Finally, I received a notice today from USCIS saying that my EB2-NIW application has been approved on February 18, 2011. It took ~5 months to process my application.
I want to thank you all who shared important information thorugh this thread. Whatever you shared was a great encourangement to me. Here is the timeline of my application if it is helpful to anyone:
Application: EB2-NIW
Service center : Texas
Filing: Concurrent (I-140 & I-485)
Application received: August 31, 2010
Receipt notice date: September 24, 2010
Biometric date: October 26, 2010
EAD & travel document received: second/thrid week of December
Approval date: February 18, 2011
No RFE
Keep in mind that I was in OPT when my applicaiton was submitted working at a state university as a postdoc but I got a job and moved to a private company from October 2010. They sponsored H1B and it was approved in the thrid week of December 2010.
