Off track: After I-485 filed, what to look for?

[augustus]

I only know information about I-485 filing but do not know what to expect after it is filed?

Can someone tell me what to expect after things are in place? Like expecting Receipt date, fingerprinting - how many of them, what to look for and what to watch out for etc. A consolidated discussion may help many who are unaware of the system.

Who will get such information, lawyer or the applicant?

I have the same question. Is there is list of FAQs somewhere?

In normal circumstances (without the floodgates open) you would get a receipt within 2-3 weeks after the application is submitted. Fingerprinting happens soon after (still within a month). Then you get an EAD first, then the AP. In all this your lawyer will be informed as well as you. Sometimes your lawyer gets to hear first b4 you.

...Wait for approval of i-140 depending on date they are processing at NSC. Hope this helps. this is my 2 cents
