A LUD a day......

Thats probably right, that would be cool if we did get the interview notice and have the interview in August! Of course IF that happens and we get GC approval, what to do about EAD, once GC is aaproved why would we even need EAD, I spent 170.00 and if I find out we won't need it and have had to pay for it :mad:

I doubt they issue refunds, But the USCIS should offer a refund of EAD if it is Not issued before GC approval is received. They should explain that EAD is NOT needed if GC approved,
 
They don't give you a refund. It's clearly specified.
Also, it's up to us to ask for EAD, it's not mandatory.
If we knew they were gonna be that fast, then we wouldn't have applied.
But what about if they don't interview you in August (I doubt it'll be August for you....they usually issue notice of interview a couple of months before)?
 
Realistically I am thinking the interview ill occur sometime in mid to late September,

I have read that filing fees are non refundable.
 
Just to add to the original LUD discussion, I've now had 3 LUD's on my I-485 7/19, 7/21 and 7/26. I thought it was just internal processing at first, but thats alot of LUD's in such a short space of time....Fingers crossed.
 
Got my FP done yesterday. The process was very smooth and easy. Got there a few hours before the scheduled time, had no problem going in earlier. First was asked for ID, FP notice letter, then was given a short application to fill out, turned it in - got a number, had just enough time before my number was called to wash my hands, the IO doing the FP was nice and friendly, she took the fingerprints and my picture, called the QA (whatever that means) who looked at my info/fingerprints/picture, OKed everything, I was asked to fill out a small survey form (3 questions) and was out of there....The whole process took not longer than 10 minutes from the time I walked in the door to the time I was back in my car. Hope no issues with FBI and looking forward to getting the interview notice, but really hope my AP comes soon...:(

Am I correct in assuming that the 485/130 is processed by the DO and the 131/765 by the NBC? I assume this is why some people are getting interviews before EADs and APs.

Yes that was my assumption as well, that would also be a reason why some people with the same timelines get their interviews at a different time, since some DOs are busier I guess or better to say more backed up than the other ones... and I131/765 is processed by NBC, so it does look like people with similar timelines get it about the same time (unless there is RFEs)...

Do you think I131 dependent in any way on biometrics???
 
Actually I-130s are processed by service centers (VT, TX, NE, CA).
I-485s by DOs.

And I don't think AP depends on biometrics...but I might be wrong here.

For concurrent filing and an immediately available visa number, both the I-485 and I-130 go to the DO. The service centers only process I-130s if they are filed on their own, or if a visa number is not immediately available (in the latter case they will reject the I-485). I read this in the I-485 standard operating procedure, but there's no explicit mention of where the 131 and the 765's go.

I think this is correct.

You seem to be pretty much on schedule with the rest. May be a little bit ahead. It looks like most people get interview in about 1-2 weeks after the FP appointment. Hope most of our interview letters are coming sometime next week :D
 
BTW, we called FBI about the FBI Finger print status few days ago. They said the status is already sent to USCIS. They also do FBI Name check( for 485), which takes minimum of 2 weeks after the FP is taken. May be that's why none of us have LUD yet after our FP. we have to wait 1 more week for LUD's in 485.

The same thing happen to us. We will not need the EAD or AP as interview is August 30, just over 2 months after sending the AOS application. I am on a H1b (expires January, 07) and just applied to be safe. I guess the money we loose on the application fees is nothing if we get approved this quickly.
Always better to be safe than sorry. :)

Still no LUD for me either after FP. I leave tomorrow for a weeks vacation, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that they'll be something waiting for me when I get back.
 
Same here...No LUDs yet... Read some discussion here that there was some glitch in the USCIS systems and that's the main reason why people cannot find their receipt number and do not get any LUDs, so I am expecting interview letter (let's be optimistic :D) this week...
 
My timeline is almost identical to pvkby's, my last LUD was on 7/7/06 and FP on 7/25. No interview letter as yet, but looking at what's happening with other peoples timelines I'm checking my mailbox extra hard all this week. ;)
