Application Status

[gammaray]

I am in the MSC219077XXXX series. Received medical RFE for me and my dependents over the weekend from the local field office. I believe there is a thread on responding to medical RFEs. Would be great if anyone can point to it.

Doesn't make sense to sending the medical packets to lawyers office in a different state for them to respond when the local field office is less than a mile away from me and the whole process could potentially be significantly faster.

Yeah, you can let the lawyers and your employer know that you will be responding the the RFE and ask for any directions in compiling the package (if you need any ie). It's just mailing the medical sealed envelopes along with the USCIS notice. Easy enough.

Guys,

The status for me and my wife?s 485 says a new card is being produced on November 2nd. However, I?m not current after October 31st since the dates retrogressed. Should I be happy or worried that this may be in error.? I?m literally shivering and have no idea either to celebrate or to wait. This could be the best Diwali gift I could have ever imagined.

Thank you.!

Thank you so very much Q.

This is beyond belief. I had given up hope thinking that come summer, we may see PD moving again but magic do exist.

Seriously there are very few ways you can go wrong for responding to medical RFE. Just pay attention if the letter is asking for copy of the original or the original letter itself to be attached with the packet you get from civil surgeon. Depending on that send a copy or a keep the copy of original letter with you. Clip (and don't staple) RFE letter (or copy) to the envelope from civil surgeon and that's it. You don't need to send anything else (no cover letter or anything else). Send it to PO box address mentioned on the letter, to keep it simple. You can either send your dependent's RFE response in the same carrier envelope or use two different envelopes from shipping carrier (it doesn't matter). Use USPS overnight (only USPS delivers to PO box) and then start waiting for the next step which could be a couple of weeks to couple of months. Good luck.

Hey Aceman, did you get the interviews scheduled? Any updates on your case?

I did exactly same as stated above. I see my package was delivered 2 days back but no online status update for my case.
while sending package to FO, do we need mentioned attention "FO Officer Name"?. I did not, may be thinking that's why it is taking time.

Yes, I got interview scheduled on December 16th.

Hi All,

I got a letter from USCIS stating" Preliminary review is complete and application has been transferred to National Benefits Center from Nebraska Service Center" .I understand that USCIS transfers for load balancing etc, but would it cause additional delay? Anyone in a similar situation?

Think should be good news as NBC is faster compared to NSC/TSC . Btw , did you downgrade to EB3 since your case was at Nebraska ?

Thanks for your response.I didn't downgrade..Had to file a I140 amendment due to company name change.Thats why the application was sent to NSC.

I tried asking EMMA about the what the preliminary review meant. They could not explain in detail what it entailed.I am just concerned about retrogression in EB2 due to interfiling.Hopefully my application should be processed before retrogression..fingers crossed.

Whats ur PD that you concerned about retrogression ?

Whats ur PD that you concerned about retrogression ?

PD:May 7,2011

I have not done any analysis about numbers and retrogression.My concern is mainly due to Eb2 moving ahead by leaps and bounds(similar to the progression of eb3 last year)

I agree that such jump will bring retrogression in future . But fact of the matter is that EB2 and EB3 got to be in equilibrium - you cant swing the pendulum to one extreme end and keep it there for long time and its bound to come back to a middle ground . So considering all this , EB2 and EB3 cant be too much away from each other for long time and hence i think your PD should be safe from retrogression (even if it happens)

Hi,

I have a situation. I have a derivative 485 ready to be approved but we are separating at this Point. Have received Initial RFE and do not know what is in the RFE. Lawyer refuses to answer my queries as I am not the primary applicant.

Also I am out of USA at this point and do not have all the necessary documents to renew H4.

Any suggestions from Gurus about next steps to get to kids in USA. Sincerely look forward to inputs.

Please move to right Forum as needed.

I m so sorry to hear your situation. I just did a simple google search and found this article - you may find useful. https://mypathtocitizenship.com/divo...-a-new-spouse/

My own 2 cents is that your 485 will be approved without problems as long as you are not divorced by the date of approval.

Second - if you are out of USA and not on AP then it is a huge red flag and you may be seen as having abandoned your GC.

Hi experts,
Below are my filing details. My case and derivative spouse 485 was transferred to Brooklyn FO on November 7, 2021. I filed Medicals with 485 and Emma agent confirmed that no documentation is needed from my side. Do you know when I can expect an approval? Brooklyn seems to be heavy on FB cases.

At this point in time, if one goes strictly by VB then you should be approved based on when you filed 485 and add 11 months to it. But my judgement is that the FAD is artificially moved forward and so the approvals are really random. We do see approvals from 2010 early to mid 2011 right now. So by stroke of luck you could get greened literally in matter of days or may have to wait 1 year or two.

Any thoughts on I 941 International Entrepreneur Parole ?

[AnandK]

Hello Gurus,

My PD is Jul 2011, and applied for EAD/GC in Oct'2020 with downgrade to EB3, My application (primary applicant) went to Nebraska service Center, and the applications of my Spouse and daughter went to MSC - National Benefits Service Center.
However, my spouse's application was rejected due to some missing pages in the application. Our attorney resent her application in April'2021, and it again went to MSC center and recently two weeks ago, her I-765 was approved and we received her EAD Card, and there is no progress on her I-485, it is still in MSC.
In the month of May I completed Biometrics along with my daughter, and in Aug my I140 for EB3 was approved.
My daughter?s 765 was approved in Aug and we received her EAD card, and her I-485 has been transferred to Nebraska center in Aug, and till now there is no other update on her i-485.
There is no update on my (primary) I-485 or I-765, it only says Biometrics taken, that?s the last status on my case.
It?s surprising that the I-765 for the dependents is approved, and there is no progress on my case. Is there something I can do to ask USCIS to transfer my wife?s case to Nebraska so that the all our applications are in same service center. Is there anything I can do other than creating a service request for I-765?

Please advise if there is something I can do to get traction to my case?

Thank you in advance,
Anandh

Hey guys,

We have received our EADs (Aug-2021) and GCs last year (Nov-2021). We had opted to receive an SSN for my child in the I-765 form. However its yet to come. Anyone in a similar situation and any idea how long does SSN take to come?

Is there a way to follow-up or should we just file a new application?

Thanks,

Mohan.
