Guys,
Me and my spouse case has been approved today. I just checked the online status.
details:
RD September 7th, 2001
ND Nov 9th 2001
FP Feb 13, 2002

I was worried to death about my EAD expiration as EAD expires Nov 25th and renewal was sent last week only. I am not sure if checks have been cashed cause my lawyer sends them. I can find out if somebody is interested.
My spouse also joined a new job today and we were worried that he might face problems with EAD. I also planned to go to India beginning on December and I had no AP and with EAD problems, it seemed like a risk. But now everything is cool.

I wish everybody Happy Diwali and good luck in green card processing. I started coming to this forum when My I-140 was stuck for about 8 months at VSC and was contemplating Consular processing. It is been great sharing information and similar situations/experiences.

For 485, I was checking online status two times every day since last month I guess. I called IIO couple of times during the whole processing. Once was for FP and lady said she will make sure I get FP notice soon and I did. so a big help there.
After that, once to change address ( I moved within two miles ).
Once was more than a month back probably, she said my case wasn't being worked on and I confirmed my changed address.
Most Recently, about three weeks ago, lady said I should hear something within two weeks.

Today, I checked the online staus as a ritual in morning and hoping to see something as a Diwai gift but it played same old message.
Then I checked again now without any hope and was surprised to see it approved on Nov 4th. I checked my spouse case to be sure and his is approved too.
 
Thanks Guys! I hope all September and before cases get processed real soon and all other cases soon. :)
 
Congratulations to u and your husband !!

Aa ha .. one more case where 485 approval might have been triggered by EAD renewal application.

I guess INS has figured out that they can get some extra money this way..... ;)

Sweetie - Good Luck

Sweetie,

Yes, I realized your situation as I was participating in your EAD thread. This is good news, and I am glad every thing worked out for you.

Good Luck to you and you hubby!

I have seen a Sep approval after a long time. May be they are actually taking a look at that forgotten step-pile. :)

Hope to hear some more September approvals soon.

BladeRunner, I did not see the EAD-renew-unspoken-rule apply in my case, it has been a few weeks since my checks were cashed...
 
Had same experience today...

Hi!
I had the same experience as you. I did checked in the morning and got same old story.

But Before I came to home, checked again without any hope.. Magic words were there..

Happy Diwali folks..
