I filed my 485 in June 2007 in Nebraska and yesterday my LUD changed but there was no message. This is the first change in my LUD since my finger printing in July 2007. I am EB3-I with PD of Dec 2002. Not sure what got updated. Any ideas???
I've got LUD on mine and my wife's 485 on 02/10/2009. So far I got nothing, RFE or finger prints. My previous LUD on 11/26/2007.
Also, I applied for AP and I had LUD on 02/09. So I wasnt sure if they just checking for 485 before approving my AP>

Guys as someone else has posted earlier, there is NO basis for asking for this.
CP was created for getting your GC if you are OUTSIDE the US. It is now being conveniently used by people within the US to circumvent certain issues and to get the process approved earlier. EAD and AP are for people WITHIN the US.
So please talk to a lawyer about finding out how to convert a CP to an AOS and you can apply for your EAD and AP. IV cannot keep adding to the list of things to ask for. This point has been stated by the core members over and over again. Currently you cannot have it both ways ie get ur GC quicker through CP AND in the meantime enjoy the interim benefits of the EAD/AP.
Whether you have contributed or not is besides the point. The contribution is to speed up the GC process not for what each individual or smaller set of individuals want for their custom needs.
BOTTOM LINES:
1) IV is fighting for the ENTIRE GC process to be faster.
2) IV Cannot keep changing its goals and what it stands for.
Sorry if this sounds harsh, but that is the way things are and have always been.

Unless USCIS shows significant improvements in efficiency (which I doubt), increasing fee is nothing but a way to milk immigrant community more.

I dont think DOS will do any spillover, if by a miracle they do a quarterly spillover it can happen only in december, The whole idea of spillover is if there are any leftover visas they have to use it by the end of the year (i.e spetember 30) or if they do quarterly spillover as the law says then they have to do it by the end of the quarter i.e Dec 31, march 31, June 30.
If the eb2 does not move to atleast march 2005 then it means DOS is not doing quarterly spillover.
Hydboy, you make a good point. Does anyone know if this is how USCIS would do a Qtrly Spillover if they do it ? And do they have to make the EB2-I and EB2-C dates the same before they do a spill over like they do it for the yearly?

Newt said Nothing is going to happen on this Specter or any other immigration bills in Senate. The conference with House will not agree to anything.
I also sincerely believe that Nothing is going to happen I say, these senators are doing CYAs; they will bitch it to media, their constituents, hey look, we did attempt these immigration reforms.
I am talking from my long experience and wisdom and take it from me. The only force that can improve the pitiable conditions of Indian and Chinese due to retrogression and lack of visa numbers is the big corporate employers . Each one whose LC is approved, whose I-140 is approved, who is waiting to file for adjustment of status AND who are indispensable to the employer / work at this stage should write to the HR/ Immigration/ Attorney.
I am in such a position. I am a technical lead in my IT department. PD Nov 2001. I write about these issues and the difficulties once in a month my team manager, or project manager or Immigration department.

This is their projection for coming months:
---------------------------------------------------
Employment-based: At this time it is unlikely that there will be any cut-off dates in the Employment First preference during the coming months. It also appears unlikely that it will be necessary to establish a cut-off date other than those already in effect for the Second preference category. Cut-off dates continue to apply to the China and India Second preference categories due to heavy demand.
Based on current indications of demand, the best case scenarios for cut-off date movement each month during the coming months are as follows:
Employment Second:
China: none to two weeks
India: no movement
Employment Third:
Worldwide: three to six weeks
China: one to three weeks
India: none to two weeks
Mexico: although continued forward movement is expected, no specific projections are possible at this time.
Philippines: three to six weeks
Deja Vu!!!

While we work on bills, is there anything that can be done without a bill but from some kind of an order from the President's office or the Head of USCIS. Getting a bill thru congress in this climate seems next to impossible ( If we could just counter the -ve bills/amendments that would be significant).
What I am trying to say is there something somewhere that can be done with just one office making the decision then we can all make a concentrated effort towards that one office as we do have a few Legal immigration friendly people at every office.
Any ideas????

thanks mhtanim....
It seems that i can file tax using form 4852....but to do if he send legal notice claiming that i have made losses to him worth 25 K....i had good relation with client , gave app notice and also have refe letter from client (received award form client)..........so there shud be no point for liquidation thing and also i have all previous employers emails acepting my receignation and notice period...
Another thing which you may want to keep a watch is on the dollar amount that your employer reported on W2 for FED & State... in my case my old employer filed & reported wrong dollar amount to IRS and paid less taxes then what normally supposed to be paid which was of course he did that on purpose anyway and I didn't realize until I went to H&R block to file my 2006 taxes...and happen to notice I was ending up to pay way too huge $$ amount in return to IRS
Thanks to H&R they made my options pretty simple (a) check with my previous employer to see if he can do adjustment e-filing to IRS and provide me with corrected W2 that shows correct $$ amount or we can proceed further with filing with what ever they have reported $$ to FED & State and in the H& R system they do have an option for a separate forms that can be filed along with your taxes which reports directly to IRS on the issue and IRS will take it from there becasuse for sure during adjudication of your filed taxes in IRS system there will be flag for someone to manually look into your filed case.
My useless desi employer not sure what was he thinking at that time of such plans & didn't expect me to go that far with new approach to IRS, had given him options as described above and guess what he did over night e-filing on adjustment & did over night courier to my home mailing address...

Pappu,
Reality is DREAM act is directly connected to HISPANIC votes for Democrats, EB community doesnt have any VOTING rights, neither they get any support from the folks who are already GC/UScitizenship holders.
Once people are out of this GC mess, they all start talking about anti immigration and that's the reality, u go to any indian community around and see how much support you have from those folks who have GC/US citizenship.
Hispanic community has unity. EB Community has factured groups, each intenet on their narrow goals and aspirations. There is no use commenting on and comparing Hispanic comunity with legal community. Every illegal fights for all the illegals where as every EB immigrant fights for himself and by extension his/her group be it preference category or country category

i am starting to wonder, if you are for real. your profile is empty. All your previous posts are derogatory and you accused the american president in your previous posts. I am wondering whats the basis you are here in IV and if you a green card case that you have applied and waiting..
This guy 'oscarzumaran' just got his GC, thats the reason he has turned an anti-immigrant now.... "I'm in so let me close the door on everyone else".. that seems to be his theory! :D

Who is your employer?
When you GC is screwed you dont have a reason or purpose to keep quiet.
Post their name here, no one will ever join him.
File a lawsuit against them..I am sure you may have had emails about his promises or you paying money for GC.

I am also waiting for a GC to buy a house ... can't buy on a H1 visa with a project that keeps on getting extended every 3-6 months. You need stability for at least a few years to put in a committment for a mortgage that you are going to pay for 30 years.
I also work in a IT consulting position but still decided to go ahead and buy a home in St Louis back in September 2007. My 485/EAD/AP was filed in August 2007 and EAD approved a few weeks back. However despite my current situation, I believe buying a home was a wise decision considering the kind of lifestyle and security it provides for you and your family. I know a lot of my friends who decided to take the plunge and bought houses though they were working on H1 and have their GCs pending for a few years.

Republicans with the help of the tea party is going to (or try to) move the country extreme right...........this election just made things complicated!
If you hear both the republicans and tea party - they talk of sticking to core principles. Their principles have not been very good to the middle class..........
This election has emboldened the republicans and further chickened the democrats - the need for compromise is lost...........
CIR may be dead/alive; piecemeal may be the option - either way, meeting with lawmakers to take up our issues just intensified. Especially if piecemeal is the way to go, we have to be meeting with every senator and congressman seeking and getting the support - because not only will the anti immigrants oppose it, we probably will have to fight of the CHC too.
Our community does not have the money or representation in the govt, so our only hope is the aggressive and consistent participation in grassroot efforts and advocate for changes with the lawmakers.
just my .02 cents...
