I thought about putting up a new thread since we don't have a specific post for people who went through (or are currently going through) the "security clearance" and the typical delay that it entails.

Thanks for your co-operation.

hie,
i was on opt and my opt ended jan 24th 2009. i had applied to a masters program for spring 09. my old school ( where i did my bachelors) transfered my sevis information to my new school( where i was to start masters). however i decided to discontinue with my new school's masters program. i did not registered for classes. i told them that i would no longer want to pursue that particular masters anymore. i now want to join another institute for a short time. they require my sevis information in order to make an i20 for me. my new school( where i had applied for masters) says that they do not have an i20 for me since i cancelled my program. whichever institute i transfer to for future studies would require a copy of a current i20 from me for admissions.
now where does this situation leave me? am i out of status as of now? will i be able to transfer to any university/institute for my future studies?

Spend some time and read answers for the same question asked by people over and over again.

Can somebody please advice.? Thanks

I, a July 2 filer, got receipts last week. EADs came on the weekend. No APs yet. Seems like USCIS is still very much backlogged. Taking infopass etc is unlikely to help much. Best is jus wait for another 2-3 weeks. Best of luck...

Thank you for sharing. Any ideas about visitor visas? how they are giving?

Cheers

Same thing...

I Just heard back from my Fortune 500 company that they will accept the replacement card receipt notice...so it may work. It will help to specifically ask the HR/Lawyer to check the Receipt rule.

Donald Freiberg(San Jose) is also good

Refer to:

180 days starts from the date the name is sent to FBI by USCIS.
And apart from this ur PD has to be current.

Like Tom said, EAD is irrelevant to your studying on parolee status. The only thing is you cannot work during the EAD gap.

I might send them a couple of recommendations. One of them has to do with issuing receipt notices the same day or next day instead of waiting for weeks by using bar-code technology in forms. I will post a copy of email here once I send it.

They might have moved all non - preadjuicated files to NSC. TSC has nothing to process so may be close to current in processing time.

NSC will be overloaded though..

Whao!!!
I'm a newbi, and I have allways been fascinated by this effect, can you share any pointers!

Thanks

Hi Gurus,
My PD is 04/2002 and RD is 18/June/2007, EB3 India. EAD approved and fp done in Aug.

There are no soft LUDs on my 485 after 7/17/2007. What does this mean? Is there a way to check if I am stuck in name check?

I see many people with later RD and PD getting soft LUDs. Is anyone else in the same boat? Please advice..

thanks

So now we are tracking Soft LUDs as well :)

Not getting a soft LUD is the norm. It just means your case was not an exception and you can't expect any miracles ..Yet! But Getting LUDs is not guaranteed to result in GC approval either. So please stop worrying about every little thing and enjoy your life... (Like I'm doing visiting this forum every now and then ;)

the edges in the lighthouse are a bit too sharp....they look a bit cheap compared to the first one; try adding a slight texture [ nothing complex or too saturated ]to the cliff edge to make it look darker and edgy....if you get my drift.....

Dear Fellas,

I went for H1b Stamping a couple of months back. I was given a 221 g at that time and later on was asked for company's tax documents. During this time I did not hear any thing from US embassy in islamabad and got the same reply that my case was under administrative processing.

yesterday I received a letter from US embassy saying that my petition was returned to INS. The whole process has been very frustrating and I even left a couple of good offers hoping that H1b will get through anyways I guess its over for me now......

Did any one else face the same situation?? Will it do any good to reapply?

tks

Sorry to hear about it. Don't get discouraged though, you will find new offers soon, just keep trying. Remember that persistence creates luck. About the reapplying for visa, I guess you should first talk to your company about it and then with the lawyers who helped prepare the documents. I guess, that'd be good place to start with. In the mean time, keep an eye on the opportunities in your home country. Good luck.

Hi,

I am in desperate need of answer to my question and good thing I found this forum.

I have a boyfriend who was a refugee and so he has a special case green card that doesn't expire. He was 2 yrs. old when he came here but never thought about applying for citizenship. Last year, we decided to go to Philippines this Feb 2011 due to a friend's wedding and vacation. He couldn't apply for passport since he was born in a refugee camp and so he doesn't have a birth certificate. He decided to apply for a I 131 on August. According to the I 797 that he received, received date was Aug. 30, 2010, notice date was Sept. 1, 2010. Since we were expecting to receive the I 131 before our travel date (feb 4th to be exact), we decided to buy the tickets last month (december). He's been calling USCIS about his status and yet, he got the same response as to what is posted when he checks his status online "accepted" which is not very helpful. He asked the customer service rep if he can expedite it and they said, they can't do anything about it. It's very frustrating that we can't get hold of anyone who's really working on his paper. Then somebody told us to try Infopass. He scheduled it today but the earliest date is on Jan. 21st which is like 2 weeks after our scheduled departure. Will that be enough time for them to process it just in case they will just gonna process it by then?

My other questions are, can Infopass help him with his problem? Can they release his I 131 or refugee travel document by the time of his appointment? According to their processing time, it should take them 3 months and it's been more than 3 months, can we travel without a travel document and without a passport? This is very frustrating and stressful... Your response is very much appreciated..
