Maybe I was lucky

Here is my experience, just a reference for the rest out there waiting

I-485 Approved date: 10/20/2004, I won't forget taht date for a long time
Passport stamping and Finger Print appointment: 11/09/2004
Plastic card ordered: 12/06/2004
Card in mail: 12/09/2004
Card Received: 12/11/2004...this ends my quest for freedom.

Just a thought, the perspective of life does change after receiving it. Good luck to you all.

MY wife got her plastic card and mine is just waiting for some nitwit to move their butt and do the necessary changes. I am tired of this wait. One thing that this all GC experience did was that i have a lot of patience now for things.
 
No change of status message yet from the approval date.
LUD changed today.

Wife's approval still pending. Her RFE for BC & PP/Visa copy sent.

What to do next

Hello,

My I-485 got approved( As per the online Msg on Dec17th). I have no idea what to do next. I live in Newyork city.

Can you guys please explain the process...
 
What to do after 485 approval ---

Wait for the approval notice.
Go to http://infopass.uscis.gov to set up an appointment.
Print out your infopass appointment
Bring your passport, 2 passport photos, all your I-94, EAD, AP and infopass with you
Go to federal plaza at your secheduled time to get your passport stamped.
Then wait for your plastic green card to be mailed to you.


That is it.

My Wife received her card today.

Please refer to my signature.

There are some difference between my wife's and my card.
- Department name and logo
- Resident Since
My Resident Since: 06/15/04 <-- My AD of I-485
Wife's Resident Since: 11/01/01 <-- My PD (Labor)
If anyone tell me for this difference, I will appreciate it.

Have a nice holiday!
