Looks like my EAD has arrived earlier this week, may be on Tuesday. I am out of town currently so I can confirm it when I get back next week.
Application Received Date is Nov 1st. PD is Oct 2007. FP appointment date and actual FP given date is Nov 25th.

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.

One more october filer - user rameshsamy - PD 6/05/07, filed 10/03/11, approved!

I noticed this too. Good to see some progress. Approvals are still sparse. Hopefully as Teddy suggested, the pace will pick up next month when the next Q visa numbers get released. Fingers crossed.

Thanks Teddy, Thats good news. Do we know roughly how many TSC filers waiting with PD until Oct'31st'2007 ?

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.

thanks dude... but then looks like you were never enrolled online for email alerts... so no emails for you... keeping everything crossed to get my approvals...

You will get a copy. I have no clue about your check question as i paid with my personal check ..i was able to see it in online

Thanks IEB2.
I just checked my mailbox and I have 2 receipts only (both the I485's). Someone said there should be receipts even for EAD/AP applications (in all 3 per person). Do they come together or do the receipts for EAD/AP only go to the lawyers?

[rdsingh79]

Received my wife's EAD/AP combo card in mail today. I didn't get mine yet (although I am primary applicant). Anyone else had similar experience?

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.

Gclongwait,
You should have received separate receipts for EAD and AP too. So total of six receipts between you and your spouse. I think lawyers receives courtesy copy for all applications if you have filled G28 form for all three apps.

I have come across this in the trackitt forums ( Dependents getting approved sooner, both 485 and EAD/AP).So i dont think its unusual.Yours should follow in the mail very soon.

Hi guys!

Walked in to the San Jose ASC with my wife today and got my FP completed. I was scheduled for Bedford, NH ASC, and thankful that I didn't have to fly out in the middle of my vacation here in the Bay Area to get it done.

One step closer ...!!! Signature updated

Are we seeing a delay in getting Receipts in hand each month as the filing window widens?
I have filed only on 12/20 and i know that i should not expect anything this fast
but as Soggadu would say
....Dil hai ke manata naheee.....
Xlate - the heart doesnt listen.
If its not too much trouble if people can add Receipts in Hand date(RIHD or something) that would give and idea. no pressure.

Quick question. I have mailed my 485 packet today 12/30/2011 to USCIS in USPS express mail. I have checked no delivery on week end or holiday, so that it does not get delivered tomorrow 12/31. Also I have written clearly on the packet no week end delivery.

I want it to delivered on 1/3/2012 which is Tuesday as USCIS has holiday on 1/2/2012.

Hope it gets delivered on 1/3/2012. Any one has any experience on Saturday delivery. if we mention it not to deliver some times USPS makes an attempt to delivery. I am worried about that.

FYI: Received our combo cards today (12/31/2011) by USPS priority mail. They are valid for a year.

It will come. I filed on 12/19 and got my receipts on 12/29 in hand. The notice date was 12/23. But like I said I only got 2 receipts (I 485). I didn't get the receipts for ead/ap. I don't know if that's because of the holidays or something. That's why I wanted to know if it's unusual to get the receipts on different days.

Like you I also got stuck with super slow lawyers. There was no delay on my side but the company cuts he checks and the lawyers were not proactive.

Thanks. Anyways there isn't much we can do.
I was jus thinking if more applications meant longer time to get receipts.
Also because of delays due to holidays. But ur info is helpful.

One thing I'd like to mention is that the EAD cards had our pictures that were taken during Finger Printing. Also, the cards included our finger-prints on them.
