Guys:

Received mail from USCIS tonight abt my 485. I hope its an approval. I did a basic search on ADIT processing and seems like its the usual and that its an approval. It was little weird, I received 3 mails in 4 hr period for the same case no:, the first was saying status as "card production", then the last one reverted the status to "Decision" with below text. Also, I didn't receive anything for my wife yet.

Your Case Status: Decision

On February 14, 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.

Is it normal for the dependent 485 to be processed separately. I didn't even see any Soft LUD on her case (LUD: 12/13/2011). Her 485 was filed along with mine. We both received EAD/AP together. Her EAD receipt was missing, but the FP carried her EAD receipt number, so didn't bother to open any SR. I googled to see if its normal for the primary's 485 to get approved and dependent's 485 pending. I see some horror stories, where ... in case of separation, the wait time has sometimes been greater than 2-3 years.

Anyone was or currently in same boat? How to handle this. How long should I wait ... say before calling TSC/opening SR/Infopass/contact congressman. I don't how my lawyer would handle this. Will send him mail, sure it will be around next week that I will see a response from him.

Thanks

Congratulations! You have been greened - there is no doubt. About the dependent case, it is not unusual for the dependent case to take a couple days longer than the primary. Wait for a week or until you receive the physical card and if nothing has happened by then, then you can start going through the usual route of infopass etc.

One more 'Receipts' question ( sorry Nishant)

Y'all received the Receipts one by one or 6 together? Ours is one missing still.

Kanmani,

Usually the receipt numbers are consecutive. So, based on your sequence determine the missing receipt number and check the status on USCIS.

If you are missing the 485 receipt and if you can check its status online, then dont worry about it.

If its the 765 or 131 receipt and if you want them ASAP, then SR is the way to go. Kindly wait atleast two weeks (about 10 business days) from the day you received the other receipts.

Good luck !!!

I called USCIS and Level1 officer told me to wait till my processing time become current. Right now they are processing March 24 2011 cases.
I asked to transfer to Level 2 to find out more details about case and I am concern that I may have RFE but not able to know since I can't track online. I was transferred to Level 2 and was told that I 485 is under review and haven't made any decision yet. They are reviewing and everything seems fine with application. Hope Level 2 can see step by step progress like Docs ok , All Checks ok .. etc.. Hope to hear back soon.

I saw one user with DEC 7th case got approval so thought of calling. I will call back in 2 weeks if hear nothing.

[familyguy]

I've got the same exact messages...

Guys:


Anyone was or currently in same boat?

Thanks

Quick questions:
1. Why can't you track online? Do the receipt numbers not work in the status check system?
2. Your signature says that your checks are not cashed yet - is it just oversight on your part to update the sig? I would guess so since you have had FP/EAD-AP already.

Well... it's finally come down to this. Any November filers from Tamil Nadu got GC approved? As I've mentioned in my previous posts, 4 of us with same PDs applied in November. And, 2 from Andhra-Pradesh have seen activity in their cases (1 approved & 1 RFE) while the other 2 from Tamil Nadu are still waiting in limbo.

Since my company wrote checks I couldn't trace that status. I got EAD/AP in hand week ago. From beginning I can't track my cases online on uscis.gov. When I got EAD/AP got approved I can see EAD now but not AP information on site. I was concern that if I even get ( hope not ) RFE , I will not be able to know in case If I don't get mail. I live in multi story apartment building and I have many problems receiving mails.

All I wanted to know status of app. I was told to call back in 2 weeks to see if review is done on my case and what is status.

[pdfeb09]

How long does it usually take for the receipts to be active on the USCIS status check?

[imdeng]

A copy of RFE will also go to your lawyer - so you will not miss it because of post issues.

Lol.... don't worry...I'm still waiting too. And I'm not from Tamil Nadu!

7 +/- 2 days.

Guys..please tell me what the processing steps after the FP completion by applicant..(A sequence of flow would be nice)
Also tell me is there any way we can track the application status/stages by calling them?

I called FBI # given in this forum and confirmed that on the very next day of my FP completion FBI send the results (FP) to USCIS. What else???


I am sure I am lazy to dig the forum to find the answer for above question

[essenel]

Not all will qualify. Some will be stuck in RFE, some in background checks, some will be stuck on I-140 approval for concurrently filed, some will slip through the cracks, and so on. And I think some QSP per month also being given by CO, else it would be just 3,600 visas for EB2 each month, not enough for such huge approvals. You are correct though, as soon as huge approval numbers begin hitting DOS, CO might start frowning.

man I hope this year is it for me, so close yet so far, I will die out of craziness.

Thanks for the response. I totally get what you are saying. It's the principle of the thing... after the waiting for years, the 485 dragging on for months is just annoying.... I know I'm supposed to be focusing on other things, but it's hard to get out of 'waiting' mode. :P

[pdfeb09]

7 +/- 2 days.

Thanks Imdeng ! I assume 7 +/- 2 is business days .. from the receipt date.. I think I will wait for a week more before I start panicking ..

You're done with FP and you've received your EAD/AP. There's not much else to do but sit and wait now.... I don't think there is a way to track the stages the application is going through, or we all would have done it Luckily, you are from NSC. Since they list their processing time as 4 months, you can call them after that time frame.

Lol.... don't worry...I'm still waiting too. And I'm not from Tamil Nadu!

Thanks for your reply. In addition to the 2 of us from TN, I also know that one of my other friend (from TN) who applied in Oct (PD: May 2007) is still waiting for some kind of activity on his application. So, I was just curious if any of the Nov filers from TN actually got their GCs approved or received RFE. I found from my friend that in addition to FBI NameCheck, there is also a IBIS check that might require local officials to respond to name-check queries.

I'm just trying to find some kind of reasoning behind so many OCT/NOV filers on Trackitt are still waiting in limbo while DEC filers have started receiving approvals. In my opinion, I don't think the approvals are random (in the sense that some USCIS officers are more efficient than the others). I'm sure this is due to some internal process that USCIS is following.

On a lighter note----

They are going by alphabetical order for the Indian states.

Here is the SQL order by clause

--ORDER BY PD,INDIAN_STATE


Relax man, it will come when it has to come. Data Analysis is good, but making derivations and assumptions out of co-incidents doesn't help much. We are all waiting here and its indeed been a frikkin long wait.
