To Rhino
Dear friend:
My receipt is Nov.16; notice date Nov.26. My SRC# is 02-049-5****.I got my FP done on Jan.19, and I received AP&EAD all in March. I called INS and the message is that the FP was assumed... I am now waiting for the approval. I am in Arizona and my service center is in California. By they way, my friend got her I-485 approval message from the INS answering machine. She told me she has never heard any real message change until her case was approved on May 30th, 2002. My friend also told me, sometimes, INS may be too busy to change the massage which may seem minor to them.
