ronbans said:Hi Guys,
We (me and wife) had our FP today at the Bronx Service Center at 1pm - reached at 12:30pm - it is on the Grand Concourse bldg#2378.
Filled the worksheet form for me and wife at the gate (name, height, weight, eye color, hair color, phone number, ssn, a# from EAD card, present address).
We waited with a ticket number - when called they asked for FP notice and a picture ID (we gave our EAD cards - some people just gave their driver's license) - that is all the docs they wanted. Once again we were asked to wait.
After waiting for 2 hours, at 3pm we sat infront of a machine which took a picture against a white backdrop. We had to give a thumb print, 4 fingers together and then each of the ten fingers and signed a signature tablet - took about 10 mins.
From start to end, we were there 3 hours with my extremely cranky son!
Hopefully I will have the GC by next year (one can hope right?!) so that we do not have to go thru this again. Good luck all...
P.S.: A $35 parking ticket was waiting for me at my car for an expired meter!

How was your Philly Downtown exp. Was is scary or cool?
These days FP is coming fast and you should not be surprised to see your FP appointment. I have some of my friends who have recieved the FP without any approvals.setami said:--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I have received FT notice scheduled for April 20th for both me and my wife. But none of our application has been approved yet (EAD, AP, I-140). Is this normal? Gurus please shed some light on this. Thanks.

Myself and My wifes I485 and I140 (for me) were denied couple of months. The cases were reopened on Monday (03/14/2005) and my I140 was also approved. But, my wife's I485 case is still not reopened. Would you like to know from experts here on this forum whether I need to call USCIS or do I need to wait?
Thanks for all your help !

Can you please give us more details about your denial and subsequent approval. This might help lot of people to be aware of potential issues.
thanks.

Recieved four emails for me and my wife.
Please update the tracker.
No LUDs after the FP message change.
LUD for March 16 saying this case has been approved.
I wish everyone in this forum the best.
All I can say is that it is taking approximately one year from the I485 RD/ND to get approved.
I have seen many many cases like that including mine.
My RD & ND were 3/12/2004 & 3/17/2004.
Godspeed ....everyone.

Are you really from Jharkhand ?
I was actually a little surprised that I got the approval since I was not seeing anyone getting approved with a priority date in 2002, and with RD/ND in 2004.
I had sort of lost hope, at least not expecting anything for the next 2-3 months, and then this comes out of the blue.
As they say, it comes when you least expect it.
