You can add additional white paper sheet and mention the section number and details.

We got the "welcome" and "card production ordered" email for my wife and I today too. It was a long frustrating wait at times but I am glad its over for us now. Our best wishes to those that are still waiting.

No RFE at any stage, straight forward case, never called them for status or infopass. Took them about 4.5 years.

Here are our dates for those interested in tracking.

PD: Jan 29, 2004, EB2
Ohio labor approved - Oct 2004
45 day letter - Jan 2005
Labor approved from Dalla BEC - June 2006
I I140 regular, non concurrent approved - Sept 2006
I 485 sent to Nebraska - July 13 2007
EAD approved - Oct 2007
I485 approval email - June,06, 2008

===========

Was your I485 Approval from Neb or Texas ?

Finally, per Ron unused is not same as wasted. Unused is unassigned. Wasted is .... assigned but action is not taken to close the case. If that is the case then wasted visas won't be available ....

So, according to you, what happens when no action is taken for assigned visa number?

What matters is number of visas used. Have you looked at the numbers?

you buy a house when you don't have your green card, reduced to a single income with a new born, what else is gonna happen? Go buy BMW 3 series if you don't have one. Go invest thousands of dollars in stocks and then cry how your stock portfolio got wiped out (stocks will recover but by that time you'll have sleep disorder). I'm sorry to hear abt your daughter though, its not your fault but everything else is.

During 2001-3 recession, the time when the valley was hardest hit, one of my friends was forced to go India and wanted to leave his car behind because he came in 2001 and left a year later. People think when they come to the US of A, they fulfilled their life's ambition, not realizing their temporary status and immediately start buying new expensive cars and living it up! In another thread, my recommendation has been to buy a house rather than keep worrying over prices to reach rock bottom, but not unless you are green with a dual income and plans to live long term. How can you pan to live long term without being a resident is something I don't understand..

I don't think anybody would be interested in Sep visa bulletin as everything is expected to be 'U' for EB categories. The Oct bulletin would be more interesting. There are some predictions already that it would be similar to visa bulletin for Jan 2007.

All,

Opened my email this morning to see the card production ordered email (time stamp in my inbox reads 2:15 am PST 4/23/08); the approval date was 4/23/08.

Been in meetings all day so not even a chance to call anyone about it.

Yay!

Good luck to all my fellow sufferers!

Hearty Congrats on turning 'Green'!

my detailed post went missing:mad: ...dunno why nojoke edited it out :D.

to put it briefly, i never heard anybody hiring a ceo based on his experience of having organized the company picnic (read community organizer to prez :rolleyes:).

u need to look a little back for ur post to appear.
mccain is the ceo of which company? If he has been in senate for 26 years for so long without promotion that looks bad for his resume:D
Whether you like it or not, Obama is getting elected. And you will love this video

Since we cannot vote and influence the outcome of the presidential elections in any way, let's focus on what we can influence - legislation related to EB immigration.

I don't think either Obama or McCain will reject relief for EB immigrants stuck in the backlog. The challenge for us is (and has always been) getting such a bill through the House and the Senate. Let's try to figure out how we can do that instead of bickering over something we don't have any control over.

some jack left me a message calling me ignorant.

ppl here are discussing his topic to death.. abt changing the per country quota.
No one here wants to even ponder that.. immigration into US is a not a random act.

The policy makers and thinkers may have spent many sleepless nights to arrive at the thought of giving every global citizen an equal opportunity to migrate to this "land of opportunity".

So even an attempt to remove per country quota is absurd and retarded thought.

Be practical and make more realistic suggestions..

a.) IF someone has been inthis country for 10 years ..F1->H1, he shoudl qualify for EAD (no constrains) , until the visa number become avaliable.

b.) Allow for simultaneous 140-485 filing..


so if peeps here think that i am ignorant for saying that attempt to remove country quota is a non-starter.. think again.. DF's

Numbersusa site says that it will be back on Sep 18

My PD: 07/2*/2003 EB3:INDIA:RIR

If we think about the motive behind this I don't see any reason to believe that it's ethnic cleansing. They want to help Americans but not to punish H1-B workers. It maybe fair to not to hire H1-B or fire H1-B. May be they believe that they could help themselves without any foreign worker. But it is not fair to delay Green cards to those who filed for green cards.Because we went through all the legal processes, spent time, spent money and so on...

Could you inform us what your Eb category is and what is your priority dates.
TIA

This meeting was a success since IV was able to display support for the bill and also then follow up after the meeting. IV core members worked hard to make this event a success and we are happy to report this.
Many thanks to gsc999 for bringing a banner and wearing IV T shirt

Pappu, thank you for your kind words. I just had the T-shirt. Canadian_Dream brought the banner. Canadian_dream has been a very active member behind the scenes. Both of us coordinated this effort so that we could share the work. Next time we promise to be better prepared.

Go Northern California Group, Go IV!

So does my lawyer per the FAQ she sent earlier:

Q9: My adjustment was already filed. Do I have to re-file now?

A: No. If the adjustment was already filed, USCIS will retain and formally accept the filing.
