U got a good lawyer Sam. Don't see lawyers doing things promptly...Well, for me, i was hoping to get the receipts and the FP notice before i travel to the West Coast for a month or so, work and mini-vacation. I guess i'll have to leave without it, and have someone check my mailbox regularly and mail me the fp notice once it's in the mail.

In my case my lawyer didn't delay the process rather I dropped the packet on December 1st. I was expecting the lawyers office to take a few days rather they submitted everything immediately. Does it matter few days here or there? My check was cashed on the 9th.

Will the lawyer receive all the receipts notice for I-131, I-765 & I-485?

You will receive them.
My lawyer didn't get a copy I think because he asked for the receipt numbers.

I was just responding to Rocky's query. I understand your concern. I think you should be fine.
Good luck to everyone.

It will go where your I-140 was filed... Check this...

My colleague, who filed 485 in October at TSC got his EAD/AP already. I think roughly 2 months. His application was under EB1, but I don't think that matters with respect to EAD/AP receipt time.

Nayekal, are you going to travel on H1B or AP? I am asking because I was also thinking about a trip to India, but I will require stamping if I go.

Essenel, I am planning to go to India on AP. I have been working in this company for more than 6 years and its listed in fortune 100. I don't think H1 stamping is a bigger issue, but I am cautious about any issues if I go for stamping. I know that once, I come back, I will be a parolee and will have status with exp date of my EAD / AP, which is for 1 year and hoping that I will get GC by then. If there is any issue with that and my I485 gets denied, then I will just go back to India. I have had enough of this immigration bs for the past 12 years of my stay.

if you are on H1 (extended with 140) and then have any issues with 485... do you stay till H1 expires?

Yes. But, if some one is using EAD/ AP (parloee), then they will be out of status the moment their i485 gets denied.

As nayekal said, you are fine as long as you are maintaining H1 status. Here's a bit more info explaining the status issue if you used AP.

The finger printing notice says "The applicant must bring a PR card or a passport, Driver's Licence or any other govt ID". From the language it looks like DL is ok else they would have specified. I will still carry my passport, just in case.

Should I Interfile 485 with my wife?

Hi guys,
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.

Yes. The lawyer can file for I140 in EB2 with out filing for labor. The old labor is just fine. My attorney did it for one of my colleague.

Thank you sam96_77.

Today my check got cashed (15 days of receipt date). What a relief with a request of interfiling/conversion/porting/etc. Note my lawyer did not file amended of I140.

You are welcome username. Although my check was cashed last Friday. I am yet to receive receipt notice. My attorney said 2-3 weeks. Patiently waiting for the next steps. With Christmas and new year around the corner things maybe a little slow.

Thanks for the reply. I see... I guess I don't really want to take that risk and I don't want to take the risk of stamping either, so I will wait a couple of months to make a decision! :)

Question for all - is there any way of knowing when your application is pre-adjudicated? If so, is it safer to travel on AP then?

Hi all,
I received the EAD/ AP approval e-mail and text from NSC yesterday at 10.30pm CST. However, my wife, whose I-485/EAD/AP application was filed along with me has not received any e-mail/ text and her LUD has also not changed since RD. Is this usual with NSC or a cause for concern? To others who filed in Nov at NSC and received EAD/AP e-mail/cards:
did you and your dependent/s get e-mail/sms at the same time or was there any delay for them?
thanks all.

Gurus,

We have received Finger Printing notices for both wife and myself. The appointment date on the FP notice is Jan 3rd.
Is there any risk if we go to the finger printing earlier than the appointment date??
