Yes, gchopeful123. I think I am going to start looking for EAD instead of FP notice now.

Mera aur gc0907 ka number aayega..zaroor aayega....

NSC is fast on EAD/AP while TSC is fast on FP. But i think both will converge on the GC times.

Checks cashed

Guys, got up in morning, read an email by Teddy, and next thing checked bank account, and check for wife cashed. for me, its company check, but I think they would first of all accept check only if application is accepted, and would accept wife's application only if mine is accepted.

So here it is:
Per lawyer email to me, mailed by Fedex overnight on 11/30/2011, so should have reached Phoenix lockbox at 12/1/2011, and today 12/7/2011, following in checking account:
ACH ELECTRONIC DEBIT Dec07 07:09a 0000
USCIS PHOENIX LO PAYMENT

The trackitt trend seems to be EAD / AP - 2 months, GC looks like minimum of 4 months if date stays current.

Applied on Nov 30 for December 1st - Check deducted on 12/06

Folks,
If it is in wrong thread then please move it to an appropriate thread.

My wife & I applied for I485
Details:
PD = 12/23/2007
Center = Texas (TSC)
Applied on = 11/30/2011
Check deducted = 12/06/2011

Few funny things:
Never been happier to see money going away from our accounts.
We put an alert on check debit of >200 so I get an email alert and it did not work because they electronically deposited (ACH debit)

Good luck to all of you.

Note: Special thanks to Q, Teddy, Veni, Spec, Nishant and all other Gurus, which have become part of our daily life.

Sogaddu bhai, GC trend is really for both. Hardly anyone is getting approved in less than 4 months at any of the service centers for people like us it is under the assumption that the dates stay current. EAD / AP is also realistically for both, some NSC filers are getting EAD in 1-1.5 monthsbut that represents a very small number.

Hi Guru's,

PD Jan2, 2008, lawyer received my docs on Nov28th, i agree each law firm is different in speed and accuracy but in general can anyone share how many days your lawyer took to file. It looks like some people seeing checks deposited 6-7days after filing, i am checking my account everyday hoping to be processed. I could not reach my lawyer (assuming this is normal), and getting nervous. Please advice.

Thanks,
Harsha

It depends on Lawyers and how busy they are ( some times they might be short of staff but lot of applications). And many immigrant lawyers might not respond first weeks of these kind of months. And also i heard TSC processes receipts little fast. So my personal opinion is not to worry.

I hope someone can help me here. My wife is in India now and our priority date will be current in Jan 1st.

Background
She is going to apply for her H4 and travel to US by end of the month. She is currently employed in India and does not want to quit her job. Planning to come to the US on leave in order to apply

Questions
1. How long should she stay in the US after submitting docs on 1st Jan? Should she stay here until the entire process is complete?
2. How long after receipt date biometrics notification come? Can she leave the country after submitting docs and come back again for Bio Metrics? on H4 visa
3. After doing Bio Metrics, can she go back and reenter on H4 on EAD
4. How long does it take for Bio metrics after applications submission

Any help would be great

Question on Medicals

Hi All,

I was skimming through my records and noticed that I have a copy of immunization form that I had originally submitted in 1999 to my University (part of MS application process etc.)

I contains MMR, Varicella and other required immunization information and is actually a properly notarized form.

Can I show the same form and get a waiver to get these shots again ?

Whats your take on that ?
