One useful tip for guys going to use AP for traveling abroad.
I found out through my attorney that we can request for H1 B & H4 B statuses to be re-instated once you come back on AP.

Amended LCA is enough.

RRRRRR,
I don't think there is an online mechanism to check status on I-485. We can either open a Level 2 SR with USCIS to check status or schedule an infopass appt to know the status. In either case, it's too early and they may not give appt/or open SR citing that the USICS I-485 processing times are around 4 months (or more).

So seems like, if you haven't heard back from USCIS in four months then your case is just waiting for the visa. Thanks for the explanation.

@sogddu - Thanks TSC is picking up, I hope they approve a few more EAD / AP's before going on holidays.

@tackle good tackling of questions, hopefully by the link you showed more people will go on Trackitt and check things out.

@leo - Thanks for starting this thread, hope you have your EAD / AP approval soon.

Guys , help understand please.

I received my notices today in mail from Texas Service Center . I'm a dependant with spouse as primary both living in Florida. Our cases filed though different attorneys. Used PRIMARY RECEIPT to file my 485 as a dependent. My spouse's receipts came from NEBRASKA Service center , BUT mine came from TEXAS service center.
Since primary and dependant . Is this normal ?? IS this a problem ??? Spouse employer is based in Michigan and both live in FL . Primary working remotely.

Just called my attorney and was told that both the service centers are overwhelmed beyond the capacity apparently and getting a receipt itself on time is a positive thing . And also , both service centers will share the work load as required and said aslong as filing is done with the receipt , it will not matter with approvals. Also learn that if the cases are clean , under this overwhelmed volumes , there are also good chances for quick approvals on clean cases. So no wonder certain cases in bulks are getting approved. Just wanted to share this with the community .

Hi Soggadu - I would like to update but nothing yet for me :). Its very dissapointing to keep checking my SMS / mail every 30 min. My guess we should expect EAD /AP approval only Next year due to Holiday season. what do you think?.

And also I would to add that getting an RFE is not necessarily a bad thing, they tell you exactly specifically what they want, the same letter can ask for multiple things, and that basically are the only things stopping you from an approval, and as soon as you get back to them, within a matter of days at times, depending on the period that is current and visa number availability, such cases are approved. A file which gets response to an RFE is taken back to the top of the pile by the officer. The RFE response is directly sent to the service center, and once its scanned in (you put the RFE letter on top of response), it gets back into the file with the officer. This is as per my attorney.

I'd say bad luck. Don't worry too much about it. Leo who's ND is ~Oct 06 got his EAD approval only yesterday. I don't think there is any specific order in which the applications are processed. Seems random. So, just be patient. Hopefully you'll get good news soon. All the best!
