Speedo,
Yes I did call the USCIS the day prior to getting the welcome email. Now if that triggered the approval or not I can't be certain.
Lasantha, I have a similar profile like yours except for my PD will become current in May and I-485 was filed July 2nd. My question to you is that did you call the service center to inquire about your status, and that triggered approval.

We have lots of Tips to give out. Here is an article about running a first 5 K
---
This is the part I like, training advise is included. I have never run 5K. So I am picking the San Francisco 5K event to get started.
China 2008 Olympics here I come ;), maybe not.
People in Nor. Cal. PM me if you are a newbie at this, I am one too. Lets do this together.

Mostly repeating
1) H1b extension and visa stamping by post (very very essential)
2) Reinstate premium processing for I-140 (very urgent)
2) Preventing wastage and recapture of visa numbers (atleast atempt)
3) I cannot buy a house because of uncertainity
4) WE TEND TO SAVE MORE AND SPEND LESS WHEN THIS UNCERTAINITY PREVAILS. and lot of us have tremendous spending capability (cars, houses, tourism etc)
5) Canada and Europe needs me and lot of US educated/skilled people, so please USE us BETTER.

I agree with Randy. I think Ron Gotcher mentioned something very similar. what I am not sure about is:
Can one apply for CP after I-485 been pending with USCIS?? is that possible?? does than mean that EAD and AP will be automatically not valid to be used?? do we have to be current in the VB to apply for CP??
Thanks
There is an advantage to filing through CP when USCIS is slow to process applications. According to statistics this has been the case for last 10 years with USCIS.
CP approvals are pretty fast and when you apply they do not wait till the dates to become current, NVC process the application to the point where the only thing it needs is a visa number.
For example April 1st when an applicants PD is current NVC will request a visa number for the applicant and any derivative applicants around the 10th of April (this is stadard practice). Then typically in the next 60 days (May or June in this case) schedule the interview. You get the visa after successful interview.
If you filed AOS, USCIS is supposed to pull your case and start working on it when PD become current. From what we hear they do not do this properly, they do not follow establised guildlines (FIFO). CP has a distinct advantage in this regard. Only thing is you do not get to have EAD/AP.

My meeting isn't going to address tactical issues such as the ones you are disputing. It is more of a general meeting to educate staffers about the general frustrations we all experience and to offer some general suggestions on how to solve the problems. Hopefully it will lead to more meetings and perhaps at some point we can get involved in specifics when new legislation is proposed to address these issues.

... the problem however is that the laws and procedures of the land do not care if you are suffering to do things right which makes it an UNFAIR system.
Hold that thought Albaman, the verdict on immigration is not out yet. True the laws do not care if you are suffering but then you have to ask urself 2 questions:
1) B4 IV, how many organizations/Individuals have voiced their plights? If you keep suffering silently, even ur next door neighbour wont know if ur alive or dead.
2) We are not american citizens or even permanent residents. Why will the law and the lawmakers care for us automatically? Forget about vote-banks for a minute. Think about why they will care at all, especially when no one was voicing an increase in Green Cards? Big corps have voiced an increse in H1B's and they got it from time to time.

I got the "card production ordered" email today which probably means that the gc application has been approved.
Here's the info for immigration voice team/users' tracking approvals
my PD is nov 2005.
Receipt date: 7/31/2007
center: nebraska
I got married last year and the lawyers were about to file the follow-to-join application for my wife in the next couple of days. But my application seems to have got approved first. Has anyone been in this situation before?
thanks!
If what I have heard is true, your lawyers made it late.
The Visa bulletin came out almost 4 weeks back. You should have hurried the application in. Check with your lawyer to see is there any special ways to get your app in.
What i will say is hurry it now at least.
Good luck buddy

Slumdog,
You did exactly what you have accused others of(that is bashing). You could have simply opined, put your point through and left. But you went further than that, I don't understand what is the whole idea of one group passing judgment on others. There are EB2 better than EB3 threads, the labor substitutes vs. honest to God super qualified deserving PERM filers, then there is US educated vs. non US educated and now renters vs. home owner and savers vs. big spenders. What I fail to understand is, if you have to make your point please do so but keep your opinion about others to yourself on your blogs or you personal websites.
Now coming to the point:
These people do not want to buy houses not because they cannot afford or they want to play safe. They just don’t want to spend. All they care is Saving, Saving, saving their entire life & keep filling their bank balances. Often strangely both couples are working.
What's wrong if a couple is saving and filling their bank accounts ? Tell me one thing that is wrong about being frugal ? May be they are saving to for their future education or for their kids education ? For a small business ? or Simply retiring at 40 ? or May be having a bank account full of money gives them same pleasure that you get from your McMansion ? Or they simply want to live debt free and sleep well at night. So unless I have some material possession to show for my money, I am wasting it all away ? Isn't it ?
These are people who want to live in cheapest rent (even with double income) in single bedroom & they don’t mind children sleeping in their bed room. They don’t mind sending their children to low grade schools.
If you want to throw your hard earned money and pay the highest possible rents, please go ahead. Don't preach. Public education is free and private school are not cheap so please explain what do you mean by "Low Grade Schools" ? Besides renters can choose any school they want by simply renting in the best school district at all grades. Your point doesn't make sense. Besides living frugally gives your kids a better shot at quality education then overspending on unnecessary things.
Their intention to come into this country is only for earning money & because they don’t have high ambitions & all they care is saving & not spending, they just think of saving in all possible ways.
Making money is a perfectly fine ambition is a capitalistic country. May be their ambition is to save early and then provide the best for their family by working part time in later years. Please define "high ambition" ? Buying a high rise condo ? McMansion in a suburb ? Would that instantly qualify me to be an ambitious achiever ?
They call themselves rich because of bank balances but in my
It doesn't matter what your views are, if they have money in the bank they are actually "rich". If they can maintain the same life style in good times and bad times, they are rich. They can provide food, shelter and health insurance for their family during tough times, they are rich. Unfortunately your views will NOT pay bills, so you can distribute them freely on this forum all you want it won't make a difference.
They call themselves rich because of bank balances but in my view they are poor than most of homeless guys who live out streets.
Don't insult someone just because he/she is homeless. People do go through tough times and not everyone is fortunate to have smooth sailing all along. You said have seen it all but you haven't learned to be humble !!! May be you ain't seen nothing yet. Start with "Pursuit of Happiness" the movie that is.

I'm all for this. This is very close to my heart. I probably care more about this than I do, my 485 approval.(can't have one without the other, I know I know. But still.).
I don't know when I'll get my 485 approved, hopefully within the next year. But I'm willing to work on this, whatever it takes - contributions, lawmaker meetings, DC.
I'm in.
This has got to be simple too. When the citizenship law was first drafted, immigrants got their green cards within months of entering the country. Start to End of the greencard process took under a year, if not less.
The intention of the law was to have them learn the language, the ways of the country, and assimilate, which was expected to take about 5 years, before applying for citizenship.
These days the green card process itself take over 5 years for a lot of people. Most Indians and Chinese in the EB2 category, and pretty much the entire EB3 category have lived here longer than 5 years. In those 5 years they have gone to school here, paid income taxes, bought homes, and learned the language (well they had to, in order to qualify for an employment based green card!). What more "assimilation" do they need to do?
I definitely think that the following should be the criteria for eligibility to apply for citizenship,
- An approved green card
- 5 years of continuous U.S. residence starting from the date the 485 application was received.
Let's do this.

Lawyers are making good money - they are intimidating everyone who wants to file on their own !!!
My company asked me for a agreement to give me the letter - that agreement is also crafted by a Lawyer - Business everywhere !!
And I got this reply :
See, hear that ? "NO WAY FOR USCIS". Now, I dont know why some lawyers are spreading this nonsense that "BEWARE, USCIS will stop accepting new petitions if they receive 'too many petitions'. What is 'too many ??? Who defines 'too many'? Is 'too many' defined as the time when the mail room clerk gets back pain from lifting boxes of petitions ? Or the guy printing 485 receipt notices gets carpel tunnel syndrome ?
PLEASE PUT THIS IDEA TO REST. USCIS WILL ACCEPT PETITIONS THRU JULY 31, NO MATTER HOW TIRED THEY ARE AND NO MATTER HOW SICK THEY GET OF SEEING 485 FEDEXes COMING IN DAY AFTER DAY AFTER DAY. GOT IT ????

Texanmom - Another great asset to our Team.
santb1975 - 3 out of the 4 members I recruited are female and that includes me. I partnered up with Nola to make this campaign successful as well and I will be partcipating in all three events we picked and may be more. Thanks to my Endurance :-). My friend who is volunteering her time for Team IV is a female as well.
We have more ladies joining us soon. Watchout :p
I know that females are disproportionately represented in these forums - even so.........I would like to see more women participate. Going forward, I will give $10 towards even female who signs up (upto 10 memberships). If you cannot find company, exercise with a cell phone and pepper spray on you.

To post in local theatres, the state chapter members have agreed to pitch in and cover the cost rather than requesting from IV core.
Yes, thats a great idea. Apart from Ethnic Grocery stores.

I didn't miss a zero. USCIS gets 456,000 apps per year. They can give 521,000. Which means they have extra 65,000 per year. So to clear 600,000 at the rate of 65,000 per year is about 9.2 years.
This is not a discussion for this, but your argument is not clear. If USCIS gets 456,000 apps per year, and they can clear $521,000 per year (more than what they get), where is the question of 10 year wait? New applications don't get cleared first, they are put at the back (of course with a lot of inefficiency, and irregualrities). Wait is due to uneven distribution of apps/countries.
