Topic: Do I need a transit visa in London?

No you don't, provided you have valid visa h1 or h4 in your pp before leaving US.
I travelled with my wife and kids on Kuwait Airways in June 08. With change of terminal in heathrow for clean up/ fueling, we had to walk a very long distance in the concourse, but no problems.We did not have transit visa.

Topic: What next?

If you have valid h1 stamp in your PP,you don't need AP at all.I had AP with me, but I did not show it, was admitted back on hib. Afterwards I asked the officer should I show him the AP he said no need, and it had no impact on my pending I-485 at that time. I entered with my family on June 18'08 and my GC was approved 43 days later on 8/1/08.

Topic: International travel without AP - Advise please

There should be no confusion.
Either u should have valid H1b visa stamp in your passport when you re enter USA or you must have an approved AP BEFORE you leave USA, or else your I-485 will be considered abandoned.
As far as the processing or potential of approval in 09/08, even GOD won't predict chances with USCIS- what they will or won't do.

Topic: Soft LUD on Old AP

I had LUDs on my approved AP and EAD and pending 485 from 7/07 on 7/29/08 and I did get the magic mails on 8/1/8 and the plastics on 8/8/8.
So I think you all have things really cooking and I think it is happening for you in the coming few days ahead.
Wish you all the best!

Topic: any 485 approval having different A# in 140 approval and 485 receipt

Keep your hopes on; it can come any day. But prediction, no one can attempt that with USCIS affairs.

Topic: any 485 approval having different A# in 140 approval and 485 receipt

yes Idid.
I had 2 A#s.The one I got on my GC was different than the one I had during the I-140 processing stage.
In fact I had put the A# in my 485 application, but when the receipt I797 came it was another A#, and that 2nd one stayed for the GC.
Also, when I filed a duplicate I-485 that I-797 came with the A# in the I-140 stage, and that I 485 is still pending at TSC, from where my GC was approved, so obviously it is not a problem as far my case was concerned.

I,my wife and son recieved the physical GCs in mail 15 minutes ago.
Details
EB2 India PD 8/19/05, wrongly entered in I 140 approval as 9/30/05. USCIS till date not corrected it, who cares anymore?!

I-485 RD 7/2/07 one LUD after FP in 9/17/07 then on 7/29/08
CPO e-mail 8/1/08 and softLUD 8/1,3/08
8/4- LUD Notice welcoming new PR,8/5-Approval Notice sent e-mail, soft LUD 8/6
8/8/8- Actual cards recieved.

btw, I have a 2nd I 485 for all of us also in TSC filed on 8/16/07 by myself when I did not see reciepts for 7/2 filings by attorney during the July fiasco. Many people warned me that it will delay our GC and will cause RFEs ,but nothing happened.

I knew that my wife's and my sons NC were cleared 4-5 months ago,but mine was pending.Do not know whether mine was cleared or I am a beneficiary of the 180 day rule.
Thanks for this wonderful site for learning and sharing info otherwise not possible elsewhere.

TSC IO says she does not see my case approved yet in their system.
I got CPO e-mail twice on 8/1/08 ,LUDS on 8/3,8/4 and 8/5, with 8/4 hard LUD stating welcome notice to new PR sent as well as CRIS email for that.
I have FP scheduled earlier for my efiled EAD at ASC today.IO says go for the FP as I have not received any hard copy evidence in my hand that I am approved.
