Conditional GC Approved without Interview

[Hamster Mom 0]

You'll probably be the first one to be approved in this group. Can't wait to hear from you.

So nice I back to the list. I hope I would not get an interview.

I hope so. Thank you so much. keeping my fingers crossed.

I was just thinking... USCIS adjudicators don't just do things on a whim - there are

manuals, memos, rules and regulations to follow.

The Adjudicator's Field Manual is available online and doesn't mention any special

rules for people approved without an interview.

Unless there's a secret memo we don't know about, or the redacted public version

of the manual is missing a few pages, we have to assume that the same rules apply

to everyone, no?

That would indeed be the most rational presumption. However, it is also possible that I-485 files of those approved without interview are "flagged" for closer review during I-751. Flag or not, we are hoping that this closer review does not mean an automatic interview but, rather, it would still be the adjudicator's discretion whether or not an interview is required based on the evidence submitted with the I-751.

I'd definitely be watching my I-485 file to see if it gets a touch when my I-751 gets touched too. But, I have to get my NOA first

I am wondering what is so different with the california centre that the other 3 centres can't follow!

More staff? who knows?

"Flagging" is not in the manual either.

Isn't it against the rules to "flag" a file for closer examination?

Adjudicators are supposed to assess cases on their own merits, and

a flag would be likely to inhibit an unbiased evaluation or otherwise

prejudice the ultimate decision on the case.

[Gemma12nel 1]

A few times when I came thru immigration and was secondary interviewed the officer used to tell me my name was flagged, and each time I come thru I will be questioned as my name was "flagged"

Grounds for a lawsuit, if you ask me. By "flagging" your name, they are subjecting you to unfair discrimination.

We also got my son's NOA today. I was starting to wonder whether he was going to get a separate one since he is just an "inclusion" on my application.

Hope the biometrics letters arrive soon so we can start tracking online.

[mawilson 2,133]

Got my NOA today!! It's official...my I-751 is at the CSC.

Congratulations, eau!

it seems like everybody is getting transferred to california, which would make sense.

you guys think they sent all our files back to our original service centers after they approved our I-485s? i doubt it!

i wish somebody would get approved already..

[eau_xplain 2]

Thanks Mark!

FVA, the transfers are being done to de-congest the other service centers that are lagging behind (e.g. TSC, NSC). If you looked at another thread, you will see that I-751s received at TSC after July 1 were (and still are) transferred to CSC. I'm not so sure what's the basis for NSC transfers to CSC.

Oh I see most of texas has been transfered to California.... maybe if I am lucky I will too... I am waiting anxiously the mail every day...

And I am freaking out... I scheduled a trop to Europe for Christmas... what would dhappened if I do not have the green card?

Will I be able to travel?

Thanks
