Friends,
Yesterday, it was our turn too to get the approval notice. It was a long wait like many of you. Checking into IV forums has helped me cope up with the delay. It is more than 8 years since entering US, 6 years since signing up with employer for GC, and five years since filing for labor. BEC and 485 were the biggest unpredictables in the journey. There were times when I thought if it was all that worth. Anyway, now we have completed this arduous journey (being an Indian).
As a token of appreciation for IV and good will for my fellow countrymen continuing the journey, I am also making a contribution of $100/-. I saw someone already made such comment here. Needless to say, my contribution is along the way.
Good luck to all in waiting.

I mailed my passport for renewal to CGI Houston a week before it expired and it came back with a new passport in 2 weeks. I was able to talk to two people. Its very hard to get them on the phone....but yet I kept trying.
The address on the form is kind of confusing. They do not tell in the on-line application that they are expecting an Indian address and a US address unless you print it and see for yourself.

Actually I saw an improvement for 03/20. 6 approvals for that day then it's back to no approvals.
Looks like approvals has slowed down further.
This is why at the end of the year there are unused visas. All due to inefficiencies of USCIS.
We are doomed.

A new theory has it that DOL deferred audit processing to H-2 temp labor.
yeah, I have been hearing this as well but I yet have to find some authentic sources of this information.

Does anybody know any link that gives online status of PERM labor ? I heard that there is one for employers but not for employee.
No you cannot do this, just the Employer and Lawyer can do this. My Employer gives me the login password, perhaps you can ask the Employer to make for you a sub-account, or to give you the Login Dates.

2)Must be present in the US for at least 6 months in every year
3) Cannot apply for certain government jobs
4)Cannot vote
5)Cannot apply for a US passport
6)Must be renewed every 10 years?
Citizenship

Very clear explaination of difference between Cintizenship and GC. Thanks Lasantha.

By accepting the applications for 1st week of July USCIS would potentially
be cooling down 65% of peoples and thereby breaking down the concerted effort and lawsuit everything ....
Then once the steam goes off this issue send this 65% to some infinite coldstorage/blackbox like BPC... May be this time the BPC will be created in deserts of Arizona or Mountains of Colorado.
They are planning "Damage Control" for sure ...

Visa Bulletin Mess Update: Rumors and Innuendo
HLG has confirmed that the CIS is not returning I-485 Applications back to those who filed I-485 during the first week of July. This is leading many to speculate that the CIS may reverse course and re-re-amend the July Visa Bulletin; whether the Visa Bulletin actually reopens remains to be seen. HLG normally refrains from commenting on rumors, but we have talked to several Washington insiders and believe that this is seriously being considered.
What does this mean for foreign nationals who planned on filing I-485s in July 2007?
HLG recommends that all foreign nationals who planned on filing I-485s in June take two actions:
Have your medical appointments completed. Medical appointments can back up quite quickly. Therefore we urge people to complete their medicals.
Send in your documents to HLG. HLG�s I-485 Step By Step Guide has a list of documents that we need for all I-485 filing. HLG will not begin preparing the I-485 at this time, but we still recommend that you send us all of the items on the list.

What does this mean for foreign nationals who planned on filing via Consular Processing?
We urge all foreign nationals to attend consular appointments. The Consulates are clearly issuing visa stamps to those with appointments.

I would suggest taking an infopass appointment and also contact your congressman. No guarantees but those are two options so why not try both.
Forgot to mention that I am still awaiting a reply to the SR.

Pl. let me know.

Guys,
Thanks for the quick response, much appreciated. I think I have the answer to my question.
Essentially:
1. RD will determine sequence in which AOS are looked at by case officers at USCIS. So July applicants with 2006 PD will geat EAD/AP, etc sooner than October applicants with 2002 PD.
2. In the event of retrogression (say to 2005), only those applications which have a current PD at the time of visa approval will get the green card. So 2002 PD will get GC before 2006 PD.
I hope I understood correctly?

xyzgc,
I agree with your message that immigrants should clear their dues before they leave. I'm of the belief that, even if they complete 36 points in Social security when they leave, they should leave honorably without any dues/liabilities. That is the choice we made knowing the repercussions.
Yes, that is the basic message.
Having said that, the way you pursued your argument in the context of non-GC holders having a home is not correct, in my opinion.
I am completely opposed to non-GC holders buying a house. Tell me something - tomorrow I get out of status and can't find a job for 6 months and finally decide to leave, you think I am a fool to use up all my savings to disburse loans??? Its unthinkable. 6 months without a job is not far-fetched, I know several folks who were in the this situation. Without an employer my immigration status would be invalid. EAD/H1-B is not GC. Either you are a gc holder or you aren't.
Buying house is optional, paying off the mortgage is NOT.
I would buy if my family had dual incomes, we had our permanent resident status, long term plans to live in the US, income to house ratio was right (1:3 or something reasonable not 1:7 as it was/is with most middle class folks in the Bay area) and so on.
http://patrick.net/housing/crash.htm
This is decision one must very carefully make. Its not like buying a car or doing your groceries.
I refrained from writing "you" instead wrote "one" and "I", I don't want to be misunderstood and beaten up on that:)
"Make sure you pay off your mortgages if you do and cover all your liabilities" could have been rephrased as "Immigrants leaving MUST ensure that they pay off their mortgaes" with a strong emphasis on 'must'
Agreed.
In any case, I don't have the same kind of writing skills as Slumdog. It must be evident by now. :)
