2005 Consolidated Tracker (140/EAD/AP/FP/485)
- Thread starter joyd

Thanks for your answer.
That is a problem then. I was under the impression that I would be able to add my wife to my application and since my 485 was current when filed, she could also file, although the approval would be based on the priority dates. It was mentioned on murthy.com quite clearly as well. Logically, say I get married, and I have an EAD Card and AP and after marriage I change my status to use EAD (although my wife is on H4), then what happens to her status? There is not dependent EAD status, is there?
From that logic, it seems that wife should also be getting some status since my status is not H1 anymore in that case.
Does that make sense?
I am so confused..

If you already submitted a 485 application (and presumably the EAD / AP) applications for your wife with your case before retrogression you will be ok.
My comments were particularly directed for those of us who have applied for 485 before Sep 30th when retrogression took effect, then got married hoping to put in a 485 application for the spouse but cant anymore because of retrogression affecting them...
If you're wife's app is already in, you needn't worry.
Of course this is all amateurish... call your lawyer for best information.

Spidey: It's gr8 that your I-140 is approved. Mine is still pending. Though, my EAD and AP are approved.
The only difference between your case and mine is that you are in non-rir category.
What does the luds mean ? That 485 is being processed ? I thought they won't process 485 until dates become current.
Anybody has any insights ?
SVD,
It looks like our Prority Dates are in the same time frame and I am on the same boat as you so far as status of I-140, EAD,AP, 485 is concerned.
I have not seen any I-140 approvals in past few weeks and as for 485 approvals, I can not recollect of any since the few that trickled in during the last week of Sept & first week of Oct.
Hopefully, the recent LUDs on the 485 applications mean something positive.
.....there have been some posts in this forum wherein the 485 approvals came in before the 140 approval.

Skip,
There is amazing similarity for our case.
There are many like us: With approximately the same dates. Movement for one of us should mean that there will be movement for others. Keep posting your updates.
I have never seen 485 being approved before I-140. It is highly unlikely. I have applied for my 7th year extension. Some luds on 485 might be related to that.
Since april I-140s are being processed, we might have to wait a few months for approval. We should look forward to the end of holidays for movement (late January, 2006). I hope 485 dates will become currrent for all of us.

Got the following email with a LUD. Anyone has any idea what it can be? I am nervous. Is this called RFE?
Application Type: I485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status

This is RFE... Do not worry...Its good sign that they are processing your application... it didn't get stuck in name check!!! Good luck
Here are the things which normally happen once you have applied for your I-485 -SVD said:
- Receive your Employment Authorization Document(EAD) card
- Receive your Advance Parole(AP) documents
- Fingerprinting done at your local ASC(Application support center) office
- USCIS internally initiates a name and background Check(normally done by FBI) only the LUD changes(no emails)
- Requests for Evidence(RFE) this is in case they require additional information/documents
- Wait for Visa Dates to be current for the approval of your I-485 case
Gurus.. Please let me know if I have missed out anything in the above list.

Since you had 2 LUD's after your fingerprinting the general trend is that they are working on your case and your name check has been completed.
Thanks.

thanks for the info
GCVaruma: Thanks for the info.
It's been almost 4 years since I applied for Labor certification. In the meantime, I am working in a small company that survived a few extremely close calls. It still lives on a quarter to quarter basis. It will be 5 yrs when I get my GC (if ever I get it).
On retrospection, I have spent my best years waiting.
Careerwise, I have committed harakiri (from Wipro to a small company). There has been no growth (moneywise or careerwise). I would have made more money from Wipro stock. I still can't pull out as I have already spent so many years waiting for GC.
This journey has not been worth the time and uncertainty.
