We never had flu shots.I checked Medicals form now, it is marked "not age appropriate". My TB skin test was positive and X-ray was normal. It is marked so in the form.

It looks like it largely depends on who picks the file and how the officer interprets the rules.

This person has a PD of Mar 11, 2008 got 485 approved. This is insane speed by TSC. At this speed, everybody with PD prior to mar 15, 2008 (dec filing) will get approved.

Thanks needid you are right they are individuals at the end of the day. Some of them can be a bit lenient some will follow the rule to its end.

The person with RD Nov 8 just got greened (got emails earlier today). My friend with RD Nov 1 got RFEs for both himself and his wife couple of days back (don't know the reason yet). I (RD Nov 1) and my other friend with RD Nov 4 are still waiting for some kind of activity.

The 4 of us have pretty much identical profiles. Came to US in 2002 to do Masters (same major, same university). Started working as contractor at the same company in 2005. Got hired as Full-Time regulars at the same company in 2007. And, the lawyers sent the same list of documents for all of us.

Lets see how this plays out.

FYI: my friend who got an RFE got the actual notice yesterday - Feb 11 (SMS notification came on Feb 8). And they have been asked for their Birth Certificates (even though they were included in the application packet).

Seems quite common.i got my receipts a few days ago and same case.

PD: Feb 2009 || RD:02-Feb-2012 || ND: 07-Feb-2012 || FP:

It may well be a small thing for you like pay stubs / tax return, DL copy etc.

Thanks Q. Hope its simple for us

Tackle - Did your friend get a copy directly or it was mailed from his attorney

Sorry to hear bro... hope it's something silly.

My PD got current in Feb 2012, my lawyer submitted papers on 3rd Feb. No receipt notice from USCIS yet. Is it normal delay? How much time it usually takes? I have seen some Feb filers updating their profiles with RDs & NDs so just wanted to check.
Thanks!

Got Receipts? (only we both know the pun :) )


http://www.uscis.gov/lockboxtips

I think give it till like monday tuesday two days more, and then from above link, see how to contact lockbox.

friends, I noticed many of you getting approved. Congratulations, and may the party continue.

Thanks Kanmani,
My wife is a dependent on the application. Will she be getting the physical notice at home address? Will the Lawyer getting my receipts? Sorry for asking such ignorant questions:)

Totally:)
How are things going? Thanks for all your help and expert advise!

Have your checks been cashed? That would tell you that things are moving. My RD is Feb-07 and my checks hit my bank account on Feb-10.

Teddy, I guess it should be your EVL. If I am right your attorney used the same letter that was used for I-140. My guess is IO is looking for a most recent one. I am sure it will be an easy one. Goodluck and hold your faith.

Sogaddu bhai...you are a good man.

My application was sent on 2/1/12 and I got receipt mails from USCIS on Saturday 2/11/12 at my home address. Yes, I got 8 separate envelopes - 3 for myself, 3 for my wife and 2 for my daughter ( aos, ead, ap - no ead for daughter)

My attorney mailed the AOS applications on 2/3 and I am waiting for the receipt notices at this point. Will update once I receive the receipts (hopefully sometime next week).

From trackitt posts it appears that TSC is faster generating receipts. May be because of more staff.

Did you see a status update like evidence received by USCIS. Mostly the turnaround by them after the evidence is quick.

---

One of my colleague received RFE for Birth Certificate and time to respond is 84 days. I received RFE, on 02/07 and till now, my attorney doesn't know what the RFE is about and in couple of days I am returning to US. I hope everybody gets simple RFE's in case if they get (I don't want to say stupid RFE's even though most of us look at them in that way).

He got them directly.

To all those people who got RFEs, hopefully it is something really simple. Hmmm... and then there are Nov filers such as tackle and myself who are still waiting. It was interesting to see Spec's numbers in the predictions thread. Only 30% of Nov filers from NSC and 18% from TSC on trackitt have been approved!!
