the operator siad that she submitted a request for Nebraska, and I should hear from them within 30 days. the 30days gone and obivously no answer, so I called again and here is guy tells me that they processing cases in April and he wouldn't do anything about my case, I tell him that they updated that in the website but he insists that this not rue, etc
bottom line they submitted another enquiry to nebraska and I have to wait another 30 days.
I decided to forget about them and wait until I get something in the mail from them.
does anyone has a better solution:mad:
 
agree

Go back to the old INS statistics to see of the number of asylum grants issued in 1998 and 1999 and you will conclude that the new dates are odd. I just do not think your turn is here yet (I hope I wrong, you know).
 
Another way to find out what applications they are currently approving is by periodically checking online the status of cases randomly selected.
When I was waiting for my I-485 approval, I had identified like 20 applications with LIN numbers before mine, and I used to periodically check their status.
At that time there was not online check, so I got the numbers from the NSC automated phone system. It was a time consuming process, but now everything is easier with online status check system.
Now you can identify applications with approval pending from online status check system and keep track of when they are being approved. It is still time consuming, but the best source to really know what applications they are approving or asking for RFE

still waiting the approval, is there anyone else who applied on or before 10/98.

Good luck to everyone.
 
Yes, there are those worse off. Don't feel discouraged. As I posted already on a few occasions, my husband applied in January 1997 and just did his fingerprints in August. I applied in June 1998 (just received approval in the last week in August). My friend applied in October 1997, still no word, not even fingerprints.
Hope this makes you feel better and not alone.

Thank you for the update i feel better now. do you have any idea how the nebraska service works, do they process the cases in order or randomly.

Thanks.

Who knows man ... we had some conflicting info in this forum. Some people back with ND in 98 did not get approved, but some people with ND in 99 got approved. Go figure what to think at this point. It looks like that BCIS is back to the same practice as before, approving randomly :confused:

Is your husband represented by an attorney?
 
They do not approve them randomly. They process as per the filing date. The system is not perfect though.
Cases are initially processed by the date they were filed; however, not all the cases can be approved at the same pace. Each case is a different story and might require request of different RFE demanding different processing time.
If you have filed in 1998 and havent received anything from them, you need to contact BCIS. Here some options
Check the status of your case online
Call BCIS to make sure they have the right address and to know status of application
Sent a letter to them
Contact your Congress person and ask him/her to find out why you havent received anything back from BCIS
You got to do something, not just wait to hearing back from them.
Good luck

to answer gilbert's question. my husband is not represented by an attorney nor is his case special in any way (to make one think that something might be wrong). he was granted asylum in late 1995 (without any problems) and applied for adjustment in December 1996 (notice January 1997). he has made many useless trips to our local office over the years, wrote letters to everyone but God, made calls to everyone but God, and every time was told to wait, that everything was fine.
if you remember, back then all asylees adjusting their status had to be interviewed. he's one of them. he had his interview in October 1997 and after that one long period of nothingness till about a month ago when he finally received a letter in the mail asking him to take fingerprints. do you know if those who had their interviews are somehow spared requests for additional evidence? is their situation different in any way. if anything, shouldn't it be easier for them.

why do you ask about the attorney? do you think it would have made a difference. it sickens me if that's the case. i mean, to spend thousands to have someone fill out a few meaningless pages of an application (especially when you have a wife who practically grew up here). well, in any case, i just worry now that the next step will take forever because as i've learned from this forum, some people wait even a year after fingerprinting.
oh, enough of my complaining. i just wish i could help him somehow.

No, their situation is the same, they should be approved based on filing date. In this case, the INS local office had to transfer the case to NSC, by the beginning of 2002.
Jack, a senior member of this forum, went through the same process. He also filed at local INS office and got his approval early this year.
The system is not perfect, unfortunately. There are cases that should have been approved a while ago but are still pending.
It seems to me that in this case the local office didnt transfer the case to NSC timely.
The fact that he got a FP notice is certainly a good new, means that NSC has the file and they are working on it.
I went through the whole process without attorney.
Good luck
 
Members of the American Immigration Lawyer Association have a back-channel to reach supervisors at each BCIS office. They are supposed to use the system only if the situation is very very unusual. An asylee case filed in 97 should certainly qualify.

If he were represented, then his lawyer should use the system to see what in the world is going on.
 
Members of Congress could also reach responsible people at the BCIS. And their service is free. Some members are better than others. I would give it a shot too.
