Kanmani,
Will keep you posted. On EAD I would agree with imdeng on the 40 day mark for TSC. Most people I know who applied prior to us got it in about 5 week time frame. Also the recent trend on trackitt seems to be right around that ballpark and there are outliers which are less than 30 days too.

Imdeng, I think 40 days is too early. 50-60 is good .

For Q2 - No, spouse using his/her EAD has no effect on the primary's status. Primary can continue on H1B status if he/she wishes.

1. How much time is it taking to get any decision after responding to RFE, ( BC for myself and BC and MC for wife), got the receipt notices for RFE review.

2. if spouse starts using EAD (earlier H4B) do we need to report to primary's employer

thanks

Kumar, regarding Q1, decision after responding to RFE can take anything from a few days to a few weeks. From a look at recent trackitt cases that had RFE and were approved, approval time was generally less than 2 weeks, but some waited for over 2 weeks, even a month. So, it's a wide range.

Folks,

I must Thank each and everyone who helped me grind these painful days one at a time. The list is huge, but TeddyK, my brother, you top the list. TeddyK,Nishanth,Veni,Soggadu,Q,Essenel,imdeng,Kanm ani, Spector, VDLRao and many others : A huge Thanks to all of you. God Bless!!!

It's been a very rough and painful 14 year journey to this day. Thanks for being with me during some of my most painful days.

I must also Thank Ron Gotcher, which I will send a personal note, as he had helped me out with his suggestions when my attorney goofed up my 140 petition and I had go work in Canada for some time.

Will definitely be around :)

Thanks! I think they are backlogged on updating status. The decision date was 03/05/2012 and I got the response now:03/07/2012.

I saw that too Sun. The approval is actually for the same RD as mine. A matter of luck I guess. The good thing is that EAD/APs are getting approved, even if slowly. TSC, OTOH, is flying through.

Question for folks with FP at Elizabeth

What is the "real" address of this place ? My guess is it is 285 N Broad St, Elizabeth, NJ and not Elizabeth City, right ?

Any tips from people who have been here ?

1.It took roughly 18 days for me. I have seen the spread to be between 3 & 30 days.

2. No, each application is different.You don't have to update your employer about secondary ever. Even on primary, you must update your employer only if you had signed a paper with them that you will not work any where else but for the employer. if not, you don't need to update even for primary applicant's second job.

It's 285 N Broad St, Elizabeth (in same building as unemployment insurance department). Your notice will have 285 N broad street. Some people go to USCIS site and they don't have right address there. do check your receipt.

Thanks Sun, really appreciate your kind words. Since such a large number of people ae getting RFE's probably things will be slow. I will be completing post response received by them tomorrow.

While I agree that we do not have any concrete evidence yet but I firmly believe that DD theory is at play. 'How much' part of it may be debatable.
