Here are my details: EB2(Transferred from EB3), PD 1/98, RD 9/23/99 ND 10/4/99, FP issued on 2/13/01 and FP done on 2/21/01.
I just called the VSC IIO to find the status of my I-485 case and asked her only a couple of questions.
1. The status of my application.
IIO: The case is pending.
2. Did you receive my Finger prints.
IIO: Yes we did receive your finger prints.(I didn\'t ask the specific dates)
3. I asked her how soon I can expect the approval
IIO: It should be about 30 days and she said she has all the information she needs.
Didn\'t elobarate the conversation as I know there are many genuine callers out there who are eager to talk to an IIO. I will call after about 2 weeks to check the status on my application. Cheers....

IIO\'s are giving conflicting information, didnt someone say that after FP notice, application is sleeping for 2 months. but in your case it seems to imply that your case has been assigned to officer.

It used to be 2 months for INS to open the applications after they receive the finger prints. Look at the applications with ND of 8/99-9/99 they all received the finger prints sometimee in 2000. It is only for the ND of 10/99 or later that have finger printed in Feb/01. And since these guys are already at the brink of the INS so called 365-540 days of time limit, they may be processing these application right away after they get the finger prints. So I believe they would be approving the Oct/99 cases sometime in April/May 01 and the Nov/99 cases in May/June 01.

Me : What is the meaning of case is pending. Is it with the officer yet..

Debra : I am sorry but we cannot share this information. But your application should be completed before 60 days.

Called INS on 03/23/01 about my case EB2, RD 10/25/99 and spoke
to a lady, said hi, gave EAC number :
- she was quite nice and said my FP was received from FBI (fp done
on 03/09/01) and everything looked ok and that my case was pending
- did not ask anything else. I asked if I can find out my wife\'s case
- she said my wife had to call and I asked if I can conference my wife into the conversation and she said OK - but I messed up the conference call and dropped the line - anyway my wife called and she was told her FP went fine and that her case was pending.
