In sugarland, TX....i think it is not a problem...however; I had valid reason coz my wife was due in March 1st week, so did early walk and they said they are fine. I think there shouldn't be any problem. But most of them mentioned that some centers might not agree. So post ur center where u need to take ur FP, so that people who had been to FP will let you know.

Thanks for your reply. I have not received FP notice yet. But wanted to see if it is a possibility.

I received my EAD/AP by postal today. Same day received my FP notice. I called USCIS after 30 days for not receiving FP. Called on Tuesday and received FP notice by Saturday.

My FP is March 27th. Did anyone made an early walk in at Oxanard, CA? Could I go for walk in? Do we have to tell them any reason or could go just like that? Do we have call them before we go for walk-in?

If you have any reason for early walk-in you can provide proof.

else, try your luck.

[if one do not have any reason, why early walk-in ?]

Hye iChap,

I'm in line for FP at Oxnard, CA facility. Please post your experience and if you were able to get an early walk-in done at this facility. I'm travelling to India this summer and would like to get everything done as early as possible.

Help appreciated!

Thanks.

call them. Until I called nothing moved on my FP. Once, I call my FP is scheduled with in three days. Call wait time is 30 days after your initial receipt date. Make sure your spouse to be in the call if you were applying together. Contact number will be on your receipt.

Any one could answer my questions above? highly appreciated.

my ND is Jan 27th, and i am still waiting for FP notice, no updates as yet from the time i got the receipts . Where do you guys call when there is no FP receipt , how long does it take .. Also i dont see any rule that says wait for a month ... and then call .. it can obviously take more isnt it .. i am not sure once again why i see random FP notices ... based on this i guess nobody from NSC living in san jose should have got FP notice if they applied in feb. If they did , then these are randomly processed.

my PD in may 2008.

How is that possible ... currently by I485 says it has been accepted, and i guess the next stage is initial investigation, so only when it reaches there will i get an FP notice , the moment it reaches there we do get a notification of stage change isnt it.

Experts,

pls post some comment.

Thanks

Hello Experts,

We have applied for AOS and EAD recently. We did not apply for AP as we have the visa stamped untill end of 2013. I was under the impression that we can travel using the visa.I have been working for employer A for last 7 years and employer B is the sponsor of my GC.

Once I get my EAD , I will be joining employer B. My concern is, Can we use the visa stamped for travel purpose until it expires after joining the employer B? Or did I do a mistake by not applying for AP?

Really appreciate valuable comments on this.

Thanks in advance!

holykick, **may be** for the I-485 change from "accepted" to "initial review" , you will get email and sms, but when they send out the finger prints, you do not get any email or sms. Trust me. my status is in "initial review" and I already got my FP notices, I never received any email or sms till date

Once you join B, A can cancel your H1B. Even if A is not cancelling your H1, still I think employer B should provide your visa for travelling. At port of entry if office ask you who is your employer, what will be your answer? Is it B or A? Then question will come if you are working for B, then why B is not sponsoring your H1b? Question may continue ....

I suppose you should apply for AP.

When I called USCIS requesting them to schedule a finger print notice they mentioned that we have to wait for 30 days from the receipt date. They will take a request only after that. I mentioned my receipt date and hence they had taken my request. With in three days I got FP notice in mail.

dush51

yes, we shall associate in sharing our experiences. I had plans to fly India with in next two months. That's the reason for trying an early walk-in, also had to visit client during third week of March. I don't want to re-schedule again. Anyway, did you try to go for a walk-in? My PD is March 2008, once dates are current for many, I heard processing is first come first serve.

EAD for myself and dependent is approved and received the card last week.

I noticed tht I received it for 2 years

And also ,My A# submitted (I-140 A#) is now the USCIS # on EAD but my dependent's EAD has a different USCIS # than the A # (OPT Card #)that was submitted in her form I-765

Do I need to check with USCIS or is it normal ?

Please advise and good luck to all who are waiting.

Hello,

Derivative's application (wife's) for EAD has been approved and even got an email today saying the card has been mailed. But the primary application (mine) is still in initial review. Did this happen to anyone? I am not sure how they process these applications. I thought primary application will be processed first and then dependent's.

Appreciate any comments on this.

Thanks in advance!

Each 485 filing is independent application.
