Concurrent Filing of I-140 & I-485
I wanted to share my experience to see if anyone has received I-140 approval notice yet. I did concurrent filing in February 2016, but I have not received I-140 approval yet. I am under EB-3 category.

Timeline:

02/17/2016 I-140, I-485, I-765, and I-131 Receipts from USCIS
03/04/2016 Received notification of Biometrics Appointment
03/18/2016 Biometrics Completed
03/30/2016 Received new EAD card with AP

This is where I am getting little anxious. It appears a lot of people receive at least I-140 notice very soon after biometrics and EAD card. I thought I-140 has to be approved first before EAD is out, but I guess you can get EAD without I-140 approval?

Also, stupidly, I lost my receipt for all the forms above because I was careless and thought I will get another notice if they ask me to take additional action. But every time I check my status for I-140 it kept on saying it "sent you the receipt notice that describes how we will process your case. Please follow the instructions in the notice." Does this mean there were specific instructions in the notice? I know it sounds so stupid asking this basic question, but I honestly don't remember anything significant in the receipt notice itself.

Also would it be possible to get green card by August this year? I thought concurrent filing reduces the time to 6 months, but it seems like only some lucky ppl get GC that early.

Sorry for asking so many questions. I am just anxious I guess.
