Employment Based Greencard

Hello Friends,

Finally we got our Green Card under CROSS-CHARGEABILITY.

Category: EB2, Rest of the World (ROW). Primary Applicant India, Dependent Canada. I thought to post my timeline here from PERM APPLICATION. I hope this is helpful to you folks.

My Time Lines:

PERM:

May 22, 2015: Filed.
November 20, 2015: Approved.

I-140:

December 7, 2015: Filed
December 8, 2015: USCIS Receipt sent by email.
December 14, 2015: I-140 approved under premium processing.

I-485:

LINCOLN Service Center, Nebraska I-485, I-765 & I-131 EB2 ROW Experience.

Day 1 Jan/11/2016: Sent Package to USCIS (I485,I131& 1765)

Day 41 Feb/20/2016: Biometrics appointment notice received, scheduled for March 4, 2016 at 8am
Day 45 Feb/24/2016: Received email/SMS update from USCIS, I765case status update. Your new card has been ordered. Attorney confirmed that my EAD is approved. Now waiting for Biometrics and GC!!My file was sent to Texas but it was moved to LIN service center by USCIS. I guess that is why I got very late schedule for biometrics. It took almost 3 weeks for me to receive the receipt notices which is very unusual. I was little worried, but surprisingly things moved fast and EAD approved in less than 50 days.
Day 50 Feb/29/2016: Received email/SMS notification from USCIS “We mailed your card” now waiting for the card to arrive, hopefully by this weekend. Fingers crossed.
Day 54 Mar/04/2016: Biometrics done at 8am.
Day 85 Apr/04/2016: We moved and updated change of address with USCIS.
Day 92 Apr/11/2016: Email confirmation that spouse address has been updated. Though we both updated same time, USCIS only updated my wife's address on time.
Day 92 Apr/11/2016: Primary APllicant AOS approved. Received email alert from USCIS "We approved your application for I-485 AOS", unfortunately your address was not updated on time and approval notice I-797 sent to old address. Thankfully had mail forwarding with USCIS. Went to post office and put hold mail for old address.
Day 95 Apr/14/2016: At 4 pm EST received USCIS email alert stating card has been mailed.
Day 96 Apr/15/2016: Called USCIS support 6 times to get tracking number, finally got updated tracking number at 5.30 PM EST.

Day 99 Apr/18/2016: Lawyer called and discussed future and she emailed me Legal Permanent Resident rights and obligations memo.

So glad the whole process was over in less than a year from labor. I hope this helps you guys. If you have any questions you can respond.

Also Cross-Chargeability guys...good luck it is pretty straight forward and all you need is a good attorney. I highly recommend my attorney, if you need her reference, please reach out to me.

Thank you and GOD BLESS all. Good luck.
