My 2 cents This is not scientific study but, based on my observation of EB1 (even for India), I do not think TSC is slowing down. I have seen atleast 10-20 EB1's approved in less than 4-6 weeks from 485 Receipt date.

Update Folks, Here is the update on the infant / minor: 1. Got a code 2 FP notice about 10 days after we got our cards 2. They did digital photo and one finger (right index) print. 3. Got "Card ordered" e-mail within 24 hours of FP 4. Received the card within 4 days of FP. My...

Looks like it Hi, Looks like you are struck in namecheck. It is loosely referred to as "Security check", "Background check", "Name check"

My 2 cents Based on what I have researched in this site and my own experience: 1. FP clearance leads to LUD in 99 percent of cases 2. Namecheck does not lead to LUD in 100 percent of cases Namecheck is a blackbox and the only time you would know is if you have an issue with it and your...

likely reason LUD today means USCIS acted on your record. Sometimes you might get an LUD tomorrow which indicates FBI cleared it. Note that FP clearance is different from Namecheck clearance. Namecheck takes its own time and could last between 3 days to 3 years !!. There are no LUDs or...

Good info. Hi, This is very helpful. Explains why I got an FP notice for my 22 month kid. Guess it is only for capturing photo. Considering she is so "overactive" it will be interesting to see how they will capture her photo.

Trends in 485 approval It is impossible to guess trends in 485 approvals. It could take few days to multiple years. In my case 485 receipt to 485 approval was slightly over 3 weeks. My EAD approval and 485 approval came within 10 days of each other. Of late, I have noticed that EB1C at...

LUD after FP Hi Arydk, LUD after FP (within 2 days) is pretty routine and I have not seen too many people not having this LUD. So, it might be a cause for follow up. Here is my suggestion: 1. Hope you are tracking the right Receipt Number (AP, EAD and 485 all have different Receipt No and...

Folks, Apologize if this is repeated elsewhere. We just got our 485 approval. We have been using ITIN for spouse and Kid for tax purposes all these years as they were not eligible for SSN. Now that they are eligible for SSN, what happens to ITIN ?. Also, when I file taxes in March how...

Congrats Congrats Kaleem... This is almost identical timeline to mine. TSC is doing great. Civ2ru: Agree that EAD and AP are a waste of resources if AOS happens this fast. Arydk: My hypotheses has 2nd success. Let us watch your case Tempus: Namecheck and FP check start at the...

Add me to the list !!1 Folks, I am almost in a similar situation. Self and spouse did FP on 10/3. Kid is 2 year old and did not get a FP notice. on 10/13 ALL 3 got "Approved, notice mailed" e-mails same as online status On 10/13 self and spouse got "Approved and card ordered" e-mails (...

My guess Arydk, If my hypotheses is right, you should get approval before Thursday / Friday of the upcoming week... Let us see..

Clarification Hi Ismail, bebesf2000 Seek clarification. Oct 13: Status changed to "Approved and approval notice mailed" (self, spouse, kid) Oct 12th late night got e-mails that card has been ordered (just for me and spouse) My doubts are: 1. When did your online status change to card...

Hi Folks, My really short GC journey is reaching its end. TSC has been remarkably efficient in processing my case ( 485 process in 4 weeks). Got the approval e-mails last night / today morning. Thanks a lot to Civ2ru, Nathan, Techy2468, Poong and others who clarified many of my questions...

Sequence of status change Hi Poong, What is the sequence of status change and e-mail alerts ? I have the online status as "Approved and notice mailed". However, I already have an e-mail which states "...after approval, a card has been ordered". What are the sequence of status message...

My 2 cents You should really consult an attorney as you are taking some critical steps and could end up being struck outside US. My views: - A valid visa is needed to enter as H1. Petition being valid does not mean anything. So, if your stamped visa has expired, you CANNOT enter. You have...

You should chase USCIS Suhel, you should chase them as it is taking longer than usual. I have the same courier date as yours and see the details in my signature. Not sure whether category (EB1, EB2 etc) makes a difference which should not, according to me.

EAD in Sept Folks, My EAD (1st) was filed on 15th Sept. It got approved on 26th Sept and card reached me on 4th October. See details in signature below. Mine is EB1, though.
