Since I did not see a thread to discuss, Q & A for people who filed 485, waiting for/completed FP etc. I thought of opening one.
Any way to track our application past FP?

I guess no takers for the question?
I am not there yet, but am guessing if your time is past the advertised processing time for the service center your application is at,you can call customer service to ask if your case is pre-adjudicated?Quote:

Leo, we can do the following as we have limited visibility.
- Create an account on USCIS.GOV case status.
- Check email & sms notifications for all the cases. These only come for major changes also referred to as HLUD (Hard Last Update Change).
- There are various other changes happening on the application like after FP, for these only the date will change there are referred to as SLUD (Soft Last Update Change).
This is what I could learn by reading at all places. If anyone has details please post for the benefit of all.
My attorney just confirmed that finally mine and my wife's I485's were dispatched.
Good to hear that your dispatched your paper work.
I registered with cis already. trying to see if there are any other ways.

Just an FYI: My dates became current on Nov 1 (PD: Sep 07). My lawyers sent our forms on Oct 31 (Texas Service Center) . I just got (on Nov 7) scanned copies of our receipt notices from my lawyer. So, those who sent forms around Nov 1 can expect to receive notices soon if you have not received them already. Good luck!
As per my lawyer, they applied for me on 31st but my lawyer asked me to send him a copy of receipt once I receive it.
In your case looks like the receipt went to lawyer.

Did you get the receipts directly?
My lawyer said receipts will come to both lawyer and also directly to myself.

But I find it odd that they'd send multiple receipts (1 for applicant and 1 for lawyer) for an application. I'll check my mail when I get home and will update in case I received a receipt too.

Have not received anything in snail mail today. I will check with lawyer if I will get the receipts directly or they will get it or both.

okay. Cool. I will keep checking the snail mail box more promptly than ever.
Note - why on the earth we don't call the postal mail as mail or postal mail, and call the emails as emails.Quote:

YOU DO NOT NEED YOUR EMPLOYER TO FILE 485.
YOU OWN 485. So if you become current just file it on your own.

My PD is current in Nov. My company lawyer informed me that they filed my I-485 (along with EAD/AP apps) today. The lawyer said that they will provide a receipt number once they receive it...so i am assuming i won't get one at my address directly.
One question I have is how do I know which service center will process my application (I am in Michigan). Of course, I can ask my lawyer, but is processing service center decided by which state you live in?
My lawyer also sent the docs on 10/31 (PD Sep 2007). Havent heard back from lawyer yet or received the notices over snail mail. Will inform u guys if I get an update this week.
cool. you'd get the 485 receipt & fp request directly. Your attorney will get all copies.

Also my lawyer said he will send me a receipt number (not a copy), so I don't know if that is enough to check the service center. Anyhow I will check with lawyer/company if they can provide a copy of receipt to me and let me know the service center.

EAD,AP & 485 receipts belong solely to you. However attorney's tend to put their addresses to be on the safer side. Because they don't want to be responsible for things that could go wrong on your side, like address-change or neighbor stealing your mail etc :)
99.9% corporate attorneys are good. Put your trust and stay happy.

I think folks who filed on Nov 1st got the receipts. It might take another week or two to get Biometrics notice. My applications was dispatched yesterday by lawyers (11/08).
Anyways, if you haven't already noticed, Leo has started a new thread for post 485 filing discussion:-

and so on.. sorry don't remember all of them.. mine is SRC so sure it is TSC..
When they send out the biometrics notice, is it for a specific day, date time appointment or a date range in which you have to finish it?Quote:

I will be going on a vacation within the US between Dec. 15 -Dec. 26th. There is noway I can be available for the appointment if it is in this date range. Is there any reason I should delay/cancel my vacation??
From my understanding it will take atleast 3 weeks for you to get the biometrics notice. And as per USCIS here..
Quote:
We may schedule an appointment at an ASC as we process your case. It is important that you make every effort to make that appointment. Not appearing will at least delay your case. It may mean certain processing steps will have to be repeated. It may also affect eligibility for benefits, and could mean we will have to deny the application or petition.
Our appointment notice will explain alternatives if you cannot make your appointment.

Not me. Lawyer filed (rather sent) on 10/31.

The timing of your appointment is determined by the number of applicants ahead of you that also need a biometric appointment. We try to schedule biometric appointments as quickly as possible and in most cases you will receive your appointment notice within 30 days of submitting your application. We will send your appointment notice approximately 14 days ahead of your scheduled appointment. It is important that you keep this appointment. If absolutely necessary, you can request that your appointment be rescheduled however, please be aware that rescheduling may delay the processing of your application. Please follow the instructions on your appointment notice if you need to reschedule. Occasionally, you may receive an appointment notice to appear at an Application Support Center to have your fingerprints taken when you have filed a form other than those listed above. In these situations, you may receive your appointment notice more than 30 days after submitting your application or petition.
Definitely it is possible, I would recommend you to talk to lawyerQuote:
