Here are Anya et al's update posts in the old thread, just to make it easier to track.
We have some good news the last few weeks. Here is an updated sheet.

Thanks for the update of the excel sheet. FP1 and FP2 are done for my self and my wife and not for my kids.
That means USCIS is neither waiting for new visa numbers to available in Oct-2007 nor it has ignored our derivative cases. It is some thing else which has stopped these cases from the approvals.
In the scenario like this, is it good idea to call USCIS or not!

Wow - thank you for that thread - so kind of you to take the time, it is comforting to know, however disturbing it is that it exists...that we are all in the same sitution of waiting and learning a great lesson in patience!

I would try calling next week to see where the cases are in the process... especially as I noticed it, in another thread you mentioned you'd received strange mails (?) so you might want to check if they were something about the kids' or simple errors. Be patient... there should be no real reason to hold kids.
 
I have seen there are lot of ppl like me, primary approved and derivative waiting. add me to the list.

Here is our info

PD: Dec 30 2004 (Physical Therapist /EB3)
485 Received Date: Dec 30 2004
485 Notice Date: Jan 11 2005
Primary Security/Name Clear: May 2007
Derivative Security/Name Clear: Sep 2006
Primary transferred to TSC: Dec 2006
Secondary tansferred to TSC: May 2007
Primary approved: July 12th 2007
Derivative (me): Still waiting

Please answer my concerns.

I made Congressmen inquiry, TSC comes back saying its pending. Is this valid as the primary is approved and the derivative is not adjudicated though the security check is cleared, I mean there is no reason why it should be pending.

I went to info pass the lady says she has no idea why mine is not approved and she sent a email/inquiry to TSC to look into the matter where the primary is approved and the derivate not. So the info pass is useless?

Is my visa number is still subject retrogression? ( I mean once the primary is approved, dont they have to adjudicate mine?). Basically can they say 'yours is not current'?

Finally what do I do now to expedite my adjudication?

Thanks a lot

I went to infopass today, lady was co-operative she send email to TSC about the status of my son card production and my spouse pending application. She also told that everything is clear on my spouse application don't know why they are holding the approval. About my son biometrics, she said he may not get one, but he may get card in one month.

She told us to visit after a week, since they will respond to her in 5 business days, don't know how far this will work.
 
Hi smile_all (and sarwarmd)

I'll add your case later. It would help, as sarwarmd suggested, if you can create a signature that includes your case information and keep updating it.

(sarwarmd, I'll remove the FP info from your entry. Thanks. I hope you'll receive FP notice for the kids soon).

Now here are my 2 cents for smile_all

Well, that's why this thread is running... seriously, we would expect that normally the primary/derivative(s) will be approved at the same time. But technically that does not have to be the case, because each I-485 is independent, whether it's the primary's or derivative's. They are reviewed independently, and adjudicated/denied independently (except that the derivatives' approvability depends on the primary's).

So, take my own case for example. My spouse got approved seven months after my own approval. There was no issue whatsoever with her case. Her security check got cleared last October and her case was "preadjudicated" when we checked in early March (but probably since much earlier). There was no real reason they had to hold her case. But they did. So there must be some other factors into the equation (in our specific case we suspect it had to do with DOS being stingy authorizing numbers first half of the fiscal year).

I know derivatives waiting longer than my spouse.

I am not sure what you mean by "useless." Infopass officers don't have power to expedite, let alone adjudicate, cases pending at TSC. But it is a good thing they sent an inquiry to TSC anyway. You should definitely keep track and ask for a response.

Yes, it is.

There is no real way to do that, unfortunately... all we are trying is writing, calling, to every people even marginally concerned. Ultimately, there is WOM (you can search it in the forums here).

But if everything is clear with your case, then hopefully you may hear good news by the end of the fiscal year (CIS does not want to waste numbers).
 
I hope that will facilitate the processing of her case! It's with an officer now, and there is no reason they have to delay her case any longer (unless the officer reviewing the case is a snail in the guise of human being). Keep us posted.

Is it due to different last names

Hi geofu54/All,
I really thank and appreciate all your help. There is one thing in my case. My kids are not using any of my names in their names. Does it cause any issue while processing the case! My kids are having a common last name but that is not from my names. I just gave them one family title which I liked.
 
For me, it's hard to believe that causes any real issue, as long as those names are their legal names that consistently appear on your home country's official documents (e.g., birth certificate) and as long as your family relationship is also officially documented. I guess each country has its own family law that regulates acceptable ways of naming kids or changing/maintaining parents' family names, as well as its own naming customs... so it's hard to believe the kids not having your name means a problem.

Hi smile_all

It's impossible your PD and I-485 RD are the same... what is your PD? Anyway, I've added your case.
