I had just one finger printing.
My ND is 08/23/2004
I had my FP done on 04/18/2003
It was due to expire on 07/18/2004 (15 months)
Fortunately my approval came in before that.

Added FP to the XL sheet
One feeling is that the approvals are of those whose second FP is due soon.
Also, it is not exactly 15 months from your first FP.
Just to check that as well, I've added the first FP column.
If all the users of this tracker could update it, it'll be great.
Thanks.

But that's exactly I am hoping does not happen.
If you see the excel worksheet in the thread started by kshashikanth..

The approximate duration between the 1st fp and 2nd fp is 16 to 19 months in most of the cases.
We may be nearing the 2nd fp and that I think, is the reason our cases are chosen for RFE.
A 2nd fp is at no cost to the filer. All the expenses are borne by USCIS. I feel that would be one way of cutting cost and also expediting the approvals.
My 2 cents.

bhartiy and GRCA-2002,
Since 2nd FP is an expenditure on USCIS, all those who already got 2nd FP, did not hear anything from USCIS. observation from sep/oct trackers...
Since last one week, a question is bothering me!!! I may be wrong...
Is USCIS waiting for these candidates to apply for 3rd EAD, so as to collect some revenue..., and process 485 before approving 3rd EAD (3rd EAD would be useless and need not be approved).

This can't be true.

peace_of_mind , you have a valid point although I am not sure if the folks at the USCIS are such "Strategic Thinkers". Also , if one applies for an EAD , it does cost them money to process another application and print / mail another card. However , I do feel that if I file for my 3rd EAD , there is a chance that since they would touch my case anyways it might get adjudicated.

maverick1976,
You made a point that applying for 3rd EAD will let your 485 application to be touched..., chance of getting adjudicated. The same point, I was trying to analyze in terms of more revenue....
As far as strategic thinking is concerned, present day policy makers/management do not think of rendering good service..., they think only of earning/saving more money. Printing/mailing another EAD card is just use of existing infrastructure, maintenence cost may be less than $10, but the fee we pay with EAD application is greater than 10 times $10.
