Thanks for replying.

My agency told me that they were just waiting for retrogression to be lifted in order for them to pay the visa fee bill. Last week, due to the additional 130,000 visas, they told me that they will now be able to pay the bill and update my case at NVC.

Again, thank you, Lawrence, for all the info!

I can't understand why they are waiting to pay the visa fee bill? As NVC request the bill and once paid request DS230. NVC will not take any money off anyone until the fee has been generated

I agree w/ Anna. It was approved on May, 2006. Retrogression only happened in Nov. 2006. That's about 6 mos. They could have at least paid the visa fee bill. With 6 mos., your case should have been already in the US Embassy before retrogression hit in Nov, 2006 and just waiting for the interview before retrogression happened.

Sure, maybe you will be like the majority whose files were stucked in the US Embassy in Manila because of retrogression but nonetheless stucked in the latter stages rather than in the middle.

But this is the same story we keep hearing from agencies. Always blaming it on the US immigration system.

Lawrence, Anna, Thanks for the replies!

I already asked the agency the same question but they just told me that they are just waiting for the retrogression to be lifted. Sorry guys if my case is already getting off track with the topic.

I140-Approval Aug. 6, 2007

Hope to get I485 approval in a few months. Congrats to those who got their GC from NSC. I am praying that the rest of us will get our GC's too before the end of the year.

Hi, guys!

I've been reading this website for a quiet some time. Recently, there are no updates to Nebraska tread, I guess there are any news due to retrogression.

My PD Oct 26th 2006, I-140 approved in August 2007, than they requested evidence from my employer that about my position and salary (general info). Than ...

"On September 13, 2007, we received your response to our request for evidence. We will notify... You should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing (already done) have not yet been completed, in which case you can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done.

There are couple days left and I have not heard anything, and my lawyer said I am looking for the next 4-5 years to get GC. Anybody in similar position? Is it 60 days to get answer or until Visa available? I thought if they opened my case I-485 , I will at least have some kind of update or answer in 60 days period.

Me and my husband are going home to visit our family and our child in December. We have travel documents. Guys, how safe is to travel with travel documents?

We have child at home and it has been 5 years separate, and according to my lawyer, we cannot file for her until our paperwork is done which another 5 years. Our daughter is has CP and a special need kid. I've heard about Humanitarian parole. Anybody has had experience with brinning your kids while on AOS?

Or may be I need to get Masters degree to move to EB-2 or go teach and get H1-B and get for my child H4 dependant? any answers will be greatly appreciated.

I do understand that nothing can be done about such a long wait, but it has been so hard without my child and any help would be blessed.

It is hard to predict how long it will take for GC but going the AOS route you will get EAD which is renewable and taking into account the amount of applicants you are probably looking at a few years unless they do something regarding nurses and immigration.

Even with travel documents the end decision is with the officer at POE

Unable to answer regarding EB2 if you get masters or Humanitarian parole but the questions may be why didn't you bring your child with you? Not that I am asking that question

Good luck, did try to return your email via the site but you have not set up to receive emails

Thank you for reply

I was on basketball scholarship and had 2 practices a day + nursing school + part time job to pay for rehabilitation of my daughter in my home country. Physically, I was not able to keep up with everything. When I finished my University, my child was not in a country, so was unable to file AOS for her. Now, they opened my case but it is uncertain when the decision will be made- in a week or in 4-5 years. So, I am trying to find another way to make a process faster.

Thank you

Hi, guys!

Would anybody give update on I-485's filed in 2006 (NSC) before retrogression started? Anybody have heard anything? Do u think we got visa numbers assigned to us?

Almost all I-485s filed by Nov. 2006 had already gotten their GCs and only those who have RFEs from either their I-140 and/or I-485 don't have their GC yet.

Those who received RFEs should already have their GC on hand if only there were no missing documents. Having been given RFEs simply means it was processed and just pending adjudication until the missing documents has been furnished.

Also taking this opportunity to clarify that those given RFEs technically hasn't been adjudicated. USCIS cannot adjudicate or make a decision to either approve or deny if there are missing documents.

Dear Lawrence!

Would you please explain what does actually "adjudicated" mean? In my case, I have sent them requested documents such confirmation from my hospital that I has been working there and for my husband: his medical-TB skin test was not checked. we sent them back in time, now the they say it will take them 60 days to give us update. It has been almost 60, so I called them directly to Nebraska SC, they said that clearance check done (fingerprints and name check) but there are no visa available. So, as I understand, there were no visa assigned on the first place. But why that they open the case?

would appreciate anybody response
