soggadu, EAD/AP is just a matter of time.( in-line processing). Unless you are planning to travel outside, you can relax. GC, it's a different tension altogether. So, you must continue to worry about GC:)

congratulations!!!! Now only me left :) koi toh meera number lagaddooo bhai!!!!
Bhai - I was like you all night thinking about EAD/AP but at 11:33 pm all of sudden i got a SMS/EMAIL and things changed. I never expected this. I was prepared to call the customer service after my 90 days but finally all went good.
I am sure that this week you should get your approval as our Hero is back from vacation. My best wishes soggadu

np. Stay calm, and wait for your attorney's response. I'm definitely positive that there's nothing to worry in your case.
Thanks Leo.
Usually i get tensed but i m not freaking out this time. The fact that they accepted the case when her date was not current is comforting enough. Lawyers are going to do their thing, we will see after that.
I think your mantra "Stay Calm" is most important and most applicable on this thread. i know we get anxious and need to realize that the processing will not be strictly in order and little here an there is going to happen. Unless there is something that clearly states that there is an issue there is usually no need to worry.
"Stay Calm, All izz well"

Yes you are right... but as per the process of achieving the mile stones, i dont want to miss the joy of getting EAD and showing it to my greedy offshore bodyshop boss along with a middle finger!!!!

Friends,
I had to reschedule my fingerprinting (fp) appointment and wanted to share my experiences here. My appt. had to be rescheduled because of my vacation in India. TSC sent me the fp notice and the appt. was earlier than anticipated. I had already informed my lawyer of my return date and the paralegal rescheduled my appt. a week before the scheduled date.
I was worried a little bit if there will be any questions during immigration, at the port of entry, as I was entering after my appt. date but had not got the reschedule notice yet. But no questions were asked (I had a valid H1 stamping and was returning using it). I got my rescheduled appt. notice, a day later.
Today I walked-in to the ASC in Alexandria-VA around noon. The center was free with hardly 10 people around, filled the form, showed my ID and the appt. letter, and the fp was done in 10 minutes. If anyone needs to walk-in to this center, I think it should be fine. No questions are asked about your appt. time. There is also ample parking space in the facility.

Thats some wishful thinking on my part.. I was told that there is a 2 week gap between the time when you get the FP notice and the actual FP date. I haven't received the FP notice yet.. hence the "coming soon".. Assuming the information is correct, I should be going for my FP in about 14 days of receiving the notice..
I'm sorry if it created unnecessary confusion..

As per
http://www.immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=16019
Based on the information contained in Part D, as well as the announced demand data, it appears that the USCIS is not doing a very good job of processing files to completion. If this continues (and it likely will), then it is entirely possible that India and China EB2 could become current or near-current by May.
Ron say's, EB2 may be nearly current by May, any takes on this?
also he replied to one of questions on the forum as below
It will depend on the reported demand, but unless something changes, look for another one year advance in China/India EB2 .
below looks intresting, EB2 will become current...
Personally, and this is just my gut feeling (based on the available information), I expect to see the China/India EB2 cutoff date continue to move forward at a rate of about one year per month. It should become current or near-current no later than May. At that point, we will either have enough applications in the pipeline to use up the annual quota, or we won't. If we do, then the cutoff date will start to retrogress, ultimately settling in at around mid-2009. If we don't have enough applications in the pipeline, then we will see a fall down of numbers into Worldwide EB3 - where there are more than enough pending applications to use up the quota.

01-10-2012, 04:09 PM
Ron has always been bullish on EB2 India - perhaps a way of attracting EB3 to EB2 porting. In fact, he offers free consultations for porting. Having said that, I do remember a newsletter from a few months ago where he predicts that Eb2 india dates will fly once the July 07 dates are cleared...

USCIS taking about 2 months only for procecssing? That is great news for people who have filed already, but given this translates into demand for the next demand data, probably does not bode well for the extent of movement in next months bulletin?

KD thanks for posting. Even though this is not a clean case it is significant. The primary for this case is a Jul 2007 filer and was approved in Nov, the dependent filed in Nov and approved now. Still from a standpoint it is very significant that they are now looking at EB2 I/C cases of any kind filed in Nov. I see on Trackitt that approval levels are higher in Jan.

I have question about order in which I-485 are processed-
If a person with PD 10 Jan 2009 files on 25 Feb 2012 and person with 20th Dec 2009 files on 5th Feb 2012...who gets GC first? is it FIFO?
I remember Veni answered a similar question just few days back but could not locate.

01-10-2012, 05:24 PM
sun, this is rule of thumb they follow:
1. if you are current, they give 1 year EAD
2. if you are not current because of retrogression, they may give 2 year EAD. This would mostly always apply to renewals, unless your dates kind of retrogressed the next month itself after you applied.
Thanks Nishant- that makes sense.

I remember Veni answered a similar question just few days back but could not locate.
Processing of application is in order of received date.
Allocation of spillover visas is artificially ordered by priority date, due to retrogression, and then movement in small batches when some SO is available, the length of the batch depends on what DOS feels will be completely satisfied (they know this because of accurate demand data and inventory and estimated SO that they want to release in that month), this technique is employed by DOS. For categories which are current, you don't have to worry about all this, but for categories which feed on spillover, this need arises.
This is my opinion on this. Let's wait for others replies.

An I-485 application is picked for processing (pre adjudication) based on the filing date.
Visa number allocation (actual GC) will be based on the PD within the pre adjudicated cases.

Hi,
Received my FP notices today. But they mention only 485 and nothing about 765. Do we get another FP notice for 765 (EAD)?? I have heard from friends that they have received one single notice for both 485 and 765. Any thoughts?

I am seeing mixed bag on trackitt for this. Basically 485 really needs FP, and FP on EAD/AP is optional for the service centers. I wouldn't worry about it, just go get it done. And once they have your FP, due to linking by A-number, they can use it anywhere they want for you.

Congrats Rinku!! Awesome news for folks who had to live with the agony of missing the July 2007 lottery......Enjoy the freedom!!
Thanks Champ(nice name!). Yes, missing the 2007 boat to promised land, added a bag of salt to the raw wound of GC wait, especially after noticing that Atlanta Labor office was auditing a ton of PERMs at the time for no apparent reason, while the Chicago office was merrily approving PERMs in a few days each; some cases got approved in one day at Chicago during this interesting time! Went through a range of emotions during this wait. Initially there was Suspension of belief about missing the 2007 boat, then bewilderment that the boat is not coming back anytime soon, followed by resignation to fate that things will work themselves out and better to focus on job at hand, and then finally settled into a state of indifference about the whole immigration process. So the whole approval thing maybe elated me for perhaps 5 minutes and then I was back doing what I was always doing before my GC got approved anyways! :)
YOOO Rinku, Congratulations!!!
You just lifted my hope...buddy. Good Luck to ALL.
Thanks Leo! Anything to help buddy :)
Good luck to both of you! Your GC will get approved sooner or later. Enjoy!!
Cheers.

Kanmani,
What's your company lawyer charging ? Or that's the firm you are talking about ?
longgcque
01-10-2012, 08:36 PM
Hey Zen/Sun/Kanmani,
All this lawyer fee is waste. There is nothing for lawyer to do. Paralegal and Company lawyer sit at same workplace as mine and I worked with them. I filled all forms (10 in all, 3 for me and my wife and 2 each for kids). They reviewed it and attached EVL plus supporting docs.. that is it. Nothing gr8 immigration lawyer stuff for 485 filing.
In our company, lawyer is not immigration specific as he is chief company counsel. He and a paralegal does everything end to end.
After all this, I could have done it all with just an EVL from my company. But it does not cost me to use my company lawyer and so just followed the way other co-workers did. So if your company is not forcing you for a specific attorney then pick the cheapest one.
My company handled my cost and for dependents they paid but will deduct from salary.
I was just trying to say that you dont need a big lawyer to file 485 .. hope it helps

Sorry for the delay in response, was traveling for most of the day. My PD is Sept'07 and i filed my 485 application at TSC on 5th December. Got an email from USCIS on 3rd Jan that my EAD is approved and on 7th Jan i received cards. Curiously, my fingerprinting happened on 6th Jan.

I wonder from where do you got that from? Was there any case or incident related to finger-print notice at the port-of Entry?
From my understanding there's no relation to FP notice for 485 to US entry on H1b.
Wonder what an imaginary fear can cause....phew...

I opened a service request today. I called customer service, she asked me it had been more than 30 days since I got the filing receipts in hand, I said yes, because it was so, and then she opened service request, and said that I will get a response from the NSC within 15 days.
Customer service does not seem to have any detailed extra information on your case, that I noticed. However, they are very very courteous and professional, very impressed with customer service.

I have a unique situation due to dates moving to Jan'09 in this visa bulletin. I have PD of Oct'07 EB2-I and filed 485 at NSC on Nov 14th along with my wife as dependent. She has her own Oct'08 PERM which is now current. I have following questions:
-Should my wife file 485 again as primary and me as dependent? Is that okay? We just want to reduce risk if either 485 goes into audit.
-My wife's company doesn't pay for 485 dependent filing(they will pay for her 485) so it should cost us about $1070 ..is this really worth doing?
-Also another issue is my wife just came to know that her 140 as filed as EB3 even though her labor which cleared audit was approved for EB2. She has spoken to her lawyer and they said they will file new 140 and 485 concurrently. Is this doable?
Gurus,please respond with your thoughts.
Hi,
can you please tell me what doid you end up doing? i have the same situ and have applied for my wife as my dependent but her receipt has her own PD, which was not current when we filed.
I am trying to see if that is normal? my lawyers are going to talk to USCIS too.

How does this typically work? My husband's company will pay his processing fee. Would it be via a check or does the law firm have direct deposit/credit other means they write a check themselves?
So frustrated. The HR said they would pay for my husband and that we have to pay for myself, which we did already. Now, the lawyer said they will co-ordinate with HR for my husband's processing fee.
We are submitting signed docs today. Curious to know how this process works?
Thanks!

RD is the official day USCIS has received your application/s.
ND is the day they have issued the receipt notices (usually 1-2 days after the RD).
Thank you Sandeep. What is the difference between RD and ND?

I and my wife (dependent) filed on 12/13/2011, RD 12/14/2011, Receits 12/21/2011.
My wife 485 has the PD as 12/14/2011 on her receipt (my PD is 1/2/2008), is this normal?

Really?? You are frustrated about that?
How does it matter in what format the lawyer is paid? Don't you trust the employer?
If you are going to be current in Feb, then relax and before a week ask your lawyer if everything is in place.
Mine same case, I asked the lawyer before a week to confirm if everything is ready and he replied the package is ready to be mailed.

Could somebody please put up what RD ND and other such small acronym mean. I checked on page 1 of this forum and did not find anything. Thank you in advance who ever does it.
Will do. We are trying to add some more info to this thread.
RD- Receipt Date
ND - Notice Date
FP - Finger Printing

Hi,
I got my i-765, i-131 receipts and my husband got all his three receipts.. I was wondering if this is going be an issue..or just that i might need to wait for few more days to get i-485 receipt.
Just be patient, AOS receipt number will be 1 less than the other 2.

Not an expert - but my thought is that if you have EAD then you are eligible to stay and pursue another job. I think this has been discussed before in this forum - see if you can search it out.

RMS,
I understand your frustration, but try to just forget everything once you send the packet to your attorney, 'cos things are out of your control from that point of time. I don't mean to state the obvious, but sometimes it helps.
Relax and am sure good things will happen soon.

I didn't go through every page to see if this was posted. But my theory is they are creating a pool to make sure there is no wastage in visa number. On the other hand everyone who gets an EAD has to be renew it every 1 or 2 years and hence keeps the renewal fee coming.
Good Source of funding.
They did it for last 5 years since 2007 and continue to do that for people in EB3 IC.
Just my 2 cents.

its beneficial only for immigrants not USCIS. as long as Visa numbers wont change/ any legislation change your PD and GC go hand in hand( earlier PD's get earlier GC),hence having EAD/AP for you and your dependants boosts your confidence,you can make decisions/invest etc also down the line after 6 months,you are eligible to find suitable job rather wasting time for steability...

Under the new fee structure since post-July 2007, there are no renewal fees for EAD or AP. EB3I folks who continue to pay fees, filed their I-485s in the July 2007 fiasco. So USCIS makes no money from renewing EADs and APs with these new I-485s.

I have seen this kind of post across several different immigration forums. In order to attribute a reason to USCIS building a pipeline, folks are coming up with all sorts of reasons from the weather to fee generated from EAD/AP renewal.This is a very common misconception all across several forums on immigration. USCIS DOES NOT charge anything for EAD/AP renewals past July 30,2007. Read top left part on page 8 of below document (Point 4 says that if u applied AOS after July 30,2007, no fee for renewal of EAD/AP card is required):
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-765instr.pdf
So,please read and spread the word.
The reason for DOL building a pipeline or inventory is guess what??? ...they dont want visa numbers to get wasted due to inefficiency of USCIS unlike past years. Any other reason provided for the rapid movement of dates is pure and absolute BS.
Some other misconceptions are:
early walk in for FP will expedite EAD/AP process (biometrics are for 485/GC)
Green cards are issued based on Receipt date and not Priority date (USCIS pre-adjudicates cases based on RD but DOL issues visas (GCs) based on PDs and visa availability)

After speaking to my wife's lawyer we decided against filing 485 again based on her approved 140. However her receipt for 485 filed as my dependent has my PD. So I guess it should be okay. Still waiting on EAD/AP for both from NSC even though we filed on 15 Nov,2011.

I filed my 485 requesting all documents to be sent to the lawyers office and I have been receiving all the documents from my lawyer. Just yesterday I picked up the EAD/AP combo card for spouse and self from the lawyer. Earlier I was cussing myself for directing all docs to the lawyers office, but now I see some virtue in it. Just recently we received a letter that was intended for a house a few numbers away and my wife questioned me about the possibility of our EAD/AP/GC/RFE etc. being dispatched to the wrong address. At that time I did not have an answer, but now I think I made a good decision to send all communication to the lawyers office coz there is a better chance that your docs will reach correctly at your lawyers office than at your address. Sometimes when your mailbox is full, the postwoman simply leaves the mail outside the door - that wouldn't happen at your lawyers office. That's just my opinion, others might think differently.

Teddy, Nishanth to follow and i wish all the best to those already filed and the others waiting to file their AOS.
Hearty Congratulations Veni.

Guys, there are more than 10 EB2 October approvals on MITBBS! All of them are from TSC.
It looks like they are approving the Ocotober cases full time now.
Hi QBF,
Are all these approvals for PDs before Aug 2007? or do you see any PD post Aug 2007 being approved?
Thanks!

All of them are PWMB guys.
It makes perfect sense because October VB date was 7/15/2007. There is no way that they can approve the PD after 7/15/2007 yet.
November VB date was 11/1/2007. I believe we will see some approvals of the guys with PD between 7/15/2007-11/1/2007 after several days.

You submitted 485 in Dec. 1st, right? I believe you will get GC in Feb!
qbf, why were we not born 2 months earlier.

Thank you for the information. I should have done research prior to posting. It was based on information from some of my friends who are in EB3I and has been paying renewal fee. It was not based on other websites.
Good to know. I do understand the benefit of EAD/AP.
I have seen this kind of post across several different immigration forums. In order to attribute a reason to USCIS building a pipeline, folks are coming up with all sorts of reasons from the weather to fee generated from EAD/AP renewal.This is a very common misconception all across several forums on immigration. USCIS DOES NOT charge anything for EAD/AP renewals past July 30,2007. Read top left part on page 8 of below document (Point 4 says that if u applied AOS after July 30,2007, no fee for renewal of EAD/AP card is required):
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-765instr.pdf
So,please read and spread the word.
The reason for DOL building a pipeline or inventory is guess what??? ...they dont want visa numbers to get wasted due to inefficiency of USCIS unlike past years. Any other reason provided for the rapid movement of dates is pure and absolute BS.
Some other misconceptions are:
early walk in for FP will expedite EAD/AP process (biometrics are for 485/GC)
Green cards are issued based on Receipt date and not Priority date (USCIS pre-adjudicates cases based on RD but DOL issues visas (GCs) based on PDs and visa availability)

Does this mean that now USCIS/DOS has much more demand and we should see actual demand in next bulletin ?
Would GC be handed out till the end of sep 2012 or can it halt in between ?

That wud be great, but provided they have enough QSP numbers to allocate for ppl between 7/15/2007 and 11/1/2007, correct?
Does anyone have any idea on what the demand is between 7/15/2007 and 11/1/2007? and how many QSP numbers are expected this quarter. This might give us an idea on our wait time, just a thought...
BTW, recent news, a Nov 2011 NSC applicant (within Trackitt) got his/her 485 approval with a PD date of 7/31/2007

This is probably off topic and does not belong on this forum..My apologies for sidetracking the conversation..
A friend told me that his Perm application (in Washington D.C. area) has been pending since Sept. 2011 because of delays in Prevailing Wage Determination. I am sure that there are no discrepancies in his application. He is a full-time employee of a mid-sized company and he is definitely making 100K+. I am not sure if there are any administrative delays.
Is anyone else aware about any DOL related delays?

Nishant & others:
I went in for the FP today (early walk-in). Based on my understanding from my experience if you receive only 485 on the FP notice ( and there is no mention of 765) you should still be good. They did code 2 and code 3.
Thanks Nishant. You might be right, finger prints for 485 should siffice (logically) for 765 too. I will have the finger prints done for 485.

I got the following stats by querying trackitt based on RD. These are only for primary & EB2I. Assuming pre-July cases all got approved. I am not sure how to factor the other variables(like folks who didn't update tracker with their cases, dependents, portings etc). Probably GURUs can help us.

Actually, there is one case on trackitt, username "stadala", whose PD is July 31 2007. Filed in November and I-485 is approved. Approved on Jan 9. Total time to get GC: 69 days. NSC, EB2, dependant.

After speaking to my wife's lawyer we decided against filing 485 again based on her approved 140. However her receipt for 485 filed as my dependent has my PD. So I guess it should be okay. Still waiting on EAD/AP for both from NSC even though we filed on 15 Nov,2011.
OK thanks. So it does need to be tagged to the proper primary applicant.
I have asked my lawyer to update me if they were able to talk to USCIS. lets see what they say.

Dependents(whose primary's GC already approved) cases processed on fast track so this should not be considered as a regular Nov filing case. There are a few other category Nov filers like EB1/ROW/CC got approvals but I don't think they actually touched any regular EB2I cases filed in November.

Guys (I assume) thanks for keeping me on the radar! Thus far the approvals in Jan 2012 have been impressive. For all categories except for EB2 I/C some Nov filers have also been approved, the case for stadala is not a clean one its dependent only. Hopefully our turn will come soon. TSC is also doing well now more than PD looks like they are going by RD right now the approvals are mostly confined to early Oct RD's. Our turn will come soon, the quarterly spillover / current allocation is really good. There are many older filers from Feb to Jul 2011 who are still waiting so there is still a lot of ground to cover. Nov filers is a much larger group than Oct. Good luck to everyone.
Here are my details.
TSC - RD - 11/02/2011, ND - 11/07/2011, PD - 07/24/2007, FP- 11/25/2011, EAD/AP- 12/22/20011

Next month bulletin could also really go either way. Following are some points -
Positive Forces
- Some people have posted that their attorneys are still positive about EB2 I/C movement, the news / rumors from them has thus far been quite accurate, hope this trend continues.
- Nov filings are still not adjudicated as we have not seen any evidence of Nov filers approvals or EB2 I/C. DOS is going by their demand data a case will be reported here only if is documentarily qualified.
- Taking new intake is purely discretionary and does not violate any laws and may therefore continue. It helps to give clarity on the actual demand.
Negative Forces
- Trackitt approvals have been quite good for EB2 I/C this may indicate a consumption of atleast 12K.
- The approvals for EB2 I/C still lag behind all other categories this may indicate a lack of sanctioned numbers.
- The rate of approvals for EB1 are higher than last year and EB2 ROW is picking up this may hurt SOFAD for this year.
Overall next bulletin can also go either way, the onus is really on USCIS.

01-13-2012, 04:03 PM
Teddy, before July'2011 filers are with PD in 2006. Do you think a lot of them still waiting ?
The demand data showed 8.5K, while the inventory showed 14K before Jul 2007. Probably the truth could be around 11K, additionally we have 2K PWMB's. There are several people on Trackitt who have applied in May - Jul (PWMB) and still waiting and porting is coming by constantly. This could account for 1-2K cases and these folks may take precedence. Otherwise the line is clear for next month. It will be really interesting to see the remainder of this month if there are any approvals for Nov filers, I hope there is some start then traction can build up.

It is back up again. Assuming trackitt cases represents 4.5% from the total universe, we have 919 cases entered since Oct 2011 for EB2I giving us a total of about 20K in USCIS pipeline. In a few months when most of 2009 and 2008 PDs are registered, we may see pipe of about 45-50K. Just saying.

Congratulations! A Nov filer getting GC is amazing. QSP Lives!! The fact that we still have visa numbers available even after more than 8K-10K consumption already is an encouraging sign.
All these cases also serve to extend the lower limit of the retrogression when it finally happens. The speed of processing is phenomenal here too - less than two months. Isn't Nebraska considered a slower service center?
Update: Thinking a bit more - is this also a confirmation of the fact that RD does not matter much? Here we have an approval for a 14-Nov RD when so many of the first-week-of-Nov filers are still waiting?

It shows there is no order in which they are approving i.e. PD/RD/ND/FP or anything.

I am not that worried about EAD etc, that has SLA of 90 days. But yes, FP is needed to strike while iron is hot.

I know few people who got EAD approval email and then card prod order email. When I 485 got approved they got again card prod email.
Since your EAD / AP date is so close can you confirm that you received EAD in hand or it could be one of EAD approval email.. Sorry I don't want to spoil party but it happened to few that i know in past....

Hi,
My PD is current as of Jan 2012 bulletein.But my 485 papers are sitting on attorneys desk for past 3 weeks for EVL.
Currently my employer has been delaying in giving the EVL.
Now since the dates moved by a year in Feb-2012 bulletein , would it adversly impact my appl if i am able to finally submit in Feb as i would get a Feb RD , where as somebody with a later PD than mine , could get an earlier RD.
Does this scenario effectively mean that i eventually end up getting the GC after somebody whose PD was later than mine.
Please advise.Thanks in advance.

I missed this post. Good luck to you. Trust the system ... it is broken in terms of the amount of visas available. But in terms of the process ... i think it works just fine on the average.

Q, I believe that apps are processed in order they are received. But since allocation of SO visas is to be in order of PD, DOS would at some point retrogress and make dates current in batches of few months based on their inventory and SO allocated. Hence GC would follow PD order to a great extent. However in inventory building mode, like right now, some AOS folks cud get lucky out of order as well as CP folks definitely.

Nishant, apps are processed in order of PD predominantly i.e. everything else being equal. If one is stuck in FP and other is all through then the first person even if is from 2005 may not get ahead of the other who may be 2007.
So yes RD matters... but only when both people are nearly same PD with same level of case complexity. Then hte person who filed first will get processed first.
Another time when RD will matter is when the entire category is current. So yes of course then RD is what matters more than PD. But for backlogged countries, USCIS and DOS do try to keep sanctity of PD as much as they can.

Thanks Q & Nishant.
So from your replies I can infer that a delay of a few days in eventually getting the GC could be possible because of the delay in submission but if all other things (assuming both cases are clean / no RFE / no other issues FP etc) remain same between two candidates , their PD would obviously decide when they get their GC.
So in my case if I am finally able to submit my appl in late Feb , I still would not be hurt as much by the late submission as anybody with a PD may be 6 months after mine would still be behind me in the GC queue though with an earlier RD.
For a moment I even thought of checking with attorney if I can submit my package without an "EVL" (& thus risk a RFE) & just lock in my RD & then send the "EVL" as & when its available. Such a helpless feeling owing to inability to travel for past 4 years owing to visa uncertainties.The "EVL" is probably the last thing employers control in this process.

Issue with PD printed in I-140 and I-485 RN
I had an issue with I-140 under EB2-I having a priority date printed as 08-Oct-2005 instead of 08-Oct-2008. Law firm which is handling my case sent a letter to USCIS to correct the issue but we did not receive an updated I-140 approval notice.
I became current in Jan 2012 based on 08-Oct-2008 PD and I applied for I-485 with the original copy of I-140 (which had a PD of 08-Oct-2005) and the notice we received has the same 08-Oct-2005 PD.
Question is: will this be an issue in case the cut off dates retrogress in the future and I-485 gets approved based on 05 PD instead of 08 PD?

Guys, Excuse me for the delay. I received EAD approval mails for me and my wife on 1/12/2012. I am a Nov filer with PD Oct 2007.
This is from TSC ( am i the first from TSC). No cards received yet.
About a week back my attorney mailed AP of my daughter which was approved on Dec 15th. Not sure if EADs goes directly to attorney. No approval emails for AP. If EAD/AP is a single card, why don't they get approved go together?

I think LockBox facilities generates the notices. Based on which SC your I-140 was approved your SC is determined.

man I have got zilch nada zero null undefined void 0 shunya. no FP, no EAD/AP. Since last summer, my life has been on edge, first living month to month for each VB, and now living day to day for that USPS mail, or email or sms.

How do you do this? My lawyer said they do not do the G<something> form in their office. She did say we will receive the receipts via email.
But how do I get these magical SMS?

Nishant, I hear you bro...
I think the FP notice has something to do with the workload at the ASC closest to you. If you could start a new thread on this forum and on other forums (trackitt, imminfo.. etc..) with the details of your expected FP location and check if people have received FP notices at the centre, you could possibly gauge the demand there..
Just a thought..

If you meant about docs Received SMS, I think you need to file a form along with the application. I don't recall that but Nishant mentioned is sometime back.
If you meant for status updates, rfe/approvals/deinal SMS/Emails you can go to https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/Dashboard/CaseStatus.do and register yourself.
Once you get the recipts, enter your Case# and select text and email options.
I have never heard of getting receipts via email.

ChampU,
I agree. In my area, even my friend with RD of 11/4 has not got FP notice. There is one more with RD of 11/29 , no notice. Plus they know others from NSC, Nov filers, even they have not got it. I also know a guy from trackitt, who is a Dec filer, in my area, but TSC, even he has not got it, generally TSC is fast.
How crowded can my ASC be? People in Los Angeles have got it, which is like the headquarters of all sorts of immigration :)
Something's really messed up with Ventura county ASC.
I think they should generate the notice, even though it maybe 2 months in advance, and make rule not allowing early walk in unless genuine emergency. That will give peace of mind.

Nishant,
Can you check with the folks with Nov. RDs,if they had opened SRs with the NSC ?(they must have).. Its likely that they would have received a response by now.. That will give you an idea about whats going on..

N... these things have been so random... i know people who didnt get reciept notices for 60 days and some whose receipts doesnt show status...most of these guys got their EAD's as soon as things started showing up.... wishing you tons of luck and some FP dust on your mail box ;-)...

I think it is a glorified form of changing your AoS to CP, paying another set of fees :) I will leave it to someone who is more knowledgeable to explain in detail.

I agree. I didn't understand it completely also, I google searched and read some links. But it does look like changing AOS to CP and involving a attorney in this process closely. Basically this is quite a blatant money earning ploy by Ron, which is ok, I mean, it's his profession.

RFE Could be as simple as a Birth certificate clarification or a vaccination clarification. keep your chin up!
You are right! I got the RFE letter today. Copy of birth certificate and copy of marriage certificate needed from both me and my spouse. We submitted the copy of marriage certificate and copy of birthcertificate of spouse. But I submitted my copy of my original weak 30+ yrs old birthcertificate that says 'Baby Boy' (instead of my name) + affidavits from parents. Looks like submitting a record of 30 yr old document without a name, got me a RFE. I was worried a lot on what all they might ask..

can you elaborate on this? I have also submitted a copy of BC with affidavits and my name is not there on the BC. Are they asking for extra documents? Whats the purpose behind it since you have already submitted what they want.

Yes. You will get AP Approval notice as well.
My attorney told me that I have to keep the I485 receipt notice along with EAD / AP combo card, to show it as a proof that my I485 is still pending. That is good enough, even if I485 is approved, when you are coming back.

I really dont understand why they asked for them again. Either they dont believe the 'handwritten in ink' Birthcertificate with no name or they might want to see a similar one that everyone has now a days...ie a printed one. I dont think I can talk to anyone at USCIS as I have only one chance...so I'm trying to get a printed one as well, ofcourse with my name on it.
I submitted my spouse printed birthcertificate, but they want it again.
And we submitted marriage certificate copy and they want the copy of it again...
So adding few more days to the already long waiting game....

Congratulations Veni...Dream comes true ! Hope everybody's comes soon too....
Gurus,
My PD is June Ist week 2007, Received my EAD/AP last week (had an RFE for pp picture not good - Yap, pathetic). Wife got her's in Dec 1st week (LOL !!)....Changed my address last week of Dec...got my ead/ap in my new address.
Looks like people are getting 485 approved after my PD....Should I be expecting another RFE ...my case is pretty clear, same F500 company for last 6 years (grinding the same thing)...Any insight would be helpful ..
Anybody knows what happd to qblogfan ...did he apply ?Soggadu, you are right - I'm going to copy this forum in my harddrive...hope to show it to my daughter one day, off course she will laugh what I ( we) all went through..
Thanks folks

3 M based on the discussion with my lawyer about birth certificate, I think your RFE is because of the absence of your name on it. The birth certificate needs to have your name, last name, parent's name and the birth city.

Is it common for Attorney to get receipts and not the petitioner? as My attorney received receipts notices on 13th Jan, and I haven't received mine yet. Please advice
RMS_V13
01-18-2012, 10:15 AM
Viswanath, If you have filed a G 145, you may get the receipts also.
My lawyer's office does not do a G 145. Instead, they get email updates on receipts directly and if the lawyer has included your email and ph # in that form (whatever it is) then you will get it. Else, your lawyer will be the only person to receive the receipt #

Hi,
My PD is current as of Jan 2012 bulletein.But my 485 papers are sitting on attorneys desk for past 3 weeks for EVL.
Currently my employer has been delaying in giving the EVL.
Now since the dates moved by a year in Feb-2012 bulletein , would it adversly impact my appl if i am able to finally submit in Feb as i would get a Feb RD , where as somebody with a later PD than mine , could get an earlier RD.
Does this scenario effectively mean that i eventually end up getting the GC after somebody whose PD was later than mine.
Please advise.Thanks in advance.
My attorney did not ask for EVL at all, according to my attorney recent 3 paystubs would be sufficient. Check with your attorney again.

Each case is different and only your lawyer can give you accurate info. I do not know your case to comment, but..
I have a personal situation that requires me to go to India and my lawyer said I am free to travel on H4 once Finger Printing is done.
Guys,
My lawyer said that they encourage/recommend travelling on H1/H4 but in my case they said because I have to go and get it stamped in India they said do that anyways but go after you get your AP. I want it stamped because if the dates retro then renewing AP is a pain.
