techy2468 said:no...he is from india.....but I-485 approval is not dependent on retrogression.....visa number is......so i think he will have to wait to get GC till his PD becomes current..

vsaksena said:I had a similar (well sorta) experience today
I had my AOS interview at Manchester, NH field office today. Due to certain pecuiliarities in my case, the adjudicating officer needed a "concurrence" from his supervisor (basically that is a sign-off from the head honcho of the office, based on reccomendation to approve from the adjudicating officer - Per the adjudicating officer)
Acording to the officer, it is just a formaility, but unfortunately the supervisor was away to the Boston District Office today, returning tommorow.... He said my case WILL be approved tommorow when she returns, and I should get an approval notice in the mail no later than next week, and that my wife & I will have to come to Manchester to get our passports stamped. He took away our I-94s, EAD cards (except the most recent ones) and told us to hang on to them till next week, after which we would not need them anyways....
Ofcourse I did not raise the question of EB2 Visa cutoff dates.... but the officer just sounded VERY affirmative that we would get our passports stamped next week
What do the forum members think of that?
Opinions/Viewpoints Please
indio0617 said:I am confused ??? Does'nt I-485 approval mean that your GC is approved with the stamp on the passport. The actual physical Green card then comes in the mail.
What are you all talking about ? If you have the AOS interview does,nt it imply that your PD is actually current i.e. visa number is available for processing?
Please clarify.....
deepdip said:local office where my case got transferred last year - EB2 PD Sep 2000 (current cutoff is July 2000 I think) - she took fingerprints, kept I-94 and said I need to wait for visa number to become current before passport can be stamped.
In any case nothing happens till Jan because the current cutoff does apply till all of December - hopefully you guys' experience does suggest that the new visa bulletin will show some movement for EB2.

This is interesting! EB2 may progress sooner than all projections! Hopefully, it will all be a moot point anyway, given the provisions from S.1932 (the original one).

As a matter of fact, my file was transferred to Boston & from there to Manchester from VSC in the last week of Sept, and my interview notice was sent AFTER retrogression happened (Oct 27th); I am just trying to make some sense of the madness that is USCIS....
what would make the officer say that my case would be approved tommorow? (just an error?)
