What I have noticed among friends who are with TSC, they received FP notice anywhere between 15 to 45 days. Some recvd their EAD/AP before FP. So, I'd say wait till tomorrow and then send them an email after checking your mailbox tomorrow.

Another update: Received EAD approval and mailing msgs today. One msg at 4:00 AM and other one at 7 AM PST. First one said Card production ordered on 02/21, 2nd msg at 7:00 AM said Card mailed on 02/23. AP was approved on 02/17 and mailed but have not received it yet.

PD: 05/01/2008
ND: 01/22/12
FP: 02/02/12
EAD/AP: 02/23 and 02/17 (approval dates, waiting for actual card in mail)
I485: waiting
SC: TSC
EB2I

Thank You all for the best wishes. Wish you good luck with your future endeavors.

It always occurred to me how cool would it be if we had to meet & know each other later in our life and find that we were sharing on Q's Blog with so and so Login name.
Login Name to Real Name. Welcome to the Real World!

Enjoy!

Congrats gc_usa!

Hello Guys,
I just got greened and didn't expect until late next month...Everything seems surreal to me..After 6 yrs with same company...12 years in US....

I have been lurking around this forum for close to 2 yrs now and you guys have been great (you guys are like band of brothers). Always logged to this forum whenever I felt frustrated because of immigration issues. The frustration was due to not being able to change roles from engineering to marketing or product management (post MBA - finished with $30,000 out of pocket expenses) and staying away from my wife for 1.5 years. She is in J1 visa (medical resident) in NJ and I'm in New England.

Hopefully the GC should alleviate some of the frustrations.

Below are my details

485 USCIS Received Date: 12/14/2011
485 USCIS Notice Date: 12/16/2011
Fingerprinting scheduled date : 1/24/2012
Fingerprinting Done on: 1/24/2012
EAD/AP approved on: 1/30/2012
EAD/AP card received on: 2/03/2012
485 Card/Document ordered date: 2/23/2012

sorry...forgot to add Service center.....TSC

I'm happy for y'all..
But where the fudge is mine.. :)

Congratulations gregspirited .

Congrats Gregspirited. I can understand your frustration about Eng to Mktg or Prod Mgmt. You can't fight the fate :)

Is your wife approved for I-485? (considering her J1 Visa status)

What is your priority date though?

My PD is OCT 18, 2007

If you are in J1 you cannot get your GC unless you go through 3 year Waiver requirement or 2 year home return rule..so for now no GC for my wife....lets see what is in store for us...GC for me seems useful..but no idea what has future planned for us...:-)
