The time for approval from FP date depends on several things...
There are times when INS processes 485 cases within 4 to 8 weeks of FP done date. Other times they have taken several months. I personally have noticed that approvals in the last month or so have come in after 4 to 10 weeks from FP done date. But almost all of those approvals have been for March and early April RD cases. If INS processed cases that are adjudication-ready based on RD/ND then they have to process May, June, July and early August ND\'s before they even start adjudicating mine which is ND 8/30. I had done my FP on Nov 06, 2001. It has already been a month and I foresee several more weeks of waiting. Can\'t do much else but wait.
