nother1inline said:Yes, I think (based on my lawyer's input) that this is true.
basically it says something like " if this is a receipt notice for I485, please call an 800 number to schedule an appointment. We cannot do certain things without you scheduling/showing up for this appointment". This is under a head of Biometrics appointment.
LCA - 01 said:nother1inline,
Did you schedule your FP by calling number mentioned in I-485 receipt ? What date did you get for FP? I haven't received receipt from my lawyer yet
Thanks
Even the NCS CS people aren't aware of this change. She was asking for the ASC# which was not there in the receipt. Then she put me on hold for 2-3 minutes. Later she asked for my A# and started the procedure to fix an appointment. Looks like its effective from Aug 01.LCA - 01 said:I think there is lot of confusion about FP notice. As I understand the process has changed from this month. In older process you would receive FP notice from USCIS and you have to go for FP on a date mentioned in notice
In new process you have to call USCIS number mentioned in your I-485 receipt to schedule a FP. Then you can do "early FP" mentioned by gp111.
Can nother1inline, simranb , gp111 or other gurus comment on this ?
Can you guys (who schedule FP by calling number mentioned in I-485 notice) also provide snippet from I-485 receipt where they have mention about FP appointment ?
Thanks

Guys,navdod said:I don't think we can schedule with out the FP notice.
Please check out this link
http://uscis.gov/graphics/fieldoffices/ascs/asc.htm
where it clearly says in Bold Red
"Please be sure you have been scheduled to appear for fingerprinting by letter. Do not appear for fingerprinting without an appointment letter."
pklam said:Nice to see you Gp111, Ray.s in this forum. Can anyone update my info on the XL spreadsheet. My XL is crashing for some strange reason. My RD date for I140/485/I765/I131 are Aug 17th. Have not received any notice from CSC yet. Thanks...
simranb said:Guys,
To me it looks like a new procedure which is clearly written on the I485 receipt notice. If your receipts says that you should call for the biometrics appointment then please do else you should wait for the FP notice. Also looks like its effective from Aug 05. Just my 2c

Is it possible to apply all these (I-140/485/131/765) together for EB3 ? My labor got approved on May 23rd. Got approved notice 10th Aug. I've not applied I140 yet.
Thanks in advance.

gp111 said:No. You will have to wait till OCT 01, 2005 for filing I-485/765/131 when new Visa Numbers will be available for EB-3. If you are from India / China then you may have to wait more after Oct-05 depending on your PD.
