[Perumal]

Hi,

How long does it currently take for the I-485 process to be completed since filing at the CSC?

Thanks!

Hi Perumal:

You have replied to my earlier posting about CP before
starting employment with that sponsoring company. Are
you switching to AOS from CP. We are still worried whether
we can go for CP interview without starting employment
with company sponsoring CP.

Thanks,

Hi Perumal,
You had once replied to my posting regarding applying for consular processing before starting to work for the sponsoring company. Are you switching to AOS from CP? We are still wondering about whether it is advisable to go to the consular processing interview before starting to work for the sponsoring company.

thanks

That is a good question. All INS service centers seem to be inundated with applications after the April 30 deadline for filing under sec 245i. It is not very clear now as to what the approximate processing time will be. Also with EB3 becoming current from 1st July INS will receive that many more applications for AOS. It would be a good idea to start tracking applications filed after 30th April. I have filed for AOS on 7th May and still have not received my receipt notice / application number. Info from anybody who has applied after 1st May and got receipt notices / call for finger printing will be highly appreciated.

Thank you.

Hi Infolink,
Did you receive your receipt notice from INS? I had applied for I-485 + EAD + AP on May 16th (Fed Ex information), and its Aug 30th today and I have not yet received the receipt notice.

Thanks!
