GC_Wait_02, I did not make any attempt to contact USCIS about the I-485, as they officially went past my date only briefly, so I have no idea about when what got cleared. I would not get worried about their 'messages' as they have a few generic messages to say that your approval is still...

Finally! My GC journey comes to an 'end' too.. All, I and my wife got the coveted 'Card Production Ordered' email from USCIS. So, November 2006 I-485 applicants, don't lose hope. Looks like those guys are really moving ahead now! It still does not excuse them from their 'atrocities' they...

Richshi, I cannot laud you enough for what you did! You stood up to them and replied back in the same coin. Please let me know if they try to get back to you for this, for people like you deserve to be supported. I know it is not easy for everybody as some people cannot afford to take any...

All the letters to officials and politicos apart (I encourage people to do it though as we have to express our displeasure and make them realize their mistakes very clearly and how it is affecting legal residents of this country), there seems to be pattern to the approvals. I saw a couple from...

Jaffery, Tough luck. Looks like you're a target for their back-handed form of reducing immigration. Try the usual expedition letters and infopasses and calling uscis up. Stick it to the congressman and tell him that his despicable opinions not withstanding he has a freaking right to serve his...

Just to inform, I checked status online and it said 'Card production ordered' for both me & my wife. I applied for EAD renewal (1st) on 10/2 and the online status was dated 10/22. So looks like the processing time varies a lot. I hope we get our cards soon.

GCWait02, My profile is the same as yours. PD Mar 02 and I-485 RD Nov 13th. I haven't seen a single update either, except an Aug 07 LUD on my I-140 which was approved in Dec 06. I will keep everybody posted as soon as I hear anything. I think it is very important for everybody to let...

Guys, do you have a H1B as a fallback? If not, what are your options for now? I may get to be in the same boat as I have around 2 months for my EAD expiry and I submitted my app a week ago.

Couple more Qs. Is interim-EAD still being issued? I read some posts to the contrary. I'm pretty sure that you cannot work for the period between your current EAD expiring the renewal getting approved, but I would like people to confirm that this is the case. Can you continue working based...

GCSyndrome and IJaffery, I assume you have a backup H1B to continue working. Did you try the interim-EAD?

Leo_1003 and ybnyk, thanks for your replies. Did you two apply recently or was this some months back? Leo, did you apply in TSC too? Also, I heard that getting receipts is a very slow process nowadays. Any recent experiences with EAD receipts, anybody?

EAD Renewal time in TSC I just applied for my EAD renewal (will reach TSC tomm.) and my current EAD expires Dec 18th. Missed the 90-day deadline due to a lot of factors (ignorance being one of them - suprisingly the 90-day deadline topic didn't come up very often in this forum or else it would...

But unless the person goes back and joins the previous job after that GC comes through that GC app is not of any use anyway. He will have to apply for a new GC with the new company. Whereas with AC-21 the GC is still valid even if you continue to work for the new company.

I agree renewing is a very good idea. But I'm not sure transferring that H1 to a new job is a good idea.

GCSyndrome, I'm not sure why you're using the H1. If you do, you might just lose the earlier GC and have to start all over again. I believe what you're trying is : 1) To extend the H1B with your curent employer for another 3 years based on the I-140 2)Once you get that H1B then transfer to...

I think it's an abomination of power if the employer gets to withdraw the GC after it is approved? I agree that keeping good terms with your employer while leaving is recommended and just for that I would agree that you should wait for a couple of months. If your employer is fine after that then...

Prince 123, I would go for infopass or call them if I were you.

My typo maybe You're right zgreen, probably I made the typo when adding my 485 case number. gc_wait_02, quite a coincidence. Maybe something happened to their systems around that time .... we didn't make it to the LUD eligibility list looks like ... oh well, we have had a string of 'bad...

OK, I may have figured it out ... This might just be a pretty negligent typo on their part. The receipt number for the OD155A is exactly the same as my I-485 except for one number in the beginning (I have 029 instead of 028). So I have a very strong feeling that this OS155A does not belong to...

Moreover ... Sorry to break this into two pieces but forgot to tell you all that my I-485 case status still shows "Case received and pending"
