July Concurrent filling in EB2 CATEGORY (CALIFORNIA)

H1 Extention

Thanks, my H1B extention was for 6th year. More info: the approval date of H1B approval notice is Aug 20, 2004 even though the online status showed AD as Aug 24, 2004. I am not sure if I485 approval was triggered by H1B approval.

Nice guy GC,
Congrats on your success. I had a question for you. Was your pending H1 extension for a 7th year? I was just wondering since there have not been too many approvals around your RD and maybe your H1 application could have triggered your 485 approval.

Thanks
 
Are there any EB2 conc approvals on or after July 14 ND dates
Can anyone initiate a thread for just pilot program NDs from April first which includes both approvals and non approvals?

Approved - Pilot rocks

Hi All,
Just saw the golden emails from USCIS stating my I-140 and I-485 have been approved on Sept 13th. Their is no update on my spouse's 485, but I am hoping that is a system glitch - will know more when I see the hard copy approvals.

Amazing feeling of freedom after 5 1/2 years of waiting.

FP appt. updtae on status

Hello Guys,
I got FP appt. two weeks back but dont see any update on I-485.
It donesnt say "FP appt. has been sent to you" ??

any idea ?
 
Hey gc_7_2004, What was your appointment date for FP ? Did you go
before the appointment date and did early FP ? How easy was that ?

Folks, I have appointment date on October 15th and I'd like to try doing it
before that. How early can I go ? Please advice on other tips you can
think of to do this ASAP.

Yes,I had appointment on 10/15/04 but I went early.It was okay go after 2pm.you should be fine.

hello ananya and tonysor,
any update from you guys ??
 
Nothing yet gc_07. Not sure they are going to pick ours soon. But hoping for that. We might hear other approvals past july 18th NDs. Who knows you could be the lucky one soon.
It is looking like a lottery system for picking up the application.

Anyway good luck everyone. Keep your hopes up..
 
approx when does FP info get reflected

guys who went in for early fp, how long does it take for the fp info to get updated on cis website. also any movement in july cases after fp is done?

my info
I140/485/spouse ead - ND 19th Jul, RD 26th Jul

EAD approved 2nd sept
EAD notice mailed 9th sept - yet to receive :confused:
FP notice - 2nd Sept, appt - 15th Oct
early FP done on 11 Sept

No update since.
 
Looks like everybody filed EAD and AP along with I-140/485. Is there any advantage of doing that?

I don't really need EAD and don't have travel plan in the near future either. But if apply for EAD/AP could expedite the process in anyway, I will do it.

BTW, my husband is on OPT right now. If we apply AP for him, will he lose his F1 status eventhough we don't actually use the AP?

Thanks,

xqg
 
gc_doc - On the average you can wait for 10 days to reflect the dates of FP online.

It was so close to me too, when I heard that July 14th and July 18th NDs have approved. At the same time, I found many cases who applied since april are sitting idle and waiting for their time.

Looks like my waiting has also started. So, I will be MIA for a while.
 
Update.
