It seems most from Nov are approved, is it? or may be very few left.
I need to know how many are left waiting for their approvals. It will givem me some sense of where i stand. I am getting impatient now. especially now 'coz i am going to india in two weeks. I'll have to use AP for this travel. Is there any catch in using AP? do i need to check with my expensive attorney? Guys please speak up. gimme some advice.

tlbb said:I am in the samilar situation also...... Concurrent submitted 140/485 in November 04. I-140 approved in early May. The last I-485 updated in April, 05. I sent a inquiry to USCIS and they responded in letter said that " name checking is my current status" in July. But no update for the inquiry date.
Current status: Don't know what to do next and don't know when we can get over the last obstacle.
tlbb said:I called the UCCIS 800 number by myself. The staff said I will receive something in 30 days, but the letter came around 45-60 days after I made the call. So you may have to wait a bit longer to see the response.

You have plenty of company.
I am still waiting for I-485 to be approved. My dates are the same as tlbb.
The last status I have on my case is that it is undergoing name-checks/detailed security checks etc.
I am travelling out of the country today and will be returning using AP.
Did you face any problems ? What documents did they ask for in the POE ?
Thanks

gcsfo,
I used AP for returning back to US and it was simple. There is a seperate immigration window for AP guys and there is now line...so no waiting time. The officer took my AP, Passport, boarding pass. Asked me my social security number, fathers name and mothers name and thats it.

I received two original APs from USCIS. Do I need to carry both on my way back ?
I left one in the US, so I was wondering whether I should ask my wife to post it to me in India.
Also, did the immigration authorities in the Indian exit airport take away one of the AP originals when we return ?
I was browsing the Net and saw something to that effect. Is that true ?
I will be flying out of Kolkata.
Thirdly, did the US POE immigration officer stamp your original AP and return it to you ? Or do they take one original for their records and return the other stamped original to you ?
Fourthly, how long do they stamp the parole for ? Is it one year from the date of entry ?
Thanks
