Congratulations for all who are current !
Thanks all.
Friends,
Congrats to all those who became current!
Regards
Congratulations to all whose dates became current.
My priority date is Oct 2008, longway to go.
Congrats to all who became current (Teddy, Soggadu etc) and I really feel sorry for those who are not yet current (Nishant etc).
This is one of the most happiest and memorable news after a long gap and I can't tell how relaxed I am. I wish and hope that I forget the crappy politics at my work place for next 7 months.
This is real Dassera for me and hope every one the same.
Last but not the least ...thanks to Q, Spec, Teddy, Soggadu, Nishant, skpanda, globfan and many others for continued contribution relentlessly, some are done and some are still expecting, who are feeding us with data and letting us dream of some hope.
I can go to India after a long gap of 6 years.
Hello Gurus(Fab 5),
I would really appreciate if you could give your updated predictions (for this year and the years to come) based on today's Visa bulletin and inventory data.
Thanks for all the hard work and great guidance.
Buddy mine is July 2008 hang in there..
wow, amazing...just heard the news...I am happy for all of our guys who are current.
My immediate thought was Nishant missed it, i felt very disgusting ( as some of you know, we have so many things incommon like when we got here when we bought home, when our parents visa's got rejected etc, i am having sentiment that i will get my EAD just after Nishant).
I was going through some of our older posts, i felt Q and guru's are reasonably correct with given data in calculating the forecast ( better than weather man).
we are getting good information on how to file and where to get certain information in this forum, that is what i like most - better than prediction.
Those who are current please pray for us who are not current.
grnwtg, I remembered you too. Relief for our parents is in sight. lets hang on. thanks for your wishes for everyone.

This means that you are greened, enjoy green life, many congrats.Quote:

Go and Have a blast Dude...probably you not believing your eyes :)Quote:

My PD Is Oct 31st and I feel lucky to just make it. What would be your best guess of my timeframe to get GC ?
Hello every body,
I am so happy to see the all guru's getting current and finally every body seeing light in the end of the very bid tunnel.Special thanks to Teddy and Soggadu and nishant you will be current 100% in the next bulletin good luck to all others who got current and people who are waiting to file 485
Congrats to all who will become current in November. Can't believe will have EAD in hands in about 4 months.
one quick question, if you look at I-693 and I-864 forms, on right top corner, they have 10/31/2011 as expiration date. Does that mean we can't use those forms for November filing ?
Q/Spec/Teddy,
Sorry to ask this question again but I am little anxious since I am one month one week away from being current. In the VB they mentioned there would be siginificant demand from this movement, they also mentioned they anticipate significant cut-off date movement in future, in addition they say it wouldn't be monthly and eventually retrogress. Looks like they covered themselves either way. What are your thoughts on this.
This advancement is expected to generate significant levels of demand based on new filings for adjustment of status at U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services offices. While significant future cut-off date movements are anticipated, they may not be made on a monthly basis. Readers should not expect such movements to be the norm throughout the fiscal year, and an eventual retrogression of the cut-off at some point during the year is a distinct possibility.
My interpretation: Anything can happen any time.
As you said, they covered all bases like an expert lawyer. Really, I think, we can just stop reading into these lines, and not brain warp into it. Overall the language is positive, it shows intent to move ahead.

A movement beyond 6 months is certainly likely to retrogress at some point of time.

Good night!
I see few more trackitt approvals for EB2-I cases with PD ranging from mid-April to mid-July'07; I think there are 5 - 6 approvals so far. Interestingly, all of these approvals are from Nebraska center but this might be just a coincidence.
I think you will surely be current in the next bulletin as USCIS says that there will be more forward movement (even though it might be followed with retrogression). Good luck!Quote:

Many thanks to you, Q, Veni, Soggadu, Teddi, Spec, Monica, Kanmani, and everybody else for making this wait bearable and for giving everybody hope (based on good quantitative backing)!!
All the very best!!

I have a request for Q and other friends who recently went through filing 485 - can you please post the procedure for filing 485? I apologize if it has been been discussed already. In that case, may i request to point me to the relevant thread.
My lawyer is on vacation till 20th October and i don't want to wait till he comes back. Congratulations again to everyone who have become current during this VB.

Couple of questions going on in my mind and requesting Guru's thoughts on it. I am not with the company thats sponsoring my GC & Nov. bulletin gave an opportunity to file I-485 with them. I understand its for future job, but at what point I am elegible to join them? Is it after filing I-485, or after receiving the EAD or after receiving the GC?
Thnx
Congrats to all the folks that got current and wishing the best for the ones on the fence. I have a PD of Apr 3, 2008. It's a little nerve wracking with all the predictions pointing towards at the best case scenario of the dates reaching Mar 2008 for FY 2012. I'm also facing the question of whether or not to take up an employment offer and I would NOT be inclined to move even if there is a somewhat reasonable chance that I can file a 485 before Oct 2012. Any suggestions/thoughts? Thanks!
As long as you have EAD or H1 you can join anytime. Or you can join after obtaining GC.

Computer Software Engineer, Computer Systems Analyst, Computer and Information Systems Manager, and Computer Programmer occupations constituted over 25 percent of the total PWDs issued.
Of these occupations, Computer Software Engineers, Applications, was the most frequently requested occupation , representing 13 percent of all PWDs issued. The remaining most frequently requested occupations each represented 2 percent or less of the total PWDs issued.

The employer with the highest number of applications filed during FY 2010 was Cognizant Technology Solutions US Corp. with more than 1,000 applications filed. Two school districts, Prince George’s County Public Schools and Dallas Independent School District, are also among the top 25 employers that filed applications in FY 2010. Forty percent of these 25 employers are technology or computer-related companies.

In FY 2010 India, South Korea, and China remained three countries of origin with the most certifications for foreign workers in the permanent labor certification program; however, Canada and Mexico moved above the Philippines and into the top five.
