Post 485-Filing

[vizcard]

Thanks. once I enter O for spouse and procees. it asks me to select a 5 digit e filing pin. Do I select a new number or leave this blank? Does this new number become the efiling pin for future efiling?

Generally you need the same pin to exile next year but you can always get a new pin with the SSN and AGI. IRS has a micro site and TT will take you there.

reachme, Thanks . My case status is still not available

Kanmani - you should be able to see it soon..

[reachme_s]

Thanks reachme_s.

Mine is not available but it seems it will be available soon.

BTW I was talking to my attorney today and he said it is not completely impossible that you will get your GC by Apr 30th. It seems now it is totally luck - who picks your file, how straightforward your case is etc etc.

He also said that since I applied on 1st Feb and haven't heard back from them so it implies Background check, name checks are all fine.

Thanks Usernameisnotvalid - thats a good news! :-)

I got a status update on my EAD today saying, USPS delivered your card today. However, I did not receive the card in mail today. Do I need to panic or wait for a day or so?

Dont Worry Buddy, My sons AP was delivered to my attorney Yesterday. They callled me and informed that they recieved it. No news on mine and Spouse. Check with your Attorney. It will be with them...

Kanmani, Manzoorraza, Usernameisnotvalid - am able to see the status of 485 online today, it shows 'Acceptance'..you guys also pls check!

Looks to me like there is something changed in your Case and so it became Available. I believe you will get GOOD News soon...

reachme ,
JJGCJML is correct, Case status is seen after there is some activity. My best wishes.

[usernameisnotvalid]

The important thing to notice is your priority date: 2009! This is a good news.

Thanks for your kind words JJGCJML!!

So I finally got my EAD in hand. *throws hands in air and shouts yayyy* Ahhhh what a relief. The super smart mailman had put my card in someone else's mailbox. I got hold of him today and asked him to open all the mailboxes and check !! He did that and found it in the neighboring mailbox. Felt like giving him an earful but controlled myself as all my future mails are in his hands Though I have a valid H1 and dont need EAD to work, it has been stressful for the past 3 days, calling up USCIS, lawyer, going to USPS, tracking down the mailman. Glad its over. Now I hope I am the lucky one to get the GC by April 30 as a compensation for this lol.

Did you guys try to get a new SSN card post GC approval?
Our SSN card has some remark that needs work authorization from INS or something like that.
I read an old thread from trackit that we should apply for a new card. Is it required?

Good news that all is sorted out with your EAD. Don't get greedy (or your hopes up) for GC. I'm a Jan filer and will be touch and go (and more likely no-go) so like i said, don't get your hopes up.

No hopes really It just a sarcastic remark on USCIS random processing

You never know dude. There is this user gccrave on trackitt who is claiming that he just got his GC, and he got current in Feb 2012. He was still waiting on EAD. At the time of writing this post, he has not disclosed his PD or other details so far and everyone is very curiously asking him as I type this.

Check Trackitt's page 187 and 188 on the thread named "All who became current in Feb bulletin - Lets plan together" under the Green Card Discussion Forum (I-485)

Okay this guy GCCRAVE on TRACKITT says that he got GC and his PD is 11/09, FP 3/14. Is this even freakin possible?

Its Possible....

If you look at GSingh3422 Profile in Trackit HIS PD: 09/16/2008 RD: 01/10/2012 ND:01/12/2012 and CPO on 03/07/2012

PD: 09/11/08 RD: 02/06/12 ND: 02/13/12 FP Done:03/16/12 EAD/AP:Not Yet.

[manzoorraza]

Sorry guys, have been tied up with work in the past week or so...so less activity here. I have been checking my 485 recepits everyday twice and so far there is no movement there. With reachme_s's progress I am starting to have hopes of it working sometime soon; although, as a lot of people have pointed out, luck is going to matter a lot on who gets in in these last 33 odd days left before the retrogression kicks in. Good luck to all!

but GSingh has 2008 priority date and this GCCrave claims to have Sept 2009 which is way too far.

i dont think you will get a new card per say... but the restrictions on your existing card would be removed in the system...

[mesan123]

soggadu...

you had a query before for 180 days from 485 after GC...just found the below thread in trackitt, just ofr your reference

Hi Teddy and other experts:
Wife's status is stuck on RFE response review since March 19. According to the reports, the visa numbers for EB2I/C have been exhausted. No new approvals , even for RFE cases, since March 23 on trackitt too. Do you think we will see approvals starting next week or will have to wait till October 2012?

[vizcard]

So my wife is the dependent on my 485. She's on H1 right now expiring in May. We got our EAD already. Other details are in signature.

Question - can she change jobs and use her EAD without any issues to the application.

I think she can but wanted some input.

time will tell but if not in April then you will get it in the summer. Won't have to wait till Oct.
