I have question about order in which I-485 are processed-
If a person with PD 10 Jan 2009 files on 25 Feb 2012 and person with 20th Dec 2009 files on 5th Feb 2012...who gets GC first? is it FIFO?
I remember Veni answered a similar question just few days back but could not locate.
Processing of application is in order of received date.
Allocation of spillover visas is artificially ordered by priority date, due to retrogression, and then movement in small batches when some SO is available, the length of the batch depends on what DOS feels will be completely satisfied (they know this because of accurate demand data and inventory and estimated SO that they want to release in that month), this technique is employed by DOS. For categories which are current, you don't have to worry about all this, but for categories which feed on spillover, this need arises.
This is my opinion on this. Let's wait for others replies.

I am not a lawyer, and it's always best to consult an immigration attorney.
Looks like a India EB2 November filer has got his/her green card! NSC, PD July 31 2007.....

Hi,
Received my FP notices today. But they mention only 485 and nothing about 765. Do we get another FP notice for 765 (EAD)?? I have heard from friends that they have received one single notice for both 485 and 765. Any thoughts?

I am seeing mixed bag on trackitt for this. Basically 485 really needs FP, and FP on EAD/AP is optional for the service centers. I wouldn't worry about it, just go get it done. And once they have your FP, due to linking by A-number, they can use it anywhere they want for you.

Thanks Champ(nice name!). Yes, missing the 2007 boat to promised land, added a bag of salt to the raw wound of GC wait, especially after noticing that Atlanta Labor office was auditing a ton of PERMs at the time for no apparent reason, while the Chicago office was merrily approving PERMs in a few days each; some cases got approved in one day at Chicago during this interesting time! Went through a range of emotions during this wait. Initially there was Suspension of belief about missing the 2007 boat, then bewilderment that the boat is not coming back anytime soon, followed by resignation to fate that things will work themselves out and better to focus on job at hand, and then finally settled into a state of indifference about the whole immigration process. So the whole approval thing maybe elated me for perhaps 5 minutes and then I was back doing what I was always doing before my GC got approved anyways!
Thanks Leo! Anything to help buddy
Good luck to both of you! Your GC will get approved sooner or later. Enjoy!!
Cheers.

Hey Zen/Sun/Kanmani,
All this lawyer fee is waste. There is nothing for lawyer to do. Paralegal and Company lawyer sit at same workplace as mine and I worked with them. I filled all forms (10 in all, 3 for me and my wife and 2 each for kids). They reviewed it and attached EVL plus supporting docs.. that is it. Nothing gr8 immigration lawyer stuff for 485 filing.
In our company, lawyer is not immigration specific as he is chief company counsel. He and a paralegal does everything end to end.
After all this, I could have done it all with just an EVL from my company. But it does not cost me to use my company lawyer and so just followed the way other co-workers did. So if your company is not forcing you for a specific attorney then pick the cheapest one.
My company handled my cost and for dependents they paid but will deduct from salary.
I was just trying to say that you dont need a big lawyer to file 485 .. hope it helps
Sorry for the delay in response, was traveling for most of the day. My PD is Sept'07 and i filed my 485 application at TSC on 5th December. Got an email from USCIS on 3rd Jan that my EAD is approved and on 7th Jan i received cards. Curiously, my fingerprinting happened on 6th Jan.
Can you please guide me?
My PD is 7th Feb 2007. 140 is approved and I-485 was filed on 22nd Dec 2011. FP is scheduled for 2nd Feb.
On Dec 30th Dec 2011, my company was acquired by another company.
Do I need to amend I-140?

Hi Guys- couple of questions:
1) the fee for i1485 form and for fingerprinting should be added and inlcuded as one amount in the check? or separate ? $985 and $80 separately or one check for $1070?
2) also- if i am the only person filing for aos, do i need to file the form for affidavit of support form i-134?
thanks,
Affidavit of support/paystubs are needed specifically for spouse or dependent, But assistant to lawyers at lawyers office ask for all forms. But if you single you do not need I134.
And make sure you go through all documents very well and dont just depend on lawyers office.

Hi,
