Post 485-Filing

Thanks Sandeep for your wonderful words, By seeing your post itself I was very emotional. Hopefully I will be greened very soon( But I am from TSC, hopefully TSC picks up like NSC).
Finally called Customer service to report that I did not received my EAD even thought i received approval notices couple of weeks back, she had taken all my info (including address, phone, email) and sent out Info that I did not received my Card. Later I asked her to transfer to IO, she did, but she was not sure about L2 officer. IO said that my file is processing fine and no issues till now, I am not sure if she was able to see all info on file but said she cannot tell if my Name Check is cleared or not.

Thanks Buddy for your Precious words. Your other post was very inspiring about not taking any out of box decisions. I felt it was me, Many of people sorrounding me who has green card or citizenship came to usa after I came and many of them do have even a proper bachelor degree. I took Managerial position in 2007 and out of fear of H1/Green Card Had to come to come back to layman level.

jo ho gaya woh ho gaya. what happened has gone. get your GC and let's start life afresh after that. I am hoping my parents get visa this year. I have lot of hope and positive energy now, GC has revitalized me.

a couple days back, my 3 year old daughter, dropped a toy in her bathroom and flushed it. since then water is clogged. I will have to get plumber, probably replace toilet, expenses maybe 400 dollars and lot of headache. I at first got frustrated and bit upset. But as soon as saw daughter's face, forgot all of it. I remembered all the mistakes I did in my life, and as much more grown up than her. What then to blame a 3 year old child, your own child. I will just do the needful, get it repaired, and remove all small toys from the bathroom replaced with the big plastic rubber type bath tub toys

it's all normal. you are through.

this is my sequence:

CPO (ordered card) - CPO (ordered card again) - Decision - CPO (card mailed to address on file)

and after this pretty sure wil be:

USPS picked up
USPS delivered
Decision again maybe saying approval notice mailed

I searched on G , and the ADIT refers to some additional processing before the GC is actually sent, however ,would like to confirm with others here. Any idea how long it would take to get the actual card in hand?
Thanks in advance.

On February 22, 2012, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the applicant/petitioner. You can use our current processing time to gauge when you can expect to receive a final decision.

Teddy, thank you.

Just checking if anyone else from the forum with a RD of early Jan still waiting for EAD/AP? I believe that the norm of NSC is generally 45 days for EAD. I am now at 50 day mark and no activity for our applications. I am now starting to worry and agonize.

My RD is 01/04/2012. Received EAD and AP On Feb 16th for both me and my wife.

Service Center : TSC

We did not receive FP notices yet. Created SR regarding the same on 02/08/2012 and they asked me to wait for 15 days and call back. I did call back today again. They said it is not scheduled yet. They suggested me to send a email to some tsc email about this SR.

Not sure whether to send the email to them or not. Does it slow down any of the processing. I am seeing Feb filers also getting FP notices. Is it normal.

Hey folks, it's an RFE for me. Glad my file has been taken up. Crossing my fingers that it's something simple.....

Thanks everyone for your wishes. If only the 2nd Approval comes soon enough. Yes Nishant, touche! :) We discussed it in the morning and in the afternoon i see the same scenario playing back. I was like, I am happy but not completely. Thing is I see more than a couple of cases like this on trackitt. Not sure what the deal is though. I really really hope I get through this ordeal soon enough :). Fingers Crossed XXXXX

I am in the same boat buddy. RD of 01/05/2012 NSC. FP done early last week. No sign of EAD/AP. I am starting to get restless and I was planning to go to India so badly for 3 weeks like 1st week of March.

It's raining messages.

Now again back to decision.

btw guys, if you notice carefully, the blue status circles on the status message screen, they have a de-facto meaning. for eg, Acceptance if you mouse over, it shows the meaning, same for initial review, decision, post decision etc, and hence in your detailed status message, it always ends with the de-facto status meaning, the main thing is the text before that. Hence a Decision status is always going to have the paragraph about during this status, formal approved denied etc will be mailed. No need to worry about that.

Going by the trends, it'll be for one of the following:
1. BC
2. Influenza
3. Employment Verification Letter.
Should be something simple.

It's better to see some kind of activity than not seeing any. All the best!

Thanks bro. You were right: got another set of emails stating that the cards have been mailed..

should have read your post on your daughter and worries in life. their system is causing unnecessary tension in life.

Thanks for the replies!! Feels a bit re-assuring to know that I am not alone.

RC, I can understand buddy. We have not been to India for 4.5 years now and have/had planned avisit to India in Mar last week/Apr. Every mail/SMS i am like... is this it???? Lets hope we all get atleast the EADs soon, as GC for us JAn filers is still a distinct dream.

Nishant,

For your toilet problem.......go to Home Depot, buy a heavy duty plunger (hockey stick shaped with a handle at one end which has a steel wire attached to it that passes through the hockey stick like hex tube) and follow the instructions. Same thing happened to us right after buying our house and the plumber came and did exactly that and charged a fair bit for it. The plunger is about 50 bucks and is for life and works like a charm. Usually you can break the plastic toys with it (done it multilple times now - have 2 boys who always end up sticking something or the other in there) and flush them away.

Believe me its very tempting if you knew what these buggers charge for little things. On funny side, look up the math professor who became a plumber joke on google.

Any suggestion on this. What is the normal time window for TSC to issue FP notices. Should I wait or send the email to the email address given by support representative.

pdmay,

My docs were received on 1st feb and I got my FP notices on 18th feb. Hope that helps.
