I think it is the part of their process. I went an infopass the other morning and the IO gave me the same response. She said every thing was fine with my application. It was pre-adjudicated and now waiting for a review now that my priority date is current. She asked me to wait for 60-90 days. But I got the approval same afternoon :)
I was told the same thing in my infopass appointment on Sep 3rd. I also opened a SR on 09/01. Finally received the 485 approval notice on 09/10. My wife who is my dependent actually received a CPO email on 09/09 and a message on 09/10 saying "you are registered as permanent resident". I never received the CPO email and I don't care.
It's been a long 10 year journey, extremely frustrating. I case to this country as a student, then H1B, was exploited by my employers for so many years, still with the same employer on H1. Renewed EAD 2 times never used it as my 485 was denied last year.
Case history:
Priority date: Apr 26, 2006
140 rejected: Dec 2008.
I-140 reapplied Jan 2008
I-485- receipt date: 09/11/2007
I-140 approved Aug 2008 (Multiple RFEs which were never ending)
I-485 denied without appeal Jul 2009 because they somehow linked my case to a denied I-140.
Lawyer filed motion to reopen in Aug 2009.
I-485 reopened and went into pending status Jun 5, 2010
Here's what I did since the last month:
- Called USCIS to open a SR 08/15/10 but was told I should call when my priority date becomes current
- Called USCIS on 09/01, opened a SR for both myself and wife, was told I should hear back in 30-60 days, but may receive an email sooner.
- Lawyer called on 09/02: IO (Level 2) said, I may have to do finger printing again as they were expired.
- Took infopass for 09/03: IO was very helpful. Said my case was in transit and is pre-adjudicated. It was not assigned to IO as of that point.
- Contacted Congressman on 09/07. They initiated an inquiry on my behalf.
- Took another infopass on 09/10 (I wasn't aware that petition was already approved). Received the most humiliating treatment from the IO. She will not disclose any detail and told me I should come back in Dec to check on my status since my 485 was denied earlier. I ran into a Canadian immigrant who had the same experience - absolutely useless.
- Came home all frustrated and angry. I was surprised the see that the approval emails had popped in 8 am in the morning.
I believe the SR to request our files on 09/01 probably worked.
I can't thank enough the IV core and all wonderful people who keep contributing to this forum. This forum has been a great help!
Good luck to everyone who is waiting and hope you see the green soon.

How is response to MTRs sofar. Are they encouraging? What happens if MTR not approved what are the options?
I read on Mutrhy and RG's website that their initial MTR are successful and CIS has re-initiated 485s. This makes sense as the revocation of 485 in above cases were against the policy and possibly just an error. Its a different thing that it can create a havoc in candidates life, particulary if the candidate doesn't have H1 to back and if he is working on EAD. What a joke!!!

I am not saying we initiate a strike or something like that, just gather together to have some (ideally at the same time) rallies to get media's attention. It even can be done at weekend. Say we can have 1K demonstrators at five big cities each across the nation - it must be something.
Afetr all, we are legal immigrants and our voices should be able to get delivered LOUDLY.
The only thing concerns me is the traffic of this web site, I sincerely hope someone can forward my post (not necessarily the original one, a better version) to some immigrant web sites so we can work together.
For me, I live in NJ, I have no problem driving to NYC on a Saturday morning to tell people what has been haunting us and is going to be haunting us for a long while.
BTW, imagine such kind of rallies happen three times a month - it's gonna blow!
We are SO DAMN OVERLOOKED!

What is this case#
amit
Hi,
I'd posted a note earlier. I haven't received any updates yet. I am in contact with 4 other people who interviewed on 4th Jan and are still awaiting a reply. The kentucky number mentioned in one of the replys confirms the date on which our H1 was approved. When you call up the number, on mentioning your case #, it pulls up the date on which H1b was approved.
Could anyone who's received a email/ call please post a message to the group, indicating the wait time and date of the first interview?
Thanks!

Read FAQ # 34 from the following link.
https://www.vfs-usa.co.in/ApplnForms/RulesAndFees/Faqs.aspx
This does not need to be paid to HDFC. You can pay cash, in my case I paid cash for this.
Whats the fee of INR 155 for? Nothing of that sort was mentioned to me by the consular officer. He just asked to submit the passport. But if you do have to submit, should I get it in form of a receipt from HDFC as I did for the visa appointment or just cash?

This is an excellent point. DOS publications claim that PIMS has all the information since 2004. Please mention your approval dates too. There could be a delay pattern pertaining to the approval date.
Anyone with H1B after 2004 has seen any delay???
This forum has provided an incredible amount of information for ignorants like me. Please keep on updating this thread with your experiences and details. Mention your approval dates also.
Thanks
H1b approval notices are for 3 yrs. So most folks who are going for stamping now will have approval dates much after Jan 2005. So DOS claiming that all cases after 2004 is not correct.

Following is my draft. Any and all suggestions welcome.
I still need a link to the testimony of USCIS director confirming wastage of green cards. I would greatly appreciate if someone compiles list of e-mail addresses of judiciary committee members. Please note I would be making calls myself. E-mail is only for colleauges as I can't ask for their time on telephone calls. Here is my dreaft: -
Dear Member of Congress:
Congress has an opportunity before it adjourns to help advance U.S. innovation leadership by
enacting H.R. 5882, a modest, bipartisan bill that would simply �recapture� employment-based
immigrant visas numbers that Congress authorized in prior fiscal years, but that went unused due
to government processing delays. H.R. 5882 is a common sense measure that should be enacted
without delay this year.
H.R. 5882, which Representative Zoe Lofgren introduced with Representative Jim
Sensenbrenner, would help reduce visa backlogs by recapturing Congressionally authorized EB green cards from prior fiscal years that went unused due to bureaucratic delays.
What is H.R. 5882?
By recapturing unused green cards H.R. 5882 would address the issues of justice, equality, fairness and efficiency; at least temporarily.
H.R. 5882 addresses a very important issue of discrimination of high skilled immigrants in the US immigration system on the basis of their country of birth. As per the current law the quota of employment based green card is equally distributed to applicants on the basis of their country of birth. No single country can take more than 7% of the annual quota of 140,000 green cards. Thus the applicants born in two countries India and China, who contribute more than 50% of the high skilled immigrants, have to wait lot longer than applicants born in other country. Simply put an applicant born in XYZ country gets green card in six months and applicants born in India or China with exact same skill sets & exact same contribution to US economy has to wait for years and years indefinitely for his/her green card.
In addition to this, due to bureaucratic delays, a lot of green cards go unused from the annual quota of 140,000 every year resulting in processing backlog stretching up to decades.
What H.R. 5882 is not?
H.R. 5882 is not an amnesty. It does not legalize any illegal immigrant. It does not provide any waiver to any unlawful stay or unlawful activity in the US.
It does not increase congressionally authorized immigration limits. It does not authorize even one extra green card than what is authorized by congress.
It does not take jobs away from US, rather helps keep the job in US.
It is very important to note that the overflow of visa numbers in the family based immigration system is transferred to employment based system but NEVER vice versa.
All the high skilled immigrants who are in green card limbo are in this country for many years now and contributing to economy, paying taxes. They have steady jobs and during the three stages process of green card it has been established multiple times that a US citizen or permanent resident is not available for that job. Close to million applicants are limbo due to bureaucratic delays and country based quota system. If they get green cards they are in position to buy new house, car, start new business etc. there by making significant contribution to economy.
I request you to support the passage of the bill through US congress.
Jungalee,
Excellant draft. Please keep it up. I am taking a couple of points from here in my posters. Your "What 5882 is NOT" is also a very good compilation,
Thanks,

Big companies like TCS cannot split or start another company as everything is associated with Brand name and other stock market regulations. They will be forced to hire citizens/GC holders with H1bs if this bill is passed in same form. USCIS will take care of small Indian bodyshoppers by RFE and asking client letters etc if they start multiple companies. Of course there will be loopholes our Indian companies will find in any law but still it will clean up H1b and L1 atleast for some extent.
I agree. Sometime back when I was actively looking for jobs, Infosys was hiring local candidates which means EAD, GC and Citizens trying to augment their workforce with local candidates. As I was on EAD they asked me to come for interview. The salary level they were willing to offier is so low that it will just never work out and I did not even go forward.
If these companies want to hire local candidates -they cannot treat them like they treat h1 or l1 holders - it is going to be interesting.
On one side they need to be in business and on other side they HAVE to hire locals which means lesser profits.

Thanks for everybody's support and good suggestions. I feel that even if there is no immigration related legislation due to this forum, the enormous amount of knowledge that has been accumulated due to contributions from everybody is a tremendous resource in itself. No more guessing what to answer to a confusing question on I 765 or I 131. Just do a google search and more often than not, a thread from IV will be the top on the list (and it usually contains useful info)! That itself is a great achievment. So thanks everybody and specially to IV core for keeping this effor going on. Hope we will have some meaningful legislative reforms soon. However I feel that it's good to remember that GC is like money- it's value stems from it's scarcity :-)

Can somebody please give us the link of the document that shows how many applied , yearwise.
Getting any sort of data out of any of the immigration agencies is often frustrating. Especially something like how many eb2 I-140 did they accept, approve, deny... However, they do randomly throw number out and we can scavenge through them for `clues'. Here is one such link.
