Thanks Eternal_Labor
Hi Eternal_Labor,
Thanks a lot for clarifying - I guess the wait is longer than I thought!
One more thing...if the quota is reached for visa numbers, will my 485 be rejected? In such cases, does the whole application become void...or will my 485 be held in abeyance as my lawyer had filed prior to Dec 30th 2004...
Thanks again...Roni

From what I understand, your I-140 should get approved when the processing date reaches your ND, but you will have to wait for the approval of I-485 till the published PD reaches your PD. The PD for EB3 is published in the monthly Visa Bulletin of Dept. of State. See below:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_1360.html
Click on Current Bulletin
The PD for EB3 applicants from India, China & Philippines is 01JAN02. So when it goes beyond Feb 22, 2002 (your PD), your I-485 will be processed/approved.
Hope this helps !!!
All the very best for your 140 !!!
