Improving Existing Immigration

22. The Administration Will Reform And Expedite Background Checks For
Immigration. Current mechanisms for conducting immigration background
checks are backed up, slowing processing times and endangering national
security. The Administration is investing substantial new funds to
address the backlog, and the FBI and USCIS are working together on a
variety of projects designed to streamline existing processes so as to
reduce waiting times without sacrificing security.

I saw someone posted the First Lady address, but lost it. Could someone tell me here? Also, I want to write a letter to FBI to let them know I have very clean records, but not sure what the FBI address. Could someone help me here too?


First Lady Laura Bush
The White House

Washington, DC 20500
 
USCIS proposed to use portion of the fee increases on speeding up FBI name check - FBI also announced a fee increase they charge to USCIS and other paying customers - so hopefully this time something will happen.

Hi Zgreen,

Can you post the link to the page you read this from?

Thank you
 
It was in the 2007 Ombudsman's Annual Report. The first link in my sig has a link near the bottom of the page to the PDF document. This information is on page 41.

Hi Zgreen,

Weird Message

I got status change on my approved I-485(approved on Mar 8, 2007) on Aug 10. I am not able to understand, what this message means. Please guys help.

Here is the message:
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.

The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done, counting from when USCIS received it. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. To receive e-mail updates, follow the link below to register.
 
Your case is already approved and you have your card in your hand. There should be no more "processing" needed except for, say, some possible archiving work for old cases or like that. Sounds like it's simply due to their error (whats new about it). I wouldn't worry much about it if I were you -- I would just call TSC (or go to infopass if it isn't time-consuming) to make doubly sure it's an error, just in case.

manishg_in,
Did you received the Card production ordered and approval email/paper notice anytime..?
 
Maybe they just want to approve you twice :) Seriously though, I think it is either a simple error on the side of USCIS, or some kind of administrative work that triggered a LUD but they selected the wrong option to display. Many people saw LUDs on their already approved cases in late July, but this is the first time I heard about a message change.

LUD on approved I-140... again

I noticed again a new LUD on my already approved I-140. May have been due to data entry of I-485? I hope so. We'll see if I get a receipt any time soon.
