Hey, Bobroh
My paralegal said that they already got the approval notice of I140, and I am not supposed to get it myself.

FP Update
The Case Status online System shows that they have 'resumed' processing of my case.
"Application Type: I485, Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status
Current Status:
On May 7, 2003, the results of your fingerprint review for your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status were received, and processing has resumed on your case. We will mail you a notice if further action is needed, or when a decision is made."
So does it mean that after issuing the FP notice, BCIS waits till the FP is done and doesn't move your case? So against popular belief, won't it be a good idea to finish your FP faster for people who are awaiting their EAD and AP??
Cheers

re: FP update
Not really Dyno...
'cas your EAD and AP are considered as different entities, BCIS is providing EAD for us as our I-485 approval is pending with the particular service center. As far as I know FP doesn't stop the processing of either EAD or AP.
Infact my Solicitor advised me not to apply for EAD/AP if I am having a valid H1B visa, unless I am planning to change my employer after 6 months of my I-485 reciept date.. So I ended up not applying for EAD/AP (which might increase the paper work for my A#)
Just my thoughts...

EAD approved & FP done
Dear all,
I just got my EAD approved.
Special thanks to helper_12 and Dynobouy!!!!!
I have done the FP in advance with no problem in Boston.
Went on Saturday as Helper_12 recommended and did the whole thing in less than 15 minutes.
I just did it in advace cause the appointment date was inconvenient.
Thank for all the information that you post guys, keep it flowing, knowledge on your case will help others.
Best luck to all of us,
Viko

Apparently not. My EAD / AP were approved before I did FP.Originally posted by arbee
Guys -
Is FP required to be completed before they will issue an EAD/ AP? I'm confused by the sequence, please share any info you have. Thanks!
Question
EAD and AD approved for both my husband and me from online status checking. Both my husband and I have done FP.
I-485 online status says following for me, and it is as the same as they sent out the receipt and it has no change after I have done FT. I am the main applicant.
"Your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status was received on March 28, 2003. We mailed you a receipt with information about processing. It is taking between 365 and 540 days for us to process this kind of case. We will mail you a decision as soon as processing is complete."
I-485 online status says following for husband.
"On May 6, 2003, the results of your fingerprint review for your I485 Application to Register Permanent Residence or to Adjust Status were received, and processing has resumed on your case. We will mail you a notice if further action is needed, or when a decision is made."
Does anyone know why they are different? What is the difference?
Does anyone know how risky if I go back to my home country visit with the AP without waiting for the approval of the I-140?
Please respond. Thanks in advance for the response.

AOS vs. Current Visa Status
Hi All,
My wife and I filed 140/485 concurrently and both 140 and 485 are still pending for approval.
My wife currently holds F-1 visa as full-time registered grad student. Recently, she received a notice from school for I-20 renewal process due to the policy change of BCIS, but was told that she might not be able to get her I-20 renewed because of her 485 application.
I wonder if anyone on this board would be kind to provide some idea or information resources on how BCIS deals with people with request to renew non-immigration document while in the transition period for immigration document approval.
Would such people be considered as immigrants ('cuz they may use EAD/AP to work and travel) or non-immigrants ('cuz they still have F-1/H1-B status on file and 140/485 is still pending)?
Thank you.

F1 and H1 are totally different types of visas. F1 is purely non-immigrant visa. On the other hand H1 is dual intent visa meaning which when H1 and AOS (485) status can co-exist. But not F1 and AOS. H and L visa enjoy this privilege.
In other words when you are applying for F1 visa you are telling you do not have intention of Immigration, But by applying for I-485 you are saying you want to immigrate.
Talk to Attorney.
