yogibear Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 Guru's Please note i have pending I 485 since 2005 Employment based under EB 3. Now i have I-130 ( IR-1 Spouse of a US Citizen). Do i need to file new I-485 or can use already filed 48h. Guidance on procedure to follow will be appreciated. Link to comment
Belle Posted October 19, 2011 Report Share Posted October 19, 2011 I would not file another I-485. They don't deserve any more money from you. Call on your I-485 and create a SR to be considered based on your I-130. That should do the trick. Link to comment
yogibear Posted November 3, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 3, 2011 Belle Many thanks your suggestion. I did exactly the same on Oct 19th 2011 and yesterday (Nov 2nd 2011) i called 1-800 number to obtain any update, IO advised that case was converted on Oct 25th 2011 and is now in hands of another IO for adjudication. Any idea how long does this process take. Link to comment
Belle Posted November 4, 2011 Report Share Posted November 4, 2011 They usually get the things around in about 60 days. If nothing happens in 90 days, create SR for long processing. Link to comment
yogibear Posted November 8, 2011 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2011 Yours noted Belle Is there any chance of some how expediting this say by taking an info pass or something. Link to comment
Belle Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I don't think so. Either your application is in the queue or it's not. If it is, you will get your decision in 60 days, if it is not, you won't. Nothing (short of having an actual sitting Senator calling the USCIS and pull for you) will get you on the queue in the next 30 days. InfoPass is for information only. They can't really impact what's going on in the service center. You can go and ask if everything seems to be in order. Link to comment
yogibear Posted December 6, 2011 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 Well 40 days have passed and hope to get get some positive news as my Christmas gift Link to comment
Belle Posted December 6, 2011 Report Share Posted December 6, 2011 I sure hope, too! If there is no answer by January, you should probably contact Ombudsman. Link to comment
yogibear Posted January 6, 2012 Author Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Belle 60 days of standard wait period expired on Dec 24th 2011.Called up USCIS and created SR and was told that call back after January12th 2012 if no response is recvd by then. Is there any other option available to me. Can you advise how to contact Ombudsman Link to comment
Belle Posted January 6, 2012 Report Share Posted January 6, 2012 Google CIS Ombudsman case problem report. It's a pretty simple form that you can fill out and send over. Just explain that your application has been pending for a very long time, that you have two approved immigrant petitions, inlcuding one as a spouse of a citizen. Good luck! Link to comment
yogibear Posted February 4, 2012 Author Report Share Posted February 4, 2012 Belle I have a unique situation, Let me refresh, - I have originally I485 employment based petition pending since 2005 - I have an approved I130 (spouse of US citizen) - Requested I485 be converted to family based which apparently was done and file sent to adjudication officer - Upon completion of 60 days period i recvd a letter from USCIS to go to nearest USCIS District Office and make an Infopass appointment. - First appointment was on Jan 27th 2012 where i was told they cannot help as case still in Texas USCI - Contacted USCIS to find out what was the problem and i was told to go back and explain situation - Took another Infopass appointment on Feb 3rd 2012 and unfortunately was sent back again with same comment Any idea whats going on here and what are options available.
