I must agree - both are important..it is just each one of us have different cases and circumstances
that It might be important for OP but you should considerate about others you should not say that every body elses problem is nothing in-front of OP's problem ."Injustice" word sound like that.
as somebody said earlier abount OP tha it sounds selfish and mean.
When NSC people were getting Receipt and TSC were waiting , no body said ."Injustice" word .
So when it is not affecting you it 's fair.....But somebody else gets that you cry foul play ....Be considerate about others
Personally I wish all (NSC ,TSC , Carlifornia , Vermont ) filers should get there receipt , EAD and AP as well as Final GC as soon as possible

Optimystic -- is your PD current?
yes
IF you have a current PD RIGHT NOW...AND submitted your I-485 on or before June-July 2007... AND have an approved I-140
I-485 submitted in last week of July 07. I 140 filed in premium processing and approved in Jan 07.
(i) they are sweeping through all the files to find such files because if you filed your application in June-July 2007, 180 days have likely passed since your name check was submitted to the FBI. Name check request are made within weeks of generating a receipt for you.
(ii) they plan to complete this sweep by March 10; UNLESS visas run out, they plan to process such cases in approx 60 days (hah! like I believe them).
(iii) within the set of applications with current PDs, they apparently process in order of RD. Not sure if this is within the EB preference and current PD or across all EB preferences.
If what you say holds true then thats good news for me personally! But I would be curious on the process used by USCIS to dig out all applications that have current PD in march, and then sort them based on application receipt date and process all these within 60 days. I am hoping (or rather praying !) that the fact that they have entered our data into computers allows them to apply some simple sorting logic to CORRECTLY arrive at a subset of qualified cases to be opened up come 1st of March. Now the geographical distribution of cases across service centers, the huge mess during the July fiasco, and cases of people still waiting for their FP appts even now, doesn't give you too much confidence in their systems and processes. But, hey, guess I might be getting too pessimistic here and going against the spirit of own handle name :). Waited for 7 years. Whats couple more months or even a bit longer for that matter !
(iv) Some cases are approved without any changes in LUD i.e. that amazing email arrives before without any prior LUD changes.
IF you don't have a current PD, I have nothing to say except best of luck to all of us...the situation is pretty grim. The movement of EB-3 ROW will mop up most of the green cards left this year.
Thanks much for your insights.

you should be fine....doctor will just mention that you need to get one more shot....
Guys,
Thanks a lot for the response.
I was finally able to get a doctors appointment on July 24th.
Now comes the tricky part:
Is the varicella vaccine required ? I have not had chicken pox as a child. The blood work showed that I need a chicken pox vaccine.
I went to the county health department today , and they gave me shots for tetanus, MMR, PPD, and one shot for varicella. They said that I have to come back in 30 days for another shot of varicella.
I am not sure what my doctor will say to this when I meet him on July 24th. Also, is it possible for the doctor to provide an I-693 with a statement that the varicella shot will be completed later ?

I am on a similar situation. Approved on Aug 3rd. Got a approval notice I-485 in post. Called USCIS and they mentioned to wait till Sep 3rd and if I do not get the card to call back after sep 3rd.
Let's wait for another 3 days and will update what happens.

You are making an assumption that an approved petition is an indication of a valid status for the entire duration of extension. This may or may not be true after the I-140 is revoked.
It is kind of dicey...If you are quick enough you can pull it off...
You can refer to some posts up above that some people have actually done it..
Especially if you are laid off you have not much to lose and try something ...
USCIS has traditionally not taken a hard line against H1B as far as I know...

The following is an exactly parallel strategy for us. I just copied the lines.
1. Obtain a Schedule A retrogression amendment (anywhere from 15,000 - 90,000 visas) in the Spring.
2. Push for a permanent Schedule A retrogression amendment (Brownback amendment) whenever Congress considers Comprehensive Immigration Reform.
The concerns are
1. How to chose the numbers 15,000 - 90,000? We may need much larger numbers.
2. How the 15,000 - 90,000 visas should be divided for different countries and categories?

For 3-9 years, it is a good news.
For 10 and 10+ years, this is already laws in place in terms Social Security benefits. Hope that this does not worsen. Presently, retirement and some other benefits are available to foreign nationals such as India, if 40 points are accumulated.
Let us say I accumulate 40 points and return to India for good. Do I still get Social Security in India if -
1. I am a US Citizen living in India?
2. If I am a GC holder living in India?
3. I am neither a US citizen nor a GC holder living in India?
Any helpful links are appreciated. I have tried to calculate benefits using Social Security benefits calculator, but if you key in residence outside USA and non-citizen, it does not work...

Thanks
meaning you are also planning to marry a US citizen....nothing wrong
This trend will accelerate more in years to come.
When i first came in 1999 marrying us citizen was sort of heard of by IT folks.
by 2003 i was coming across so many cases of marrying us citizen.
among non indians its very common resulting in their PD being more recent.
In fact my friends who went for marrying citizen ...are way better placed in life.
It become so hard to marry from india now with contract jobs lasting short time and salary being so low after cut form h1b vendors. eventually teh pain will reach the point of yield.

I somhow feel that Name Check problem has not been taken care of within its entirety. I agree with one thing that NC will be "improved" but has not been and will never be streamlined the way actually it should be.
Reference:
http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/fil...Procedures.pdf
I may be wrong but my doubts are as under:
------------------------------------------
(1)180 days period is from the "Date of FBI Name Check initiation. It is not
from 485 receipt date. Nobody knows when USCIS will initiate FBI Name
Check. So I see a big playground for USCIS to play if it decides to play.
What if uSCIS sends FBI name check initiation after 2 years of 485 receipt?
Do we have a way to know or keep an eye on USCIS about this? At least I
do not know and if somebody has the information please share it.
(2) "If 485 Otherwise is processable" then USCIS can go ahead without
waiting for NC check... What if USCIS decides to keep 100000 cases on
rack eating dust just by not moving the processing date for particular
service center? This you can see right now.. USCIS is making Texas slow
day by day not moving processing date. I remember Texas was ahead
with comparison to Nebraska around May to August 2007. If this happens your case is no more "processable".. Yes you can say that you are not stuck in NC queue but you will be stuck. USCIS may come up with altogether different startegy... To align processing times with FBI processing and FBI NC initiation. That may screw the things further.
Expert or differed opinions please?
Though this can be the case but this is relief to those who have been stuck in NC for years ,so in that retrospect six months is far far better . I think many people can see the things to their interpretation , my take is that you never get everything right on the first time, u revisit and make changes and correct special situations that were not taken care of intially. It is a start atleast now we dont have poeple who are waiting in NC for years and asking about WOM.

Nikon put itself "On The Ropes", by not paying attention to what the market wants. Canon have consistently caught them with their pants down with the D60, 300D and the mkII. Very kind of Canon to leave Nikon anywhere near 30% of the table scraps. who says the blokes at Canon don't have a heart?
I think they may make a strong fight back with the D70, that looks like a lot of camera for a great price.

well..I have been waiting for my labor certifcation to get certfied for too long. just after Sep 11 I applied both for US GC and Canadian PR. My wife also applied for her GC. meanwhile her GC moved to regional when suddenly DOL thought it was time to regroup and there it went into BPC. In the meantime we got canadian PR some 2 years ago but we did not move thinking that we have jobs here.Then she got pregnant and lot of complications ( premature labor) and during those complications her company got acquired by another bigger firm who thought they don't need her..and result was job loss plus GC into the trash....meanwhile my labor certification even after 5 years was still sleeping in EB3 category(PD Oct, 2001) when i still have Masters( god knows why my lawyer put into that category)..Now my canadian PR was set to expire in march, 2007..so I thought i should decide fast..and i applied for jobs..and I got offer in vancouver with moving expenses paid from califronia..It has been the toughest decision because my employer is Indian here in california..and I have had good growth(10% average) but not the way I had wanted..I guess he also exploits..Indian exploiting another Indian..because they know I am not going anywhere..plus we work hard.. I asked him to match what was being offered in vancouver..and he started converting CAD into USD..well..it is not fair..So I have decided to heck with US and the Employer..and move on...at least I can come back..it is not an easy move because my son being premature child had lot of free facilities in california..hopefully he will get the same in Vancouver until he gets to 3 years ..and then it stops..
I have been in this country too long..and I guess one should settle down rather just wait for them to give GC...reading the other post about one lady whose EAD card got expired just tells me that how inconsistent this GC process can be and right until the end...
Anyway that is all for now

I guess when it comes to GC processing, NOTHING is really "wrong" is it? If you get a chance to work around and beat the long lines, I guess "It's all good". Some people are lucky that they get a chance to get Labor Sub, some ppl marry the GC and some ppl like the rest of us wait in line like "honest citizens".
The REAL question is, just how many of us would have refused a good labour sub, given the present conditions, solely on the basis that "it is unfair to others"? I know i would have taken it. Reason? It's LEGAL (or used to be). Our "misfortune" (if i can use that word), is that we did not get a similar chance.
For those wondering, what I am babbling about: "Let's not look down on this guy who got his GC approved by Labour Sub, or even continuously point out that he did."
Positive way of looking at things..

Agree with genscn. Actually, if your wife is not working on-campus, then she doesn't even have to show her EAD. Just send your I-485 receipt copy which proves that she is here under AOS status in which case she can study anywhere she wants and take as many credit hours she wants without being out of status.
Just let the school know that your wife doesn't need to be in F1 status anymore. Let them report whatever they want to the INS.

This is why I said 221G is a good initiative. Even if people have to suffer a little bit, full check is needed for every visa stamping and every green card application.
221g is become a unwritten norm in India, sort of like putting roadblocks. The whole visa system was based on "Honor" system but cheating became rampant. Thus the unfortunate need to use unusual measures like 221g
There was a time when marriage to US citizens for GC was used and abused like anything and some US citizen made it their profession (still happens now but lot lesser). Then in 1986 they added a 2 year wait period for GC permanency for GC based on marriage to USC and whole bunch of penalty rules for abuse. They are talking of introducing this even for Canada now (with conservative majority might happen)
