I’ve been trying to think of a list of the top 10 biggest issues that legal immigrants face today. There are hundreds of applications and each and every one of us has a different story. But many of us share the same kinds of worries at some point or the other. I am sure each [...]
The GAO Analysis on USCIS fee increases part 1 and part 2. http://Immigration-law.com reported today:
This Government Accounting Office release relfects that about the USCIS was run on the fees collected from the customers in 2008. Do you remember the whoppy fee increase in August 2007, immediately following the FY [...]
NSC Processing dates - updated January 23, 2009
TSC Processing dates - updated January 23. 2009
I-140 dates have moved and this time, for a change, we do think that the dates reflect reality for the most part. But the discrepancy between TSC and NSC remains and the wait continues to be around 15 months - way [...]
More wait…that familiar thing…Usually each month, the USCIS releases new processing dates for its service centers between 15th and 20th of the month. This month, it’s 23rd already and no processing dates yet. It’s a different matter that we don’t really believe their processing dates, but it’s sort of this monthly routine now and they [...]
It’s been crazy the last few days, finally decided to delay dinner to find the time to blog tonight! Got the new Rules for posting at Endlesswait.com added to the Invitation page. Added some instructions for posting on the blog to that same page as well. And installed a Wordpress plugin that allows the administrators [...]
New processing dates in NSC and TSC: I-140 for EB2 and EB3 are at August 2, 2007 now. I still know at least 20+ people personally and if you go look at Trackitt, you’ll see a hundreds that are still waiting for adjudication from the Jan-July 2007 timeframe. USCIS really must come out and talk [...]
Ok that title has nothing to do with this post, that was just to get you excited on this dull Thursday morning. You probably checked your email in the hope that your attorney sent you a positive email about your immigration application. Then you checked your Processing dates page to see if anything changed on [...]
If you are like me, you visit the Processing dates pages for your service center often. I do it several time between the 14th and 20th of every month when the USCIS usually updates these pages. Some other times, I just check it even though I know nothing would’ve changed on it, it’s a damn [...]
Read the comments on this post and this post on the DHS Journal - the blog where Jonathan “Jock” Scharfen, Director, USCIS, writes regularly. And note the fact that USCIS responded just once in the comments. And that too, provided ambiguous and almost incoorrect information. That’s the state of legal immigration today. How would you [...]
USCIS recently updated their processing dates for several immigrant petitions including the I-140. See this post - USCIS Processing Dates Move Forward. Now that a full week has passed since the update was announced, we’ve had the opportunity to further track whether the processing dates are valid. Well, surprise surprise!! We think the USCIS processing [...]
