    Sorry for using this thread, i was not sure where to post this mesage and did not want to start a new thread.

    I just learnt from my lawyer that he submitted my I-485 aplication one day before my medical reports reached him. Basically he filed with out the medical reports. Will USCIS reject my aplication?He is saying it is allowed?

    You should be fine, one of the latest FAQs says you can file without medical report.

    Hi GC ON DEMAND, I think you are right... Looks like we did not receive any spill over from EB1 and EB2 ROW --- Here are the calcs...

    Regular EB2 ROW gets 34,436 -- see below for break down

    We know that EB2 gets 140,000 * 28.6% of visas which is 40,040.
    Out of 40,040, 7% is allocated to china and an other 7% goes to India.
    So EB2 ROW = 40,040 - 2*(40,040*7%) = 34,436 -------------------------------------------- (1)

    In the document that you have, EB2 ROW received 27, 406 visas... How? see below

    Total allocation for Eb2 (A1) - 53,872
    India received (B1) - 19,961
    China's received (C1) - 6,505
    -------------------------------------------------
    EB2 (ROW) net = A1-(B1+C1) = 27,406 -------------------------------------------------------- (2)
    --------------------------------------------------

    EB2 (I&C) Regular quota {2*(40,040*7%)} = 5,604 -------------------------------------------(3)

    (1) - (2) - (3) gives the spill over from EB2 ROW to EB2 (I&C), which is 1,426

    Which means EB2 ROW to EB2 I&C spill over is mere 1,426 ???? Hope we are wrong... this looks scary...


    The calculation looks incorrect.

    You considered the I+ C allocations and subtracted those in line 1. You again subtracted those in your final calculation.

    The straight forward calculation is EB2 ROW is entitled to 34,436 (1) and they used 27,406 (2). So splillover was around 7 K.

    after filing for I-485 on Jun 1. Also filing for EAD for self and 3 family members. EB3 Nov 2001. H1B stamped in visa valid till Oct 2008.

    Do I need to wait for Receipt of Filing?

    Cancellations charges ( USD 200 per ticket - 4 tickets) and new tickets (difference of 300 per ticket - 4 tickets) will cost a lot. Anyone else in similar situations? Anyone know something? Anything?

    You really cannot determine the achievable factor of a goal on a scale of 1 to 100 so that ordering is moot. In fact, there is some merit in keeping our most ambitious goals upfront - with enough support from the community we might just achieve them.

    Point noted.
    NorCal'ers as well as others, please act NOW... we can do it, IV can help!

    It is good that you shared yr experience. I always avoid a country which needs transit visa. everyone should fwd this email so that such countries are forced to change rules. best option nowadays is to fly from NY which have direct flights

    I saw this link Murthy's email too. The total pre-adjudicated cases in the chart is matching with the total in the document. Well now there are more un-answered questions:
    1. Does all other pending 485 include employment based ? If yes what % are employment based ? Obviously we do not have any country specific data on these.
    2. Is there any way to know whether individual case is pre-adjudicated or not ?
    USCIS has fooled us again. No good statistical analysis can be done on incomplete/inaccurate data. I am going from hopeful to hopeless again. I am EB2-I Feb 2006.
    Thanks a lot for staying on top of this and posting your analysis.

    I dont get this - the PDF clearly mentions that the table is for ALL PENDING EMPLOYMENT-BASED 485s. So that means: -
    1. It does not include any Family-based 485s.
    2. This is not a count of just pre-adjudicated cases - this is a count of ALL PENDING CASES.
    3. And since this is a count of ALL PENDING CASES, it also means that ALL DEPENDENT CASES are also included in this count - all DEPENDENTS HAVE TO FILE THEIR OWN 485s!

    Sometimes I just wonder, if most people here on this board have an illness or over-analyzing everything. It is so simple if you just read what is stated and take it at the face!

    I wont switch to vonage because i dont make much phone calls. Try to use google talk to cut expenses.

    Hows Airtel 1c plan? Is the call quality and connection good ?

    Thanks

    Quality is good. But the problem is they ask you call the local number which some time not working.

    I don't disagree with any of the statements.. It is totally personal decision for someone to donate or not.

    I agree that there is no silver bullet in any analysis. It is a number crunching game.. What is important is follow-up after analysis, which is only possible with IV.


    Dems want votes and more Hispanics
    GOP want more temps since it is very good for business
    Lawyers want more money so they are not interested in solutions. They are in it for money
    Individuals want their greencard just in time and not worry about the guy right behind them..
    tracker websites need traffic to get money from adds, so they don't want solution..



    Thanks for your kind words, its people like you who motivate me to analyze the data and create interpretations for all of us. Believe me its all very simple but has been only possible with news, inputs, suggestions and critique from all its really teamwork. Only together we have been able to come to understand how best we can predict what the future holds for us. Nobody claims or guarantees for accuracy however we do try our best to give out the most up to date forecast. Many folks like and appreciate this and it brings traction and new members to IV. Nobody is discounting that advocacy is not important it really is important. However the characterization of freeloader by some is extremely unfortunate I would attribute it simply to their lack of understanding. VBKRIS it�s absolutely yours and IV prerogative to keep information in the Donor forum to respect hose who contribute financially, however in the internet age information travels very fast.

    One idea is to give GC to AOS applicants regardless of namecheck result, if all
    other security checks are OK and let the namecheck run in background . If the namecheck turns out critical , cancel the GC & deport the applicant.
    But USCIS and lawyers will loose big time , because of reduced demand for APs,EADs etc.

    Lets add this in IV action Item.

    Guys,
    This is one of the key reasons why we are not successful in our mission. All we can do is "lets kill H1/L1 so I can get GC", "lets not worry about EB3 as long as my EB2 is fine!". The only way we can make any progress is to stay united. Lets not try to find carrots that would really be sticks on people who are also part of this cause.

    EB3-I and EB2-I are both the same. EB3-I can port to EB2-I when the PD comes near. This is a normal human tendency and anybody would like to do it. The present EB3 guys are just waiting for the EB2 PD's to progress and they would move to EB2. I don't see anything wrong in that.
    Lets come up with some action plan. Maybe we can draw the media's attention or send letters to our lawmakers and white house.

    After so many countries who receive major immigrant influx like UK, Australia, Canada and New Zealand have implemented a points based system why on earth lawmakers here don't wake-up. In a post-crisis world if US does not regain the old economic supremacy we'll see expatriate population redirecting itself.

    It's already happening with Canada's AINP program. If some of the anti-immigrant comments are to be believed Canadians must be darn fools :D

    You are right, with second set of application I just filed 485, did not apply for EAD and AP.

    every lawyer who has OKed multiple 485s has specifically asked us to apply for EAD/AP on only one of the applications.

    I think if you have I-551 stamped on your passport then you do not need any other document. i-551 is as good as physical green-card. You can carry the approval notice with you. This is my opinion, do no quote on me.

    Thank you.

    Hi to all who have filed and are going to file

    could you please guide us wheather we should send all the paper i.e. EAD + Ap to Nebraska address or EAD to Chicago address ?

    my and my wife medical was done in august last year .. will that be valid , i have read somewhere that it is valid till 1 year .. is that true .

    Is there any form for Finger printing ..

    please reply

    Thanks

    I would go for medical test again just because of PPD test. According my civil surgeons office, PPD test should be with in 6 month when u file 485 otherwise you may get rfe for fresh ppd. Seems these days CIS is very particular about TB test.

    if one is taunting , " Look FBI bosses , i am stuck in security check, still i am a working with my H1B/EAD . How dare you allow to people remain here - for many years - if you suspect something is fishy with their record "

    That's not correct. FBI cannot deny somebody a visa JUST BECAUSE they cannot do their job in a TIMELY FASHION. Law states that "YOU ARE GUILTY ONLY WHEN ITS PROVEN"

    Also, Please keep in mind there are over 12 MILLION ILLEGALS WITH NO RECORD!

    I hope it helps.

    I have an appointment at Kolkata on the 11th. Scheduled to fly back to US on the 26th. Considering Martin Luther king Jr day it will be 9 working days. After seeing the PIMS delays, I am seriously considering return back on AP. Cannot take the risk of delaying the flight as I dont have vacations to hang around and wait for PP.

    Dear Smisachu/ and others:
    I was also planning to go to Kolkata this summer to extend my H1B for another 3 years. Now, I am so scared reading all about the PIMS verification; delay of issuing visas; and returning passports. I am also sacred because I did not apply for any AP because at the time of applying for my 485 my H1B was valid (in fact it is valid till July 08).
    So, what would you guys advise me to do:
    (1) Go to Kolkata (with my 485 receipt notice, original) and return before my
    current H1B expires in July 08? Or, (2) apply for an AP (it is my understanding that AP is rejected by USCIS if someone has a valid H1B)? Please advise. Thanks.
