Dip,
Here you go.
For all interested...we filed in late-May 04 with a RD of 6/1/04. It's now 8/25 and all of our short-term concerns are covered. My wife is able to work and travel at her discretion...this was our most important short term goal. We have EAD and AP, all complete within 80 days of RD. Whatever the time period required for 130 and 485 turns out to be, we are able to live our lives reasonably without INS stress until they are complete (except for possible required renewals, both EAD and AP were 1 year expirations).
Good luck to all,
LB
