Ok, so my PD got current (EB3 India). What next?
Optimystic -- is your PD current?
IF you have a current PD RIGHT NOW...AND submitted your I-485 on or before June-July 2007... AND have an approved I-140
(i) they are sweeping through all the files to find such files because if you filed your application in June-July 2007, 180 days have likely passed since your name check was submitted to the FBI. Name check request are made within weeks of generating a receipt for you.
(ii) they plan to complete this sweep by March 10; UNLESS visas run out, they plan to process such cases in approx 60 days (hah! like I believe them).
(iii) within the set of applications with current PDs, they apparently process in order of RD. Not sure if this is within the EB preference and current PD or across all EB preferences.
(iv) Some cases are approved without any changes in LUD i.e. that amazing email arrives before without any prior LUD changes.
IF you don't have a current PD, I have nothing to say except best of luck to all of us...the situation is pretty grim. The movement of EB-3 ROW will mop up most of the green cards left this year.

Yeah, that means a maximum of three images got more than one vote. So it was either 3 nominees or 17. I guess having more judges might've helped.
Well maybe Kirupa could've just overridden us and decided for himself.

I have applied for H1B extension with my original h1 company (a consulting firm) and due to some pending queries regarding the h1b applications in general for my company, my h1 extension was in pending state with no updates. (I applied around Jun 15th 2008).
Later in dec 2008, I applied for h1 transfer with a new firm, and got a RFE on Jan 7th with similar requests... My lawyer asked me for all my W2's since 2005 (my original h1 start year), pay stubs for the last 4 or 5 months, and letter from end client, prime vendor and myself stating job responsibilities.. I have collected all this information, and they are going to respond to the RFE this week. I hope all goes well...
I have EAD to fall back in case they reject it. But seriously, I was never out of status, or unpaid (unless while on vacation to india or elsewhere).. came to US in 2002 for masters and worked on CPT/OPT for about a year before starting on h1b in oct 2005.
Looks like they are really keen about the consulting firms' benching etc., Hope we;ll all get thru.
Good luck!

I took the pain of driving to NY all the way from Boston to get my passport renewed. I woke up at 3:00AM and stated off at 4:00AM so that I could reach the consulate by 8:00AM. I was told by my friends that I would get it in the evening itself. Unfortunately, I was faced with severe disappointment that they are no longer returning the passports on the same day. The worst part about the Indian consulate in NY is that they didn't update their Website. When I called them several times, non one answers the phone and speaks with courtesy.
After arriving at the consulate, we were made to wait in the cold for atleast an hour until 9:15AM (They open the doors at 9:30AM). They have no mercy for people. Also, the approach they took to call out people was terrible. It was like a fish market. I asked them if would get my passport back on the same day. I didn't get a straight answer until my number was called. I went there and atleast that lady talked to me with respect with a smiling on her face. Atlast I was told that they are not returning the passport on the same day. They asked me to pay 20 extra dollars so that they'd send the passport by Express mail (USPS). She also told me that I can track the passport.
I then drove back to Boston, the same afternoon. After exactly a week, I got the new passport booklet along with my old passport. I am fortunate enough to have all of the details printed accurately.
My strong advise to everyone is to send their passports by mail.
Thanks for the tips. I was also thinking of driving to NY from Boston, but it look likes it's not a one day affair.

eb3_nepa,
Multi national aspect of IV team should come up on its own without anyone of us forcing it that way. One thing we should forcefully implement is give everybody an oppurtunity to speak up, if a right candidate steps up.
Again we should also be concerned about how we are interfacing the outside world. At this point in time we should be result focused than process focused.
thanks

My case is as detailed below, and my questions follow:
PD: July 2007, EB2 (India), Software field
Labor, I-140: Approved, I-485 etc. NOT filed.
H1 Petition and Visa valid until: Jan 2011 (after 7th year extension)
Currently outside US, NOT working for the H1 sponsoring employer.
My employer has NOT revoked my H1 or I-140.
I was working for the employer in US where the GC process started. Then moved to Canada in early 2008 when the PD was highly retrogressed/unavailable. Since then, worked in Canada in related field for a different (Canadian) employer. Things have been tough here: lower pay, very high taxes, friends all in US, and especially - the weather. We would like to return to US.
I will soon be able to apply for Canadian citizenship. I am in a dilemma now - whether to return to US on H1 NOW or to become a Canadian citizen and try my options LATER. I have the following questions:
(Same employer, as Indian citizen, knowing that I did not work for them for over 2 yrs, and was outside USA):
1) can I now(or anytime until Jan 2011 visa expiry) return to US to work for the same H1 sponsoring employer on the existing H1?
2) would I be allowed the H1 extension in Jan 2011 based on approved I-140? Or is that doomed to be rejected because I was not working for the employer in between for over 2 yrs.
3) Would the fact that I was out of US for 2 years help me get a "regular" extension?
4) could I continue the GC after a gap of 2 yrs while I was not working for the employer?
5) if yes, will my PD of July 2007 be maintained?
(Different employer, as Indian citizen, knowing that I am currently out of the US):
6) if I get an offer from a different employer in US, could the new employer do an H1 "transfer"? i.e. would I need to wait for the April 1/October for H1 application/visa and would it be counted against the yearly H1 quota - or - can the new employer do the H1 "transfer" immediately?
7) For the H1 "transfer", would I need to produce US paystubs for the last few months (which I cannot, since I am not in US)?
8) if the new employer applies for my GC, could I re-use my old PD of July 2007? If yes, would the profile need to be exactly the same as the previous Labor/I-140?
If I become a Canadian Citizen:
9) if I become a Canadian citizen, (my H1 would have expired by then) will I be able to return to work on H1 in US for the same or a different employer as a Canadian Citizen?
10) could I reuse my PD of July 2007 when working for the same or a different employer after changing my Citizenship? Would the job profile need to be the same?
Also:
11) is it possible to switch the GC processing to "future employment", although the Labor/I-140 were approved with the understanding that I was to continue working for the same employer?
12) is the H1 visa/Priority Date of approved labor/I-140 carried over when the individual changes citizenship - from Indian to Canadian?
13) when do the dependents' citizenship come into the picture in the GC process? If I continue to be an Indian citizen but my spouse becomes a Canadian citizen, will my approved Labor/I-140 be affected in any way?
Please help me in getting the facts so that I can make an informed decision in this dilemma. Any help appreciated.

also, i think u may need to maintain some sort of residence and retain proof of it (rent lease, utility bills, etc.) to show ur intention to stay here. even though technically GC is for a future job, an absence (even if its not continuous) of 5 yrs will eventually raise red flag(s)
or better yet... u can avoid all this adjucation crap and convert to consular processing (from ur home country) -- find out from a good lawyer to see if conversion is possible. if u r going to be out of US for 5 yrs, why would want to continuously renew EADs and APs anyway?

I donot see any point in paying off the house, as you can deduct the interest to get some tax benefits. Why loose any benefit you can get.
On the other hand, use the money you were thinking of paying off the home for investments. Investments may it be CDs or stocks ( though right will come in future).
Although personally i have never bought a brand new car in US. Car depreciation is biggest loss one can take; we just bought a 5 th car...all cash paid and it is used.
Keep your cash, play with 20-30% based on your risk apt, donot pay off your home...cash is king.
On your comment of " being a novice in financial "...i have to say it Everyone is a novice in every matter, we all learn it here. Rather one who says he/she is a novice will make cautious decisions; i am wary of so called experts/gurus who mauled financial markets and still call themselves experts.
Start reading finance articles, blogs and you will be able to understand.

I was with Swede and the Polish guy at the rally. I myself chose IV over other organization precisely because the diversity and the common ground IV embraces--they represent the true American Dream and the fundation of Democracy.
The diversity: IV was initially established by a group of Indians, but it has a welcoming attitudes toward anyone who has suffered, is still suffering, and will suffer from the broken system.
The common ground: IV clearly estabishes that English is the language for the forum (at least the main forum). By setting the language, the IV sends a message of welcome to all who share the American Dream. By including individuals across countries of origin, IV recognizes the nature of the Great Melting-pot and shows that we have the ability to be inclusive, tolerant, and work together on a democratic basis.
Let's make efforts to mobilize people across countries of origin and work towards success! KEEP IV STRONG!

Sorry to hear that case is gone to wrong office. The (c)(9)() class of EAD filing instruction is that it must be sent where I485 is being processed.
During infopass visit, officer must have given some clue.
If I were you, I would be sending the supporting documents with a covering letter stating the blunder. This type of mistake should not be uncommon to USCIS offices and they should have procedures to fix it.
