What was the RFE about?

[nishant2200]

I see that gcseeker is back from his slumber. Welcome back!

Wife got combo card today, going to ssn office tomorrow. Me thinks will get my combo card also tomorrow.

Real deal will be GC though. If only CO wud have opened Nov batch 15 days more, my RD wud have been 11/1 instead of 12/1

This guy PD 13 March 2008 got 2 year EAD/AP card he claims. Don't know what to make of it, maybe just a fat finger by USCIS. Thought I will share though. We shud observe if this trend holds in next few days before VB, or is just a one off.

My feeling is that soon they will retro back to mid 2007. It will stall there for a while, few lucky one from oct -nov 2007 will get gc even some early 2008 are until uscis settle with all new apps and process them.it is same as July 2007 dos could have make date current if they wanted.

I've seen people in EB2ROW getting 2 year EAD but followed by a GC approval a week later. Can't make out a pattern in this.

Yeah, one more month of movement, if that, and then pulled all the way back to 2007.

Cheers! Now do remember to keep a log of all dates of any foreign trips. Citizenship form has a huge table to put them all down 5 years later

Nishant,
That's right, we have to keep track of all foreign trips.

I wonder why TSC did RFE's for Birth certificate and Marriage certificate(although were submitted before) for lot of Oct filers.

[gchopeful123]

My lawyer had told me to include copies of the BC and MC (no pun intended) with each application submitted. So i guess those who have sent only one copy are getting RFE's as the officers cudnt find them in the file for a particular applicant.

In short, approval %:

May Jun Jul Aug Sep Oct Nov
75 - 88- 56- 30- 50- 22- 1

Sogaddu bhai the statistics do indicate that TSC has a huge backlog on its hands. They are going by RD. Probably the approvals are higher but because Trackitt is down all day fewer people are able to update. At the current rate TSC may take 2 months to catch up with NSC. God bless all TSC filers we need some luck. I heard that our very own Indiaeb2 baba can help . PD is irrelevant in the game now what is required is luck to have a nice officer to pick up your case.

Congrats, Veni!

Leo, hopefully you are next. Looks like TSC is still mostly processing first week of October cases and your receive date is second week of October. As Teddy was saying, lets hope approvals pick up again from tomorrow!

Nishant congratulations, hopefully you will have your card today. Just like you I was bumped to the Nov batch by 2 weeks a lot of is is destiny. Lets hope for the best. Key for all NSC filers is get FP done ASAP and then a month to GC.

I received my EAD card, yesterday. The validity is 1 year. My PD is about 3 weeks ahead of this person's PD.

If folks (with PDs in Q1-2008) could please update their EAD card validity, we can track this.

Teddy Bhai.. khuda kare aapki baat sach nikale..

I'll be missing out on a family wedding on March 18th.. Have FP scheduled for this Friday.. Agar nikaah se pehle GC aa gaya to jannat ki sair hogi..

Champu bahi if the dates stay current its definitely possible. Most NSC filers have got approvals within a month of FP. NSC is approving Nov filers quite consistently. After that its Dec filers. Hopefully the next VB will show the 6 months forward movement that everyone is talking about. Also note that the cap is being consumed at a pretty brisk rate.

Nishant bhai,

Ignore my ignorance. Can one apply for SSN post EAD/AP or have to wait till greened? We received the combo card last week and just wondering based on your comment below.

thanks in advance.

Yes hopefully TSC will have some new tokens (Visa numbers) from tomorrow and they can stamp out some new cases by them. Right now there is a bigger backlog / workload at TSC.

[Pundit Arjun]

Yup, One can apply for SSN as soon as you get the EAD/AP card.

Yes you can have SSN made after EAD. My wife had hers made after getting EAD. However this SSN will have the legend "Valid with DHS Authorization", you will have to get it removed after getting GC.

Hopefully the next VB will show the 6 months forward movement that everyone is talking about. Also note that the cap is being consumed at a pretty brisk rate.

When you say "cap is being consumed at a brisk rate",does this mean that the steady stream of approvals in the past 2-3 weeks coming off the regular cap?Or is it the quarterly spillover?

I'm sorry for double posting, I asked this yesterday as well..

On the same note, Thanks for all your contributions for the entire EB immigration community!!! All the very Best!
