Official JIT will you the official date. Otherwise, look for this un-official info in RUPNET/ other tracking forum.
What does a receipt number look like?
Pralay:
My company refuses to give me my receipt number for my I485 and EAD filing which they made on my behalf. I like your idea of checking status through inputting random numbers. Can you please
a) give me an example of a receipt number (random) and
b) What is the number you dial to get status of these cases
Thanks for your help
regards
Peshwa

EAD Approval & status
Hi.
Your receipt no. should be in 13 digits.
it will start with WAC or EAC depending on West or East of the united states. You should also find out which processing center you company has submitted.
The telephone no. to call is 949-831-8427. hope that helps.

Peshwa,
You company CANNOT refuse to give you receipt number.
For any immigration application/approval/record which is
related to you, your attorney or employer should give you
a copy for your own record. This days (after september 11)
it is always good idea to keep all the immigration related
records handy.
Atleast there is two occasions when you should keep a
copy of receipt with you:
1. traveling abroad with AP when your I-485 is pending
(last time when my wife travelled with AP, immigration
offer at LAX asked for the EAD card and application receipt).
2. When you do not receive EAD card within 90 days
of application, you can get IEAD card showing your I-485
receipt number.
Your company is unethical and paranoid. If they do not give
the receipt number, talk to the attorney directly.
(just make your point that you want to keep the copies for
your record).

Thanks guys
Pralay/Cybshan:
Many thanks for your message. I have tried to ask the company for this info many times. They have really got nasty and told me that the petioner (the company) has every right not to share this info with me (beneficiary). The law firm employed by them also plays ball with them. I am planning to consult an outside lawyer for counsel

Peshwa,
In this country you need to know your right and without it
you may end up in bad situation.
Take an example.
How do you know that they filed for I-485 already?
I understand they indeed did, but they have to show
you the proof (and that's the receipt number).
Assume they didn't file it and your visa expired.
That means you are without status. Now employing
a without status person, the company may be panalized.
But for their case it's a question of only money. And in your
case you may be deported or you have to explain your
without status problem as long as you live in this
country.
Secondly, any immigration/visa related things, it's
not just employer's ball game. As long as you are involved,
the whole "ball game" has to be transparent for
all three sides - the lawyer, the employer, the employee.
There is no hide and seek here.
Thirdly, after six months your pending I-485 is portable.
That means you can join another company and carry
the I-485 to to new employer. In this case, your current
company is "liable" to provide the receipt number.
They cannot deny it.

Holy crap
Sue their a$$ dude...485 is controlled by you, not employer. Tell some story that your wife wants to visit India and wud like to know abt AP status and ask them that you need WAC numbers so that you can track the AP dates and plan your wifes travel to India.

This is not the age of slavery,,I suspect something is fishy...First of all make sure they actually applied.
My company and attorney gives me every information that I ask for eventhough they paid every penny incurrend for my GC process including medical...it is their liability and mutual.
