Nope, just about 5-7 days. I don't recall receiving any approval notices by mail for EAD/AP but just the card.

Does it really take 30 days to receive the cards? The website also says that for AP the notice has been mailed but not for EAD.

Yeah, I was pleased for sure. My uncle who lives near my birth town had to make a few trips, explain a few times why it was needed, show a copy of my passport etc. The funny thing is they have now put my record online so that I can ask them to reissue it and mail it to me any time again just by clicking a few times sitting right here in the US. It is simply amazing.

If I-140 file is with NVC and one has field for CP to AOS, does USCIS need to get that file back inorder to send FP notice or for processing EAD/AP. Is it possible to get EAD/AP approval even though file is not yet transferred back to USCIS.

I think my original BC didn't had my name on it. I don't exactly remember but it was registered on next day so there's now way it had my name.
Original had dates, parents' name, etc. hand written and in local language.
About 2-3 years back, my father went to our Municipality and got new one with my name and everything. It is computerized and bi-lingual(Eng/local).
It has my original registration date but also has issued date as the current date. And it says Certified Copy and not the original.
Did had any problem.

Thank you for the info. Gives me a wee bit more confidence.

With AP we cannot still fly through some of the European airports as our visas have not been stamped yet right?

Received the cards today. Wish everyone here gets it soon.

TSC
10/22/2007: PD
11/01/2011: RD
11/25/2011: FP (on appointment date)
12/19/2011: EAD/AP Approved
02/10/2012: 485 Approved (online case status update and received email alert)
02/17/2012: Received GC

what they ask in BC related RFE seems to be random. I submitted my BC along with affidavits from mom and dad separately. BC was registered sometime after 2000. I think that is what most others would have done too.

Got flu shot as per civil surgeon's list. Looks like those who got RFE for influenza are due to civil surgeon's goof up.

Nd ?

My application was mailed on Feb 8th. I tracked it on FedEx. It was accepted Feb 10th. ND is I am assuming Notice Date..How/When should I expect to know the ND?

Thanks!

When you get the receipts, it will be listed in it. Wait for 7-10 days from date of ReceivedDate.

No emails were received for spouse's and son's AP/EAD approvals. Online status also shows updates only my apps; dependents' apps are still under Initial Review. No SMSs were received as we did for the Receipt Notices.

Based on issues reported by other members, is it safe to assume that the dependents' approvals will follow soon and there is little cause for concern?

Folks, am getting a little tense. Got an email today that the EAD has been mailed. No updates/ approvals on the dependents' EAD/APs. Is this usual?

The rule is that when you are going to your home country its fine but while you are coming back you may need to have the transit visa if no stamping. Best to go by one of the direct flights if possible if you are going over the Atlantic.

4. Hospital birth record with my name and my parents

Please advice. what should i submit. I dont have any other above document

Can i resubmit affidavit one from my mom and one from my dad. Please guide me with format also

IndiaEB2,
This is exactly the same RFE, that one of my colleague received and this is what he did.
He got a School Transfer Certificate from his High School (Class X) with all the details, which are present in the Birth Certificate.
A ration card with his father's full name, his mother's name (but no last name) and his name along with date and place of birth.
He submitted them along with 2 affidavits from his father and uncle.

I received an RFE to submit Non Availability Certificate, which I applied through ESEVA and as per them it will take 15 days to issue.

Nishant mentioned earlier that I can use Form 102 to get lost I-94 card.
Do you guys have an idea, how can I get a lost I-94 card for may 2005. After that I never went out of US on H1, so that is last I-94 card and I had 4 H1's after that and all of them are with the same company.

I came back yesterday and they issued me a new I-94 card, which has Advance Parole stamp on it.

congratulations druvraj and visagcinfo... waiting for others!!!!
ontheedge, it is very common to have one's EAD approved and not for the otherhalf... give it some time and you can always raise an SR once you are over 75 day mark...

I wanted some inputs on this. Both me and my husband have PD's in 2009 with his being later. So we have applied as - me primary, him - dependant.
While filing our Attorney didn't ask for his 140 approval. So on his 485 reciept PD is set as Feb 9th - Receive date

Is this common? I have read that if dependant have their own PD then it will be used? Should I be concerned?

Its interesting USCIS is asking for your old i-94. Because all your subsequent H1 extensions would all have the same I-94 number (in the bottom right portion of your approval notice) as the one issued to you at the airport back in 2005. I would not worry about it too much.

I have no clue about this, although one would think I must have.:)
Is it easier to just to fly to Toronto and fly back?

Also, some one posted a very good info before that you can get this from the Airport CBO

Yes. I have seen similar cases in trackitt. No need to worry.

1 week for receipt and plus 1 week for FP notice had been a consistently successful estimate.

It took 10 days for me, but there was Christmas, New year and 2 weekends in between. So, 5-7 days is a good estimate. Good Luck

what you have seen is common, but in my case we provide i140 for my wife and me with her A# from her I140. the receipt had her PD.
You should be ok but talk to your lawyer once. Its new to them too, ine user on this forum had a lawyer who knew that this change had been recently made.

Hello Druvraj,

Can you please share info like which state you live in, where did you go for FP and did you go for FP on 02/14/12 or did early walk in. Any LUD on I485 since ND.

Thanks pdmar08. His 485 receipt does have the correct A# from his 140. I will talk to my attorney and see if they have any insights on this.

One of the ways may be ask your parents to do an affidavit and present it to them for changing the record. I think Maharashtra Municipal Law allows that.

I had to correct the spelling of my father's name on the report, so I did get affidavits and a bunch of other stuff. They took their time but corrected his name (his full name) on it. What they refused to do was to add my last name or my mother's last name. Nothing i said would move them on that issue. If I get RFEd for it, I'll provide affidavits from my parents (which my lawyer asked me not to attach to the original packet, and keep as RFE response material for the future).

Omg, this is a very interesting explanation for all the BC RFEs!!

From user lovenil on trackitt:

"Seems like what Ron Gotcher mention on his forum seems to be true.

While approving AP and I-485, many officers are taking birth certificates from the files. So if only 1 copy of birth certificate was sent , it would go missing and generate RFE. Ron claims they have seen this before and that's why they started attaching 3 copies for all 3 applications."
