But consider this: I just posted this in the approval thread:
Looking at the overall approval trend in IV, , Murthy forum etc it is clear to me that FIFO is out of the door and in most likelihood low hanging fruit is being plucked from the tree. At the next Ombudsman call I am going to raise the issue of USCIS's declared commitment to FIFO but actions that seem completely contrary to it.
Obviously anonymous postings in open forums cannot be presented as evidence but one can certainly request the Ombudsman's office to ask for monthly 485 approval statistics and the cat will be out of the bag. By the time the wheels of Goverment bureaucracy move it might be a month or two before this data is made available to the Ombudsman's Office; forget the applicants - that will be like asking for the moon.
Regardless of whether I get approved or not in the next month or two; from a process perspective a monthly approval report going from the USCIS to the Ombudsman's Office each month should hopefully force them to stop this stonewalling and walk the talk.
This will not only help EB2s down the line but spare a thought for next year when EB2 is current, EB3 has a cut off of June 1, 2006 and we start seeing May 2006 EB3 approvals when 2001/02 EB3s are still pending. Again I welcome suggestions but the focus of my effort is going to be the approval process rather than a personal case or two.
Agree - Only solution is to process by PD, rather than anyother dates - Also the PD porting mechanism needs some review. Once the position in line is set it should be set for ever - It is simply unfair for deserving folks waiting in line from 01 (if they are truly 'waiting' that is) if an 04 guy gets approved just becoz. he got his app at NSC/TSC's door a few days earlier. I dont think anyone will complain with that kind of a rule - other than may be USCIS as their processing statistics/metrics may become complicated.
May be writing to Ombudsman will help in this regard.

Gurus,
Since EB2-India is current, I am exploring the possibility of interfiling.
Goal: Interfile in such a way that my new application under EB2 (New case
category) get attached with old case (EB3) priority date (07/2003) and
thus enable me to take advantage of EB2 current PD as declared in
April 2008 bulletin.
GC Application/s history:
-----------------------
OLD APPLICATION
Employer: xyz
Category: EB3-RIR Conversion-India
Priority Date: 07/2003
Labor approved
I-140 approved
I-140 approval date: 06/2007
AP and EAD approved
485 receipt date: 07/1*/2007
NEW APPLICATION
Employer: ZAB
Category: EB2-India
Priority Date: 06/2006
PERM LABOR approved
I-140 approved
I-140 approval date:08/2006
No AP/EAD/485 applied under this application
Notes: (1) Currently working for company CDE on EAD.
(2) "A" number on both I-140 are similar and different from "A" number
on 485 file.
(3) Occupation codes for both category are "Close" and matches the
job profile with current employment on EAD
Question: Is my goal achievable? If yes, then what to do and how to
proceed?
Thanks in advance for any help to sort this out.

Yeah if the restriction was for non immigrants none of their "special" buddies from gulf states like UAE, Saudi, Kuwait etc would be able to visit.
Some on work visa is ineligible under
Section 212(a) of the Immigration and Nationality Act reads:
(a) Classes of Aliens Ineligible for Visas or Admission.-Except as otherwise provided in this Act, aliens who are inadmissible under the following paragraphs are ineligible to receive visas and ineligible to be admitted to the United States:
(A) Practicing polygamists.-Any immigrant who is coming to the United States to practice polygamy is inadmissible
IMMIGRANTS GET BETTER DEAL

Does this mean that you cannot have 6-9 years extension of H1B for the new employer and you must use the EAD after six years if you are changing jobs?
There are more risks in using AC21 before 140 approval.
Read the Aytes memo of Dec 2005 regarding portability before 140 approval. There is all kinds of things that can go wrong if you port off to a new employer before 140 approval.
Other than employer withdrawing 140, the other issues are that if there is an RFE on your 140 and you have already used portability and ported off to new employer using EAD, then what would you do if that 140 doesnt get approved. Because if your H1 6 years have been used up, you are on EAD status, and your underlying 140 tied to 485 doesnt get approved, then it means you are out of status and you are out of luck. You cant even stay here to appeal the whole thing, you have to pack up and go back.

My infopass appointment was this afternoon. NC cleared. All the IO said was I should wait as there were many applications filed on 7/2/2007.
I mentioned once that 2006 cases are getting approved and with my PD being in 2004 when should I expect to get my 485 approved. All I heard back was WAIT :mad:.
Not sure how long though. Been seven years since I filed, first in 2001 and then again in 2004. Looks like a never ending wait.
Hoping for the best :)

That was a great post from "snathan" and a very touching one as well. Thanks dude.
I see few comments saying otherwise and even pushing "snathan" to pull back his original post. But the way I see it, "snathan" never adviced or forced it on anyone. There are always good and bad things everywhere and upto the matured minds to see what to take and what not to. But to deprive someone of that piece of advice or information or a story for that matter, is what I would term it bad.
Well, if this arrived too late for someones current relation, it should definitely help the next one. After all life doesn't end until the last breath.
Also thanks to Mbhai too. Though meant to criticize, still had the "snathan" posting in quotes. Otherwise many like me wouldn't have had the chance to read his post. Again I am not saying Mbhai and rest others who criticized did anything wrong. They again free to share there opinion but could have avoided pointing directly to someone ( no harm ). All here are matured enought to see whats good/bad and what to take/not.
No harm intended against anyone in this post. Take it all easy guys.

EB3 140 is already approved on Jan 2006, we re-applied 140 again on EB2 but got the Priority date of EB3 for EB2 of Sep 2005. But I Think priority date is only for Labor not 140, so my 140 for EB2 is still May 21 isn't it?

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>

EAD, AP & FP notice are sent directly to the applicant. If you see the status of AP as document mailed then you should get within 2/3 days as they send by DHL. I got mine in 2 days, my wife also got in 2 days
If your attorney filed your case, then:
EAD is sent directly you
FP is sent to you and your attorney
AP is sent to your attorney.....
All these are sent by USCIS via regular mail.....
Your attorney might have sent the AP documents to you via DHL...

FP: Jun 25, 2008
Card prod ordered: July 23, 2008
EB3-I / PD: Mar 2006 / I-485 - RD: Jul 2007
Will post about duration as soon as I get the cards in hand.
I Efiled mine on may 19th, FP on jul 3rd, no update yet.
Efiled my wife's EAD on may 30th, FP on jun 24th, Card prod ordered July 23rd.
We are currently working on EADs which expire on 30th Aug.
Am worried if I will have the card by then or not.
If i dont have the approval by aug 19th, I am planning to take Infopass for the interim EAD.
It sucks to see they dont follow FIFO or atleast close to FIFO, so much variation as some june filers received card in june itself.

Yeah that sucks. I have a 2004 PD as well but was lucky to get out of PBEC in Jan 2007 and was able to apply for 485 in July.
I feel for people like you who have older PDs (2001 to 2004) and missed the July-Aug window.
It is unfair that some people with recent PDs (even 2007 PDs) got to apply for 485.
Hope something works out for all old timers.
Same situation here too. My husband came to this country in 1999. Filed for greencard in 2004. Labor was sent to philly BEC and it got cleared in September 2007 so we too missed the window too. Not sure what to do
