If it's going to cost you a paid day of work, I would not bother trying to get it done. Some people have gotten them done without FP notices, but often times you'll need one; I would wait for your FP.

I should add that our status online was not updated when the notice was sent. Further, since our lawyer knew we were receiving copies, they didn't volunteer the information without my asking. That's fine for most people, but in our case we'd moved and immigratino is SLOW at updating case...

I'm sure there is. Best bet would be to ask the person at the fingerprinting place, but unfortunately they may ask you to print right then for your convenience :) You could be "asking for somebody else", though. I don't know for certain, but it seems to me that if the notice says you can...

In regards to approval after first FP, it depends when it was initially filed. If it was a while ago, it's possible that they're looking at your case to adjudicate. But, if you filed quite recently, it's highly unlikely that you'd be approved right after the first FP. If it's a first FP...

If the alternative is not having your wife included on the 485, I don't see any other choice, considering it's sometimes happening that the 485 is approved very soon after the second FP.

Golly, man. PATIENCE! Immigration is slow! We had ours done and it was updated around 4 days later; it's never, ever instantaneous. Something i've learned is not to worry about lack of messages on my 485. Different people have different experiences in terms of time line and LUDs.

Of those I asked, they all said both. In our case it was also both :)

That's unusual. I would keep both and go in on the date of the first, and bring both to the fingerprint place and ask them to explain.

The best Idea, I think, is for you to keep your hands/fingers well lubricated with moisturizer over the next couple of weeks. Have a bottle in your pocket. Keep them constantly moist and soft, so that the cracking subsides. Re-fingerprinting definitely is a hassle. It's fairly common, but at...

For those interested. 485s filed Mar/03 w/ texas service center. First FP done in May/03. Second FP notices sent out around end of Oct/04 (her notice sent out a few days later). FPs done for wife and I, as scheduled, on Nov 30. Appointments were for 10:00,11:00. We showed up at 9:00, took a...

I guess that may work, considering the other fellow got an FP without a notice. Remember, though, that officers get in bad moods often. If they are not willing to go with it arguing will net you absolutely 100% nothing, so just take it and ask for help from them, no matter how angry you get with...

Didn't you already make a thread about this less than an hour before this one?

You can try calling. Goodluck on getting anything meaningful done :) I woulnd't bother. Calling immigration is infuriating and an excercise in frustration.

Apparently yes, as one guy mentioned his wife's ordeal about seeing error lines on the screen, but the operator let it through. Regardless, I'd not worry about it. You're likely to read about unsuccessful experiences here instead of successful ones. I can't even guess at a number, but suffice...

They are unrelated, as the FP pertains to the 485. In my wife's case her 140 was filed mar/03 and texas is now doing august/03. We just had our second FPs and i suspect that the 485 will be approved soon. Since it was filed with the 140, I think the 140 will be approved too (I bet it is...
