My wife received a "welcome notice" email today on her 485 application. She didn't get any approval email (yet).
Here is the status message:
"On July 17, 2006, a welcome notice was mailed for this case. If 30 days have passed and you have not received this notice. Please call the National Customer Service Center at (800) 375-5283 during business hours."
Does this mean an approval? Hoping it is. Will she get the Green card before the retrogression in August for EB2 - Ind?
Details
EB2 PD April 2002, IND
485 RD April 24, 2006
FP : 06/08/2006
485 LUDs :06/10 (FP), 07/17
There is a LUD on 07/15 on her 140, which was already approved in April 2006!!
I haven't applied for my I-485 as I was on F-1 and didn't want to jeopardize my status/research assistantship. I think I can send in my 485 now (before August 1st retrogression in Eb2-Ind) since we got married before her 485 approval. Can the gurus confirm? Also I am now done with my Ph.D. and have just applied for OPT EAD last month. What happens to the pending OPT EAD if I apply for 485 now?
Thanks
