you do have to setup an account with the USCIS web site https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/registercustomer.jsp and then you can register your cases (based on receipt numbers). You do get email updates (if you register your cases for email updates), however, you won't get emails for every change in LUD.

FP/Bio done
I just got back from my FP/Bio appointment. It was surprisingly fast and painless. All the officers were very nice, which came as a shock to me as I'm used to the people working at the US Embassy in my home country being very mean and abusive.
The appointment was at 8:00am. We got there around 7:30. There was already a small line of people waiting outside. About 8:00, an officer came out and told everybody to take their cell phones and other electronics back to their cars and to take out notices and IDs. Then, he let us in, so we could be checked by another officer inside. A quick look at the notice, passport, and fingertips; instructions on how to fill out the short form I was given; a short conversation with a clerk who helped me to fill out blanks on the form (things I wasn't sure about); fingerprints, signature, and picture taken (concurrently with a pleasant chit-chat with the nice "fingerprint lady" about why they don't use ink anymore); stamped receipt in hand; short customer satisfaction survey filled out; and we were out of there before 8:20...
I wish the entire process was so nice and easy...

My wife is expecting GC (Interview March 3 2007 - Des Moines). No Passport Stamp. Officer finished interview with no closing comments. After asking for the status, the interview officer told us GC is approved and we will get within 2-3 weeks.
EAD received last week. Status changed online (LUD) for I765 (EAD).
No status change online for I-485.

This is the fastest we have seen of any of her application move. I-130, K3 Visa took 6 mon. - 1 year.
The question is should we go get the passport stamped to get the I-485 status change or do we just wait for the Green Card??? I read in this forum that I have to have GC approval notice (paper copy) before stamping??? Pl. advise.
Thanks.

hi everyone...... i got done my FP yesterday only took 12 minutes, we were 3 guys in total por the FP......
Update see signature
I received my EAD on 03/26/2007.
I just got back from the Social Security Office where I applied for a Social Security Card. The lady there was very helpful, she said in the past it would take 4-6 weeks for USCIS to verify your records but since they do it electronically now she will probably hear from them next week. I hope I receive it soon I have a few job interviews scheduled next week.

I was looking for other feb filers - but noone has posted here for a while. Maybe you all got your gcs?
I am trying to figure out whether to file for a new H1B or to wait for my EAD because my job is changing. Anyone know which will come first? Also, anyone know if you get a stamp in your passport that allows you to work at the interview?
Thanks!

Hey rogio52!
I sure hope so! I need to travel to Canada in July. Having my GC by then (or at least a stamp in my passport) would make it so much easier. Otherwise, I'll have to apply for a Canadian visa.
So far, the process has been moving pretty fast, so I'm hopeful. I don't want to speak too soon, though...
Good luck with your whole process!!!
I'm new here
I'm new here in this thread. My husband just got his citizenship recently and I filed my I765 and I485 on 3/16/07.
My attorney got two receipt notice on 3/28 while so far I only got one receipt notice which is for I485. I need to wait a few days longer or call the service center asking for a copy for I765?
On the receipt notice, it said you'll have to bring this notice together with the photo id to take finger prints. Is that true? If that's the case, I'll have to ask them to send me a copy for the I765 receipt notice.
I understand there'll be two figure prints, one for I485 and the other for I765. Can I do both at the same time?
Thanks a bunch!

Got my wife's interview appointment notice today. I'm excited that the process moved along quickly despite the RFE.

Thanks ttinatl
Thanks ttinatl!
I'm supposed to go to Canada at the end of this month but I should be able to do that with my H1B - problem is I want to quit my job but I can't until my new H1B or my EAD comes through otherwise I might get stuck.
I can't wait until I get my gc - feels like my life has revolved around one visa or another for the last 7 years....
Good luck to you too

On my fp notice it said I485/I765 so I presume that the same fingerprints count for both
Hahaha! Same here! Also about 7 years...
So much has changed during that time, but the "visa business" has always been there.
I've been a student; I've been a worker; met my future wife, fell in love, got married... All with the USCIS "supervision"...Well, I have my H1B stamp in my passport, so I don't have a problem returning to the US. The thing is that, if I don't have a GC, I need a visa to get to Canada. Oh well, I guess I can always apply for it, but it's just a hassle. I'll have to go to Washington D.C. to do it, as I don't want to risk sending my passport via mail to the Canadian embassy, while my AOS application is pending.
