Congrats to all recent approvals!
Hi everyone,
First congrats to all recent approval.
Second, there used to be a very nice and useful spreadsheet in this thread, but I scrolled a few pages back and couldn't find it. Is it not being updated anymore? Was it moved to another thread?
Thanks.

is it just me....
First things first, Congrats to all the new proud "approved 485" parents.
Well today is a dull day for me. First of all I am trying to figure out the working pattern at VSC but no luck so far, only guesses.
Secondly, I dont see any approvals for EB3 guys that have ND in last couple of months of 2004.
I did my FP on 3/25 but I dont think that my approval will follow soon even though we see so many of them getting approved who have done their FP around Mar 22-23. (Though there is a floating theory that approvals are being distributed based on FP date)
I dont see anybody getting an approval with Oct 27 ND as mine. The latest approval in EB3 has a ND of Aug2004.
Besides EB3 approvals seem to be very few compared to Eb2. I hardly see any EB3 approvals . So far there have been 2 or 3 only. Check out the xls file and there are so few EB3 approved cases.
Have you (EB3 guys) noticed that??
Well is it just me or anybody else is also feeling sad becoz of the uncertainity.
I would like to blame it on the weatherman that delivered such a gloomy forecast.
p.s.: i see the patience escaping out of the back door.

Did you get any LUDs with one message change - saying they have received your response?
They state very clearly that you can follow-up if there is no acknowledgement even that they received response, after 30 days.
Hope everything works out for you.

Always keep in mind, the following play important role:
1- PD (Original Beneficiary/Substitute)
2- RD/ND
3- Petitioner
4- Category (EB1/EB2/EB3)
5- Country of birth
6- FP Process (Code2, Code 1, Code3)
7- Completness of application
8- Distribution/workload of cases to adjudicators
9- Coordination/Workload on associated branches
10- Workload on operation staff and speed
11- LUCK
12- USCIS knws better
Do'nt believe in XSL-SHEET. It is only guess workwastage of time. I am sure everyone will get approval (6 month is target of USCIS, they will prove it to get more budget allocation).
Keep your mind fresh just adding 4-8 weeks in your FP received date....
Still in process, #11 will bring it soon.

HI assur,
What do you mean by #3- Petitioner? I didnot understand. Is it Primary/secondary?
Also in my opinion, # 11 in your list should be almost at the top of the list. Hope #11 matches for everyone no matter the remaining order..
Goodluck!

any chance for I-485 approval before May 17
Hello everyone,
I will be out of the country from May 11 - June 7. Is there any chance that my I-485 will be approved before May 11 or during the time I am away?
I am currently on H-1B visa. Suppose it is approved during 5/11-6/7, will I have a problem to enter the country with H1-B visa?
Does anyone have any experience or maybe some advice? Thanks!

JK and seniors - Please throw some light on Visa usage
My understanding of Visa number usage and recapture is
1. Out of the available visa for a year, each quater is alotted 27%. According to DOS they say for FY2005 , first 3 quarters used them.
http://www.immigration.com/fromtheagency/doseb1.html
I suppose the unused visa of other countries can be used by enacting a law. That is what they are proposing now to use the ones for the years 2001-2004
2. The previoulsy enacted law i.e AC21 recaptured visa's of which only 30000 was used in 2003. The remaining, according to DOS is to be used in 2005
I am confused about this remaining visa usage. are they already started using this or they going to use it in the final quarter?
If they had already started, then we might have to wait until the new law is passed to recapture visa for the year 2001-2004. If the unused Visa's from Ac21 are to be used in the final quarter, then the PD's should move atleast by a year or 2
Thanks

upandwaiting,
You should be ok if you have a valid visa ( H1) stamped in your passport when you come back, even if your 485 gets approved. I have seen lot of people come in on h1 visa even though the 485 got approved when they were out of country. I am not sure how easy it would be to get a AP before you travel but that would be safest bet.

In my case they applied for EAD in Nov 2004 along with 140 and 485. 140 approved. after 3 months I took a intrim EAD. Still website of UCIS shows still EAD pending. Don't know whats going on. After 4 and half months I got Travel Document approved for one year.
I would say apply it as earily as possible. Atleast you can get the intrim EAD after 3 months.

Hi,
I would like to know about the EAD ext filing electronically, also. I will go through forum threads over the weekend and try to find out.
A small tip on filing AP (I-131), somewhere it will ask the intended date of travel, try to put some date in near future, some one told me they will approve based on that, and thats how we also got it.
If your I-140 gets approved, you are also ready for I-485 approval, so goodluck.
If you find the EAD filing info , can you post or send that in pm?
Thanks.
