Its good to know that you have received your FP notice. I also received it last week.
Both of our RD are same. Lets keep in touch.
IWantIt said:Hello Appollo_13 et all,
My 140 is approved on the 9th March. I did my FP on the 10th march and waiting for the result.
140 & 485 RD - Aug 9 2004.
Apollo_13 said:Congrats for your I-140 approval. Looks like you are going to receive your I-485 approval too pretty soon as the current processing date in CSC is 2nd Aug 2004.
Any change in your I-485 status (after your FP)? Any change in LUD?
IWantIt said:Nope. There is no change in the 485 status after my FP. My LUD on 485 was Jan 7th 2005.
IWantIt said:Just got emails from USCIS and my (wife's also) FP results were received on March 15th.

Any idea why they are need FP so soon. I thought they need FP to check crime report before they issue 485 approval. What does this faster FP ND mean.
Please suggest.
Apollo_13 said:Lately people have started receiving FP notice which also requires them to give biometrics info or they receive just biometrics notice if they have already given their FP recently.
1. Biometrics - This is basically required for printing EAD cards and GC plastic cards. INS officers take digital photographs, digital signature of the applicant, finger print of the right index finger,
2. Regular FP is basically used by FBI to perform name check, criminal records check etc. INS officers take finger prints of all 10 fingers.
After reading few threads and other member's responses, my understanding is like this. You can see one of the following code in your FP notice and it means as follows:
Code 1 -> Regular Finger print
Code 2 -> Biometrics
Code 3 -> Both regular Finger Print and Biometrics
anth said:I had FP on Feb 18, 2005. But I didn't receive any confirmation email from USCIS web site and the online status still says '...send out FP notice on 2/4...' even one month after FP.
I also recieved another notice for FP which has notice date 2/17/05. My lawyer told me that this is a new procedure and the second FP notice is to take a picture. I'm not sure if the online status is waiting for the biometric info? Anyone is in the same situation?
master_chari said:I have a strange issue.
My wife and myself gave FP a month ago.
Two weeks later my wife got Biometrics code 3 and she gave that too. But, I did not get that yet. It's been a month already.
Has anyone had a similar experience?
I am worried that they might have sent me, but, somehow my mail might have gotten misplaced
Apollo_13 said:I completed my early FP (Code 3) today in Pittsburgh.
People were very nice and they accepted early FP.
I just had to show my passport/original FP notice. I filled up a form and waited for my turn to come. They completed FP and biometrics.
Finally, they gave me a receipt with a stamp on the back side of the receipt.
