To britflit45,

Congratulation!

Will you share your AOS timeline?

For ease of access :

I-485 Filed March 16th 2012

Biometrics #1 : April 27th 2012 (EAD /AP received next day)

Biometrics #2 : Nov 15th 2012

Approval /Card Production e-mail dated Feb 15th 2013

Basically 11 months. I saw on another forum somebody with almost identical timeline, so consistent within a sparse data set.

Congrats britflit45!

It's nice to see others waiting for their I-485 approvals based on I-526.. it's hard to gauge the AOS timeline in this category due to the lack of information out there.

I filed my I-485 at CSC on Dec 13, 2012 and EAD/AP was approved in less than 2 months. Biometrics was done in Jan 2013 but I have a feeling that my fingerprints are not good enough and I may have to redo them.

Anyway, still waiting to hear....

North Pole, please update me if you hear anything regarding your I-485 or if you have any useful information, please share. I will do the same.

Hello mteem,

I will update my I-485 status if I hear anything from USCIS.

Don't forget to apply for your social security card with EAD. Are you a student(F-1 or H1B)?

Again, Welcome to join the EB-5 Base AOS Discussion.

Thanks, North Pole!

I'm on OPT. I've been in the U.S. for over 10 years so I've had my SSN for quite some time now.

Congrats! That is excellent news!

I was wondering why you need to do your fingerprints twice?

I will send you a private message with my email address. I would like it if we can keep in touch so that maybe we can discuss I-829 issues in the future!

Second fingerprint is for the production of Green Card. It should be code 2 (photo, signature and fingerprint). I checked the green card's photo, which was same as the photo taken at the 2nd biometrics appointment. However not every applicant is required to do this. Some applicants repeat the fingerprint(Code1: 10 fingerprints) because the previous fingerprint might be bad or damaged. I don't know the reason. If you have the 2nd biometrics, your AOS should be approved and receive the card within 90 days.

Good luck to you. Hope your AOS will be approved within 6 months instead of mine (8 months).

Please help me to to understand too. My receipt Date of i-485 is Aug-2011 based on approved i-526 at CSC. I got my EAD/AP in Oct-2011 but still no GC. I had my 2nd finger print on 2/26/2013. Any advice ?? What should I do ?

britflit45 What is your status ?

Your EB-5 based AOS have been pending for about 19 months. Did you receive any RFE during the period?

North Pole,

No I did not got any REF, As I said my attorney put inquiry in Jan 2013 and then I got FP with code 2 , which I done on Feb 27 2013. Any Idea what s going on with my case ? Is there way I can contact directly CSC ? Any advice please

To unjabi007:

I guess that your GC delay might be caused by the background check.

USCIS is reviewing your case now. If everything goes well, you should expect the I-797 Approval Notice between April 12 and May 27(90 days after the 2nd fingerprint).

Good luck to you; and thanks for sharing your EB-5 AOS experience.
