It just means somebody touched the case. The case is still at NSC.
What is your PD? Are you current?
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

Listen,
What difference does it make if it is EB@ or EB3, the point is, we should stand UNITED we all benefit. If the recapture visa bill passes, then we all will benefit.
Please don't post any more viewpoints stating " I wont fight"
It is your loss and everyone's . If you choose to step out of IV and fight all by yourself, I wish you all the best.
We senior members have been fighting for the greater cause, it for you junior members to carry this forward. The foundation of IV has to be strong, it has been strong.
IV has not patience for people who want to discriminate between EB2 or EB3, we need people who see a broader perspective of things, EB community as a whole.
If the recapture visa bill passes, think we all will benefit, will we still question about EB2 or EB3.
Please be wise and be patient, we need everyone to change this system

You forgot the lawyers. How does it affect them? They are an important part of any law when written or changed.
Though there is no charge to revoke I-140 from CIS, corporate lawyers do charge money and that makes it in their interest to convince & pursue HR ppl to do so.:(

The following write-up appears here courtesy of ChanduV23, one of our members. This has been edited for content and messaging:
Thank you ChanduV23
- On behalf of the Core IV Team
I am a highly-skilled professional who entered this country legally. I�ve been waiting for my US permanent resident visa -also known as "Green Card" for the past several years along with 500,000 other educated, highly skilled employment based (EB) immigrants. Many of us have been waiting for our turn to get Green Cards for 5-10 years while consistently abiding by all the laws of this country. Such long delays are due to tortuous and confusing paper work, backlogs due to various quotas and processing delays at US Citizenship and Immigration Service (USCIS) and other allied state and federal agencies.
Several categories of EB immigrant visa (Green Card) numbers have been unavailable (�retrogressed�) since the fall of 2005. Because our immigrant petitions are tied to the sponsoring employer, these delays have led to indentured servitude for several of us. Our professional prospects, job mobility and potential opportunities for entrepreneurship have been compromised.
For the past several decades, the US Department of State (DOS) has been publishing advisories known as visa bulletins once a month to announce the availability of immigrant visa numbers. On June 13, 2007, after a gap of nearly two years, DOS announced that all EB visa numbers would be �current� for the month of July. This meant, irrespective of our �priority date� (date assigned to us for our turn in the line for Green Cards), all of us were made eligible to apply for some interim immigration benefits. This �priority date� refers to the date when our labor certification (documentation verifying no US citizen worker was available for a given job) had been filed.
Please note that 6/13 DOS announcement would not have led to immediate green card for most of us; but at least it would have ensured us interim benefits such as the right to travel and right to work- this was still a welcome change. Especially, for dependent spouses who have been otherwise unable to work, this would have translated into right to travel and work without restriction and thus channel their energies positively. Several dependent spouses are also highly-skilled. This would provide them an opportunity to realize their technical and entrepreneurial expression and add to tax dollars. Additionally, this would have greatly reduced the paperwork burden on our sponsoring US employers.
Tens of thousands of applicants spent thousands of dollars in legal fees, immigration medical exams & vaccinations & getting various supporting documents ready to file our immigrant petitions to USCIS, at times inconveniencing our old parents in our home countries as well. It has been an agonizing two weeks for us. Some of us to had to fly in our spouses from our home countries or have had to cut short business trips. To our shock and dismay, on the morning of July 2nd 2007, USCIS announced that EB visa numbers were not available and all petitions filed in July would be rejected.
For the legal skilled immigrants this has been a rather traumatizing and disheartening experience.
We sincerely seek immediate congressional/ legislative remedial measures which would
(1)Reduce the enormous backlogs of green card petitions of legal skilled immigrants
(2)Ensure and request USCIS not to reject our immigrant visa petitions filed in July and provide us interim benefits of a pending immigrant visa petition. We make this sincere request on this Independence Day with the hope that people who played by the rules will be rewarded.
I was wondering if we can use this template and your press release ( http://www.prlog.org/10022648-no-celebration-for-thousands-of-highly-skilled-future-americans-this-july-4th.pdf) to let our local news media know. Thanks

You have already violated your F1 status. You can not have a company apply for PERM & i140 while on F1 status, period. All that stuff of "it�s for a future position" or "you did not authorize the company to apply for I 140" is B.S. The only thing that matters is that F1 is not a dual intent visa, and initiating a immigrant process in your name (yes the PERM and I140 applications have your name on it meaning you authorized it) means you violated F1 status. You need to consult an attorney before you file for H1.
Your answer is incorrect as far as I know. Please do a little research before giving such answers.

My wife was on maternity leave last year. She was paid partially by the State and partially by a 3rd party insurance company. Her employer did not pay for these, so they did not include it on her W2.
I am not sure if your case is similar, but this is what I know about maternity leave benefits. BTW I am in CA, so I am not sure how it works for other states.
AFAIK, Short term disability payments are not taxed by Fed and State. We got a W-2 from the 3rd party ins company. This W2 only mentions the payments as "Third-party sick pay" and does not add to the gross W2 wages. My wife also took the CA paid family leave which is paid by the State. We got a 1099-G from the state for this. AFAIK, the paid family leave payments are taxable by Fed but not by CA state. BTW, fathers are also eligible for this paid family leave in CA within the 1st birthday of the baby.

I applied for my EAD renewal during last week of Nov 2010, it took only 42 days to receive my renewed card. It got 2 years validity, validity starts from the next day of current EAD expiration date. Even though current card is valid for another 2 months, pleasantly surprised to receive the new card in USPS priority mail. Overall, job well done by USCIS as for as this EAD renewal in concerned.
My priority date is Jan 2007, not sure whether by extending it for 2 years USCIS is not expecting me to be current in the near future. Personally I am expecting to be current during this July - Sep time frame. Worst case at least it should be a touch and go scenario, fingers crossed.

I was just thinking, the wastage of visa numbers we see, is that basically due to the per country quota. The rule that no country can have more than X% of GC's in a year, would mean that even though there are visa's available, they cannot be alloted due to that per country limit.
Anyway the smaller number of application is good news.
-AD
The wastage is due to handicap USCIS, they dont make basic calculations for the visa numbers used per year.
To give u an example, lets say they have to give x amount of visa, they just process x number of apps and at the end of the FY some people are still struck up in other processes like Name check etc. So those numbers who are struck up, get wasted.

When I was hired last spring, I was not told about GC retrogression by my employer. I beleive they should have explained in graphic detail and if they done so I would not have left a good job and my home in Canada to move to an American nightmare.
I recently discovered that I have at least a 5 year wait as an EB-3. My teenage daughter will be too old to get a green card as a dependent and my wife is seriously depressed about not being allowed to work.
How many other people are as P-Oed as I am and is there a class action suit here?
They are legally not irresponsible....They very well know what is going on....
They are the ones who designed the whole doggone system....
At the worst you can say that they are ethically wrong...
They have no obligation to explain anything to you...
In fact some would tell you to wait for two years to file for green card and they would be well within their rights...
For a class action suit you need a credible argument.
The way the law is structured...we do not have a very good argument..
If you do find good argument let us know..I am sure there are members who would be interested...
Also who exactly would you sue ?? People have tried suing USCIS already with not much of success...
If you sue your employer..there goes your job...
The best recourse we have at present is through legislative efforts...
