Mine took 8 days after the online status changed to approved-so don't worry. It's funny, on their website, they said documents mailed on sept 10, but i rcvd them on sept 17th. When i rcvd the AP, i realized the documents were mailed on sept 13-sept -- so don't blindly trust what is online.
There was a black line---uscis printer completely screwed up-and the first line of the address on mailing envelope and the address was completely un-readable. I am not sure how we even got it in mail.
I second to CC123. I had G-28 on everything. I got the EAD and AP directly. However, I did not get any original receipt notices from USCIS. My lawyer got the all original receipt notices.

Excellent sanju...CNN is FOX News in a closet. There is no independent media left anymore.
Larry King pushed Michael Moore schedule to cover Paris Hilton interview. That shows their committment to quality news.
I will do the same.
A few days I called Comcast to disconnect CNN and CNN headlines from my cable. The Comcast representative was surprised as to why I want to cut CNN. She transferred me to her supervisor. The supervisor noted down my complaint and said that he will get back to me in 3 business days. Next day I got a call from Comcast that they will block CNN entirely from my cable. I thanked them as I will not have bigotry coming into my house anymore.

When we use AC-21 and change jobs, and when we travel out of the country on using AP while coming back , at the POE if the immigration officer asks if you are working for the same employer, and you say no, then what are the risks involved?

Lets figure out the next course of Action for IV in the best interests of its members. Let's itemize each one of them and propose possible solutions. This thread is not for question / answers about individual situations but broad GC issues to be resolved by Govt/Congress/USCIS/DHS/DOL by way of proposing bills/acts/resolutions/amendments. IV must have done this but I didn't see an easy way of getting it.
First we could categorize them into different buckets such as that IV did for the forums. Just made up some to give an example. Some gurus on IV can suggest a better categorizing
Ex:
1) Labor
a) Allow one to get promoted instead fixing to of a fixed job position in the labor advt.
2) I-140
a) Allow One to file for two I-140's
b) Have freedom to change employer when I-140 is pending
3) I-485
a) Allow one to get married while I-485 is pending or after approval or provide some status to the spouse for whose I-485 is approved
b) Have the flexibility of filing multiple 485's so that one can choose the best one at end of the approval stage
4) Finger Printing
a) ...
b) ...
5) Backlog
a) Resolve backlogs from 1999.. so and so..
OR in the following format
1) Labor
a) Issue : One cannot change job position while a labor is approved
Soln: Allow one to get promoted instead fixing to a fixed job position in the labor advt. Say so and so provision/act/amendment (Sect 2.3.1 blah blah has to be changed to resolve this issue.
2) I-140
a) Issue: More RFE's for I-140 change in job profiles
Soln: As the time passes and technologies changes the job profiles may change and it is not wise to look for word to word match in the job descriptions. Say so and so provision/act/amendment (Sect 5.3.2 blah blah has to be changed to resolve this issue.
b) Have freedom to change employer when I-140 is pending
Soln: The time taking for getting the PD is too long and so EAD has to be issued at the I-140 stage itself. Provision/act/amendment (Sect 2.3.4 blah blah has to be changed to resolve this issue.
3) I-485
a) Issue: One cannot get married and bring the spouse while I-485 is pending
Soln : As most of the GC aspirants are in their marriage age and this hampers prospect of getting married when I-485 is pending. Allow one to get married while I-485 is pending or after approval or provide some status to the spouse for whose I-485 is approved. Section 6..7..8 blah blah has to be modified to accomodate this
b) Have the flexibility of filing multiple 485's so that one can choose the best one at end of the approval stage
Soln: Give the freedom for some one to file multiple 485's but allow to choose one. Modify section 554.34.3.34 blah
4) Finger Printing
a) blah blah..
b) blah blah
5) Backlog
a) Resolve backlogs from 1999.. so and so..
I just cooked up some above but the actual one's may be different
I am sure the IV Core must have these itemized already. Some one in the core team may take a lead on this and formalize the process. This is what probably the way we try resolving problems rather than balabbering issues among ourselves in the postings amongst us.
There are lot many individual stories on different threads, and there is some thing common out of all these postings and that common issue should be the action item to be taken up by IV.
Guys put in your thoughts and come up with better approach or improve up one of the above approaches. But do something before every looses the tempo.
If this can be made as a sticky and the first post can be updated with each new issue that itself takes us what we need to do and how we are trying to tackle and what are the time lines.
Hope this helps

Cases Affected by Limits on Annual Immigration such as Retrogression: 793,722
Family Based Cases: 682,936
Employment-based or Other: 110,786
this is what i dont understand. they say a visa number is deducted only when they can actually start working on the 485 (i.e when the priority date is current) so would it mean that there are still thousands of applications coming in every month for eb2 with priority dates prior to june 2002 that is causing this retrogression?

This signature waived is normal because of something having to do with when they scan the card, and if your signature is there, then it could cross the line where the machine scans your card. So I have heard from others online in these posts this is valid since August 1 FOR EVERYONE and your picture is there, so this is not an issue. What I am wondering about is why is this EAD only valid for one year when first it was valid for two years, why have they changed this? And if your i-485 green card case is pending, and you have gotten your i-765 EAD in your hand do they approve your i-485 green card fast? SOMEONE PLEASE RESPOND

Hello,
In all the stories of INS, USCIS, DHS that I've read here, the lack of visibility, customer service and accountability seem to be the common theme.
However, I was pleasantly surprized by a call from IO a few weeks back in local office asking me for extra documents (Current employment letter as the original one was from 2007, 2007 tax returns and 2007/08 W-2).
He told me that though he had sent a letter, the letter would take a few days to reach and hence he wanted to call me up. He also told me that as my original fingerprints are expiring on 26th Feb, I should send the response as soon as possible to enable him to process the application.
Though I still don't have any extra hope that the application will be processed soon, it was nice to see a change in USCIS approach.
Hope this was not an exception to rule and we see more such behavior from USCIS that helps in clearing us from this awkward limbo situation.

Guys and Gals,
I decided to go with my credit union and called them this morning to lock the rates. I just received some disclosures and rate lock agreement, when I was reading it, there was a section where it asks "Are you a U.S citizen?", loan office assumed that I'm a citizen and checked the box.
I understand that I should tell them the truth, but wondering if that may increase my interest rates. Please share your experience or advice you may have for me.
H1B - Valid till 2011
EAD - Expires on Sept 08 (will be renewing it soon).

I received IRS tax audit check for year 2005 last week. I guess mostly I can defend my audit and I have scheduled an appointment with IRS tax manager for next week
However god forbid if I have to pay penalty on audit,I was wondering this would impact anything on my 485 process. Does it have any impact
Appreciate your thoughts.
If anyone faced this problem please, please give ur ideas
Most audits are routine, once you can back up your claims with paper records/receipts you will be OK, but consult with your CPA and be ready to address the points raised.
Unless you have been found to commit criminal fraud, it should not affect your green card petition. Small penalties and the like have no effect. Last year I had to pay a small penalty because I underestimated my taxes deducted during the year.
You are getting an audit for the 2005 year now? I would have thought they would have moved on by now. Did you take an extension and file late last year?

Friends I think a great injustice is being done to NSC filers , their applications are taking months for ead and ap, while TSC filers are getting ead adn AP as soon as they get receipt, do you think this will improve for NSC in future, at this time looks like august NSC filers will haveto wait till the end of the year for EAD,ap, which is sad.
Grass is always Green on other Side
NSC People think Texas people are good that they are getting EAD along with receipt
TSC people think NSC people got there receipt almost 3-4 weeks before NSC people
I am talking mostly about 2nd July filers
But if you sit down and think if you are getting EAD 2-3 weeks later doesnot matter. But Atleast NSC people knew before 17th August refiling cutoff that wethere there application made it or not.Texas peoples fate was waiting hanging in balance.
I have a example My friend filed 2nd july at NSC center, His application came back on 13th August with in-complete papers and He refiled in 15th , SO he is golden.
But most Texas People (99% you can verify with various polls on IV) did not have any clue where there apllication is by 17th August deadline.

In UK things are different and there is still race issues. The govenment of India called mostly because of Indian Actress involved in racial slurs in a TV show.
So that is a real publicity and that ignited the Immigration issues too. But USA welcomes immigrants more than any other country so we cannot get our problems thru the high level because its really not an issue.
Retrogression is not due to because you are from a different race. All we can do it try and make the lawmakers understand the problems and hope things will change. Atleast you live happily and no one fires racial slurs on you in United States.

I understand that your intention is to get heard. I appreciate your effort at writing letter. However writing to the president will not help us much. Here is why:
In the USA, infact for that matter in most democracies, Laws are made by elected representatives unless it is an executive order to grant an immediate relief.
The composition and powers of the House and the Senate are established in Article One of the Constitution. The major power of the House is to pass federal legislation that affects the entire country, although its bills must also be passed by the Senate and further agreed to by the President before becoming law (unless both the House and Senate re-pass the legislation with a two-thirds majority in each chamber). The total number of voting representatives is fixed by law at no more than 435.[1] (United States congressional apportionment - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United_States_congressional_apportionment))
So, In our case, the president at the most can sympathise with our cause and the hardships we face because of the limbo, But he cannot really help until there is a bill that passes both the house and the senate.
So, Can I suggest that it will be even more worthwhile if you contact your congressman/woman and go meet them. We need them to understand our plight and anguish.
We all need to go meet our lawmakers, educate them.
They already are educated. Do you think they do not know about us?
They fully know about us. But they will not help us because we are not voters and cannot contribute.
A better idea is to have our employers contact them. People working in large companies can do this. I am surprised why the big companies have not taken up this issue for us. Why cannot we have big companies issues statements in our favor?
