A# for OPT EAD is not transferrable to a 485 based case. In F1, you still have a non-immigration intent. You are good - don't worry about it.

Soggadu bhai,
I am in the same boat. Received emails/SMS that both mine and my wife's EAD/AP have been approved/card production ordered on the 26th of Jan. My wife's card arrived by USPS priority mail on the 30th Jan. My wife's EAD status also changed to 'USPS delivered the mail'. My status still remains EAD approved, you will receive a notice. I just called the USCIS today and opened a service request. Hoping to receive my EAD/AP card soon.

Yes you guys are right. I checked my OPT EAD card and the A# on it was different from the A# on my I140.
Perhaps I should have. I generally leave these things to the lawyers. Sometimes they do the right things, and sometimes they leave incorrect A#s in the application forms and send your packet out by snail mail. One can only look upon them with gentle reproach in ones eyes and a resigned smile on ones lips.
I know where you're coming from. One of those guys had an RD just one day before mine. I was optimistically waiting for my notice hoping mine would have been routed to the NSC too, but no such luck. Trackitt is very flaky at the moment, but the posts I was referring to was in the "Jan filers gather here" thread, posted somewhere between 31st Jan and 3rd Feb. One guy posted that his application went to NSC instead of TSC and another responded saying that the same had happened to him as well.
Pedro, leo, be careful in what you wish for :)
Per my lawyer, if your 485 file goes to a Service Center, that did not process your I-140, the 485 service center requests a transfer of the I-140 file also to itself, and that process takes a random amount of time, per my lawyer, upto a month at least, and the 485 file meanwhile has good chances of slipping under the cracks. So there is an inherent delay in case of such transfers. It is better that your 485 be serviced by same service center as your I-140.
This conversation had come up with my lawyer at time of filing, because he said the lockbox might give to NSC or CSC in my case. He said 99% will go to NSC, but in rare chance it goes to CSC, there will be delay, because CSC will also need to get 140 file transferred from NSC to itself.
Does this applies to CP-->AOS scenario where file needs to be transferred from NVC to USCIS. My file was sent to NVC in October(even thought we have not opted for CP), when we contacted NVC they said that they will hold the file(I-140) until USCIS requests for the file. My 485 application(PdJun2008) was filed on Jan4th 2012 with TSC--ND Jan6th2012--Received Receipt on Jan10th 2012, we have not received FP yet i was wondering does this file transfer is the reason for delay.
Normally how long does USCIS take to send request(File) to NVC has anyone experienced this before.
Tried to open SR for FP but got response from USCIS saying that one can open SR for FP only after 30 days from the day receipt was received by the applicant.
Guys, have any of you called FBI for fingerprinting status check. If so, what exactly did you ask them.
I want to call, but kind of feeling nervous :)
I did, right after 24 hours from my FP. Tell them that you've had a FP done at so and so ASC and you want to make sure everything is alright. The only information that they are allowed to provide and you definitely want to hear is that if the Finger prints are 'legible'.
btw, I was nervous too, calling fbi :) I think it's ok to be nervous.
Hey Nishant,
I had posted on this some days back.Here you go....

This doesn't take much time BUT FBI name check will looooooooong time and there is no way to check this with FBI name check department since they are not allowing any type of communication. The only way is to check with USCIS if they can tell.

Any TSC approvals for Nov filers today?
leo, gchopeful, sandeep11, thanks guys. I will give them a call tomorrow and will let you guys know what happens.
another question for folks, my wife just got ssn, after this we are supposed to again go to DMV to inform about SSN, right, enlighten me folks about it, those who have gone through it, what you did, and what happened. she does have a drivers license right now.
Any other steps you guys took after getting ssn.
I am now an official member of the post-485 thread :-) Just finalized everything for my lawyer to mail the 485 packet today. What a relief! My projected RD: 02/07.
As far as i know there is no need to inform DMV of SSN status till the current license expires.
When time comes to renew the license you may update the information.
Next step you need to do is make sure she gets a job and then you can go shopping with the extra pay check :D
Today i got email for ead/ap card mailed.
online LUD change.
EAD approved too - Card production ordered!

First pure E2I dec filer NSC approved. So it begins.
FP for him less than a week back.
Was about to post about it!
Not really sure if its individual's edu profile/case simplicity or IO who grabbed the case was just faster, which caused early approval. (discounting pd, rd, md, fp and all at this point).
If genuine then mostly starting t'mm we should see bunch of approval from NSC on daily basis.

Yeah! I just saw that post..though the user still not updated his tracker and wants to check with USCIS first...too good to believe. and note that PD is Jan, 2008
user on trackitt by name "kryolife" with PD 01/25/2008 and RD 12/14/2011-NSC got CPO emails for 485.

Since our records are same , even FP date is also same , I got only EAD approval on 02/03 and today I received sms about EAD card mailed out on 02/07. Still can't track I 131 and I 485. I know its combo card but did you receive card mailed out email or approval email for EAD. I know you had AP approval on 02/02 if I am not wrong.
Looks like my journey towards freedom has started !

Guys..This is weird..
The same day I called the CSR, I received the FP and the EAD/AP approvals..Some of you might remember that strange coincidence..
But here is the response for the SR..
The status of this service request is:
Our records indicate that we sent you an appointment notice requesting you to go to your local Application Support Center for processing associated with this case, but you did not appear.On 1/20/2012, we rescheduled an appointment for you and mailed you a new appointment notice.
But, believe..I did not receive one before..somthing goofy going on here...
It may be dump idea, but how about Approval projections based on trackitt trend and service center. For simplicity we can limit it to end of 2007.
According to latest inventory C+I EB2 is 2K+8K = 10K, if we cut 60 % for TSC, It would be 6K. Based on current approval trend in trackitt for TSC, How long would it take to clear up 6K? The big assumptions is, there is constant flow of Visa numbers.
TSC is still dealing with 2006 numbers(312 China and about 1K for India).
Guys, seems like you somehow know I cannot be Tamil :)
My translator is a PBCT (Pune born confused Tamil) friend who was carpool driving, with me as I was on iPhone, he can speak Tamil, but not read or write. Seems he screwed up in some words :D
Kanmani, I like ur sense of humor.
CO's salary must represent the top notch salary for a Visa Control division of DOS.
btw, as you all must have read by now, a Dec NSC filer got approved, he is going to call USCIS today for final confirmation. If FP done, technically from NSC, you can expect approval anytime. I still think these are fringe cases and do not represent the bulk of cases, but I do also believe that NSC is going to hold true to the 4 month processing time advertised to a quite high degree.
I have the same RD as you two. I got combo EAD/AP card, and also seperate notices for I131 AP approval for me and spouse.
I can track 4 out of the 6 receipts now....still can't track 485 for me and spouse...since we missed out on that batch job. I think the only time we'll be able to track is after a "Decision", until then...we are at the mercy of an L2 Customer service, twice every week for the next 3 months.
