Thanks imdeng,arunabha,sudkal33 for your wishes!
Many congratulations to you and your family. Enjoy this moment to the fullest. It must be a great sense of satisfaction and relief after all the handwork you have put in completing your double masters. Thanks for sharing the good news with all of us, this increases our hopes, do continue to write. I remember you as one of the old timers since predictions and calculations started on the other site. Congratulations and best wishes once again.
I know few people who got EAD approval email and then card prod order email. When I 485 got approved they got again card prod email.
Since your EAD / AP date is so close can you confirm that you received EAD in hand or it could be one of EAD approval email.. Sorry I don't want to spoil party but it happened to few that i know in past....
Just to be certain that a Nov filer has been approved, can you make sure that the card production was for your GC rather than EAD? Sorry for asking this...but just wanted to make sure
Thanks so much Teddy! Yes ....I have been your follower from the "other" site and now this forum since a long time ...just wanted to share this ...so people around my PD don't give up on hope ...i am personally very thankful to you for always answering all my queries with great patience ....i sincerely hope u get ur gc very soon dear friend ....my best wishes are always with you ....
Congratulations to whereismygclost and veni.
This confirms that they started not only processing but approving pd's from Oct as well.
Do we have any one who got RFE's among us recent filers.
I hope, my attorney will take care of anything in case of RFE, since I am India right now.
Thanks for the confirmation...and congrats!!!!
Thanks kanmani (i have updated my login id!!)Veni,nayekal and president99 for your good wishes!
Are the processing offices closed today- Martin Luther King day
found some old document:
http://www.nafsa.org/uploadedFiles/N...2004142011.pdf
this one contains a Q&A with NSC and stakeholders. interesting to read. it's not that old, april 2011.
It talks about lot of stuff people seeing like receipt numbers not seeing online, one year EAD vs two year, combined ead/ap, processing times etc
Wov! That's cool....
http://www.nafsa.org/_/File/_/Notes_Fall%202010_TSC.pdf was very interesting.
Hi,
My PD is current as of Jan 2012 bulletein.But my 485 papers are sitting on attorneys desk for past 3 weeks for EVL.
Currently my employer has been delaying in giving the EVL.
Now since the dates moved by a year in Feb-2012 bulletein , would it adversly impact my appl if i am able to finally submit in Feb as i would get a Feb RD , where as somebody with a later PD than mine , could get an earlier RD.
Does this scenario effectively mean that i eventually end up getting the GC after somebody whose PD was later than mine.
Please advise.Thanks in advance.
Q, I believe that apps are processed in order they are received. But since allocation of SO visas is to be in order of PD, DOS would at some point retrogress and make dates current in batches of few months based on their inventory and SO allocated. Hence GC would follow PD order to a great extent. However in inventory building mode, like right now, some AOS folks cud get lucky out of order as well as CP folks definitely.
A very helpful link is http://www.uscis.gov/ilink/docView/A...-0-0-1067.html
See 10.11 section on : Order of Processing
Nishant, apps are processed in order of PD predominantly i.e. everything else being equal. If one is stuck in FP and other is all through then the first person even if is from 2005 may not get ahead of the other who may be 2007.
So yes RD matters... but only when both people are nearly same PD with same level of case complexity. Then hte person who filed first will get processed first.
Another time when RD will matter is when the entire category is current. So yes of course then RD is what matters more than PD. But for backlogged countries, USCIS and DOS do try to keep sanctity of PD as much as they can.
Thanks Q & Nishant.
So from your replies I can infer that a delay of a few days in eventually getting the GC could be possible because of the delay in submission but if all other things (assuming both cases are clean / no RFE / no other issues FP etc) remain same between two candidates , their PD would obviously decide when they get their GC.
So in my case if I am finally able to submit my appl in late Feb , I still would not be hurt as much by the late submission as anybody with a PD may be 6 months after mine would still be behind me in the GC queue though with an earlier RD.
For a moment I even thought of checking with attorney if I can submit my package without an "EVL" (& thus risk a RFE) & just lock in my RD & then send the "EVL" as & when its available. Such a helpless feeling owing to inability to travel for past 4 years owing to visa uncertainties.The "EVL" is probably the last thing employers control in this process.
Issue with PD printed in I-140 and I-485 RN
I had an issue with I-140 under EB2-I having a priority date printed as 08-Oct-2005 instead of 08-Oct-2008. Law firm which is handling my case sent a letter to USCIS to correct the issue but we did not receive an updated I-140 approval notice.
I became current in Jan 2012 based on 08-Oct-2008 PD and I applied for I-485 with the original copy of I-140 (which had a PD of 08-Oct-2005) and the notice we received has the same 08-Oct-2005 PD.
Question is: will this be an issue in case the cut off dates retrogress in the future and I-485 gets approved based on 05 PD instead of 08 PD?
My PD is Dec 2007 but I could only file in Jan second week. This was due to delays at both my employer and Attorney. What is the time period to receive receipt number after sending the applications. My attorney said its couple of weeks. What is the general trend for Nov, Dec and Jan filers.
08OCT2008,
You are one lucky guy i guess. I don't see any issues. The better part is they have to pick your case when it is ripe since your PD shows 2005. If all documents are in place and IO is comfortable approving your case you will be greened pretty soon. Good Luck.
Guys, Excuse me for the delay. I received EAD approval mails for me and my wife on 1/12/2012. I am a Nov filer with PD Oct 2007.
This is from TSC ( am i the first from TSC). No cards received yet.
About a week back my attorney mailed AP of my daughter which was approved on Dec 15th. Not sure if EADs goes directly to attorney. No approval emails for AP. If EAD/AP is a single card, why don't they get approved go together?
Why is my AOS package being sent to Tempe Arizona? How does this work? I always knew only NSC, TSC and VSC. Whats this thing in Tempe ? How does all this work?
Guys: Can I travel outside the US after filing I485/EAD/AP. I have received my receipt notices and I have completed my finger printing. I have a valid H1B stamped on my visa, valid till Aug 2012. My company wants me to travel international (1 week), an urgent requirement came in. I sent mail to lawyer, no response yet. Thought will ask you guys. I concerned if the I-94 details and last entry into US etc info provided in 485 app will become invalid. Not sure if its a valid concern. Thanks for your input
It goes to lockbox and from there it's sent to appropriate SC.
Check this.
How do you do this? My lawyer said they do not do the G<something> form in their office. She did say we will receive the receipts via email.
But how do I get these magical SMS?
