MA_Labor said:My I-140 application was approved on 02/04/2005. There was an LUD change on 02/07/2005, and I think that was because the approval notice was mailed.
But there was another LUD change today i.e. 02/23/2005. Now this really confuses me. Why would there be an LUD change on a 140 that’s already been approved? Any ideas??
NF-kappaB said:vinodtv, I think you are right. I myself filed from MA (ND 07/2004) and have still not received FP notice. From info I got from this and other threads and from taking a look at the xls sheet (LC cases with state info) many with I485 ND April 2004 to about August 2004 have received their FP notices if filed from NJ/NY/PA/(CT). But none from VA or MA. So filing location (or local center availability) might actually matter for this (and we have to worry a little less...).
Anybody having additional thoughts on this?
upandwaiting said:My current first three-year H1-B visa will expire in September 05 and I am thinking whether I should extend the visa.
I have not filed EAD/AP with my I-140/485. Now I-140 has been approved and FP notice received.
Should I just file EAD/AP while I am waiting for I-485 approval? I understand EAD/AP needs to be renewed annually but one year probably will be sufficient for me to wait for I-485 approval. Even with renewal for second year, it will save me some lawyer fee.
Any suggestion/comments will be appreciated. Thanks and good luck with all.

IMO, the LUD change menas that they actually mailed the approval to your attorney or company. It happened to me as well. Good luck for the future .

mike_inus said:In my opinion, you should wait till April/May and then file extenstion some time in May/June.
Its better to have EAD/AP

New LUDs 2/24/2005 for EAD and AP for self and spouse.
No change in status message.
upandwaiting said:Hi mike_inus, thanks for your response.
Did you mean to extend H1-B and file EAD/AP both?
