I'm a Nov 1st filer(PD Oct'07), TSC and 485 approved last Friday (at least on the emails). From TN.
anne.. neenga romba over-a yosikkareenga :-) (thinking too much) There can't be any pattern on this basis.

What do the experts think? Will the demand from Jan filers be met by Q3 quota or do we need to wait for the beginning of Q4? I'm assuming that the agencies will be busy processing Nov and Dec filers for the rest of this month and all of next month (Mar).
Its not that USCIS would approve based on Indian States , the actual discussion was what if any background checks are run in the native place also?
If so, tackle & I imagine that TN will be the last state to get cleared:)
Congratulations Arien. Enjoy your freedom
I have been noticing a trend with TSC . The FP completion is mattering a lot.Roughly 2 months from FP or about 40 days from FP most of the Jan2008/Feb2008/March2008 PD guys have gotten greened from TSC.
My application reached TSC just a few days later compared to yours however the FP appointment was literally given end of Jan ( probably due to CA centres being logjammed) .
Atleast with TSC...PD is irrelevant right now within the short window of Nov/Dec Filers.
I am not an expert and I don't claim to be one. But as far as I have read, only for CP cases you need clearance from your local police station (in India). For AoS you don't, as you are already a US resident.
Background check when you take up a new job is different. Several companies will verify with your prior employers abroad too (again depends on the Co. and the position).
But like I said, I am not an expert :)
quick update.... Got the cards in the mail today.... as pdmay08 mentioned before, i should have gone for finger printing in suit and all... but no complaints... couldnt have asked for more...
oh ya... for the statistics... i was born in telangana but raised in andhra... dont know if that helped my case ;-) .... Just kidding... I wish all of you get GC asap... Jai Ho...
Polapragada,
Let me say this upfront - i don't want to pick a fight with you :)
I noticed from your signature that you filed an I140 amendment (SOI), how long did it take for you to get the I140 amendment approval? I work for a management consulting firm which got merged with a larger company and i was required to file an 140 amendment - just wondering how long does it take to get this approved? I am a Nov filer with Sept'07 PD.
I will really appreciate your response. Thanks.
Tracking Numbers.
Guys, many of you asked this.
basically if your case status says mail picked by USPS, you directly call customer service, and say you need tracking number. They will verify your case status and redirect you to higher level officer who will verify your name, date of birth, address and provide you the USPS tracking number.
If your case status says card is ordered and should get within 30 days, the customer service person will ask you to wait for 30 days to be over, and depending on your luck may redirect you to higher level officer.
This is applicable only to "cards" , EAD/AP or Green card.
Good to know that you will stick around..... Hope Teddy and others get their GCs and you restore your avatar soon.
BTW, I finally watched your 'kolaveri' on youtube last night; was expecting a funny video with the song - given the reputation you have on this forum. Kind of a little disappointed to see a static pic instead (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6iVkj...eature=related was really good). Now that you are a free bird, you should seriously consider options to explore your creative talents - your lyrics and vocal - simply awesome!
Completed fingerprinting this AM. Went in a couple hours earlier than the time listed, but there wasn't a big crowd so we were taken in immediately. They took at least 20 prints from each angle for both my spouse and myself. Just the index finger for my 7 year old :) We were in and out in 30 mins.
Can some one make sense of this
I have got my EAD approval notice. I got three different emails and following is the content and time line:
Friday, February 10, 2012 9:45 PM
Application Type: I765 , APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION
Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production
Tuesday, February 14, 2012 1:30 PM
Application Type: I765 , APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION
Your Case Status: Card/ Document Production
Tuesday, February 14, 2012 11:00 PM
Application Type: I765 , APPLICATION FOR EMPLOYMENT AUTHORIZATION
Your Case Status: Post Decision Activity
How come the steps went backwards in this case. Do I need to be concerned, or it is some random things happening for apparently no reason.
TSC||PD May 29 2008||RD Jan 06 2012 ||FP Feb 07 2012||Walk in FP Jan 24 2012 || EAD/AP ||GC

Any updates from your side on the RFE?
Bro..me too from TN and you know i got RFE
Good to know that my dear friends are from TN..
Soggadu - Congragulations buddy...
Congragulation my friend. I m still waiting for my RFE. Donno when will i get it
That was quick leo. All the best. hope to get an response asap
Why do you think you got the RFE? Did your BC not have your name or your mothers name on it? Or not have a full name for the mother or have something misspelled? There are many folks here who have BCs with just first name of mother and some missing the newborn's name altogether.
well from what I have learnt ..every SOI case (the organization) is different...It really depends on how the new company is taking over or buying or merge
in my case it was a partial merger, and Fragomen was the attornary..that guy stadied situation for 6 months before filing the case..after filing SOI the approval came in 134 days.
Following this forum for over a year taught me so much.... I made sure I included a couple of affidavits along with my BC (late registration) even though my attorney said that would not be necessary.
Good to know that the RFE was about a trivial thing.... you will be greened soon....
I have a question post EAD/AP. Can I do any kind of job I wish to....
For matter of debate, can I work on 2nd job while on full time with current employer, as a PLUMBER if I wish to? or does that 2nd job while on EAD/AP has to be related to my current occupation or similar field?
No speculations please, I'd prefer someone who has more than "I think" answer. I am sorry. I know an attorney would be best choice, but just wanted your views.
I have a quick question. Since our son is a US citizen he is not part of AOS. However when the attorney send the questionaire it did ask about the status of our Son. Were we suppose to send his Birth Certificate as well?
I downloaded a list of documents from this forum and was just reading it and got confused by the statement below.
Birth Certificates: A copy of an extract of a "Registered" birth certificate, for all applicants as well as children not applying with you, is required.
Could this be a typo?
Thanks Pundit. I didn't submit child's BC. Didn't realize that was needed.
