    graduating in December 2007 with BSN

    Most likely you will not be able to apply for your green card in December. Apply for OPT before graduation and start looking for a job now. If you have BSN there is a chance to get H-1B visa through your employer. You need to apply for VisaScreen ASAP after graduation. You don't need to take TOEFL.

    485 Rfe Pd 2003

    Could you post more info on your immigration situation? When did you enter the US? In what status? What was your last non-immigrant status before you filed I-485? Why do you think they ask about your COMPLETE employment history in the US? Did you include your employment history in form G-325A?

    Do you know why they requested your i-787? Did they request paystubs or w-2 from previous employers?

    There are no miracles, especially in the immigration process. There is a set of laws, rules, regulations, and formal process that you have to go through. Those procedures are well written out. And you can find all the information you need on the Internet.
