Good to see many approvals. My EB2 PD is Nov 2008. Unfortunately, due to employer and attorney delays, my application was sent only on March 12,2012.

I hope there will still be visa numbers left for me to get GC this year.

My attorney told me that I will get receipt notices in the next two weeks directly by mail. How do you get the email receipt notices? Would they initially send it to attorney?

THey will be sent to both you and the attorney.

Agreed with sonu. My wife received EAD, AP before FP notice itself. Now we received FP notice and its scheduled for 03/21

@Suri - Why you doubt it? The people in this forum are real applicants, not representing any agencies. And I think no one has a reason to come here and misguide others if they haven't received so, right. Think about it.

I received my EAD/AP before FP as well. My attorney told me that that might need a fix. wating to hear back from him. PD April 2008. I 485 Waiting. M

I just noticed today that my check for fees was posted by USCIS Phoenix. Does this mean anything?

Also, I applied on March 13th, why is it still in Phoneix lockbox office and not assigned to any service center?

Country-India

Myself: Primary Applicant

Husband: Dependent

Current in January 2012 Bulletin

Applied 485, 765, 131: January 19th 2012

Acceptance Notice Date: Jan 23rd 2012

Acceptance Notice Received : Jan 27th 2012

Finger Printing Notice Date: Waiting

EAD/AP Approved: March 7th 2012

We opened an SR 30 days (feb 27th) after receipt date for biometrics and received no feedback so we called 15 days later 3/14 to check status and they transferred us to the L2 officer who said that they we just need till our ASC (San Jose in our case) sends us the FP. We called again yesterday 3/19 and same response.

******** is helping me understand the EB2 EAD/AP status and FP dates for NSC but we have no idea how busy San Jose ASC is. I have taken an INFOPASS for Thursday 3/22 morning at San Jose ASC, I will let you know how it goes.

If you have any word of advice or any recommendation that might have worked for you than please do let us know.

Thanks

Hi, My PD is Nov 2008 and 485 notice date is Jan 18 2012. I got the EAD and AP but didn't get FP notice still.

Is there other member of this forum who is in the same situation? Do we need to approach USCIS for checking the FP status as it's more than 2 months? Thanks.

Probably USCIS needed money due to budget deficiency so they opened up the dates until lots of folks filed their I485. And now they just want to go back all the way to Aug 2007 as they have received enough fees.

I don't see any logic behind why they want to go all the way back to Aug 2007 after moving so aggressively.

See my case above, we called USCIS to check on FP notice and they said that NSC can not help me with is, whenever my ASC (San Jose ) in this case will have availability then will notify NSC who in turn will notify us. I opened a SR and they asked me to wait a month till they can open another one.....aka even SR's are not helpful as of now.

San Jose ASC is packed. You can suggest that you can go to Salinas or Santa Rosa which are less crowded compared to Oakland, SF and SJ.

Do I have a realistic chance of getting GC in next 2 months before retrogression?

I'm moving to a different state next week, should I notify the change of address for FP notice or will it delay things?

Or I can come back to my old location and do the FP?
