The packet was just asking me to confirm my address, and my soliciters address and details. They sent a copy to me, my soliciter, and my employer.
was mailed to me on the 18th of april.
on the cover letter, it said i had been sent these because my PD was about to become current, and or a visa number would be available for me within the next 3- 6 months.
My take on the Mumbi consulate, VB, is just wait and see. It says most other countries, not ROW...and to be honest, i am not guna belive anything untill i see it on the state dept web site. in the full VB which should be out next week.
Im consular processing, im not even on the USA yet, i have had my job held open for the last 2 years.
i carnt see row moving forward that much but i think it will move a little. i dont think it will move back.

People who are getting approved. Please post your notice received dates. It will help estimate if the USCIS is going by RD. Pappu says they are following FIFO but they are approving Feb and jan 2006 cases while 2005 PD is still waiting. Maybe they are going by RD FIFO. If we know the dates of people getting approved it will help.

vparam..are u a sensationalist..or do you normally freak out like this?
there is nothing to sensationalise or freaking out . if you see the subsequent post and reading all relevant materials , you will understand that few are trying to keep CIR alive while many want it to be killed. Since i keep scourging to see if any new is available about the conference and have not seen the house clerk reporting the reciept of the CIR, i was just asking a question to find out if anyone had any news reading sobers post on blue slip, is some news......

Based on past experience i feel that people will cling to a false hope and make assumptions about getting their GC's. My primary concern is people will stop making efforts to push for recapture or any other relief. The spillover rules are such that EB3-I will not get any additional visas till 2012 (at the earliest). Who knows what the stituation will be then.
We should also be debating why the PD for Mexico EB3 is higher than India when they have more people in the queue before their PD. I would take the numbers with a grain of salt or at the least not forget the past... as someone said if we dont learn from our history, history will repeat itself.
Dear Chris_Rock, GC_Check, trueguy, 485Mbe4001 and others
Happy to see you debating healthy discussions. No flames. This is a mature discussion unlike recent past.
Yes, ONLY we EB3's need to be serious.
I agree that CIR is impossible till March 2011. If one sees Americaworker.org ads in TV, I do not think law makers will listen to us. EB2 is placed in queue nicely.
Let us debate decently and do not respond to people that start flames.
Thanks to all of you.

Trying to bump this up to get attention of experinced folks
your lawyer is right. When you file 485, your employer should give a employment offer letter that states that you have a job offer as per the terms and conditions of labor certification. That includes the geographical location of the job offer.

Most of people are getting. Your case may have some issues. Or it may be in hand of person who is on week or vacation. Date current means no guarantee that you will get on day 1.
Not TRUE. I see 24 cases got updated out of 154. That is pretty good for 2 days. Nobody can do the work of whole month in day 1 and sti idle for rest of the month.
Friends, don't worry we will see most of approval in coming days.

Dont worry about anyone being curt. They are all nice people.
If you call NOW you will get to VM and it is simple, quick and effective. Please do it. You dont have to worry about being 'cut off' or a 'curt response' if you are 'speaking' to a VM box. Right? So, whats the hold up? Go ahead and call all numbers.
Thanks!

My son was born physically disabled (cerebral palsy). He his wheel-chaired bound and is totally dependent on us. He speaks and understands everything. He went to High School here,and got his Diploma and Certificates. That's why when me and my wife came here in 1992, from Bombay, India for my son's operation and came with B-2 visas medical visa. By the doctor letters our visa had continued for three and half years, and temporary work permit for two years only. Then we tried to change our status, but that didn't work out We also went to the INS local office, they advised us at that time it was better for us not to change our status. We did not get a deportation letter. We got a letter from INS saying that had they had CLOSE our case. We all three have SSN.
My employer filed for LC in 01 and approved in 06. Also my brother filed for I130 in 01. In Feb 06 filed for I140 and approved in July 06. Due to backlog with the Labor Dept, my son is now 23. So my son can not file for I485 with me. He also can not file for PERM because he is disabled. Though he is very good at computers but who would hire a disabled person.
PLEASE DO SOMETHING ABOUT THIS ISSUE!!!!!!!!!!

Waiting is all we have been doing for so many years. I have been living separately from my wife for last 3 years. When I reached out to Pappu on IV, he refused to do anything for me. I am ready to come forward and talk to media but nobody is here to listen.
I am seriously considering some media awakening event these days, it might be suicide or whatever it takes but this DOS stupidity has to stop. Its affecting so many people's life. I agree GC is not a right that we can demand from US government but they can't treat us like this after investing so many productive years for this Economy.
buddy...your quote kinda worries me. I can understand what you have gone through but always remember there are good things to life beyond worrying about this GC mess, following visa bulletins, and subsequent frustration/high bp/heart attack.
I do what I can to educate the people around me about this legal immigration limbo and whatever within my control. I suggest you chill and use your energy positively to benefit yourself.
Spring is here and I am going fishing this weekend, wanna come along?

Great post, ravi98. Also, I totally agree with smuggymba.
There are some members like bitzbytz who have already filed their I-485 in 2007 and their priority date is right around the corner. They've only got a couple of months to go.
But then there are the rest of us who have a much longer wait. My brother, for instance, is looking at 5 or 6 years to get his green card. I got put through a Technology Alert List (TAL) check last time I went to apply for my visa, got stuck for close to 3 months, and will likely have to go through screening every single time I apply for a visa. Needless to say, it is a major pain.
I am sure there are more members like me who are going through similar issues or who have to wait years for a green card. If we don't lobby for changes, who is going to do it for us? It's going to be very difficult to get anything done with the mentality that 'I will participate / contribute if I see results'. ' It's highly unlikely that it is going to be successful, so what's the point?' Now, I'm not naive or stupid. I know that reducing the EB backlog is a very difficult task. However, if we don't start doing something about it, it's going to stay like this forever or get even worse. It's not going to randomly change out of the blue.
If you are happy with the status quo, that's fine. Like for example, if your green card is right around the corner like bitzbtyz, or you really don't mind whether you get a gc or not like designserve, that's fine. However, if it's important to you like it is to me, then we have to DO SOMETHING. No one is going to do it for us. We are it. By all means, don't participate / contribute to IV if it doesn't serve your purpose. However, if it does serve your purpose, or if you have family or dear friends that could benefit from EB backlog reduction, then I am requesting you to help by participating in Advocacy days and/or contributing.

I think we should make a list of things we lost and found in D.C :)
The amazing thing is We Found all the things we lost. I found the same pair of glasses Twice! The owner managed to lose it again in the situation room and I found it again - I think he didn't like the glasses :)
Chargers and ties were lost and found. I think after working 3 days straight, without much food/sleep and thousand and one things on our mind - we too were lost :)
Meenal
Speaking of ties... I met a volunteer (I think his name was Rajesh or Ramesh) at the registration desk who "loaned" me a tie for my Lobby meeting. When I asked him how I can return it to him he said "just give it to any CA members. I'll get it"
So please friend... whoever or wherever you are thank you and please send me a PM so that I can mail it back to you!

illusions,
They are processing based on RD not PD. I have early 2004 PD but RD is JULY 30, I guess I have wait for a while.
yeah it seems that reporing of 485 approvals has slowed down a lot, i rem seeing 10 > a day a few weeks back. The sadest thing is that that one user who reported getting approved today has a PD of 07/15/2004.... i thought they were approving 05 cases.

If someone is responsible for the current state of affairs in the H1B area , It is Indian firms . The H1B1 was started in 'GOOD FAITH ' by United States to help people from "all over the world" to come in and work in the US , but large Indian IT houses have overexploited these loopholes so much that we are currently in this sorry state of affairs .
http://www.sharedprosperity.org/bp187.html
Agreed. But also please note that there is nothing called "GOOD FAITH". Just making a law is enough. It is US INS responsibility to ensure no one (mostly Indian IT companies and small companies in US operated from bedrooms, not basement or garage!! :) those created in garage are HP and GOOGLE) can exploit it. So blaming TCS and WIPRO and INFY and PATNI is not enough!! If we don't protect our house and thief exploits that to rob us that is our fault. This holds true for US INS too. And don't assume INS didn't know this. No exploitation is possible without Govt's active or passive approval. This is one big ecosystem and all have their share. That is how all businesses are operated across the world. Immigration is one of the biggest businesses here. And they want this chaos to exist for their interests.
