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.

[tackle]

Thanks Tackle. I assume he did not go thru attroney

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.

What is IBIS Check? And what is G 325 name check?

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?

Its priority mail and no sign needed. If you see it is approved call uscis , they will give you tracking no.

[gc_usa]

What is IBIS Check? And what is G 325 name check?

IBIS is immigration record check , entry - exits etc. while G325 is back ground check for criminal records etc...

[soggadu]

congratulations Imechanix and familyguy....

[nishant2200]

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

[RMS_V13]

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.

Been in US since 1997.... working mostly in startups doing core embedded development.... never bothered about GC - until wife was diagnosed with cancer and had to continue staying here for her treatment! (In between moved back to India and the docs (best of the breed :-) declared she was completely cured.... Came here for second opinion and they still found it in her!!!). 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.

[gc0907]

Yes and even the GC will come the same way. No signature required.

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.

[grnwtg]

My wife and me both received 765 paper approvals last night ( not sign of AP yet), I am still waiting for my physical EAD card, I will waiting for a week more as suggested by Soggadu.

Congrats Family guy and ragx ( Hopefully your wife will return to 100% healthy very soon)

Thanks Soggadu!!!

[RMS_V13]

All that received AP/EAD before completing FP/or get the FP Notice, what was the Case Type on the FP Notice (was it just I 485 or (I 485, I 765) and was it TSC/NSC?

[Kanmani]

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 .

[familyguy]

Yes indeed and I hope the trend continues

Most welcome. This year has been good for u

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.

[ragx08]
