This is what happens after 485 receipts.
1. If one has not applied for EAD and TD , one applies for them and wait anxiously for their receipts.
2. Meanwhile some people start getting FP notices and one does not receive them he or she gets anxious. Finally one gets FP.
3. Meanwhile one gets the receipts for EAD, TD. One keeps checking the status online.
4. One goes and gives finger prints for INS.
5. Finally one gets his or her EAD and TD after 5 to 6 months , One enjoys the moment briefly.
6. Its almost a month since one received EAD and AP , Its time to apply for renewal.
7. Repeat step 1
8. Its almost 15 months since the first FP and one receives the second one because "Finger prints expire" ,
One has to repeat these steps in a cycle for almost 6 to 10 years depending on PD and "Nationality"
Meanwhile if USCIS changes any processes anywhere in the pipeline expect further delays.
I think best thing is to do participate in IV activities.
You covered everything pretty much except the address change and issues followed with that :p

If USD falls further-then other alternatives like migrating to Canada and Australia are more attractive.
Australia rewards you in terms of more points for having
-Better English
-Possessing high tech skills in demand
-Being less than 35 years old.
Australia has business ties to both Europe and far east Asia.
Compare this to US high skilled immigration system!. Ah!.
Canada is already worse than India (atleast for IT sector). Hard to find jobs. Salaries are 75-80% of corresponding US jobs. And Candian $ is also cheaper (though catching up with USD).

Well said! This is exactly why even I hate such ppl...If they're real patriots they have sooooo much to do in their countries and for their countries. Why migrate elsewhere and contradict themselves like fools? The pblm is...they dont have a clear direction...Like they say "...Na Ghar Ka Na Ghat Ka" (dont belong to a home nor waterside) :D

I would agree with this. My company is run by canadians. If there was any growth restrictions today i would not be the head of s/w development...
just because there is one bad fruit you dont throw the entire basket out...
My company has offices in both canada(toronto and vancouver) and US .. i have worked for extended periods of time in canada. I agree that career development opps are limited due to economic reasons, but there is no way toronto or vancouver is any more racist than atlanta or miami. Who said there is no discrimination against white collar workers in the US as well .. if not how do you explain so many people supporting illegal aliens, but nobody breathing a word about us ? Lets face it , the corporates here need us but many native born white collar workers actively hate us. Thats how you have so much opposition to H1-B and EB visas from the likes of programmer's guild and other labor unions.

What we need this time around is a basic introductory article describing the Green Card journey to the general public overseas.
What do you mean by GC Journey? Do you mean the various USCIS stages (labor, I-140, I-485, ...) in the GC process? If yes, I can do that. However, I am not sure when it will get done. What is your deadline?

Hello Dude,
Bangladesh- EB3.. You are one son of gun lucky dude. :)
Wish you and your family all the best in the Future.
Now, can I expect you to donate your 1st million for us to lobby in here? Man it would be of great help.. please....
---------------------------------------
Indaianabacklog --- Why the he** dont you understand you are born in the damn country with Billion people? But if you are not, then yes its a surprise. But how are you ROW?
And also from my experience --- You got to keep poking the USCIS authorities for them to wake up and take your application to process.
Let me tell you my story:
My company applied for my extension after 1st 3 yrs of H1 last year in Sept. I expected to get extension before Nov and I had planned to go to India in December. Well the dec came and I did not have extension, but I went to India as I was supposed to hoping that the extension would just arrive. Dec over, Jan over, Feb over, I am sitting Idle at home in India. Then I called USCIS- the officer told that since I left the country while extension applied and my h1 has expired, it means I have abondoned my application.. What the f***. Well, later I started following up with my h1 company.
Finally my office Amin staff personally went into USCIS office, explaining my situation and also showing proof that the client is waiting for me to get back and start work, I got h1 extension approved on Jul 24th.. What a relief.
Ran to Chennai for stamping and flew into Bay Area. Next day Med appointments cause i was to file 485 before Aug 17th.
Oh Gosh! I could barely do that and my application reached the NSC on Aug 17th. Now got the receipt numbers.
So Unless you keep poking them You wont hear updates. Just my 2 points experience in the swarm of people here.

Thank you guys,
Even if it's EB3? Eb3 requires only Bachelor, without any experinece, am I wrong?
Only Eb2+ 5 years of progressive work experience requires all the employment letters throughtout the 5 years. Am I accurate?
Thank you again for your help.
Depends on what your company gave as the qualifications for the position. In my case it was EB3 bachelors + 2 years work experience so I had to give experience letters.

500 Eb1 numbers are unused
500 numbers spills to Eb2
There are no 100 Eb2 India cases and 50 Eb2 China cases and Eb2 ROW/phillipines/mexico is current
Now Eb2 India+Eb2 china uses up 150 numbers and
350 numbers spills to Eb3
Now there are 1000 Eb3 India cases from 2001 to 2003
Eb3 china,ROW etc there are 1000 cases fom 2003 onwards and none from 2001 to 2003
As spill over needs to go by PD Eb3 India takes of the 350 numbers and may be moves by 1-2 months and Eb3 ROW doesnt get any because no older cases.
DISCLAIMER: this is only illustrative and highly oversimplified, Actual scenario will have many many variables
OK thanks for this explanation. I think I need to get a few drinks now!!;) Thanks ags123

Hey bkarnik,
As the report said that there is a possibility that there will be a loss of 40k visas. My question to you is What will be the I485 processing date in the Visa Bulletin if we assume that 40k visas are not loss by the agency. You guess estimate is also fine.

hi chisinau,or anyone..
Hi chisinau..
It's destiny that I came across your posting.. like you, I am an RN waiting for the DS230 approval also since Oct.2006.. believe it or not ,I was also informed by the NVC to resubmit a new DS230 because the previous one I submitted last year was already outdated. Now, I sent them the updated DS230 last June 27,2007.
I really want to ask if in your opinion, or if you have some positive information regarding this…do we still have a chance of receiving an embassy interview and medical exam schedule before October 2007?
I would really appreciate a response.. thank you

Would you please elaborate if the flower campaign has hit any mainstream media like CNN, Fox etc?? Or just the TOI and other small covers? I just want to know how famous this has become.. Thanks.
I wouldnt make such a big request just for attention from TOI. Please trust me we will get attention if we manage to send a few hundred flowers. I am not exaggerating. And I am talking about bigger US media outlets. And I am also not speculating. I am 100% sure. Please send the flowers as per these directions from IV core. (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=6191).

Hi desi3933,
My wife got approval notice from 10/01/2006. Her employer is willing to give paystubs from March 2007. Will this put her back in status so that she can file I-485?
We are planning to resign after she file I-485 at July end and apply for COS with 2 paystubs. Will this cause a problem or is it legal?
Could you please advice?
Thanks
I read from a different post that you can file for AOS if you are out of status for less than 180 days. there is a section 245(k) which allows you to do this. I don't know the accuracy of this info.
this is from murthy.com site
Section 245(k) enables a person who is adjusting status in an employment-based category (whether on the basis of a labor certification or in one of the special Green Card categories that does not require a labor certification or job offer) to adjust, even if s/he has been out of status or worked without authorization for less than 180 days. This provision does not require an immigrant petition or labor certification to have been filed on or before any particular date and there is also no penalty fee involved.

Why are people afraid of sending flowers. What are you afraid of.
Do you think that USCIS will deny your application because you sent them the flowers?
Do you think that USCIS will stop processing your green card applications?
Do you think that USCIS will request the president to issue an executive order and stop accepting any your application.
STOP THINKING AND JUST DO IT. It looks like you have forgotten the "SEND A BRICK CAMPAIGN" carried out by those who wants to secure the borders.
Just do it. Send flowers now.

Just out of curiosity how many of those 60% were citizens? I know a lot of friends who have put in extra 5 years to get the citizenship.
I think aging parents is probably the biggest and valid concern a lot of ppl have.
I think there are plenty of people who always planned to go back .. the GC /USC was just a career advancement tool for these people. In fact, a survey of US returnees to India after 2000 shows that the majority (around 60%) were USCs/ GC holders, which is clearly an indication that the relocation was by choice rather than any immigration issues.
And finally, many of us have family issues like taking care of aged parents which either makes the re-location inevitable or in some cases may coincide with career goals.
I have seen that most ppl who have been here for over 5 years have almost fallen in love with the possibilities. They talk about going back to take advantage of the booming growth but very few actually do go back.
Or maybe some of us came here precisely for the reasons you mention, seeking greener pastures but fell in love with the openness, informality and the possibilities here .

What is the benefit of applying for an OCI card for the kids and how long does this process take?
the kid does not need a visa to enter India. Also, if you go on a visitor visa, then your stay is limited to 180 days at the max. On an PIO you can stay how ever long you wish to, but after 180 days, you need to register with the district police station to get a certificate of extension. this is usually valid for about 2 years. you can renew that every 2 years.
If you are on an OCI, then the above restriction on PIO does not apply. You have all the prvileges of an India citizen, except that you cannot vote and hold agricultural land.
I am not sure about sutdying at Indian citizen rate. You might have to pay the fees in USD, if i am not mistaken.
