From your friends example, if he/she has an ND of 9/27 and has eac 99-273, how can someone whose Nd is 2 days later have the same eac?
Don\'t you find it interesting that long time netizens, like yourself, who have been posting here consistently for so long don\'t have any info to post about approvals or FP, while characters like shridevi, who have never posted before start getting approvals, even when their PD is not current?
If you\'d like to know how strict INS is about not approving cases for which PD is not current, check the case for lallisri on the isn board. He applied sometime (i think dec99) when eb3 PD were current for all. After the PD retrogressed, his date wasn\'t current. About 3months back he got a letter from INS saying that his 485 was being revoked, since he applied when the PD was not current. He spent 2months in hell, trying to get his application reinstated. INS finally realized their mistake and CSC has accepted his 485.
Just like this error by CSC in case of lallisri, there will be errors where eb3 cases get approved (and possibly charged to eb2) and there will be eb2 cases which get wrongly classified as eb3. The adjudicating officers are prone to human errors, once in a while.
Moral of the story, it is better not to get too excited by postings like the one made by shridevi. Remember there is no accountability on these message boards, and take such postings with a pinch of salt.
