Hello guys
I have received the welcome notice on 6/25 for me and my wife but have not yet received the approval notice yet & I am going for biometrics tomorrow.

Is my GC approved? I am not sure since I have not received an email saying my I485 is approved.

Also why do some people get I485 approved email & some get welcome notice and some directly get the card ordered email.

Max or someone else Please clarify the confusion, would really help!!!!!

Below is what I received........

Then what is the difference between welcome notice and I485 approval notice and why do some people get welcome notice and some get I485 approval.
Is it that some additional processing is remaining for people who only receive welcome notice.

Experienced GURUS Please clarify!!!!!!!!
 
I got the same email today. Can the GURUs clarify what does ADIT mean ? Does this email mean approval? Can't wait more now!!! :)

I did some googling on ADIT and got the below information.
----
ADIT processing (i.e., temporary stamp placed in passport at USCIS),

--

ADIT (I-551) stamping




Applicant appears at local USCIS for ADIT processing, as outlined in Jackson & Hertogs' AOS approval letter. Applicant will not be scheduled for an ADIT appointment, ADIT processing is done by "walk-in" basis ONLY.




Once the applicant adjusts his/her status by completing ADIT processing, s/he is given the I-551 permanent resident stamp in his/her passport.

the above info is from this link http://www.jackson-hertogs.com/process/aos.htm

Hope everything is good to GO

They are just formalities of USCIS. You are approved and if you
don't have to fly out of country tomorrow sit tight for a week and
you will get you card, which concludes your gc processing....

Now you go and pray for me.

Thanks Sbabunle. Any idea why we had biometrics 2 done on June 27th whereas I got approval on JUne 25th.

Also I still have not received the cards ordered email. Do i have to be concerned?

Are you planning to travel internationally in the next 30 days?
If not then just hold on, you should get another email that says 'Approval Notice Sent' or 'Card Mailed' This will have your actual Green Card.
It took me 8 days to get that email after I first got the 'Card production ordered' email, so it can take more or less for you.
Good luck.
