Applied for INFOPASS appointment on completion of 90 days.



Went Federal plaza @12pm for a 1pm appointment, promptly admitted.



Directed to third floor no one on line, given a number and I765 to fill up and asked to go to 9th floor.



When I got off the elevator, and entered the room my number was called ( that fast, fortunately I took an I 765 form all filled up, or else I wouldn't have time to even complete it!!!)



1.30 hours wait for processing and photos/finger print etc.

* filed for EAD 3rd Renewal with RD June 28th at TSC but no response till today.



* went to San Jose USCIS office on Sep 27th for IEAD as I stay in Bay Area.



* Though had an appointment, it is about Hour and half before i was called to the window.



*Approved EAD for 8 months with no questions asked by just looking at EAD recipt notice & passport and taking a pre-filled EAD Application, copy of I-140 approval notice and I-485 notice.

First of all, thank you very much Rajiv for all your advise during this greencard journey, especially during this last 2 weeks. Every time we have relied on your advice blindly.

Here are some experiences with regards to my entire track from NIW I-140 petition to I-485 approval. I had somewhat of an unique case, so if anyone here is in the same boat, this may be of help to you. I have done the entire process by myself, without an attorney, and long hours of research in the law library on U.S.C. Section 8.



Arrived to US in 1991 on J-1, not subject to section 212e, changed to F-1 on arrival. Became an H-1 in 2001 and filed for NIW in March of 2002, case was backlogged due to 9-11.
