Lazerthegreat,
Very good news my man!!! I know how you feel, it was simillar with my case too. Last year I did my FP1, May-12. this year June, July, August all sorts of activity on my case and i was about to bet on getting my GC before the end of August, then September... And then!!!
FP1 Again!!! I almost sunk in depresion, but I gues my eternal optimism keept me up and runing. So I did my Code 1 seven days early, which was not that big deal, only seven days. The point is I did not want to loose a single f@#$%^* day this time, because if I did the same with my BIO (instead Aug-02 I should have done it when I had my notice received), good chance is my status might have been approvad in August. Again, I did not have to drive three HRS to my local Application Support Center, but if you ask me I wouldn't think twice!!! Go and do it ASAP, you will have your status approved in short time. One more thing; it looks like FP clearance/Name check or whatever you want to call it, does not takes too long anymore.
