I got an update via CRIS
UPDATE: On August 5, 2008, we transferred this case to our NORFOLK, VA location for additional processing.
My current status: My case was filed as EB2 and the PD is Mar2006, so I am current for another 6 days (Oct 2006 is retrogressing to 2003).
I have talked to several of my friends and they said this update means an interview is in the works.
Do you guys agree?
If so, I had questions based on that. Me and my wife were planning to travel to India this December.
1) Will I still be getting an interview since my case is not going to be current starting OCT 2008?
2) In case we should expect an interview, should we wait till we finish the interview?
Any input would be appreciated.

Stop whining and move on with life. There is still a long way to go.
One worthless post!!!
Thank you for your information.I hope you know the situation right now in USA.In jan 2010 H1 people came to Newark Airport were asked to form in a separate queue as soon as they get down from the flight for two levels of interview.Some of them are sent back.Now you can't find employer to transfer your H1 immediately.Before two years it was possible to transfer H1 with out having recent pay stubs and they never asked client letter.Now if you don't have a job you can't transfer your H1 to anybody.
Before Sep 2009 it was two minutes time to take LCA. Now it takes 1 week time to approve LCA. We never heard about Employer-Employee relationship before 2010.

Why do you need a new lawyer? You don't need any lawyer now for that matter, but the lawyer who filed your I-485 should not have any problem in continuing to represent you even if your last employer paid your GC processing fees. If you signed G-28, which most likely you did, your lawyer established relationship with you to represent you.
Infact today is my 2nd day at my new job. I have decided not to inform USCIS. And I am in process of hiring a new lawyer , since my previous company paid for my GC , the company lawyer asked me to go with different lawyer for all my future needs.
I will hire a lawyer and plan to file G28 form in this month.

Please consult with an immigration attorney, to make sure your stay is legal. if your i-94 expired, unless you get the revised I-94 with the valid dates, your stay is illegal. If it is more than 180 days, then you are in deep trouble. Consult with an attorney and prepare to leave.....

When I was hired last spring, I was not told about GC retrogression by my employer. I beleive they should have explained in graphic detail and if they done so I would not have left a good job and my home in Canada to move to an American nightmare.
I recently discovered that I have at least a 5 year wait as an EB-3. My teenage daughter will be too old to get a green card as a dependent and my wife is seriously depressed about not being allowed to work.
How many other people are as P-Oed as I am and is there a class action suit here?
Sorry to hear you didnt get the correct picture before joing the American Dream. Read information on IV Home page more about retro. IV team is working on these issues and hopefully you may get the GC sooner than 5 years.

Given a choice (with comparable role and growth) I will be more inclined to spend few years (~5) in Europe, post MBA.
Was just trying to make sure if there was a easier way to maintain my GC, at the same time complete my studies in parallel.
Per all your suggestions, there are ways to walk that tightrope, but its not very straight forward...Also I am not looking into deferring my studies for a year..
Will go ahead with resignation...
Thanks again for all sincere advise and wishes.

I really empathize with your frustration! In fact, I'm also in the same boat.
My EAD renewal was filed on May 18th, and the RFE was issued on June 25th. I've not received the RFE yet, and I was told to wait for 15 days. Also, the CS Rep told me that the 90 day clock stops after the RFE was issued.
Not knowing the reason for the RFE is causing too much stress than the actual wait. At this point, I've no other choice than waiting. My EAD and Driver's License expires on Aug 10th.
This is the reason why I tried to maintain H1B. On H1, at least you can work if you have a renewal receipt. Unfortunately, I lost that status last year when I was laid off during recession.
Please check your PM.
Good luck to you.
Hi,
I self e-filed my EAD application and the Receipt date is 6/7/10. They called for Biometrics which is done.
I got an email saying that they have sent a RFE. Waited for 10 days, still no signs of RFE. When I called USCIS, they asked me to wait for 15 days. When I called after 15 days, they created a Service Request to re-mail the RFE. Now they say, I have to wait for 45 days. When I asked them if they will extend my deadline to reply to the RFE, she said she doesn't know.
Has anyone been in this situation ?
What kind of RFE will they send for an EAD extension.
I sent my 485 receipt and a copy of my EAD when I e-filed.
How many days do they usually give to respond to the RFE ?
Any feedback is appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
My 485 status online just changed today. Here's the new message:
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.
The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done, counting from when USCIS received it. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. To receive e-mail updates, follow the link below to register.
--------
The previous message said that "my case was transfered from CA to NSC on Sept 12th 2007". I had been seeing the previous message for the past 9 months. Anyone knows what the new message means?
Coincidentally, I had called today and spoke with an IO to check on the status of my 485. He said that within 30-60 days it should get assigned to an officer. Would this have any bearing on the new status message? I see an LUD with today's date.
Thanks much for any help,

Hi Kunal,
I am in the same boat. In my online status it showed exactly same msg. Then after couple of days it started showing the following msg:
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: This case has been sent to our local office for processing.
On May 19, 2008, we transferred this case to our DES MOINES, IA location for additional processing. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done.

Just follow the link below to register.
Please note: All this status changes and Soft LUD's are only for primary applicant and not for spouse's application. we have no connection with DES MOINES, IA, never stayed there , never worked there nor our company is from there. Don't know why it got transfered to local office there.
I am hoping that this all means that my case is assigned to officer.
Guru's any idea what all this means?

That's pretty much what my lawyer told me.
Okay. I was able to talk to my attorney just a few minutes ago. He said, to do interfiling , you do not need to have PD current based on new I-140 as this is just a case update with new 140 information. He said that in any case, your 485 will be picked based on PD. I found him very very confident when he was telling me all this info to me.

Hi Guys,
I need your help on this. My cousin is running this small IT company in india and he mentioned that when US client sends their money to India via Pay Pal or some secure money transfer , they are charging them 4 % of transfer amount.
He ask me that what could be the best way to avoid this fees , some of the option that we thought about,
1) If they (cousin's company) open an bank account in USA and utilize this to transfer the money to indian bank account - Would they still need to pay US tax as money is being deposited into the US account?
2) If I utlize my bank account - I think in this scenarion I have to pay the US tax for whatever money the client is depositing into my account in order to make this legal transfer
3)If US client utilize remit2india, ICICI to transfer money which I highly doubt
I appriciate your responce on this.
Ask him to double check if his clients are using credit cards to do the transfers. Using a bank account has 0 transfer fee for domestic transfers. Not sure if the same applies to international transfers but good to double check.
Edit: Sorry, sanjudba already made a reply similar to mine.

This new proposed rule will not matter for retrogressed categories / countries.
It will affect the lucky few whose PDs are current and can file concurrently. It certainly looks like they are enforcing (FORCING) premium process I-140s down everyones' throat now. It is a very typical dirty ploy from this administration.
Think twice before you talk about corruption and bribes in third world countries. We all know how this system 'works' now...

I have similar situation - I applied for 140 in July 2006. My daughter will turn 21 in July 2007. As I have applied for 140 before she turns 21, she is safe for GC, but will loose H4 status when she turns 21. As per my lawyer's advice I have applied for her F1 so that she can stay and continue her studies in US. When I become eligible to apply for 485, she can be included in the application - but, not as a dependent of H1B holder.I urge you to ask for second opinion. From my understanding it depends how long your I-140 was pending.
Here is a part of "The Child Status Protection Act � Memorandum Number 2" by
Johnny N. Williams
http://www.immigration.com/newsletter1/childprotac.pdf
------------------------
Derivative Beneficiaries � Family and Employment-Based
In addition to the direct beneficiary family-based preference category examples provided in the previous memorandum and above, section 3 of the CSPA also applies to derivative beneficiaries in both family-based and employment-based preference categories. Just as with the case of the Form I-130, with an adjustment based upon an approved Form I-140, Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker, [and other immigrant petitions filed under section 204 of the Act for classification under sections 203(a), (b), or (c) of the Act], the beneficiary�s age is to be calculated by first determining the age of the alien on the date that a visa number becomes available. The date that a visa number becomes available is the approval date of the immigrant petition if, according to the DOS Visa Bulletin, a visa number was already available for that preference category on that date of approval. If, upon approval of the immigrant petition, a visa number was not available, then the date for determining age is to be the first day of the month of the DOS Visa Bulletin which indicates availability of a visa for that preference category. From that age, subtract the number of days that the petition was pending, provided the beneficiary files a Form I-485,3 based on the subject petition, within one year of such visa availability. The �period that a petition is pending� for the Form I-140 is the date that the Form I-140 is properly filed (receipt date and not priority date) until the date an approval is issued on the petition.

...and you dont want to get a H-1B visa stamped because it is risky? What kind of risk does that involve? There is no risk. Just get your H-1B stamped when you go to your destination. Simple.
My F1 visa was rejected for no good reason long back, before i even came on H1B. So its kind of scary every time I have to go for visa stamping. Its very random. Guess its just the fear inside me.
So I guess its all about the risk, if or not I want to get my H1B visa stamped or just wait for the freaking AP.

Swede, Thank you. We need more people like you.
And to think of it so many people who could come to the rally, who are struck in the logjam and should come to the rally, did not come. It is a shame!!
It goes to show that IV represents everyone and not just Indians or Chinese. I am proud of all the Brits and other Europeans who not only joined the fight but led it from the front.
I was the guy from Sweden. I agree with the Russian student.
The reason I was there was because my green card process was a painful and stressful experience for 5 years. And I was still one of the lucky ones! I don't want to put anyone through the same agony, not even my worst enemy. I really feel for the people still stuck in the mess.
I talked to a Polish guy who had been here 9 years fully legally and could not leave. He had not seen his family in 9 years and did not want to risk going back just in case they would not approve his H1B in his home country. They are very strict there it seems, because none of his family members or friends could not even get a tourist nor visit visa to see his graduation. Shocking!
I was glad I showed up at the rally just to hear all the peoples' stories.
Most people who did not show up probably think they are ok after applying the i485. They will join IV rallies, when they realize how wrong they are. People have applied for i485s years ago and still don't have a green card...
You are in trouble until you get your green card in your hand.

I do know a friend who fits the bill - EB2(ROW)
I have asked him for his permission to share contact information with you. He is not a member of IV.
A top national reporter wants to speak with someone in EB
community who may have recently lost his/her job due to current
economic situation. I think it would be best for our cause for someone
who was offered a new job possibly in the 'same or similar' area
immediately after losing their job. It would help to highlight that
the highly-skilled immigrants are in demand because of their skills
even when the economic situation is not doing well, but, there is no
reason to keep us in limbo for over a decade, merely to test our skill
level. There are better ways to test our skill level. If you or
someone you know fits this profile, kindly email your information and contact details to info at immigrationvoice.org
immediately.
The reporter will also highlight the housing angle and that we can
start new ventures that could potentially create new jobs to uplift
the economy.
This is a big opportunity as the interview from this reporter will be published in most big newspapers and on news websites. We need someone urgently today if possible.
