Hi Boomboom,
I got my FP on 05/08/02, 8 months after filling I485. Due to some personal reason, I didn't go for early FP (but I think you can do so if you really want to and ASC is not too crowded on that day). I have asked my lawyer to send fax inquiry before I received my FP notice. And my lawyer told me that they have sent twice, the first one was 6 months after filling I485. But I don't know if the lawyer has ever got any respond from INS and I don't know if my FP notice received was related to the fax inquiry. On PCee's list, another San Diegan vaishali101 has the same RD & ND as me, but he/she still hasn't got the FP notice yet. And also, I know two of my friends with Jun01 RD and Aug01 ND did their FPs only day before me. So my advice is if your lawyer is willing to send fax for you, that will be great, if not, just be patient, your turn will come eventually.
