Hello,
My 485 status online just changed today. Here's the new message:
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: This case is now pending at the office to which it was transferred.
The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now pending standard processing at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done, counting from when USCIS received it. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. To receive e-mail updates, follow the link below to register.

The previous message said that "my case was transfered from CA to NSC on Sept 12th 2007". I had been seeing the previous message for the past 9 months. Anyone knows what the new message means?
Coincidentally, I had called today and spoke with an IO to check on the status of my 485. He said that within 30-60 days it should get assigned to an officer. Would this have any bearing on the new status message? I see an LUD with today's date.
Thanks much for any help,
Kunal
Hi Kunal,
I am in the same boat. In my online status it showed exactly same msg. Then after couple of days it started showing the following msg:
Application Type: I485, APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: This case has been sent to our local office for processing.
On May 19, 2008, we transferred this case to our DES MOINES, IA location for additional processing. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. We process cases in the order we receive them. You can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. This case has been sent to our DES MOINES, IA location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.
Please note: All this status changes and Soft LUD's are only for primary applicant and not for spouse's application. we have no connection with DES MOINES, IA, never stayed there , never worked there nor our company is from there. Don't know why it got transfered to local office there.
I am hoping that this all means that my case is assigned to officer.
Guru's any idea what all this means?

Just saw a soft LUD today. No status change from yesterday though.
fundo14 - how long has it been since it was transfered to the Des Moines office? Have you called and spoken to an IO about this change?
Same here. I saw another soft LUD today 6/14 after a LUD yesterday 6/13. Wonder if USCIS works on Sat or it's just some regular database update.

porting can be beneficial but attempt it only if you are 100% sure that it will succeed and talk to your lawyer before you do it and don't attempt to do it yourself. it will be a lengthy process with increased scrutiny. 3-4 months for labor and atleast 1 year for 140 processing and moreover DOL is making it tougher for EB2 with strict adherence to the rules and increased scrutiny. after all this, there is a very high likelihood of getting RFE from USCIS at 485 stage. if any EB3 person has EAD, AP then it would be best to play it safe and stay with EB3 as you already have the benefits of EAD and AP. I know it would be much much better if you have a green card, but would you have it safe and sure or do you want to go through all the stress of refiling and preparing for all the problems in the process? it should be ones own personal choice. moreover I am hopeful that things will move favorably after the elections with the immigration reform and might result in some relief for all EB categories
Thanks all for the various responses. However, Immique, what kind of RFE can be expected @ 485 stage?
Also, I have moved to Biz Dev from an engineer after my Labor. I now have my 140 and EAD. Is there any risk because of my change in role?

This is a million dollars question on everybody's mind. Although the books says you can, I bet no body will take the risk.
Nobody can predict when July filer will get AP too.
There is a good chance I am taking this risk. But if there is any hope I will wait. Contrary to that if there is no hope I don't want to keep waiting until July next year for AP.

I think we are confusing multiple issues here. Once the 6 month period is over where the I-140 is approved and the I-485 is pending for 180 days it does NOT matter if the employer revokes the I-140 or not. You are good to go! (Unless ur a classified terrorist or a criminal).
United Nations is right. Let’s say that there’s an employee with an approved I-140 + pending I-485 who switches his job using AC21 after 180 days. Now there are 2 possibilities here
1) Employer revokes I-140 (AC21 applicable here)
2) USCIS revokes I-140 (AC21 not applicable here)
Employer revokes I-140: In this case unless the employee had filed AC21 papers, I-485 is most likely to be denied as USCIS doesn’t have any record that the beneficiary still has similar or same job offer. Hence its advisable to file AC21 well in advance in such situations.
USCIS revokes I-140: At times USCIS might revoke a previously approved I-140 if the employer fails the “Ability to pay” test for all pending GC applications. This is more dangerous as the bonafide nature of the previous I-140 approval is in question now. Refer one of my old threads below on this topic.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=230209&postcount=9
Such a situation can be avoided if the employer himself withdraws the I-140’s of ex-employees so that he’s no longer burdened to prove ATP for all pending GC applications.

Another Indo-US deal moves forward: Indian workers can get Social Security money back
Vikas Dhoot
Posted online: Tuesday, July 08, 2008 at 0037 hrs IST
New Delhi, July 7
With Prime Minister Manmohan Singh�s government finally moving forward on the Indo-US nuclear deal, the Bush administration is also demonstrating its keenness to resolve other crucial bilateral issues in India�s interest. A long-standing Indian demand for a social security pact that allows Indian workers stationed in the US to bring back their contributions to the US Social Security system on their return to India, is close to being met.
Over $1 billion of contributions to the US Social Security Fund are made annually by an estimated 80,000 �detached workers� from India working on consultancy and onsite assignments � each one has to contribute at the rate of 15% of basic salary. However, when they return to India, these contributions are forfeited as the minimum period to qualify for pension benefits in the US is 10 years (the same is true of India as well).
After a series of meetings between Indian officials and the US Social Security Administration as well as a senior White House official in Washington last week, Indian workers� annual donations to the US social security fund � which currently has a $4.1 trillion deficit � may finally come to an end.
�We are close to sealing the pact. Indian workers who spend three years in the US would get a refund of their contributions to the US pension system. Moreover, the pension will also be portable � once a worker completes the qualifying period of 10 years, the pension will be payable in either country,� a senior government official said.
The US has such �social security totalisation� pacts with 22 countries, whereby workers who spend three years in the US hold on to their pension benefits as the 10-year qualifying period takes into account the time spent by workers in their original country�s pension system. India has recently signed such deals with Belgium and Germany.
�If both US and India have bilaterals with a third country, the totalisation and portability principles will apply in those cases as well. So a worker could spend 4 years in India, 3 years in US and 3 years elsewhere, without losing retirement funds,� the official added. Bilateral talks on the issue had intensified after Singh and Bush issued the joint statement on July 18, 2005 to move towards a new strategic relationship. Last December, the US Social Security Secretary visited New Delhi, but little progress was made. Under Section 233 of US social security laws, international agreements may only be arrived at with countries with a �generally applicable� social insurance or pension system.
Between December 2007 and now, India has made some progress on this front which it convinced the US administration about. The Unorganised Sector Workers� Social Security Bill has been introduced in Parliament as well as reviewed by a standing committee. The Rashtriya Swasthya Bima Yojana has also been kicked off.
�It has been an intractable wall we have been chipping away at for years, but this time, we feel they are convinced that there is a sound social security sytem in India,� the official said. If India succeeds in formalizing the pact, it will be only the second Asian country after South Korea to do so. Once signed, the US President will have to report the deal to the Congress with a report on the estimated number of individuals affected and its effect on the Social Security fund�s flows.

HI,
Can any one tell me is it necessary to Get medical done by Dr. only around ur location.
Reason for asking is I live in NJ. And i got an appointemt with DR. Kim in NY as i know him through somebody else.
He is also more reasonable asking around 190/-
Thanks
He is definitely not reasonable if he is asking only 190/- becuase that should just be the physical. Immunization and xray might increase your cost. Check with your doc.
