Hello all friends,
Been waiting for long time (cant say long long time as I know some people here waiting for years). On July 30th USCIS sent the notice welcoming the new permanent resident for me and my wife. I did all steps of GC through attorney.
Thanks for moral support and knowledge that I got through this site and all friends here. Wish u all good luck.

Thank you and enjoy your day.

Congrats EB1_OR1,
Its very encouraging to see approvals for the 485 applied in 09/2006 for EB1. My 485 was also filed around the same time, but the 140 just approved so was wondering;)

I guess you will hear soon. Have you done u r finger-prints (code-3)?
Now I am understanding their processing style
First they send "welcome notice"
same day afternoon "card production ordered"
Today 8/2 "Approval notice sent"
What does mean by welcome notice? what is the difference between approval notice and welcome notice????
Any way all this means looks like I should relax now :D

no.
There is now going to be a big backlog of I485 applications from everyone and thus a big delay even for EB1. Do not hope anything coming out for the next 9 months at least if you filed 485 in JUly.

So meant to say the EB1 for all countries (or for India) is going to retrogress very heavily. I feel like no one can predict at this time. I think you assumed based on July-Aug filings, these people still have to go through their I-140s approved before they will be issued GCs, if they do not have already approved i-140.

Pswami: see rkottani has already approved I-140 so it wouldn't take until next june to get his/her GC unless name check stuck.
 
FP notice

Hi:

I understand that there are THREE codes for FP. I think most of them have to do Code -3 or it is decided by USCIS.

thanks in advance
 
I don't think EB1 would be retrogressed heavily as it had been current for about 9-10 months before the june-july fiasco. So there should not have been a huge amount of submissions of I-485 from EB1 applicants. It is currently slightly retrogressed as unused EB1 visa numbers are given to EB2. But again, these are all assumptions and nobody can predict what's going to happen. I guess, gotta wait another month for the Oct VB.
