My 2 cents on early walk in. I know I have also been criticized earlier on the forum for this stand :)

Everything is fair in love and war. Early walk in helps your processing done faster. I am live example of it. I got my GC before my scheduled FP date, because I did FP early walk in.

If ASC allows early walk in, and stakes are high as is for EB2IC who live in constant fear of retrogression, and some folks have valid personal reasons too, on the whole I personally understand both sides of it, and am not going to criticize person who did early walk in.

All my life I was afraid of trying anything out of ordinary, making any special requests, staying on straight line religiously, always agreed to whatever was thrown at me. This time I did make phone calls for SR for FP, I called to obtain tracking numbers, I did early walk in, and was prepared to do anything and everything allowed to me.

I will remind myself of one quote from a trackit filer more often

The names we ascribe to the service center is totally a function of the state of our mind.

Which in fact very well true as the more and more we ponder over it we try to be creative giving unique names, but it is because of the frustation rising out on the helplessness of us post the filing..

Attorney Murthy : A person has to receive the EAD in order to work for a new employer on the EAD. Merely having an approval notice or seeing the approval status on the USCIS WebSite is not sufficient to be able to work legally on the EAD. A person does not need to do anything to switch from H1B to EAD. Merely by working for another employer on an EAD, a person is deemed to abandon the H1B status and opt for the EAD, unless the person requests the new employer to file an H1B petition extension with the new employer, in which case a person maintains both statuses at the same time, which is legally permissible. Only after travel abroad and reentering the U.S., a person has to choose to enter as a parolee or on H1B status, but, then, as stated above, one may revert to H1B status by filing an H1B extension even if one enters as a parolee, if one is still working for the same H1B employer.

Thank you Leo4ever,

I was under similar assumption that once having used EAD (even for part time) one would lose their H1B status until i spoke with my attorney.
Having had this strongly wired into my head i am a bit optimistic now after doing some more research on various forums.
It appears that one can use EAD for part time purposes and still maintain H1B as long as the conditions in the LCA are followed.
I still have to do more research and crawl through some more lawyer forums.
Thanks again for your input.

Congrats for the new permanent 'Aliens' :)

I did early walk-in too, and I have a couple of reasons for that...
1. We got two different appointment dates, 4 days apart.
2. The ASC is 70+ miles away and the appmt is at 9am. Given the erratic winter weather conditions and the morning traffic into the metro, I was worried that the chances of missing the appointment are very high.

To preempt unnecessary complications, I decided to walk-in on a day and time that is more convenient for me. I'm a Jan filer and with PD in mid 08 and I don't expect early walk-in would in any way benefit my case.

Thanks gcseeker. You would be greened pretty soon.

With the NSC stand on processing time I am sure most of th Dec filers would be greened from now and sometime in March....though TSC says 9 months somehow i think they are playing safe....hoping TSC starts approvals starting from tomorrow for Dec filers....last thu/fri/sat TSC was very active for Dec filers.....

As Nishant mentioned Early Walk In definitely helps.....if you are 'allowed' for an early walk at your ASC I recommend for it.....

Thanks for the wishes Sandeep.I am done with my FP and did it on the date that was assigned to me :) . I had tried for early FP in mid january but was turned away at the ASC, at that time did not know ..one could try at nearby centres. I wish had done that because that would have literally shaved off 3 weeks of background processing.

Anywaz hope TSC starts looking at Dec filers soon.

It is not a question of ascribing names . TSC has not been really straightforward in updating its processing times preventing people from generating Service requests. Also the pattern of approvals is based on early FP + RD dates throwing out the concept of PD.TSC is approving March 2008 guys leaving July -Dec 2007 guys standing.

:) Also since you are in the mood for zen wisdom let me also try one nugget of wisdom.

"Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes"

Nishant, Congratz on your GC! Loved reading your story.

Your situation (Dec/Nov filer) is different from Jan/Feb filers. PDs were swept across a whole year (almost). As of today, ASC is still processing only November and December Filers. When my file is picked up, regardless of an early walk-in or not it would be processed at the same time. So, there is really no difference what so ever and I am not causing harm to anyone by going in early and ONLY because my personal situation demands so.

If I were allowed to do an early walk-in Feb 2nd week, is my file going to be picked up and I get a GC in 3 weeks (like you?) Honestly No because ASC is still processing Nov and Dec filers.
If I went on the scheduled appt date of Feb 27, is my file going to be picked up late? No.

So, really for Jan and Feb filers, it makes no difference + FBI turn around time is 24 hours.

Congrats Nishanth!! The grass is always greener on the other side, and now you have crossed the bridge :)

I agree, there is more predictability to the beast with NSC than TSC, if we can use the word predictable that is.

NSC is going by RD a whole lot. Within a period of RD they are looking at, all the dates that are current at that moment, are "allowable" without regards to PD.

Only quick inventory making, retrogression, gradual movement in batches, can control ordering by PD, that is my conclusion. Right now is bonanza time though, and those who get lucky, are akin to have made hay while the sun shone oh so brightly for them.

thanks dude. I wish it was a bit light at work though. man I am seriously hammered with so much stuff going on, that I haven't got a moment of peace at work to celebrate this GC. Waiting for the damn weekend!

With February coming to end soon; latest processing times (updated on 02/21) for NSC indicating I-485 processing times of 4 month and with majority of November filers still pending, do you think we will see a lot of approvals before the end of feb. or NSC does not care if they see a whole bunch of SRs created in the first week of march from pending Nov. filers.

What is the relevance of processing time of 4 months if NSC is not able to approve a MAJORITY of Nov filers by Feb 29???

That was quick after rfe response. so i will keep my finger's crossed.

---

per trackitt data, more than 50% of nov filers are approved, around 10% have RFE (meaning file is touched), and there is tendency of many users to add record to trackitt when they are approved. So I would like to say around 70% of files have been touched (approved or RFE), and there is still few days to go for Feb to end. I think if they get to 80% of Nov filers approved by Feb end, that would satisfy the MAJORITY of Nov filers that you talk about. And I think that's not bad.

There will always be few outliers, due to various reasons like delays in name checks, some special circumstances warranting review by supervisors, or an IO who took over some files but went out sick or on vacation. The rule about the name check is that if they dont get response for 180 days, they can issue GC, and later on they can cancel GC and start removal proceedings if derogatory information comes back in name check.

I think a Nov filer who does not get it by Feb end and is from NSC, should wait for a week more, maybe see how April VB is if possible, and then open SR with USCIS and can also approach congress or senator person. No harm in trying all avenues.

I am personally expecting a lot of approvals from NSC now till end of Feb.

As of this moment, 71 cases out of 156 filed at NSC in Nov. 2011 (as per trackitt tracker) are approved which is about 45% (less than 50%) and 15 cases are pending with RFE (about 10%), and a 70 cases (approx the same number as approved -45%) are still PENDING without any RFE. MAJORITY of cases have been touched. USCIS basically means that they will TOUCH more than 50% of the cases within the processing time released. This means that TSC will touch atleast 55% of the Nov 2011 cases by June 2012.

70 miles only ? i am in the east coast , and they had sent appointment for a west coast center :) had to do the early walk in.

it seems it all depends on the center; i went to one in Alexandria, VA and was done in < 30 minutes.

Got it finally! Received my I485 Approval email after noon today. However, I haven't received the I485 Approval for my wife yet. Her case status online still shows up as "Initial Review". I'll have to curb my happiness for a few more days until she gets it :)

Thanks to Q for creating such a platform wherein GC seekers can share their thoughts about their GC journey.

Thanks one and all. I hope to be back soon to post my wife's I485 approval info. :)

3. Any employment authorization documents that were issued for her benefit.

For the first one, I applied for Non Availability Certificate in India and will be getting it in a week or so.
For the second one, I don't have I-94 card and I am planning to send them the passport copies containing the port of entry and date for May 2005. Do you guys think, that would be sufficient?
For the third one, I am providing all copies of H1's and OPT Card. Is it enough?

---

I felt like this is easy to get, but now it became much more complex issue.
I applied through e-seva for Non Availability Certificate for not having BC. They rejected my app saying how is it possible that I was born in one municipality and studied in another municipality even though both of them are in the same city. My dad couldn't convince the officials saying that it is possible.
Now, I am taking different routes to get the work done. I will keep you guys posted.

Regarding I-94, I went to airport and requested them. The official politely refused and told me to use form 102.
I sent the stamped copies of my passport for that date when the I-94 was issued to my attorney and looks like it is good enough as per him.

Indiaeb2 and others, thanks a bunch.

Many congratulations to you, good luck to you wife. Enjoy the moment.

Got my I-485 approval email. This site has been very helpful. Thanks for every one. I have updated the details in the signature.

Congrats Nagana and Haripathi (good luck with your wife's 485)

Called Level 2 again today and was told that its pending review. Looks like no one has looked at file. Since its same status since last week , I believe if they had looked at it it will not take more than couple of days to approve or issue RFE. Will call again in March first week.

My 2 cents on this: Looking at the rate at which NSC is going, it looks like they'll touch at least 90% of Nov filers before the end of their 4th month. There's still 5 more working days to go before Nov 1 NSC filers reach the end of their 4th month. And not all the Nov filers have RD of Nov 1.

i know i am asking question in wrong forum and please forgive me for that...i am in process to file my 485 and when filling out the form i can see the telephone number but don't see anywhere to put EMAIL address, and when reading through several blogs lot of people get email confirmations....am i missing something?

Folks,
few days after my status went to Card/Doc produced, the status changed to Decision this morning with the following message. Is this something to worry about, am i still greened? I searched on G , and the ADIT refers to some additional processing before the GC is actually sent, however ,would like to confirm with others here. Any idea how long it would take to get the actual card in hand?
Thanks in advance.

-----
On February 22, 2012, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the applicant/petitioner. You can use our current processing time to gauge when you can expect to receive a final decision.

If you are talking about receiving email/sms notifications after submitting your applications, once you receive the receipts for your applications, you can go to https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ter...textType=CU_EN ; create a new account; add your receipt numbers to your "portfolio" and subscribe for sms/email notifications. Once you've done that, you'll receive notifications on important updates to your case.

I'm not sure if there is a different way to do this.

Many thanks for your kind response.

For getting email/sms confirmation of your application *reaching* USCIS, you need to include a Form G-1145 with your application. After acceptance, you need to follow what tackle said below to get email/sms for any updates to your case.

Thanks Sandeep for your wonderful words, By seeing your post itself I was very emotional. Hopefully I will be greened very soon( But I am from TSC, hopefully TSC picks up like NSC).
Finally called Customer service to report that I did not received my EAD even thought i received approval notices couple of weeks back, she had taken all my info (including address, phone, email) and sent out Info that I did not received my Card. Later I asked her to transfer to IO, she did, but she was not sure about L2 officer. IO said that my file is processing fine and no issues till now, I am not sure if she was able to see all info on file but said she cannot tell if my Name Check is cleared or not.

Thanks Buddy for your Precious words. Your other post was very inspiring about not taking any out of box decisions. I felt it was me, Many of people sorrounding me who has green card or citizenship came to usa after I came and many of them do have even a proper bachelor degree. I took Managerial position in 2007 and out of fear of H1/Green Card Had to come to come back to layman level.

jo ho gaya woh ho gaya. what happened has gone. get your GC and let's start life afresh after that. I am hoping my parents get visa this year. I have lot of hope and positive energy now, GC has revitalized me.

a couple days back, my 3 year old daughter, dropped a toy in her bathroom and flushed it. since then water is clogged. I will have to get plumber, probably replace toilet, expenses maybe 400 dollars and lot of headache. I at first got frustrated and bit upset. But as soon as saw daughter's face, forgot all of it. I remembered all the mistakes I did in my life, and as much more grown up than her. What then to blame a 3 year old child, your own child. I will just do the needful, get it repaired, and remove all small toys from the bathroom replaced with the big plastic rubber type bath tub toys
