I can't believe my eye!
Just check the online status and found out my I140 approved on 11/01/02. The followings are the details:
EB3
I140 RD 8-14-02 Approve Date 11-01-02
I485 package mailed seperately about a week later
I485 AP EAD RD 8-26-02
FP done 10-1-02
Wife's EAD and AP approved later 09-02
REF for my EAD and AP received middle of 10-02 for bad pictures
New pictures sent out and online status changed to the following message:
"...your response is received on..., because the prelimilary review was done to this case before the REF sent out the final approval date for this case will be xx days"
xx which mentioned the maximum days possible for EAD (90) and AP (60)
Good luck to the rest of guys who are waiting...
