Documents for 495 are very generic. Tax returns are the only major difference that I have seen so far.
here is a link:http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/usc...0045f3d6a1RCRD
Baba agrees with you!
No offense..but I have seen a lot of difference in opinions among lawyers. Some asks for W2's, paystubs etc. for last 1/2/3 years. I asked Vizcard to share Fragomen's I485 list of documents because Fragomen is one of the prominent lawyer firm.

if possible, please move all personal questions and non-prediction/calculation related posts to different thread. Last few pages have none of the thread related posts
Yup, I totally agree this thread had outgrown the purpose. Mostly because people have started filing for 485 and CO himself is doing the predictions these days
In a way, CO is competing with Spec,Q,Nishanth, Teddy, Veni & co
No worries. I hear you
Hi ggk,
Note sure if my response is too late for you. Posting here just in case, it might help you somehow or anyone else in a similar situation.
My H1 was extended, beyond the 6 year period, on the basis of a PERM that was pending for more than a year. My PERM was in audit and got cleared through the backlog reduction process only after 2 years. In the meantime, I had got my extension and visa stamping done.
It specifically stated in my extension that the reason for extension beyond the 6 year limit is due to PERM being in pending status for more than a year.
If Fragomen isn't your attorney, you are just going to confuse yourself. And believe me if the list by Fragomen and your attorney differs, you are going to be worried and tensed. Sometimes the more you know the more you will be confused.
Also each case is different based on individual's past and present circumustances. So some case needs W2s, paystubs, etc. as supporting documents but others don't. And that could be the reason why USCIS doesn't mention it is required.
So I would suggest you should stick and trust your attorney's instructions or else should hire Fragomen.
Agree..I was looking for demand data whole day......As Nishantbhai said...every hours seems like a day
I do not mean to confuse anyone but I got below information from CM at US-Non-Immigrants Blog
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
http://us-non-immigrants.blogspot.co...s-from-mr.html
Today I talked to our attorney friend and asked him his views on statement made by Mr. Oppenheim about future movements within EB and FB category and what information they have across their law firm regarding EB2- IC
Here is his feedback as per information floating around the firm.
"Mr. Oppenheim did make those projections for EB and FB category. All the stated projections did came from Mr. Oppenheim himself. Everything other than "01 March 2008" for EB2 IC was explicitly stated. During addressing everyone in meeting Mr Oppenheim mentioned that significant movement as big as 3-4 months is expected in December bulletin with follow on movement in Jan- Feb 2012 based on demand. I(attorney) am not sure if specific date of '01 Mar 2008' was given to specific group of people later on but was not mentioned in our presence. On asking about excessive backlog in currently released inventory and it's repercussion on the stated projections, Mr. Oppenheim mentioned that he is not aware of released data from USCIS and will look into it later. Nevertheless, he still made it very clear that some significant movement for EB2 India and China is necessary to generate demand for fiscal year in order to keep cases adjudicated for processing at USCIS later in the year.
Based on released inventory it may be that Mr. Oppenheim will rethink his projected movement for EB2 India and China. I(attorney) believe this would mean bigger movement than 3-4 months for EB2 India and China in December and early retrogression than projected in summer 2012 in such case. Mr. Oppenheim was insistent about acute need to ensure enough cases are ready for adjudication before summer 2012."
CM - I believe this is very good news but please take it with a grain of salt. Let's hope for the best and be ready for the worst.
Hang in there for few more days...
I can totally imagine the nerve wrecking tension. Hang in there strong, I some how feel that the news is going to be good. ( even if we know that it's going to be a temporary movement)
Agree..I was looking for demand data whole day......As Nishantbhai said...every hours seems like a day
Get well soon. ( not munna bhai estyle, but seriously

Most of us waiting for lucky day.. Just wait 24hrs maxxxxxx.
Is it a rule that VB is done 1-2 days after Demand data? I maybe wrong but I thought I noticed an instance (maybe last month or 2-3 months back) where the Demand data was either released same day as VB or even a day after.
There's lot of information and mis-information put together in different piles, depending on whom you ask. This could go into either of them. If at all, you may be adding a drop to the infinity (confusion), so no worries
CO can release the Dec VB ASAP like tomorrow, Jan and Feb VB can make little late based on demand data
EB2-I, PD April 08, 08
seems like two of colleagues had their 485 - apps filed at NSC.
However mine was filed at Phoenix Service Center.
Anybody else in same situation?
Lot of comments on need for Tax return or not.
Found this paragraph in instructions section. This may explain why some attorneys have asked for W2 and tax returns.
"What If You Claim Nonresident Alien Status on Your Federal Income Tax Return?
If you are an alien who has established residence in the United States after having been admitted as an immigrant or adjusted status to that of an immigrant, and are considering the filing of a nonresident alien tax return or the non-filing of a tax return on the ground that you are a nonresident alien, you should carefully review the consequences of such actions under the Immigration and Nationality Act.
If you file a nonresident alien tax return or fail to file a tax return, you may be regarded as having abandoned residence in the United States and as having lost your permanent resident status under the Act. As a consequence, you may be ineligible for a visa or other document for which permanent resident aliens are eligible.
You may also be inadmissible to the United States if you seek admission as a returning resident, and you may become ineligible for adjustment of status as a permanent resident, or naturalization on the basis of your original entry."
mysati,
thanks for the response.since my case was not pending for more than one year I was not eligible for the same.

Agreed..Thanks!
Friends , i understand the anxiety around 485 filing and lots of questions. Also i understand why everyone wants to post here.
Personally i am quite time crunched and although I keep doing cleanup .... it is becoming difficult to spend enough time to keep the cleanup. The same is true for other gurus too.
May I ask for a few volunteers who could as much as they could keep this thread clean.
I no longer provide calculations/predictions ever since whereismyGC.com was created.
I do run this site only as an administrator. Our goal is to improve clarity of GC process to help people plan their lives better.

The subject of the U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin cutoff date movement is extremely important to many MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers. We provide predictions only when they are based upon reliable information. What follows is such reliable information, as it was shared by Charles Oppenheim, Chief, Immigrant Visa Control and Reporting Division, DOS. As advised in our October 27, 2011 NewsFlash! EB2 Cutoff of Mar 1, 2008 Expected in December 2011! these predictions include significant movement in the employment-based, second preference (EB2) category for India and China in the upcoming months.
Let me know if I can be of any help.
Ok qbf, and all others, this is my take. Today was no probability of VB anyways, it was only for demand data maybe. Last demand data was dated October 4th for data collection, the third working day of october, and today was the third working day of the month Nov 3. They published demand data on October 5th, the fourth working day of the month, tomorrow is the fourth working day of the month. They also released VB the same day.
Probability of VB releasing on the 4th, 7th, 8th, 9th and 10th is the same for now, and with each passing day after tomorrow, the probability of VB release on subsequent day will keep on getting higher!
I say the VB shall be released tomorrow. I know it has never happened, so early on the 4th of a month I think, but I am asking for it
I will get it cleaned once Dec VB pans out.
Never thought of this, you are correctGet well soon. ( not munna bhai estyle, but seriously
As of now , it looks like VB will wait for your fever/cold to come down until Monday/Tuesday
btw, your PD anniversary is on 11/8 as well

I am not a lawyer, and it's always best to consult an immigration attorney.
