Me too!!! Herez my story....
I received 2nd FP notice on 07/31/2003. My 1st FP was received by BCIS on 05/30/2002; meaning 15 months are not yet over, but still.... Anyway, I knew some people got their 2nd fp done well before their scheduled date, I took a chance and went to local BCIS office (as mentioned in the letter) the next day i.e. on 08/01/2003. But unfortunately they refused to take my fp and asked me to come on scheduled date, which is 09/11/2003. Looks like I will be celebrating GC approval and Christmas at the same time
Soon, I may have to apply for 3rd EAD
assuming that I may not get approved before my EAD gets expire in Jan 2004 (worst case, I might get RFE after 2nd fp, who knows??).
My details are as follows:
RD: 12/26/2001
ND: 01/04/2001
1st FP done: 1st week of May 2002
1st FP rec'vd: 05/30/2002
2nd FP scheduled: 09/11/2003
