RMS... I see you are worrying a lot... i understand your situation... i would say sit back and relax a bit... Now a days no one is getting EAD and AP separately so you getting AP approved is as good as getting EAD approved... I wish you good luck and a happy journey soon to reunite with ur kiddoo...
Yes Teddy...it was an amazing moment to see that approval. However...the feeling kinda fizzles out after a few and u get back to reality. Nothing really changes right away..same job, same stuff...but it's kinda good to know that u finally have a "resident" status in the US of A.....and can claim unemployment if u didn't have a job in the future....LOL!!!
This whole process makes it so draconian....it should have been way simpler. Been toiling here for 11 years now...so I appreciate the plight of all the fellows who have endured and still enduring the numbers and the waiting game...
Hope to see ur approval next week......
Justice delayed...but justice not denied !!!!
Guys, Thank you for all the wishes..
Lot of information on this website..
Actually most go over my head..
Hope GC part of your life is complete ASAP..
Here is some background information on my case
1. No masters (India or US).
2. Came here on L1, and 3 years went by
3. H1 for 6 years, last 5 years on the same company
4. No flu vaccine in the medical..
5. My BC was registered last year in preparation for 485 filing.
6. Got affidavits for both my wife and me from mom/dad
7. Wife had a original BC
8. No issues in the past in visa stampings (4 stamps in total)
9. Company is fortune 1000, well..
10. I was told my company is in good standings with immigration..dont know to what to make of this..but that’s what the lawyers tell me..
Well..I seem to have fudgin’ done it..
Thanks everyone for your wonderful wishes!!
I have been very indifferent about the whole GC thing in general, pretending that it didn't matter, doesn't exist, whatever...but reality is that this is something that all us legal hardworking folks, who have studied, worked hard, paid our dues, paying taxes should not have to endure the torture of the waiting game. Now that I see my GC approved, and the feeling that comes with it....I realize that it actually does matter a lot, and all those folks who have contributed and aided through the forum, lobbying etc have my highest regard.
I hope HR3012 passes..and i hope the EB3 folks get their day in the sun as well. I sincerely hope that the current folks, who just started the process or contemplating about starting it, have it much easier.
11 Years is too long....!! But hey....this is the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA....not the "United States of Rocky Baba, where I am the emperor and the King.."
USA USA USA !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Got AP/EAD approval for me and my wife. No status change on AP for my kids though.
All,
I need your input on my case.
I opened SR for my EAD and AP and i received the below Message from USCIC. I am full time for the client and working for the same employer from past 7 years.
Any idea what is happening with my Case?
Response for I 765 SR and No update on AP SR. ( EAD is in Initial Review and AP approved but didn't receive any copy)

Hello Friends, I received a combo card today (02/25) EAD/AP (fingerprint on it).
USCIS text msg/email received on 02/17 that AP was approved and mailed.
USCIS text msg/email received on 02/23 that EAD was approved and mailed.
Just curious and wanted to know if there will be any I-797 approval notice for AP or any such document showing approval of AP.
Is the combo card EAD/AP the only proof I will have for AP?

Yes that's the only proof. No other notice of action comes with it.
The card would say on the bottom "serves as advance parole" or something.
We who come from the world of constant h1/l1 renewals always like to see that 797 for visa approval.
Couple of suggestions,
Scan and Keep safely a copy of the ead/ap.
Keep the paper/ doc that the card came attached to.
Hi Teddy and other experts:
Can we expect any Nov 2011 filer approvals from NSC next week? Is the 9% monthly quota equally divided b/w the two SCs?
I am thinking that NSC is just touching about 60% filers from each month and moving on to next month just to maintain the average of 4 months. They leave the remaining 40% cases languishing. This is my observation from trackitt with reference to Aug. Sept, Oct. and now Nov. filers. Do you think this assumption is correct? I find it hard to believe that every month, 40% or so cases are stuck in background checks and cannot be touched by IOs. Any opinions??
Thanks Pdmar08, Nishant2200, gc0907, harsha131 for replying to my query. I will check with my attorney on Monday and see if they received any approval notice for EAD/AP.
I know someone asked about this question and I did too few days ago, but did not really get a clear picture. Now that I have EAD, I know I can work 2nd job in any field even as a plumber. Question is....will I loose H1B status as soon as I present my EAD card to 2nd employer?
Hi All, I got my EAD CPO notice too. TSC and FP not done as yet.
ND : 1/17 not bad a month to get the EAD :)
Hi Friends,
