Are you or your spouse US citizens? If neither of you is, you will not be able to get OCI for your minor child. I don't think you need the original passport but you need a photocopy which means you will have to wait until you get her passport. Below is a link giving you more information on OCI...

This was the order of our emails: Card production ordered Approval notice sent Card mailed

Thanks Chatterjee1! Banta4gc: I don't take these things personally and I was hoping others wouldn't either. I understand the frustration and helplessness people feel. I also 'get it' that these fora are their only outlets. While that may be the case, what is not justified is their...

Oh, and about Ravinka: If I remember right, once they have their I485 in, Schedule A cases can double-dip (special quota and regular eb3) for visa numbers. So no mystery there. I don't mean to say whatever the USCIS is doing now is not irregular, but I would hope there is a rational basis for...

Techy2468: I was approved with a JULY VISA NUMBER in July when my PD is current. Read my analysis here: http://www.immigrationportal.com/showpost.php?p=1716172&postcount=3 I'm still waiting for clarification on your (and Gravitation's) position that June Visa Bulletin is relevant now...

Sorry, but this is getting really tiresome. The only role I see for 'Luck' in the whole process is this: Some people (apparently randomly) do not cross the event-horizon of FBI name checks, and consequently get pre-adjudicated quicker than the others. I believe, based on good evidence...

I mean this in the best way possible, please don't mistake me: No sh*t Sherlock!

Gravitation: Ok I'll bite. Was there a 'June Bulletin' issued by the USCIS? Could you be referring to their 'Employer Information bulletin'? In which case, please provide a link to it and accept my apologies. Otherwise, how is the June Bulletin (I presume the June 2007 visa bulletin which...

June Bulletin??? What have you been smoking?

I want to say it is visa number assignment at application time instead of approval time, but I don't expect that before all pending applications are processed. Almost anything else meaningful (like EAD and AP for all retrogressed) requires an act of congress (Literally)!

Don't mean to be snappy, but by Zeus! Life did not start with the July 2007 Bulletin. EB2 India was current for a long time until Oct 2005. Retrogression only hit EB2 (in the last round) starting Oct 1 2005. Here are the VB archives: http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1770.html

No need to apologize. Here's what you are missing: My PD became current again on July 1st 2007. My I485 application was filed on Sep 29 2005 when my PD was current.

No offense taken. I would be bemused too, if I didn't understand the process. I don't think many people understand that visa allocations for documentarily-qualified applications are actually made at the time a bulletin is released. And even otherwise, if they worked on July 1st, my PD WAS...

I agreee, and that leads me to believe that there will inevitably be: 1. Visa numbers wasted, and/or 2. A limited-availability bulletin for August or, more likely, September 2007 (In which case per-country limits would still not apply, and that is a whole other situation the USCIS/DOS would...

You may be right, and there may be other huge holes in my layman's analysis, but it is too early to say that most approvals occured in June. One point of information to support your speculation is that the Ombudsman said in an e-mail response to someone (posted in one of the threads here) that...

Jackolantern: Here's my commentary on your points: 1. I think a large majority of July approvals will be those who were reported as documentarily-qualified for the purposes of the July Bulletin. Only a very small minority of July approvals will be those whose dates were current in July...

CAUSA: No, no LUDs except 10/04/2006 for address change and then yesterday with "card production ordered". greatgc: We are not a transfer case. I would suggest you take an infopass or you ask the TSC IIO to look your case up with your A-numbers instead of the receipt numbers. My suspicion...

KS_CC: It looks like you got the same friendly IIO that I did on 07/05/2007. She told me my application was pre-adjudicated and everything looked good, but no visas were available at least until October 2007. She may not have been lying intentionally, but SHE WAS WRONG!! I had an infopass...

We got our 'Card Production Ordered' messages last night. :) So it looks like atleast some of my analysis was right. All the best to everybody!
