I missed the boat by 26 days. My PD is 26-JAN-2010.
Not sure whether there willl be forward movement in March Bulletin :confused:
Thanks! this forum has helped cool a lot of nerves with a no-nonsense approach to predicting and deciphering the situation. Good luck to the rest!Quote:

Any thing can happen with USCIS, just hoping for the best.. If I miss this time, I will take longtime for them to adance the dates as they will have enough applications..
I had given up hope of seeing the VB today .. just before going home I checked this forum and lo and behold .. saw this post ... checked the VB and sure enough .. am current .. cannot express how happy I am ..Quote:

Thanks!! !!!
Great News,!!!!
However, the longer the party is going on, the logic is getting blurred, i think now the pipeline is atleast 50000... dont know the motives or CO's calculation, but as long as he keeps on advancing the dates, great...
all 2009 PDs, check my post before the bulletin and give me greens :D
One way to let the dates advance further is , if the guys who were current in Dec/Jan Visa bulletin do not file until the March bulletin comes out. Since Any one who is current upto Jan bulletin have time till Feb 28th to file, it should be ok to file after feb 10th or so by which time March bulletin would be out. What do think Guru's !!!
enjoy your freedom :-)
Congrats to all whose PD became current in this bulletin.
Congratulations to all who got current.
I am current too.
Can someone remember the thread number of a post related to someone getting married after filing 485. I will be in the same boat.
I am current and i will be sending my application on Feb1. But I am getting married in last week of Feb in India. What are my options for my wife's 485 when she comes here with me in March? I am assuming as long as the dates are not retrogressed, i will be able to send her 485 as dependent in march. And if they do retrogress, i will have to send her 485 whenever the dates become current in 2-3 years? I will talk to my lawyer too on Monday.
Again thanks all for your help.
Congratulations again.
And lets push for 3012 as hard as possible.
Huge round of congratulations to those who got current today and also in the previous bulletin :)
Work has kept me extremely busy and did not visit the forum.
2012 seems like a huge blessing to many folks.May this new year bring you a EAD/AP and end to many long standing problems.
I am pretty sure that with this movement USCIS will be way above the inventory of 50,000 and eventually the dates will stall or retrogress.Quote:

Thank you one and all ,after painful journey of 7 years in this country i am finally current.
Guys we still need to push harder for HR 3012 so that we can see smiles on all of our friends faces!!
thank you,

Special thanks to Q, Teddy, Spec, Veni & All others for all your number crunching and calculations. God Bless :)
Also I pray for other late PD folks to get current soon so that they can file for EAD/AP.
Sports, Jack, Kanmani and all others BIG Congratulations...
Where's the party tonight ??
Have a blast guys.
My hands are literally shaking writing this - Q, Spec, Teddy, Nishant, Kanmani, SportsFan, and all of you (apologies if I missed - case of shaking hands) thank you very very much for you ideology. Stay firm, stay forcused, do good, spread good information, provide solace to those of us in limbo land.

I appreciate someone bringing HR3012 here in this thread, i see the date movement is very much in relation with amount of stress on HR3012, just a thought.
Congrats everyone who became current today. I hope dates do not retrogress, because, even though I am current today, my company has restarted my gc process since my previous perm and I 140 was filed for a specific job location and I moved out from there. So I can't file for my 485 until may be 6 months. But I am really happy for all you guys out there. God bless you and fulfill all your dreams.
Aur ye laga sixer, natraj phir champion.
Had i known(hind sight is 20/20) that my wife and i would be current 2 months apart i would have waited. to file. Now i have a 2 year bond with the company. well. no complaints really.
Congrats to all!!!
Hi Billikoot, you just need to apply for H4 COS for your spouse and can file with the receipt notice itself. You don't need to wait till you receive the COS approved.Quote:

Lets hope more people get a chance to file for EAD/AP. Can someone give a link to directions on how to proceed with medical examination and what all vaccinations are required etc?

Q,
Now we have to start new thread - GC Predictions - 2012. :)
Thanks all, spe. Q, Nishant, Teddy, Spec, V.
Congrats everyone who became current today.
Congrats 2009ers! I am current too. Happy. Happy.
I have 2 questions.
My husband works in different state. Can we do our medical exam in different states?
I applied for my passport renewal (with mother's last name correction) last week. Will a copy of passport enough for Medical exam?
Appreciate your responses.
Hello All- congrats everyone and was hoping someone would be able to help me. I have been a silent observer past several months and my priority date is now current too.
From my understanding this date is current starting February 1 and is valid through february 28? My question is what if on February 8th or whenever, the March bulletin is out, dates retrogress and go back to say sometime in 2008 or so. My priority date which is in 2009 will stop to be current from March 1 and even though march bulletin is out, I may still be able to submit I-485 until the end of february- correct? pls tell me if that is the case. Reason being, I have currently been working out of my firm's London office over the last several months, and my plan was to accordingly come back to the states for a few days in February to get the medicals done and mail the i-485 form to USICS.
I also understand that i have to physically be present in the US when the i-485 is 'sent' to USCIS (hence i would come back to the States for this). How long do i have to be in the States to ensure i am in compliance with all relevant rules. Do i just have to be there until i know they 'received' the application?- which would be 1-2 days with a fed-ex, UPS confirmation, or is there a requirement to be there till the issue a receipt of i-485.
Experts- pls help as I want to ensure that i don't miss out anything during this process.
Additionally, i am well aware that this post is definitely on the blog, but i was wondering that for the benefit of so many of us, someone could direct us to a started i-485 kit post with a check list for all of us to make sure we are not missing out anything and we have another set of eyes to check what our lawyers to. I have found by experience, that even the best lawyers have the tendency to miss out something and us having a firm knowledge on what all is needed will make it smoother for us.
Thank you very much and good luck.

Welcome to the forum . Congratulations on your current status.
Your understanding is correct. Your PD is current through February 29 .(and beyond if the dates are not retrogressed)
You should be physically present in the US for filing I-485 and wait here until you receive the receipt from USCIS or the checks attached are encashed. ( either one )
Please do not leave the country with fedex receipt for the reason there is a chance of misplacement of the contents of the package.
Thanks Kanmani- for both answers.
Knowing by Feb 8th or so that I will either have to file the I-485 by the end of February or if dates don't retrogress being able to file even during the month of march makes it easy to plan travel.
As for the I-485 receipt part, are you stating the law and saying not to leave the country till they issue a receipt or is this to be on the safe side. I have been doing soe more research and from sites such as trackitt etc, i have heard that it could possibly take weeks for the receipt notice to be issued by the USCIS. One post mentions a conversation with someone at USCIS who said you don't have to wait for a receipt notice to reach you- you just have to make sure you are in the country when the application is mailed as it might take several days/weeks for notice to be received. I am hoping people who are sending applications in Jan will be able to shed some light on how long it takes for them to receive the receipt notice.
Thanks,

The law says one should be physically present inside US to adjust status from non-immigrant to immigrant . You have to prove yourself that you were physically inside while applying for AOS. The process of applying is completed only after the application is received by the uscis . proof? receipt !
Congrats to all who are current....Crap that I changed my job 2 weeks back...else I would have filed 485...wish I could go back in time. Any comments on how much retrogression we can see from here ? My PD is July-2009.
