My I-485 status changed from "Acceptance" to "Card/Document Production" on 9/6/2013 but my wife's online status still shows as in "Acceptance". Since my RD is 8/6/2013. Can I open SR to check on status of my wife's I-485 application?

    Thanks
    Chikki77,

    In my opinion, you can not open a SR since your wife's case has not exceeded the current processing time of 4 months for i-485 processing.

    Hello Gurus,
    I called the L2 they said it is in the background chk....( again?) becaz my first fbi fingerprinting was more than 15 months...pls share u r thoughts...am i on track to get green? Thanks in advance.

    engineer AFAIK background check is a one time affair. Within 15 months duration - they won't be doing it twice. So more than likely they never completed background check on your application and have taken it up now.

    What's your PD country category?

    The only thing I can think of is that probably they took up your application for processing now. Background check usually won't repeat within a span of 15 months. So this is the very first time you are being processed.

    If this is true (ie. USCIS has to do Background Checks again if Finger-Printing was done 15 months back), USCIS has to do Background Check again for anyone who had their Finger Printing done in or before Apr 2012.

    As far as I can tell, Background Checks is the one thing that could easily vary between applicants. So, if it took several months for Background Check to be completed for an applicant the first time around, then I'd think it'd take the same length of time this time as well.

    So, for someone who missed the boat last time due to pending Background Check, the chances that someone would get greened this year would be slim.

    What makes it even hard is that there is no way for one to know why they missed the boat when the dates were current last time. So, all we can do is just sit and wait.

    When I spoke with a L2 officer he told me that I was pre adjudicated last April and currently my case is being assigned to an officer. I completed my FP in feb 2012. Do I have to wait for another round of clearance. With each passing day I am losing hope. I thought I would get GC week one if not day one.

    I spoke to L2 officer and she said my case was preadjucated and assigned to officer for review.
    Any thoughts on how long it will take from the time it assigned to officer.any chance of file being left out even at this stage with the reason of visa number non availability.

    do they assign the visa number before the officer review or after the completion of final review ?

    And also with the Oct bulletin also become current for June 2008, Is FY 2013 Spillover going be used in October month also even though it falls under FY 14 ?

    I certainly hope not. I'm on the same boat as you. Actually, come to think of it, I don't think I'm even on a boat. I have no idea what is up with my application.

    I got the exact same feeling after I spoke with the L2. He did not give me any information and felt lost after talking to him. Did you get an RFE in June. He said that officer is looking into my RFE response.

    Yes, I did get the RFE on Jun 14. My company lawyers responded on Jun 19. Waited for 60 days and nothing happened. So, I called USCIS on Aug 21 and they opened an SR as my case was outside of normal processing times. Called last friday to check if SR was assigned to an officer (as it was 15 days since SR was opened) and was told by L1 that the SR was assigned to an officer who had already sent a response stating that my file has been requested and that I should hear something back from them within 90 days.

    I hope you don't have to wait as long as I did. All the best!

    ...................

    By the time I did the FP on scheduled day, the date was already retro... So I am not sure If my Background check was done last year. your comment about anyone with FP done prior to April 2012 needs to redo; that raised the question about when the FP is done that is just the start of background check..doing the FP doesn't mean the background check is completed on that day itself. It has to go to FBI and then their system, so it may take days, weeks or months who knows. So depending on when it is completed (no on knows . except FBI and USCIS) it shouldn't trigger the check again.

    feel free to comment..

    Tackle - I'm really surprised that you have not received your approval yet. Rooting for yours, as much as mine. Good luck to all of us!

    Yes, I'm also one of the God's chosen - mass RFE receipient and a TSC applicant. Are you going by Trackitt posts? When I checked this morning, there was only one approval that fell into the bucket and very few approvals overall. Am glad if that has changed.

    Yes. There were a couple more which gives me hope. Users SA2012, sfbingo, test515 (although his PD is Dec 21, 2007), PradeepIndia and 07312007 all received approvals today after responding to mass RFE on June 14. Let's hope our turn comes soon!

    Dude, really sorry for you. You have been waiting for way too long, even among us Indians who have all waited far too long. Rooting and praying for you to get your approval in the next couple of days!

    I was able to raise a SR and they told me that I should hear something by Sept 26. After 26 there are only 2 processing days. L2 did not want to reveal anything other than just wait. I have a conference call with my attorney tomorrow but I am sure he will say the same thing. If I miss the boat I really do not know when will the window open and even if it opens am I ever getting it since I do not the status of my application.

    I do not know where is this coming from. "Hardly any approvals" ???

    There have been 266 approvals for Sept month. Is that not sufficient ? Entire August had around 550.

  25. #175
    Had an info pass appointment for last Friday, the rep told me that my file was audited or looked at on Sept 4th. the last update date on my case is Aug 13th. I always thought whenever they touch your file, the LUD is updated

    PD - 07/2006 still waiting ..
