Just to let you know that after 6 months' waiting (after mine was approved), my wife's 485 was approved few days ago.
Mine was approved on 10/16 and I got the card on 10/19. Hers kept pending and the reason was (of course) security check.
Her case's previous last update date was 10/01/06 and after 6 months' waiting, the new last update was 03/29/07 for 485 approval and then 04/04 saying the card has been mailed out.
I was a bit surprised that she doesn't need to redo biometrics. According to my attorney, the fingerprint is only valid for 15 months. It's been 19months after we did the fingerprint. Anyway, it's good to get the card directly and I am hoping this information helps.
BTW, her case wasn't reloacted to anywhere else. It kept staying in VSC. The receipt date is 8/5/05. We are using world-wide quota.
