TSC Consolidated 485 Tracker

New system of January 3rd

Man, you are doomed... A friend of mine lost his passport and filed a police report as required for the lost documents. His passport has never been found or returned to him, although he got a new one without a tiniest problem and travels using it ever since, but nevertheless he's now stuck in name check...
Looks like these days even such a small thing (or even a traffic ticket) can get one stuck.
My take on it - the moment processing date is more then 30 days later then your receipt date - file the WOM.
That's the only way to go. Meanwhile, I'm going to write to my Congressman asking to verify that my name check has not cleared yet using the new system they have introduced on January 3rd.

Azazello,

What new system of January 3rd are your referring to? Do you have a link you can share?

Thanks.
 
Yes. Don't lose the AP document. :rolleyes:

I'll try to dig it out. It has been on this forum, I just do not remember exact topic. In a nutshell: USCIS has promised to put in place an internal computerized tracking system for FBI namechecks with an option for a Congressperson to access it on request of a constituent.
 
Hi Guys,

I am new to this forum. I have few question:

Here is my current status from USCIS website:
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Case received and pending.

My case under EB2 category is current and overduefor more than 2 months almost. TSC is processing July 17,2006 cases.

Based on the information from this forum, I contact USCIS and somehow got connected to information department. They repeated the same information as available online and did not provide any further information.

She mentioned that she will send a referral to Texas centre to provide some update to me in next 30 days. She said she don’t have any further information about my case. She was asking if I was interviewed by any local immigration staff. I said I was not interviewed. I donot know if interview is needed. She just took my details and told me that she had successfully sent the referral to Texas centre.

Is this normal? How to speak to TSC? Whats is LUD? How to know if case is struck in namecheck or FBI, whch I hope not :)? Anyone received approval after May 25,2006 PD date?

Labor PD: June 2002
PD: I-485 May 25,2006
EB-2
FP: June 2006
EAD/AP received

I know they take some time to approve Spouse's Card after primary approval. In my case its been more than 2 months and the dates (both PD and RD) are favourable to us. Is anyone else in the same boat..??????

Please respond

I am in the same boat, mine what approved in 26 days, I am still waiting for my Wife's GC, my lawyer even asked TSC about her case and they refused to take any action because her PD is not current. They just said is pending for a decision, everything looks OK.

Of course I will be careful and will not lose it.

But my questions are

1) Should I be able to use my current AP for multiple entries?
2) is it safe to apply for renewal during the travelling or before travelling outside US or should I apply once I am back in USA

Thanks,
neargc

(1) Yes you can use AP for multiple entries. Just make sure the immigration officer stamps your AP and passport when you re-enter the US. It's good to document your travel that way.
 
reply from USCIS

I had my lawyer contact USCIS to query my status on Dec 5, 2006. Total I got a reply letter from USCIS. The answer is somehow surprised to me. The told me “ our review indicates that this is actually within our processing time. They regret any misunderstanding. “ My 485 RD is May 2, 2006. According to the processing time published by UICIS on Dec 5, 2006, the processing time for 485 is June 1, 2006. I am just 30 days outside the processing date. Actually, the letter was wrote on Jan 10, 2007, the 485 processing date was already moved forward to Jun 15, 2006 per the processing date released on Dec. 18, 2006. The latest TSC processing date was already July 17, 2006.

I didn’t know if the letter gave a good indication because they never mentioned security check issue? I had infopass on Dec 12, 2006 also. The local immigration official told me I am stucking in name check. Did the letter mean the name-check is complete?

Had anybody have similar experience? Please advise the indication. Thanks
 
TSC I-485 processing flow ?

The following is purely my imagination:

1. Receive application
2. Send FP notice, send FP info to FBI.
3. Send info to agencies for background check.
4. if ( background check & FP cleared )
{
process the application regardless of
I-485 RD date. This is how people with
RD Oct'06/Nov'06 got approval .
}
else
{
if ( I-485 RD is note yet in processing time range )
{
do nothing
}
else
{
process the application and wait for the name check.
}
}


I hope 4th step else part is not like the following,

4. if ( background check & FP cleared )
{
process the application regardless of
I-485 RD date. This is how people with
RD Oct'06/Nov'06 got approval .
}
else
{
do nothing
}
 
Finally card mailed

Finally I got a a message last night saying that the card was mailed. I have not received the approval or the welcoming notice yet, but I was happy to see that they mailed the cards.

HI,
I noticed that your RD is just around their processing date but not exceed 30 days. Did you find it helpful to call TSC? Did they tell you stuck in name check or some other information? Would you mind share with us. Thanks!

antonioa77, I noticed you have the same RD for I-485 as mine. I haven't had any LUDs since then, though I had FP in between.

How did you determine that your case is stuck in namecheck?

Updated Tracker

Before the "stuck in name check" posting frenzy took hold of this thread there was an Excel tracker that manishg_in was updating for a while.

The last post of the Tracker Excel spreadsheet I could find was in post #2179 on Dec 2, 2006. (Almost 700 posts ago...)

I have updated it with a few of the approvals from people on this thread. I also added a column for RFE and response dates.

Anyone else want to add/update their data to this spreadsheet?
(If people add their data then it could help everyone with some statistical data..)

Contacting my district Congressman

Hi all,

I am seeking your advice here. Considering that my case has been pending for about four month and half, and also considering that the "RFE received" message which my online profile shows, asks specifically to call USCIS and inquire about the progress, how do you recommend asking my district congressman to do the inquiry?

I talked to a TSC customer service and she said they are waiting for the security checks to be done. However, there have been people here who called different times and got different answers on their clearance. I myself think that if the congressman office is wiling to do it for me, they will probably get a more credible reply. What do you think?

Thanks
