Franticsky,
Thanks a bunch for the response. I guess I should have asked this question earlier. Within 4 hours of your response got an email from CRIS as well on line case status changed to follows.

On December 6, 2007, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.

Can someone explain what ADIT processing means? How long have I to wait before I get the physical plastic card and declare victory?
My time lines were as follows.
Aug 14, 2006 - Intervied in DORA program at Dallas DO (90 day wing to wing processing claims under DORA by USCIS - which is tall claim)
Nov. 14, 2006 - Got 1st EAD and AP.
Sep. 20, 2007 - Got 2nd EAD and AP.
Dec. 6, 2007 - Case staus changed as stated above
I am travelling out of the country Mid January 2008. Was wondering if I should expect my card before then or should I go ahead and get France Transit visa.

I got your PM.
For all I understand, ADIT processing in the context of such a message (which is quite standard, I received the same as well) means that if your I-485-related fingerprints, signature and photos are still good, USCIS are simply going to mail you the card.
If, say, you I-485-related fingerprints have already expired, USCIS will issue you an FP notice and, once you comply, will mail you the card.
Whether they can or want transfer, say, good fingerprints from an I-765 case to replace the expired one in I-485 case (thus eliminating the need for an FP visit and wait), I do not know.
In my case, my I-485-related FP was rescanned into an EAD renewal but I received an FP notice anyway....
Good luck!

Hey Hiram & all,
For all those people who have been stuck in NC for more than 2 years and have had to go for 2nd FP, how long after the 2nd FP submitted was your GC approved.
I was told that USCIS is sending notices for 2nd FP only after NC has been cleared. Is that true?

I remember reading something like that. I thought that was countrywide, but seems its not. Yeah, some places are scheduling the interview only after the name check is cleared. Honestly, kinda makes sense.
In my case, I had the interview 15 months ago (before our second anniversary), so we most likely need another interview anyway when the name check clears.

As for me, I just received the "card production ordered" email from CRIS...
Thought some of you might be interested in the excerpt below from the Murthy Bulletin posted today.

DHS Indicates It Will Expedite FBI Name Checks
©MurthyDotCom
Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Michael Chertoff indicated in a November 2007 meeting with the American Immigration Lawyers Association (AILA) and other organizations that the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) and the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) will make significant changes to the existing name-check process. The goal of these changes is to clear the backlog of immigration cases that are pending due to name-check delays. In addition to clearing the backlog, the changed procedures should permit further expedited processing of such cases, to prevent future name-check delay backlogs. Secretary Chertoff, however, warned that some checks would still be delayed by investigations, but this number should be significantly reduced.

Criteria to Expedite Name-Check Delays
©MurthyDotCom
As MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers may recall from our March 2, 2007 article Policy on Expediting FBI Name Checks : Very Limited, the USCIS criteria to expedite cases stalled due to FBI name-check delays include military deployment; age-out cases not covered under the Child Status Protection Act (CSPA) and applications affected by sunset provisions such as green card lottery; significant and compelling reasons, such as a critical medical condition; and loss of social security benefits or other subsistence at the discretion of the USCIS district director. A large number of applicants and petitioners, however, continue to benefit from filing writ of mandamus against the government in U.S. federal courts. This still appears to be a valuable mechanism to compel the government to expedite adjudication of delayed cases.
©MurthyDotCom
Conclusion
©MurthyDotCom
It should be noted that this change only relates to cases delayed due to name checks. It does not address delays for other reasons and in no way addresses the problems faced by those with Applications for Adjustment of Status (I-485) who are waiting for visa number availability.
©MurthyDotCom
It remains to be seen whether the changes in procedures will be sufficient for the FBI to succeed in expediting the name-check process and clearing the backlog. Even if the backlog of cases is cleared, however, there will still be cases delayed due to ongoing investigations. Individuals affected by these types of delays may still benefit from requesting expedited treatment of their cases through administrative and legal procedures.

hey all,
I read some of you had already got your name cleared from the FBI. I just have a quick questions, did you get any updates on your online status? My name check is cleared back on 10/11/07. But as of today, I still have not heard anything from USCIS. I went to INFOPASS twice already. All they told me was to wait some more time. I went to the DORA program so I know I am outside of the proccess time (90 days). Any suggestions or comments will be appreciated.

Is the end near??
Well...
After waiting for my name check to clear (and no one realizing it had cleared until just recently) my paperwork was finally transferred to the Chicago office where it belongs. I just got a notice for a 2nd interview (we interviewed a year ago in Baltimore). Hopefully the end is near. Hopefully I won't need to re-fingerprint and they can stamp my passport.
