Congrats Man! Enjoy!!

Some reason, I have seen lot of 2005 PD approvals.... not 1999-2003.

Pichli Janam mein... Hum Bagavaan ko pathar see pooja kare hogaa.......:eek:
 
narnia2000 , theory is , uscis assigned July ( remeber July was all current ) visa number to lots of eb2 an eb3 cases and they are approving the those cases. uscis would approve these cases till sept. After Sept again approval would be as per VB.

You are 100% correct....i never bothered about my green card until recently...but when we saw approvals after our own PD then....what the hell is going on????...did any one take responsibility of this whole mess up......No NOOOOOOOOOOO.............nothing against approved candidates.............remainds me....they never improve processsssss......
 
totally not fair.so many old pd's still waiting,though sept visa bulliten is current for many of us under eb-2 category with pd's upto 2004,how cum 2007 and 2005 pd's are getting approved?this preadjudiactions stuff is crap.i think they are just approving randomly who's ever case is ready for approval.

once new cases processing starts they will again give away randomly and say preadjudicated.
 
Thanks LaborBadhi, StillAlive, apu99 and magic_mail.

I am sure all guys waiting will get the magic mail soon.

NOTE : For individuals who have concerns about participating in this event, we at the Murthy Law Firm would like to allay some of those fears. The right to gather peacefully is guaranteed by the First Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, in the Bill of Rights. It specifically allows peaceful demonstrations and the freedom to gather as a measure to address injustice. It states, in relevant part, that "Congress shall make no law … abridging … the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the government for a redress of grievances." [See http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/...cs/billeng.htm for the full text of the Bill of Rights. The U.S. Constitution, in its totality, is available at http://usinfo.state.gov/usa/infousa/...consteng.htm.]

Question 1. What is First Amendment? Does it apply to me? I'm on H-1 / H-4 / EAD / and have applied for I-485, etc.
Constitutional rights of an individual are applicable to everyone, including foreign nationals.

Question 2. Will I get arrested and/or deported for participating in the rally?
No, participating in rally with proper permits from city police and other authorities is legal. You cannot be arrested or deported for simply participating in the rally.

Question 3. Will participation in the rally negatively impact my current nonimmigrant status or future green card application?
No, exercising your civil rights does not impact your nonimmigrant status or future green card application. There are certain procedures and processes for rejecting or denying petitions and applications, it is not done on whims and moods of agencies or USCIS employees. There is a process driven by federal regulations and rejections and denials are backed up by reasons described in federal regulations and the laws. Participating in rallies, meeting with your lawmakers, exercising your civic duties, and enjoying your civil rights granted by the Constitution are not grounds for denial or rejection of petitions and applications or any other adverse action on immigration petition or application.

Question 4. Can my employer take action against me for participating in the rally? Do we have any obligation to inform my employer if I participate by taking a day off?
No, an employer cannot simply take action against you for having exercised your Constitutional right granted by the first amendment. Whether you inform your employer about your plans for your vacation or day off is up to you and your relationship with your employer. Usually employers do not care what their employee do with their time off from work, as long as those activities are legal.

Question 5. What kind of identification do I need to carry? Will my driver's license be enough?
Yes. Your driver's license or a state-issued identification card is enough for ID purposes.
