Teddy, big congratulations to you and your family. Your positive attitude and sincere advice has helped many people in this forum and in the previous forum where Q started the predictions thread. Very Happy for you and wish you and your famlily a very happy and prosperous life.

This is what I had copied from one of your posts last year and used to read it whenever I was frustrated, seeing you mentioning that folks till Mar 2008 will be cleared used to give me lot of peace of mind.

Friends its a little early but lets analyze the current situation.
Realistically I think we may get 30K SOFAD instead of 33K. Iam expecting minor movement only in September.
Now with this said ~ 5K preadjudicated cases will be left. In addition to that there will be 6K porting and 4K PWMB.
So even upto the point of 01-AUG-2007 there is 15K demand. Now since there are 5K preadjudicated cases there maybe no urgency to move the dates early on in the year.
The next intake may happen anytime after end of Q1 to as late as May 2012.
One point to not however is that the guiding principle of any intake would be this year’s SOFAD, so if it is 30K the next intake will not be in the excess of 35K.
Now we know that 15K is ready there till 01-AUG-2007, so realistically till the end of 2007 they will get 15K with Q1 2008 serving as a buffer.
I believe if the next intake happens in a timely manner there is a good chance that everyone in 2007 will have their GC in hand by Sep 2012,
Q1 2008 folks are a little borderline right now because we may see 30K SOFAD instead of 33K so this effectively translates to a deficit of 6K.
However let’s wait and watch and see where exactly the September bulletin lands us. I don't think that fresh intake will happen in September 2011.
If the timely intake happens next years range will be 01-JAN-2008 to 31-MAR-2008.

Hey Nishant,
From my direct friends experience it is not legal to make laminated copy of such documents (like green card/ ead). I might be wrong..
Here is the situation:
This happened couple of year back. He was flying to his job location like every week and during security check he placed his wallet in the bin and forgot to pick it up and left towards gate. Security people kept the wallet aside. When my friend went back and asked for wallet they said they want to talk to him. They suspected that he some illegal alien as he has laminated GC. Finally he called his family and sent few documents (not sure what docs) and security people let him. This took almost 3 hours for him.
Lesson that my friend learnt that day is not to laminate the docs like GC. This happened with my friend so this not a friends- friend story..i am not sure if all the TSA people at airport are so strict.

this is my strategy.

I made color copy of the GC, front and back, cut it out, and stuck them back to back to make a fake card, and then got it laminated at fedex kinkos for $1.25. I carry this with me. Of course if needed to, you should present it as a copy, do not claim it to be real GC, that's obvious

If I go near border places (like San Diego), or if I will be making a trip far away from home, like say going to NY, or Seattle, or visiting grand canyon in AZ, I will carry actual GC with me.

My case transferred from TSC to NSC where my primary spouse got approved 485.

Now latest status shows , my 485 is processed at a USCIS office .... dont know if this means a local office or the service center . Anyways, after spending 3.5 months already at TSC and then being transferred , not sure if my clock starts again. Hoping for the best .

[Eb2_Dec07]

Congratulations Teddy and all others who got greened.
