I spoke to my lawyer yesterday and received some news on fax inquiries. I don't know if most of you are aware of it, but I am putting it here all the same.
1. RFE fax inquiry- Previously fax inquiries could be made 60 days after RFE's were recd. by the INS. This has now changed to 90 days.
2. Because of the delay in approvals, INS has also stipulated this on their agenda- anyone whose finger prints are 90 days within expiring (currently FP's are valid for 15 months), can send a fax inquiry to check on the status of their case. This gives the INS a chance to act on such cases, to avoid themselves overheads of re-issuing FP notices and going through the whole background check chaos.
My lawyer sent a fax inquiry for me based on 2 above since my FP expires in April ( I'm WAC 02-034). I will keep this board posted on any progress that the inquiry makes. Incidentally, 60 days on the receipt of my RFE are up at the end of this month as well, but there's not much I can do about it right now other than wait......
