See the Newsflash! on MurthyDotCom. They don't have numbers left for most cases any more. They have used them all up more quickly than expected.

So if i have a finger print date for feb bulletin given as april 4th and as of today or march 23rd if i have not got an EAD. I will not get an EAD processed until the date becomes current to my PD which is feb 2009? Attorney 6 please confirm

what is early walk in for FP? i have a date set as april 4th per Letter.

It means that you can walk into the USCIS office any date prior to your scheduled date and get your FP done. Some folks say that this results in getting the GC faster, which sounds logical. We also did an early walk-in.

If you decide to do this, please remember - never run into the office, just walk in :-)

Good luck.

Very nice information. should have checked before on this forum. I got this finger print letter 3 weeks back and did not know about the early walk in. I was told it was only for emergencies. Would have been worth a shot to attempt it. Anyway with dates retrogressing it does not matter anymore. Thanks for the info though.

The case processing, including EAD/AP and fingerprinting, continues as normal even without any more visa numbers. But, the cases can't be approved without the numbers. So, everything else can be done on the case, and then it waits for more numbers.

Attorney, are you saying they won't approve even EAD and AP if the dates retrogress? I thought EAD and AP will be given and 485 will be put on hold.

Has everyone filed in first week of FEB received the EAD and AP?

My notice date is Feb 2nd. My EAD and AP are still in "Initial Review" stage. I have completed my FP on April 2nd. My I485 is still in "Acceptance" stage. The LUD on all of these application is still in Feb 08, 2012.

Is it normal?
