Congratulations!!!!
------------ I-485 approval notice in 6-8 days, once I-485 approval is recieved by YOu or by your lawyer take the Infopass appointment with local USCIS and go for Passport staming then after that you will get GC card by mail in 2-3 months( i have seen many get Card in less days, VSC is sending Cards in 1 month after GC stamping

just stamping, but they may ask u some very basic questions on ur current job which should be easy to answer.mnhakeem said:Thanks Dear for ur replay
its just Stamp or it is Interview??????
---it is just a stamp on your passport and no INTERVIEW, they will just veryfy your name with your ID and I-485 approval, you can change the address if you are moving at that time for sending GC card or if any mistake in name on I-485 that can be corrected at that time.mnhakeem said:Thanks Dear for ur replay

*** better take 2 new Passport style photographs write your name, DOB A# at the back of photographs with pencil. even if the officer dont ask for New photographs inform him that you have new stayle photogrphs and he will take it and you will get CARD with front face passport style photographs.
There is a lot of useful info in 485 FAQ - http://www.immigrationportal.com/showthread.php?t=155717
I have couple of questions from my side.
Has anyone travelled with the I-551 (ADIT) stamp in the passport (before getting real GC). How is their experience? Do I need transit visa if I'm travelling with ADIT?
I had used AC21 to change jobs. But i had never informed CIS that I'm using AC21. Will I be asked questions about present employer, and what should be my answer? (I had approved 140, 180 days on 485 and valid EAD when I changed jobs).

many ppl have not submitted AC21 and still have been approved for their 485.

Actually I meant, if I will be asked questions about present employer when I go for passport stamping? Should I utter AC21 if I'm asked anything?
Thanks for replying.

----Many have done that
How is their experience?
Do I need transit visa if I'm travelling with ADIT?
------ depends on flight, country of your citizenship, it is better to have Transit visa through Swiss you need Transit Visa
I had used AC21 to change jobs. But i had never informed CIS that I'm using AC21.
----- It means you have NOT used AC21 as you never informed USCIS before I-485 approval, your I-485 is approved for the employer whose job offer letter is the base of I-485 approval Will I be asked questions about present employer, and what should be my answer? (I had approved 140, 180 days on 485 and valid EAD when I changed jobs).
--- I dont think they will ask you at the time of stamping. May be investigated when you apply for citizenship becase you did not work with the employer whose job offer letter was the base of I-485 approval.
