ND = July 24.... anyone approved yet?

My ND is July 24 and the processing times shows august dates but I dont see 140 approval for my case.

Any inputs... Does anyone has same ND???

Should I ask my lawyer to contact VCS???

As far as I know, the VSC won't look at an inquiry unless they are at least 30 days past your approval date.

Nobody is too sure how the VSC calculates the dates that are shown on their sites. From what I can tell, they are still processing many applications from July, June and even earlier. We've seen a few August approvals, a couple from September and even one from October that I've seen.

I wouldn't worry just yet -- give them at least 2 weeks and even then, take a look at the tracker to see where they are really up to.

ETA

Congrats!

I see that ur 140 is also cleared along with EAD.

But I don't see FInger printing yet for you. In your case 140 has been approved on 3/1/2004.

Won't they send finger printing notice immediately after 140?
 
Re: Re: EAD/Ap Approved

Actaully what they used to do is send Fp rightaway and as 485 is taking more than 2 years we have to do FP twise before we actually we get the Greencard so it seems that they are only sending fp notice only if my GC will be approved within the 12 months..
alteaset they relised that is a waste of time..to get the fp done twice or thrice in some cases..

that is what my lawyer told me..hope you understood

AP not received

My AP was approved on 04/12, but it still has not arrived yet. How long should I wait before I call INS?

Thanks!
 
EAD is still 1 year

Just recieved my EAD and it is still for 1 year only

BTW, does recieving an EAD invalidate my exisitng H1? Can I continue to maintain my H1 as well as renew it when it expires next year? I would prefer to continue on an H1 till the GC comes through.

Thanks

You can be on your H1 status as long as you you don't use the GC documents like EAD ( for employment ) , AP (for travel) etc.

Once you use them, you would be on your GC status and your H1 status would no longer be valid.
 
As far as I know, you can use AP and still be on H-1B. As for EAD, however, you are correct - once it is used your H1B expires.

Using EAD invalidates the H1, but using AP does not.
 
EAD Approved

for my wife. Look for v_k_g(wife). Still waiting for my wife's AP, my 140 and FP.
 
EAD/AP and H-1B

joyd ... thanks for the sanity check. And everyone else who responded.. thanks for the info too.

My current H-1B is valid till 10/2005. At that time, I also complete my 6 years on H-1B so will only be able to get 1 year extensions. If I have an EAD/AP can I still renew my H-1B in 10/2005?

Also, what has been the general experince with concurrent EAD/AP and H-1B at port of entry.. I did hear that sometimes an immigration officer will insist that the entrant use the AP and change status instead of allowing the use of the AP? If that is the case, then to protect my H-1B status, i may be better off not applying for an AP at all.. he can't ask me to produce one if I don't have it.

Ciao...

As far as I know using AP doesn't affect one's H1 status. Using an EAD does.
