01/10/2003 IMMIGRATION ALERT:
INS LIFTS FREEZE ON 485, NATURALIZATIONS
On January 10, the INS advised the American Immigration Lawyers
Association that the freeze on I-485 Applications for Adjustments of Status
and N-400, Applications for Naturalization has been lifted. The freeze,
which stopped approval of cases for about six weeks, was reported to the
result of a networking error between the FBI and INS. The FBI ordinarily
conducts background checks on all noncitizens applying for Permanent
residency and Naturalization.
