Essenel please accept two cakes in advance from me :) .Please intervene on my behalf with the source code architect of the universe .
Congrats indiaeb2 .Well fought is the word :) .It is nice to see both TSC/NSC are responding fast after an RFE and approving people within 1-2 weeks from an RFE Response. Teddy also should see his long deserved approval come anytime soon.
Thank you for those words Maggie.
That is a fantastic idea!! Everyone, please follow through with gc0907's suggestion :p :cool:
gcseeker, I will gladly accept those two cakes... ok, I'll put in a good word for you with the 'source code architect of the universe' :D
I had same status on 02/17 (AP approved) and on 02/23 (EAD was approved). It is normal with TSC I think. You should see status change in I765 EAD application in a day or two.

Did anyone has similar situation ? Is it normal and when should I expect EAD then ?
Thanks
I have filed my I485 (AOS) case on Dec 1st, 2011 the case is still pending with USCIS. Along with AOS, we have filed for EAD and Advance Parole, which got approved and I have physical EAD/AP on my hand. And I have valid H1B petition (No H1B Stamp, current stamp expired on).
I have situation back at, I need to travel to India immediately this week end I am not willing to go for stamping of H1B. I would like to start using my EAD/AP.
Now, I have following questions:
1. Can I travel to INDIA and come back in 2 weeks without any port of entry issues by using my EAD/AP card?
3. If yes, what all the documentation that need to carry with me, which are required at POE on my return?
3. What if my I-485 gets approved while I am in India? On what status I should try to enter into USA on my return?
4. In the #3 case, do I need to visit US embassy in INDIA to get the immigration stamping?
5. If yes, what is the procedure?
6. Are there any other complexities involved this scenario, which I can’t think of?
Kindly make some time to reply in detail ASAP
You can come back on AP whether your GC get approved or is still pending.
If it gets approved, at POE just tell the officer, and he/she should be able to see that information on his/her end and verify.
Ideally there shouldn't be a problem becoz that's what AP is for.
I went to India when my I-485 is pending and AP is approved.
When I am coming back, I have got the RFE and they checked only my EAD / AP Combo card and nothing else.
One of my colleague got approved, while in India and still used AP to come back. But, he told them (POE) that his GC was approved and they stamped it like wise.
yeah me too here have holded off on the party, a lot of my new friends I made in the new community I live, are Nov filers and they still haven't got approved. So I am waiting for them to all get greened!
Teddy has the lawyer used overnight mail or what kind of courier I mean.
Has any January 2012 filer received I485 approval notification yet from TSC or NSC?
Very useful info: http://www.murthy.com/485faq.html#13
If the applicant is traveling using the Advance Parole (AP), then s/he just needs that document, the passport, and a copy of the I-485 receipt notice. If the applicant has obtained an AP but prefers to use his/her H1B or L-1 visa then the primary applicant would travel showing that valid visa, along with the original H1B or L-1 petition approval notice. It is helpful for the principal applicant to have an employment letter verifying s/he is still needed by the employer. Dependents traveling on H-4 or L-2 visas need to show the dependent visa, i.e. the H-4 visa stamp or the L-2 visa stamp, along with the marriage certificate or birth certificate showing status as a dependent of the principal nonimmigrant. One should also carry the I-485 receipt notice, though the CBP Port of Entry Inspectors do not usually ask to see it. One who is maintaining H1B or H-4, L-1 or L-2 status has the choice of either using that type of visa to travel or using the AP. Just because the applicant obtained an AP does not mean that s/he is required to use it. If the applicant has an AP, it is a good idea to carry it on the trip as a backup, even if s/he does not plan to use it. As mentioned in Question 4, a traveler must be aware of the 3- and 10-year bars. (Copyright © MURTHY LAW FIRM. All Rights Reserved)
thanks for your response Teddy. Hope that you get your GC soon. Do you think we can expect any Nov 2011 NSC approvals this week or they will continue with Dec filers?I believe majority of officers must be slow as most of applications are still pending. Lets hope for more NSC approvals for Nov filers this week.
this is interesting ya all.... Copy paste from trackitt
''Today i called the USCIS and spoke to L1 officer and than tranfered to L2 officer.
He is not clealy let me know why the applications from December getting approved not November once are not finished he said it depends on the field officer and not on the bases of the PD or RD or the computer.
he asked me,whats your ZIPCode he said your under field office poccessing time so next time when you call check the USCIS webcite for Field office processing time if your case falls behind the processing times of field office not the Service center for I-485 applications for Adjustment status than call the USCIS.
