Can USCIS ask to do the medical tests (like fingerprinting) after I485 approval or during ADIT processing?

    My journey in US so far:
    1998 - 2003 (MS + Phd)
    2003 - 2005 (Employer A)
    2005 - 2006 (Employer B)
    2006 - 2009 (Employer C) --> filed my green card through this employer
    2009 - present (Employer D) --> switched jobs using AC21
    I probably should have applied earlier for green card but all is well that ends well. Looking forward to seeing more approvals and advancement of PDs in near future.

    Thanks
    I didn't submit them at all and that being the reason it is even more surprising.

    Veni,
    Thanks for the note. I think I am partly responsible for this delay as at the beginning I wasn't sure of staying in US for that long and wasn't too serious about applying for green card. Most of my fellow classmates have become US citizens quite a while back but well, that's life. Thankfully this long journey had a happy ending!

    Nishant your lawyer is 100% right. I NEVER had any difficulty whatsoever during GC or F1 or H1. In fact during one of my H1 stampings at Mumbai (oink oink) consulate, I didn't even have proper documentation. But the guy kept talking with me about phoenix weather and stamped it anyway.

    Believe it or not I also enjoyed the train! I just like the rush of it. I am from Pune but very much liked Mumbai for its industrious nature and super friendly people!!!

    Thank you Bieber (btw love your username)
    Thanks Pdmarch08,... you have an amazing sense of humor..love the aunty part.LOL!

    Fyi, This what I did after getting current in October:
    Oct 3: opened congressional enquiry
    Oct 6: got response that FBI clearance done, visas available, give them 30 days .
    Oct 13: opened SR with L2 officer.
    I don't know if doing any of above helped, maybe the approval was just random.
    But I suspect that it was the SR and not the congressman that might have helped because when I talked to the L2 officer, he didnt indicate that the files were with an adjudicating officer. He just said that the cases are under review and pending and visas are available.

    Congratulations to all who are greened. My pd is 06/25/07, today I spoke to usics and the officer said "This I 485 application has been placed on hold pending review and adjudication. You should receive some type of response within 2 to 3 months." I am wondering what is HOLD mean.

    Soni, It probably means ,it's at the adjudication service area pending review by a officer.Nothing to worry about in my opnion. I have read on Trackitt different L2 officers also give different stories. Were you able to open an SR with the L2 officer..?

    Got my card today. My case was actually approved on Oct 17 but I got decision email on Oct 19 and the card today
    The card actually looks blue instead of green

    dude I wouldn't mind him giving me anything, I will stretch out one arm, and in the other arm hand out the new COSTCO american express card

    have to say though that I am afraid of injections, it's been a long time.

    what not we did for GC, including getting stripped down and injected!

    I had a restless one last night, Nov 1 07 somehow was morphing into Nov 8 07, and I almost shrieked that Nooooo Make it Nov 15 07, I can't apply if it's 8.
    damn, need to take a break.

  21. #121
    LOL ! you guys are too funny.
    Soggadu, I'm imagining you as V man and LMAO ! I need to buy you that "cham-cham karta chamkeela wala Sippy-cup" It'll go very well with your V man persona.
    Nishant, I used to get exactly the same dream. Don't worry, buddy... you'll be current soon. Praying for you !!!!

    I dont know if I spoke to L2 officer but she said to wait for 2-3 moths. So I was unable to open a new SR.

    Soni, another thing you can do is a Senator/congressman enquiry. It's very easy to do and quite effective. If you look at Q's posts in this thread, he had done the same.

    Thanks to PenguinA on Trackitt, I gathered the following info to help me decide which congressman/ senator to chose:

    The very best and effective way to get a congressional inquiry is to go in person to their local office and meet the MAIN immigration caseworker who would be working in your case. Do not call ahead, show up unannounced. Have the release/privacy form ready( If one is not on the website, you can get one at their office ).Take your I-140 and I-485 copies. When you get there, just tell them you are a constituent and that you need to talk to their immigration caseworker to open a congressional inquiry with USCIS
    You have to pick among YOUR congressman/congresswoman and the two senators, see who is your representative: http://www.contactingthecongress.org/

    Once you see who represents you, look them up on the Antis website for their grades, the higher the grade, the more anti-immigrant, so try to go with the one who has lower grades: http://www.numbersusa.com/content/my/tools/grad...

    For eg ....They especially gave Sen. Carl Levin an F- because he did NOT vote to "Reduce Unnecessary Worker Visas." Meaning Levin supports EB skilled workers, and more visa numbers for us. So, he is definitely on our side. ..... the higher the grade your congressman/senator, the more anti-immigrant, the lower the grade, the better.

    Hope this helps. Please let me know, if you have any questions

    Got my card yesterday (Fri) within 3 days of the Decision/CPO email. Looks like they are pretty fast as far as delivering the actual card is concerned! Approvals are still coming in trackitt; so hopefully, people waiting in the queue will be greened soon.
