Post 485-Filing

[Gclongwait]

Guys, FP notice directly comes on mail, is it? No emails or necessarily any LUDs?

Hey guys,
Can you tell me what the below means
MD, RD, ND etc.
I filed my I 485 on 12/19. How can see if I have gotten notices? What notices are these?

Hello All,

We have completed our Finger Printing Today. Our actual appt date was 01/03/2012, but decided to do a early walk in and it worked fine.
ASC is located in FortWorth, TX. The entry office asked us why we could not make it next week, we said we have travel plans for the new year, our case was taken up to the ASC manager, he asked the same question, we said we have travel plans and I said I could cancel my plan and be here next week if needed. Manager said that they can do the FP today and did it.

Romanitaly,

I did the same thing as you did. Went to the Charlotte ASC today to get my fingerprints done. As a matter of fact, my wife and I are really traveling on the 3rd of Jan. The ASC was very busy and we were rejected in the morning and asked to check back in the afternoon. We went at 2 pm and were accepted for FP.

Now the question I have is, do we need to cancel the original appointment? Do they expect us to be present on the actual appointment day if we do not cancel it? Please suggest.

My FP is scheduled on Jan 9, 2012 and I am planning to on the same date.

Nothing personal against those who go earlier.

Is it really beneficial to go early? Isn't there a reason for USCIS to schedule it for a given date? Don't we give system a perspective in the long run that we are rule breakers?

I do not mean to offend anyone. If I do I apologize upfront but it would be really nice if folks do not abuse the system and folks with true emergency like family death, urgent travel plans, unforeseen events etc actually go and get the adhoc FP.

You raise a good question, but I think we don't have to do any thing, as we have already given the biometrics.

I will let others in the forum address this question as well.

Urgent help please..We are relatively new to this whole thing. The only knowledge we have is a couple of weeks of browsing on this

What should this typically contain?

Husband is Primary applicant. I recently received an Employer Verification letter from my husband's company for my H4 stamping.

It basically says my husband is employed as an XXXXX XXXXX from <dates> and currently working as an XXXX in the client location XXXX and his annual salary is XXX,XXXX. His responsibilities include <bulletted details>

He has an ammended LCA with the above detials.


Or just a letter to state he works with this company and earns $ and <from dates> is enough without specifying client details

Should the job title match the original Perm or I 140? What happens when you gain certain other skills during the course of the Process?

Guys,
Online status of my EAD/AP applications shows as approved. Same things for my wife too. Hopefully we will receive the cards in mail next week.

I talked to my wife and she told me that the ACS manager had actually changed our appt date to todays date. So we are all set, nothing needs to be done.

I am unable to check the status of my SRC numbers on USCIS site. Is anybody else also experiencing this too?

[grnwtg]

I think most of the people at TSC got their FP notice by now, not sure where is mine stuck. Is there any way of contacting uscis or should i give 1 more week.

Following are the current approvals of Oct Filers on Trackitt, finally new 485 approvals have started.
Starchaser, Abracadabra - NSC PWMB
Superman123 (Spouse only) - TSC
I believe that the approvals especially for Oct filers should pick up next month once fresh numbers for the next quarter are being allocated and current time being holiday season a lot of people maybe on vacation (Its noteworthy that EAD / AP approvals are coming fast). There have been atleast 10K approvals for the Jul 2007 / Pre Oct 01 filers this year. On Trackitt there are a good number of PWMB cases from Aug that have seen approvals. The Oct filers count should be between 2.5 – 3K hopefully most of them will get approved next month; even RD / ND will be significant besides PD.

Hi Friends,
I think i know the answer but just confirming. Can my spouse (on H4) use the EAD to obtain SSN without affecting the H4 status. Meaning using EAD to obtain SSN status does not imply actually "using" EAD or change of status.

Rd,
In my opinion you can apply for SSN won't change the status, if any one has definitive answer then please let us know.

I recieved my EAD/AP in mail today. Approval date in 12/16/2011.

Soggadu,

I did not receive any email. One fine day, EAD/AP was delivered to my mailbox.

By the way I cannot even access my application status on USCIS.gov using my SRC number. For some reason the website display's my application cannot be find and asked me to call customer service. Called customer service and they say my application is fine in their master database and it's not unusual that I cannot find my application status update on USCIS website.

Hope it helps.

Thats what i am assuming given all holidays. They have written on receipt that with 30 days we should receive finger print notice ( not sure 30 business days or 30 normal days)

[tackle]

Finally, got EAD/AP approval notifications earlier today (around 7 PM EST) for me and my wife.

ND - Notice Date ( This is the date where they will send you the copies of receipts)

Thanks,
My RD - 12/19.
Do the receipts come to the lawyer or the applicant? Also my company paid for both me and wife's filing fees so I cant look at the check withdrawal. Is there any way to know the status at this point.
