Immigration Site

Thanks for everybody in the forum for the help you all provided. I personally want to thank Anahit, ari4u, needurhelp for answering my private messages to them.

Last night, when I tried that ONLINE system I saw the I-485 CASE NOT FOUND message. I thought I will see the approval in a week day’s time. This morning (March 1 2006) at 0500AM, I received an email message from USCIS informing that my parent’s I-485 was approved without interview and a card was ordered. Based on experiences of others, I am hoping to get the physical card in 10 days time. The I-130 status in the ONLINE system still shows that it is being processed. The total time from start to finish was 142 days. Timelines are posted below. Local District Office is Los Angeles and Service Ceter is California. I filed the papers with Chicago Lock Box.

Here is the email I received -

Application Type: I485 , Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status
Current Status:
On March 1, 2006, after approving your application, we ordered you a new card. Your card will be mailed to you as soon as it is ready.
Thanks again for all your help.

Ari4u- Please update my time line for the benefit of others. Thanks again.

Congratulations to you and your Mom, SimiDude!!!

With the RFE thats still under 5 months... Suuuuuper fast!!

Please stick around till the rest of us finish our parents cases

Oh.. I just remembered I have a question..
A month after filing, Im still not able to add my Parents case to my on-line portfolio. It still says when I try to add I-130, I-485, I-131 receipt nos.

"Attempting to add a case that does not exist. Check the app receipt number"

Im frustrated seeing this message everytime, I try to add - how soon were you able to add your parents case online? Thanks.

Im happy that your case is approved.

I was waiting eagerly for your case to be approved so that we (Later filers) would get pretty good idea about our own cases.

Congratulations again.

jenimmi,

We were able to access the case information the day we received the NOA.
Of course even though I was able retrive the Case Numbers from the encashed checks, I wasnt able to access the info.

I other words, we were able to access the info two or three days from ND

jenimmi,
Thanks.
I am able to access the information the same day I received the notices (I-131, 485, 130). Unlike some other people on this forum, I was able to track everything on the ONLINE syayem. The ONLY thing that I had a problem deciphering was an email I got on Feb 22, 2006. Please see my earlier posting for more details.
Pease let me know if I can be of further help.
Regards,
