In_durham said:labornc, some times it is indeed luck. If I was as lucky as you to get my labor approved a few months LATER, like you, then when my concurrent file was opened I too would have been out of retrogression. Unfortunately due to retrogression only my 140 got approved now my485 processing will go by the May 03 date! That is life
Hopefully by October the existing backlog will have been cleared.

Key Points:
1. Keep everything ready AP/EADs/Approval Notice/Passport/I-94s/2 Photos with name/A# written on back with pencil.
2.Make copies for your file of all docs as they take away all originals & you get a I-551 stamp on passport valid for a year.
3. You present appointment at reception who gives you a number token for your case. Your number is called & you go to a window. One person per slip/window/officer. Make you sign/right hand index finger manual print on a form (2 times on both sides). Make you wait 5 minutes then stamp your passport & you are done.
3. Physical Card to come in 3-8 weeks.
4. DHS location different in Charlotte as compared to ASC, so make sure you have good directions & the right address (which shud be on your appointment page).
5. No cellphones (need to be off)/Food/Drink inside.
6. No walk-ins. Only go with infopass appointment.
That's about it.

Inian said:Hi Kewlsans:
I have a question for you. How did you get your status from TSC. Online status or over phone.??
I did fp during the same period as you did and I did not get any message online. Please check my signature. Thanks
Enquiry to USCIS thru congressman gave us updates on name check. Then followed up with FBI thru email/snail mail & finally it was cleared. Hope that helps. All the best for ur speedy approval.kewlsans said:Please check my signature.The last time i checked status with TSC,they had mentioned that my background check was still pending.
