Patrick & Li Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I checked our status online and got a different message this time. The message previously was there for almost 2 years.This is what they said...... Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS Current Status: Fingerprints review completed. Review of the fingerprints taken relating to this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS has been completed. Processing of this case continues. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when yours will be done. This case is at our MISSOURI SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register. I cannot find Missouri Service Center. Is that the Kansas, Missouri SC office? I am still in shock. Patrick & Li Link to comment

Guest ShaQuaNew Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Patrick, I think that's the news you have been waiting for. The fingerprints are the clearance that's had you hung up. If that's finished, you should be hearing something soon. Not sure if you will see APPROVED on line before the welcome letter, but I don't think you will have to wait much longer. While fingerprint approval is a part of the process for everyone, does the USCIS routinely communicate to the petitioner that the fingerprint check has been passed? Link to comment

Not sure if you will see APPROVED on line before the welcome letter, but I don't think you will have to wait much longer. While fingerprint approval is a part of the process for everyone, does the USCIS routinely communicate to the petitioner that the fingerprint check has been passed? Updating the website is different that communicating with the petitioner. I haven't seen anyone post that info before that the site was updated with that verbiage. But then, most folks don't pay attention to AOS filings because the info is suspect.Don, are you speaking of the USCIS website that requires anyone with a receipt number for immigration to sign up for an account? If so, whatever goes on there is considered communication. I think most of those filing are familar with that site and check there often to see what's going on. Also, one can include their email address so that they receive notificaiton anytime status changes. Doesn't the USCIS send a letter to the petitioner whenever status changes? They surely have for our case; that is, Receipt notice, biometrics appointment notice, transfer to CA notice, receipt at California notice. Each of those notices appeared both on the USCIS website, and we also received a hardcopy mailing, via US mail. Is that not routine?

jim_julian Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 Hey Patrick ... I would be optimistic ... you know something is happening ... and it sounds like progress! This whole process is so difficult but waiting when you are together with your Lao Po is so much better than waiting apart. Link to comment

Is that not routine?Alathough we received hard copy snail mail letters of approval our web site status never changed and the e-mail notification of status change did not arrive until long after the snail mail. We were never "communicated" to about security check status or fingerprint status at any time. Edited November 20, 2006 by yuehan123 (see edit history) Link to comment

pkfops Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 We've had a similar change also: Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed.

If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. You should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing or an interview are standard parts of case processing and have not yet been completed, in which case you can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done.

PapaBear Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 OUr's too has a similar change: Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS Current Status: Response to request for evidence received, and case processing has resumed. On May 2, 2006, we received your response to our request for evidence. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you.

Just follow the link below to register. Are we outside their processing dates? I think so! So what's up with this change? Just an attempt by USCIS to say they're working on this completely useless "On-Line Status" tool. Bah Humbug!! Don't hold your breath! PapaBear Link to comment
Guest ShaQuaNew Posted November 20, 2006 Report Share Posted November 20, 2006 I wanted to re-state that the OP was referring to fingerprints taking more than two years to get approved and not to any statement about an RFE as the previous two post elude: http://candleforlove.com/forums/index.php?...st&p=257776 It's difficult to tell from Patrick's post just why, or if he had been contacted about a delay in AOS relating to a problem with fingerprints. Additionally, it's not possible to surmise that even though the USCIS says the review of fingerprints is complete, exactly what that means; whether they've been approved, or not, as the petition is still undergoing analysis.

Therefore, a rather unique response from the USCIS is only fitting. It seems more plausable that something was "lost" and has just been "found", allowing the case to continue. As for the new verbage; maybe it was the elections. Keep us informed. Link to comment

For all practical purposes, we have been approved except for that namecheck.I wrote my Senator about 2 months ago, and they sent me a letter stating that they could inquire about the status of our case with USCIS but there was nothing they could do about the Namecheck. So yes, we have waited since 10-2004 for our Namecheck to clear. Our interview was approved pending the Namecheck in February 2006. Patrick & Li Link to comment

It looks like the log-jam has broken. Did you ever get an explanation as to the reason for the delay? Not that it matters, as I don't think it likely that they ever disclose that sort of thing. Anyway, wishing you both the best in moving forward... Link to comment
