I've been a silent reader of this forum for a long time. Came here almost every day for the past 6 months. Thanks for all the postings.

Here're the major milestones of my 485 application:

RD : 4/16/01
ND : 6/4/01
1st AP : 8/01
1st EAD: 8/01 (approved), 1/02 (received 5 months later!)
1st FP : 3/30/02
2nd FP : 4/23/02
2nd AP : 05/02
2nd EAD : 07/02

RFE replied : 7/24/02
RFE acked by INS : 7/29/02
AD : 8/12/02 per AVM.

still waiting for approval notice :)

It's been 18 months since I first started preparing the documents. Called INS dozens of times. Talked to IIO 5 times: 1 was helpful, she even called me back the next morning, others were clueless (maybe not their fault, just the whole system is messed up).

Other WAC-01 waiters, be patient and have faith, your turn will come. God bless.

Thanks! I'm sure I'll treasure it.

my PD was Jan 2000.

I needed the 2nd AP because my 1st one had expired! Same for EAD. I was preparing to file for my 3rd EAD and AP ;-)

Many people who have ND in 06/2001 were approved early this year and I didn't even have FP notice. So I asked my paralegal to fax a FP inquiry to CSC. It so happened the next day I got my 1st FP notice (issued before the inquiry). 3 weeks later my paralegal got the 2nd FP notice. She insisted that I should go again just in case. The officers at the ASC told me it's not necessary but they did take my fingerprints again. I guess fax inquiry by the law firm really works. In retrospect, should have asked them to do it earlier.
