same here
(ND 4/17/02) EB1 sub category a) - self sponsored, no job requirement.
I have no intension or need to change job until GC approval. But I still wish to get it as soon as possible. My headaches are:
1) I-140 was erroneously approved for CP (I CLEARLY marked: applicant is within US and will apply for AOS). INS sent my petition to NVC after approval. I chased NCV and told them I would apply AOS. NVC noted and held my file there for BCIS to retrieve when BCIS starts to process my I-485. An extra step (asking file back from NVC) = extra delay.
2) My child was under 14 when I applied I-485 and no FP was required (not allowed even you want to - BCIS goes by they book). Now the child is over 14. We will not receive FP notice until they start to touch our case. 1.5-2 months delay again. I hope BCIS system could generate FP notices automatically.
3) As with many April 2002 NDs, my FP will expire before the end of October, 2003. If BCIS does not approve our case by then (18.5 months from ND), I have to do the 2nd FP ?another 1.5-2 months delay.
I hope BCIS will identify all the three needs and issue requests/notices for all of them when they touch our case. If they do it one by one, oh boy, we are not expecting approval until next year.
God bless America. God bless BCIS. God bless all of us AOS sufferers .

I am in similar situation like you. I am also an EB1 Extraordinary Ability applicant and changed my job around 300 days after applying I485. I also informed my change of address. But my FP might have expired as I gave it on 05/11/02 and BCIS received it on 06/03/02. I hope the later date will count. My RD 01/14/02 ND 01/25/02 EAC0209451xxx.
I am interested to know about your RFE as I can expect a similar one soon.
