This is what I notice from approval trends , After generating receipt and approving EAD / AP may be by junior adjudicator case is forwarded to senior adjudicator still not to supervisor ( who can make decision on complex cases ) so senior adjudicators gets cases in RD order but background check can come in any order , as they receive clearance they approve so sometime people with slight later PD get approval faster than other people. Once they receive clearance they can't hold on approval if nothing is missing..

Just 2 cents.

He did go through an attorney. The initial receipts went to both him & the attorney. He got the EAD cards directly. And he got the RFE notice directly. I'm not sure if the lawyers got a copy of the RFE notice as well.

That is a very sound theory, makes complete sense. Many pieces of initial evidence are also common between 485 and EAD/AP, like all I797 approvals, I94, 140 approval copy, marriage certificate for spouse. Also they do initiate IBIS check within 15 days of receipting, as well as G325 name checks, and they wait for max 60 days for positive result to come back else they adjudicate EAD/AP.

I think that the biggest culprit for some has been delayed FP.

Your theory made complete sense to me.

Does EAD/AP come via regular USPS or signed/delivey confirmation USPS?

Can my husband sign for delivery of my EAD also in case I am not at home and vice versa?

What happens if both of us are not at home at the time of delivery? Will it be sent back to USCIS or can I collect it from local post office?

Yes. The G325 biographic information form you provide, is used to initiate background checks across agencies like FBI, CIA, overseas consulates, police departments, etc, whatever they deem necessary and applicable to your case. The biggest and most common of all this is the FBI name check. Just wish that no criminal used your name or a name similar to you :)

haha the only thing I know is that we do not have one. Really they ask the Indian Police for each and every case or only when a hit comes in the US agency records? I doubt that Indian police will be contacted at the rate at which they work + the fast rate of GC approvals these days?

I did have a friend whose file was pending with name check from 2004 to 2008. Ultimately he approached the senator and in 2 weeks received the GC

Thanks! So it is safe to assume that the EAD/AP card will be in our regular mail box even if we are not around that day.

Now she is in the hands of one of the world's best doc.

I did not expect things to move this fast... so, even if it gets delayed - no worries. In any case, I appreciate your wishes - thankyou.

ragx08, sorry to hear about this difficult situation. Best wishes for her recovery.

Sometime ago , I read in trackitt that someone got an RFE related to his pending civil case in Indian court ( property fight ). He was adviced to show a closure document in that matter .

I know personally that background check for employment involves checking our whereabouts in India .

Yes indeed and I hope the trend continues :)

That's great. Maybe I should have attached couple of Rs. 500 notes to our applications and asked USCIS to forward it to Tamil-Nadu police so that they'd do their jobs.
