There is hope

New Member
Hi People,

My GC application was finally approved today (July 5, 2007) at VSC and I got the following mail

The last processing action taken on your case

Receipt Number: EAC**********

Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR
TO ADJUST STATUS

Current Status: Card production ordered.

On July 5, 2007, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow
30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you
we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call
customer service.

It’s been a long wait and I have come to this forum often (In the last 6 months, probably every single day). Forums like these were the only source of information about my application. I want to thank all of you for providing tit bits of information that I could piece to gather to determine status and position of my case. I have been a mute spectator all along and this is probably going to be my first & last posting here on this forum.

Here are my observations that could help people who have applied for I485 prior to July’07

*
There is still hope for some people to have their application approved before Oct’07

*
If your finger print was taken more than 15 months ago and you have not received further notice for finger print your application is still to clear Background Check (In that case it is unlikely that your case will be approved prior to Oct’07 as USCIS may not have allocated visa number to your case)

*
On the contrary if you have had your second or subsequent finger prints (Code 3) taken prior to July retrogression and USCIS had received your finger print report then there are good chances that you will receive your 485 approval soon

*
Also recent applicants (applied for 485 with in last 15 months) could get approvals prior to Oct’07 provided they cleared Background check and were allotted visa numbers. Only certain way to confirm if your application cleared Background check is through a Info pass appointment

*
Currently Background Check appears to be the biggest bottle neck for approval of 485 and in cases where there is an extended delay the only way to certainly know that it is cleared is notice for second (Code 3) finger prints. USCIS does not issue notice for fresh finger prints for application where finger prints have expired (more than 15 months) unless Background check is cleared

Again for like postings in these forums by applicants like me it goes with out saying that I could be wrong

Here are details of my case

EB2 – India
Priority date - Feb 2002
Transferred to regional - Sep 2003
Labor cleared - Aug 2005
Applied 140/485 – Sep 2005 (My 485 application has been in VSC through out)
FP 1 (AC3) – Oct or Nov 2005
140 approved – Dec 2005
Background check cleared – Feb 2007 (Information obtained from Jun 2007 info pass appointment)
FP 2 (AC3) – Mar 2007
485 approved – 5 Jul 2007
 
Congrats There is hope.

My situation is little different from the two cases you have mentioned.

I got second figner prints notice on july 15, which was issued on july 5th.
MY I-140 was cleared on july10th.

I have given my finger prints on july 18th. What is the possibility of getting the GC in the next two months.

Btw, MY Fingerprints are code1 on both the occassions.

thanks

Congratulations to you!

I have one question for you:

I got my second FP notice scheduled for this coming Saturday. It is code 1. Do you know what that means?

TIA!
