You can send your application as long the date stays current. You can act based on the VB that comes out for the next month. If dates get retrogressed in next month bulletin, you will have chance to file till last date of that month.Originally Posted by GreenReddy
Hi Pdmay2008,
You mean i can apply till 31st Dec 2011 since my PD will be effect from Dec 1st 2011.
My Wife is in INDIA and will be here on Dec 5th, so after the medicals and all i am planning to apply around 15 Dec 2011.
Just want to check with gurus that its safe to do that. If not i have to prepone her trip.
Hi GreenReddy,
USCIS should get your documents on or by Dec 31st. Incase for January bulletion the dates moves further or stay as it is and do not go back prior to yours then you will have additional 31 days (of January) to file your papers. You will get to know that once the next bulletin is out in second week of December. Thanks
Thanks RRRRRR
Guru's one more question,
Is it better to apply together along with my dependent or can we both apply individually with a gap of 10 days.
Which one is a better option??
Hi Frenzyrider,
I am in exactly same boat. Need to goto India on behalf of my company and get my H1B stamped. I will be current as of Dec 1. Hope I do not run into any problems with my H1B stamping.
I got the check list of docs from my attorney.. I have a DWI offense in NJ in 2007 on my arrest record.It isnt a criminal offense. He asked me to submit a "certified copy" of the court disposition letter. I do have the original disposition letter with the court seal.
Does the certified copy mean the original court letter or a notarized copy of the same?
It is better to apply together.. If you apply individually, then normally USCIS asks for more document such as your I-485 receipt and more solid marriage proof such as joint income-tax return etc..
Does this mean, folks who are current in the Dec bulletin can send in the 485 application betwen Dec 1 and Dec 31?
If you are not in a hurry to stamp your H1B, Please wait for EAD and AP and then go to India That is the safest thing, now adays we will never know the result of H1B stamping especially if you are with a consulting company.
Good Luck to You and family.
Thanks to all of you.Thanks to all those conveying congratulations. I still cannot beleive it is true.Leaving for my medicals in a few minutes.
This forum has been a godsend,cannot state in words the guidance this forum had given in terms of the opaque gc process.
Too emotional right now ...Thank you all and I pray rest of the 2008 folks get an chance to file EAD soon as well.
That is correct you cannot submit your application before Dec 1st although you get extra time if in the next bulletin dates stay where there are or they move forward. you will get to know that in second week of December.
Q/Teddy -
I was an early follower/participant on the original thread on **. I had always believed in the analysis, going as far back as VDLRao's calculations. I am finally current in this bulletin and just wanted to say that you guys have done a great job in bringing clarity to the date movements and the actual numbers involved.
Q - you have also managed to maintain a reasonable environment here given how bitter the tone usually gets with immigration related discussions. Kudos and keep it sane.
I am not sure what went between ** and you but I think you both have your own place in this world (them with advocacy and you with analysis). Note: I do routinely defend the much-reviled "predictions/calculations" there, so had to balance it out here :-)
Anyway, just wanted to check in and say hello.
Here I am with a PD of 3/15/2008...truly on the edge. I KNOW after reading the visa bulletin and the numerous posts on Q blog that I'm NOT current come Dec 1. Funnily, my company lawyer insists I am current and should definitely file in Dec. Somebody told me if I do that, checks would be cashed and application would be denied.
Here's what I'm thinking of doing - get everything ready and wait for Dec 10 (Jan bulletin). If dates move and I'm really current, I file on Jan 1 2012. If not, we'll see.
BTW, I've been trying to post after registering for weeks. Q sorted everthing for me today. Even though my first post is all about my situation, I do want to thank all of you guys...Q, Teddy, Spec, Nishant, Veni...and many others. I've been reading the blog everyday since I chanced upon it, it is such a breath of fresh air! You guys absolutely rock and have managed to make sense out of the vaguest information available. Thank you all.
Hi immitime,
If I could I would but how can I tell my employer that the business trip needs to be postponed because of my GC process. I am not in a consulting company and going to India as a business development manager.
I am PWMB filed on July 1st for me and my wife.....Got receipts in 20days, finger print notice received on aug 1st for aug 30th...got my EAD and AP in 45 days...
during finger printing they said I should receive my GC in another 45 days...
Its been almost 4 months now and status is still in Initial stage...My application is from TCS and current processing time is Mar 6th...
guys is there way to expedite the processing or we need to wait till processing times to reach till july 1st for them to look at my case...?
My PRiority date is 03/23/2011 , what are the best predications ? Will i be lucky to get current by 2013 March or it would be longer than that ?
Guys its difficult to respond to all, but once again hearty congratulations to all those current!
pbuckeye thanks for your courtesy. But most importantly congratulations! I absolutely remember you. It has been a pleasure. ** basically banned me and then spread rumours about me. Anyway that's not important. The clearance of EB2IC backlog is paramount. And to the extent people feel that we helped them even a little bit is satisfying.
gcseeker, again ...it makes it worth to see genuine reactions from people. I really wish people continue to come here and help each other.
ChampU you should be mentioned our hall of fame!! Certified means notarized in my opinion. But I may be wrong.Thanks to all of you

Pedro - the registration itself allows a fairamount of annonymity. So i think its fair for people to register if they want to post something. As per Kanmani's thread - or anybody else who wants to attrack attention - a small piece of advice. People are always driven by self-interest. And nothing wrong in that. If they are not participating .... its not as important or valuable to them. Don't take it personally. That's just the bottomline. A case in point - we have so many other sub-forums - poetry - donation - enterprenuer etc .... but the traction is here. The reason is simple - people really care about understanding when they are going to get their GC!! Now that explains why we do see some traction to advocacy!
As long as your date remains current (which I assume will remain current) you can file. I do not think that dates will or should retrogress from where they are today. Only if they move beyond Apr or May I would expect tehy would retrogress.
FrenzyRider, H1 is dual intent visa. There is no reason why they should NOT stamp her solely based on her GC application. If they decline it will be because of different reason. Not because of her GC application.
qbf stop pause and listen. 485 is something that you can file on your own!!! You DO NOT need your employer for that. Alright?? Just do it!
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.
Use the info at your risk. None of this is legal advice.

Praying doesn't get you GC. I'm sure you know that.
In today's world, you don't get anything unless you work for it. Take a day off and try to meet with the local congressmen and/or the senator. If you can't do that, praying won't help much...it's a good thing though.

Thanks RRRRRR, That helps.I did not know this simple fact but it helps in my favor.Even though I am all set with the docs...my company takes around 3-4 weeks to process lawyers payment and the timing works well.
On another note, I hope CO will be generous in the next few bulletins so that folks can atleast get their EAD's...partial freedom I guess.
Gurus,
Pardon me if this question has been asked before.
What is the approx ETA to get the green card if I apply for I485 on Dec 1st.
My PD is Feb 27th 2008.
Once again, congrats all who got current in this bulletin. Got my medical exam done today. It was a breeze!
It is amazing how fast we have moved from a calculation/prediction mode to a primarily "how-to" mode. Nothing wrong with that - I guess the audience profile is changing fast with the old guard (PWMBs, Late 2007 PDs) moving on and new batch (2008/2009 PDs) becoming more active. We are building a good amount of knowledge base here and considering that the search here is not very effective, we need something like a Hall-of-Fame thread to archive posts with valuable information - I am aware of the different threads for 485 etc - but they also tend to fill up with chatter.
I have no problem with people asking questions - I myself asked one recently and was helped immensely by the board. However, please also consider logging in and helping others as well. If you have two posts six months apart and both of them are questions - then that does not reflect well on your contribution to the forum. I am sure people will be more inclined to help if you have helped others in the forum in the past.

Srinivas - Do you remember how many days it took between filing for FP and getting the EAD/AP approval notice/card. Thanks in advance
Q - I was under the assumption that the sponsors take care of maintanance. If not please let us know, we can do our part to contribute. I think it wont be a issue with other folks... we can even stream line and add more futures if needed.
Congratulations to everyone who became current this VB!!!! Be on your feet between now and your file reaches CIS. I really mean it....
It's nice to see the tone of the thread changing from prediction/calculations to 'How to' mode. Just as seasons change...
We must have a hall-of-fame and also preserve some of these pages so that we can revisit the memory-lane, may be in 10 years?
Thanks again Q, I know you are shelling out of your pocket for this website.
