My lawyer sent my 485 package to USCIS in Phoenix, I was wondering if it can be sent to other than TSC/NSC ?
I never heard of it, I've seen most of us in the forums referring to TSC or NSC.
Does any one know how this works?
Refer the following docuemnt:
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-485instr.pdf
my package has also gone to Phoenix, AZ
Checks made payable to department of homeland security. USCIS is under DHS. DOS is seperate entity. So money goes to DHS not DOS. USCIS is completely user fee funded, hence budget is always concern. Read:
http://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/A...html#0-0-0-280
Notice how thw theme is to not to waste resources and avoid unnecessary expense. We are afraid of RFEs but they also dont like sending them.
Now there are ways to increase revenue without simply raising fees or application intake.
Automation: Issuing FP notices, lockboxes scanning packet and streamlining intake, moving to e filing for forms instead of all manual, and so on
I may be current in next bulletin(PD Jan 9, 2009)..so trying to collect some of the information. (sorry to post here as the other thread has low visibility)
I’ve a question. We couldn’t find my wife’s birth certificate. So her parents tried to get a certificate from her native town. Here are the issues they are having
1) The certificate they can give is only in Local language (Marathi).
2) On the birth certificate there are two different names mentioned for her father ABC alias XYZ.
3) Also, on the birth certificate it will be mentioned that a girl baby is born. Her name won’t be mentioned, apparently since the name is decided later on that’s how the birth certificate was made.
Yes, we’ll make an affidavit but will 2) or 3) cause a big issue? Any resolutions that anyone can think of?
Also, if I get current in this(feb) bulletin I have to file my documents in month of Feb, will there be an issue If my wife travels to India this month and come back before Jan 31. She has a valid visa stamp on her passport so don't need any interview?
Thanks
It is referenced here in CM's blog:

No offense, but you posted after like 3 pages of discussion, hoorays, and yelling already! :D
On a side note, if these numbers are reported by DOS and not USCIS, why does Mr. CO go by these numbers and not based on what he knows from all the filings? I guess they purposely don't ask for all the available numbers immediately so they can "front-load" and help us out with EAD?
sdesh005,
Thanks, deleted my post.
Coming to your question, Its because of the processing times. As spec posted before, people opted for CP with PD 2008 can get GC in the next moth or two and most of the AOS filer should have to wait for months before receiving their approval!
I guess the time has run out for VB today. We are close to 4PM ET. It is a strange feeling - its the first time that I am actually within the realm of possibility for becoming current - the wait for VB feels so very different now.
I called up this number 2026631541
Dates are out.
Called 202-663-1541.

Congrats to Kanmani and others in 2009
The Department of State also has available a recorded message with visa cut-off dates which can be heard at: (202) 663-1541. The recording is normally updated by the middle of each month with information on cut-off dates for the following month.

EB2IC has indeed moved to Jan 1 2010. Congrats to everyone who became current :)
It is stated in the bulletin that, filings (not demand) are extremely low at USCIS.
It looks like the demand destruction is prominent atleast till March 2008, Next bulletin may see such rapid movement and Spec/Teddy/Veni needs to adjust the possible date of actual approval for fy2012 :)
OMG !!! I still cant believe i am current !!!
Finally after 5 years i will be able to go to India peacefully....
Oh man.........
just cant express my happiness....
Thanks guys.......

Congrats Kanmani and all!
First and foremost, heartfelt thanks to all contributors on this forum!
This is an exceptional forum with a very high Signal-to-Noise ratio and it has immensely helped me in understanding and navigating my personal situation. It also made me aware of other folks trials and tribulations. I am really amazed by the selflessness of the forum members. I congratulate everyone who is current in this bulletin and exhort them(especially myself) to take this opportunity by the horns and file all necessary paperwork without delay.
Congrats Kanmani Behen...enadhu vazhthukkal :) ....congrats to all others who became current
