Nato jumped me but most people can guess the country of origin from one's writing. Most non native speakers of English tend to have some give aways. In your case:
".....I submit one for me but.." was the give away:)
For Indians, one can some times make out the writer's home state or region...
I don't expect your PD to be current any time soon. At the moment a bill passed by the senate (and in the house now) allows for 485 filing even during retrogression for EB cases like yours. So in all likelyhood you will know this week if 485 can be filed prior to removal of retrogression.
I think the benefit of this bill to current 485 waiters is minimal. The main benefit is to people who can not file 485 due to retrogression. The house version does not have many of the immigration benefits passed by the senate.
Having a visa does not entitle one to being admitted. She could be denied entry at POE if the office determines that she has immigrant intention - filing of I-130 automatically infers that.
In regard to 2, spouse/kids if filed prior to GC are treated as employment green card derivative benefitiary. If after green card then family quota for which date is not current. However, McCain is expected to bring a bill which will give green card holders the same rights as US citizen for...
In your case there is a limitation on the visas. Since the date is not current (look up dos bulletin) 485 can be filed only when the date is current. She will need to maintain independent status until her GC is approved. She would need visitor visa to enter the US but he visitor visa could be...
485 is filed only when the benefitiary is IN the US. If they are not YET in the US even filing I-130 may jeoperdize their visitor visa which is predicated on showing no immigrant intention. You should file I-130 only after they arrive in the US. Both 130/485 to be filed same time. There are no...
Clinton administration legislated that new immigrants can't receive any federal funding (including buying medicare) for 5 years. A good option if you can afford is to buy health insurance. A friend of mine in MN bought BCBS insurance with a large deductible $5k. At least it won't bankrupt him.

TITLE VIII--COMMITTEE ON THE JUDICIARY
SEC. 8001. RECAPTURE OF UNUSED VISA NUMBERS.
SEC. 8002. FEES WITH RESPECT TO IMMIGRATION SERVICES FOR INTRACOMPANY TRANSFEREES.
I too was told the same by my lawyer. I changed my lawyer and filed AC-21. I too would err on the side of caution. The act does not expressly require filing but there is no harm in being proactive - at best it might save time in replying for an RFE. At worst wasted time. Definitely no harm in...

A couple of bills are in the house/senate - (S. 1932 ) Do you know if any of the bills allow PR to sponsor spouse with no waiting period (imediate availability of visa)?
Well, hopefully when immigrants under retrogression now become become citizens and get to vote will remember how the democrats only talk about helping immigrants but in reality it is the republicans who support free trade and increased mobility of skilled labor. The unions and democrats never...
let us do something to help ourselves
I did it too. It does not take more than 1 minute - a standard prepared letter goes out to the representative and senators in our area/state.
If we can't be bothered to help ourselves no one will. Taking action - especially in the capacity of employer...
