I agree with Cardamom - well said.

It doesn't hurt, and you'll probably feel good that you tried.

In my opinion it's worth it to apply for the EAD since it's quite probable that you'll receive it in up to 90 day - where the GC can take a loooong time.

That's what we did.

And....like you said, with the fees going up, it may be better to apply now. It's not TOO expensive.

I'm glad to see transfers after no touches for a long time - gives me hope.

@Jashley820,

I say you go for an infopass if it would not be too far or too inconvenient to you. You know the whole story with mine :) , though the answers were not as direct as I wanted them to be, from others' standpoint she could have "hinted" me and husband that the FBI checks were through. I kept repeating the questions though rephrasing them to make her answer "yes your security clearance is complete", but she just keep on saying "stop worrying, you're all good, just bring everything at the interview, you know you have your interview on the 24th right?" (she said this right after she second checked my case in the computer, not the first check). Sometimes these info officers slip up, and will tell you more than they are authorized, unfortunately the agent said to me they are not allowed to encourage or give positive remarks about the case, in her exact words.. I am expecting worst so I wouldn't be devastated.

@Silke,

I am in SF today (Starbucks lol) and tried to get assistance of our lady senator regarding the FBI inquiry, we'll see what happens. I can wait 'til the interview, true, but I just want to give it a try, my experience might help others too.. I don't care if others think it is useless, I know I just have to know and do something. Patience is a virtue but persistence can be a nice virtue too ;)

catch you guys latah! I think Peet's coffee is better than Starbucks, hehe (sorry for the long post, I missed VJ for a day)

Hey thanks mysticbluerose! I just PM'd you to tell you that I made the appointment....I hope that my IO slips up, lol!

I thinik it's great that you're pursuing your senator to find out about the FBI checks. Did you meet with her in person? How did it go? I TOTALLY agree that persistence is a great virtue as well. You go girl!

Ya! Happy 4th :)

Make sure to check out a parade or fireworks....some places really go all out!

Lets hope that the USCIS employees have a good time today so they're in high spirits when they return to work....and they approve us all by the end of the week. Wouldn't that be awesome!!

Happy 4th of July! No LUDs for me today, but am hoping that the IL comes soon :) Hope everyone's having a good day.

I just realised by reading several previous posts that the CIS doesn't issue LUDs to inform us that the case has been transfered to the local offices. I know of a few people who've received their ILs but still no update online.

Also, how long does it take typically for the CIS to issue a RFE? Any particular time-frame; is it within 1 month of NOA date?

All the best to us! :)
