Okay guyz, I did an little excercise, just to give myself some ray of hope, it works better after three beers on late weekend nights
, so I have my 485 case# as EAC05256xxxx5, I start entering plus one till next 100 number in USCIS case status online, I tried minus one till previous hundred numbers, I found out only couple of 485 cases and most of them either waiting or RFE, I assume those couple of 485 cases before and after me should be in same state as mine.Just an feel good factor, if you have time

Hmmm, one could quite easily write a bot to go much deeper than that a lot quicker, although the usefulness would be very limiited since the response web page doesn't have important factors such as nationality, category etc. Not that I'm suggesting that anyone should do that of course, quite the opposite!

They have robot protection, here's the message i got after about 200 pokes. I only found five i485 cases, only one of which was approved, the rest in the same state as mine, i.e. waiting.

You are right about nationality, category etc, I believe all these factor doesnt matter if your dates is current, right?
Well, what I did is note down all those couple of 485 I found close to my 485 case number and keep on checking 'em alongwith mine

From their message it looks like they're tracking usage by the request's IP address, not by using a browser cookie.
Anyway, I recommend you to not track those EACs. If you bother to read the Usage Agreement they make you accept when you register on the site, you'll see the language saying that it's illegal to knowingly track other people's files and one may be prosecuted if one does so. By tying those EACs to your account you're making yourself liable.

I have the I-140 approved, I-485 Filed Date: 12/20/2004,
Hi friend, probably you could help me,
My I-485 was submitted in dec 12th, 2004, more than 18 months.
I have received an information the company wants to put me back in my country but my family is not happy with this.
I found a company who offered me to sponsor while the green card be received as it is just around the corner (I guess another 10 more months). My question is, this company will pay less money than the first one, and the job will be quite different as it was when the Department of Labour approved my I-140, with my current employer, I was described as an expert in telecommunication field. And the offer I have now is as a manager with staff under my care and budget management, as I have a MBA
Do you know if the current company has the right to stop my Green Card process ?
It is possible if I have other employer who could corroborate I am with them ?
Do I need to get an attorney writing a letter for the INS to inform I am with a new employer, with an earning of...and doing other job as IT management ?
I need to take a decision if going back with my current employer or accept the new sponsor, as I am not sure If USCIS will grant I will receive my Green Card.
How I could give continuity to my GC process and then to be ready to show proof to the guberment if they ask me to show proof that I have an full-time employment ? It is necessary to hire an attorney for this ?
This is the response received from the Company attorney:
Hi Enrique: if your US employment with Equant should terminate and you
found another full-time, permanent job in the United States in a similar
occupational classification, then you could continue with the current green
card process. You would not need to take any immediate steps, except that
if the government calls you in for an interview or sends you a letter for
proof that you still have a US job offer, then you would need to provide
proof that you have secured full-time employment.
Do you how to understand that ?
Here below is the status I have form my process.
03/11/2005 - I-140:16. Received I-140 Approval Notice
01/25/2005 - I-765:06. Received I-765 Approval Notice from USCIS

12/20/2004 - AOS:105. I-140, I485, I-765 and I-131 filed with USCIS for foreign national and family
I really need to take a decision based in the information I receive, and if you advise me to go with an attorney, I will do it, but it is really necessary considering where I am with GC process ?
Thank a lot for all your help in this matter
Sincerely Enrique

I just noticed an LUD update on my 485 on 8/19. Lets see if there is more activity beyond it. Msg did not change yet. Maybe its part of pre-adjudication, maybe new FP notice, maybe RFE...who knows. I hope its something non-negative. Thats all.

Any approvals while PD not current?
According to the November 2006 Visa Bulletin Schedule A has retrogressed to August 2005. It was current when I filed I-140/1-485/EAD/AP.
USCIS told me that the application will continue to be processed because I'd submitted it while it was still current. I'd like to learn from the experience of folks who applied last year before the retrogression hit. Are there any I-485 approvals even though PD is not current?
In the case of Schedule A, there are no more numbers to be had, so Schedule A will be history come December. According to the customer service at USCIS, a number has already been assigned to my app from the 50k pool so it will continue to be processed. Can I rely on this?
thanks for reading my post. Any guidance?

Finger Prints
I gave my finger prints in October 2005. I have not received any finger print requests this year. I heard we have to go for finger printer every year? Is that right? Do I have to call them and set up an appointment?
mine is EB2, Dec 2003 is the priority date. I140 is approved.
