Went there Dec 8th (got my card Jan 10, though my wife got
her stamp at the same time and did not get her card yet).
Get an Infopass appointment (at the time, they were about
2 weeks out). Try to take the first available appointment
in the morning (I think it's 07:30) and get there...

FP and FBI name check are two completely separate security checks. They are both initiated by USCIS, not by FBI. So, sending
an inquiry for name check to FBI will probably NOT trigger the FP.
Just a guess.
I sent the FBI a fax to 202-324-3367
Following is the template I used. Good luck.

Problem with I-485 processing date
I just called to inititate a case status inquiry on my I-485
case (RD 3/29/2002). The customer service rep initially
said that the processing date is June 04, 2002 (as per
the web site), but when creating the actual request for
an inquiry, the sytem...
Yes, it is option (d), which says
"I am applying for an advance parole document to allow me to return to the United States after temporary foreign travel."
You will not have a problem. Your wife and yourself do not need to travel
together. My wife and I have done this 5-6 times in the past two years.
The AP applies to an individual, regardless of whether that individual is a
primary or derivative I-485 applicant.
About the I-485 receipt...
EAD filed at VSC
RD 1/16/2004
Approved 5/3/2004
Mailed 5/6/2004
Received (Maryland) 5/10/2004
Expiration of original EAD 7/31/2004
Validy of new EAD 8/1/2004 - 7/31/2005
If you look at the processing times listed for the other service
centers, they all reports the same dates for I-485, I-131 and I-765 (c)(9),
and some of these dates are clearly incorrect (I-131 processing date
in VSC cannot have possibly moved from Oct 2003 to Feb 2004).
I think the...
Hello,
EAD3 RD: 12/10/2003 (E-Filed VSC)
EAD renewal had been pending for over 90 days and current EAD
was going to expire 5/8/2004. Went to Baltimore CIS office
Tuesday 3/30/2004 a bit before 7:30 AM (they open at 7:30).
Went to room 101 station 1. Presented EAD receipt notice...
Having an Advance Parole document will basically allow you to leave
the US for temporary travel without abandoning your I-485 application.
Of course, you do not use your Advance Parole on the day you leave.
You present it to the Immigration Officer when re-entering the US.
vsc_cc_filler,
In my wife's case, the EAD had also been issued by VSC.
The Social Security Administration office that we went to here
in Maryland does not communicate with VSC, but rather with the
local INS/CIS office (I would guess it is the same in all states).
What the SSA explained is...
When my wife got her EAD and applied for SSN, the same thing
happened. She ended up going to the local INS/CIS office (Baltimore in
our case, as we live in Maryland) and explained to the officer there
that the SSA will not issue an SSN before INS/CIS confirms her eligibility.
They...
