    Interestingly they also have "May 2012 (Coming soon)". Is it something new/update happening at their IT systems? I haven't noticed this before...
    I glanced through the bulletin and it looks like there is no explanation as to why there was no movement even though the demand is so low. Typical!

    Back to Predictions Calculations.

    Summary of forum agreeing to so far in general.

    April VB stalls, true to CO's trend timeline prediction. This might be followed by retrogression later on, and I think GC issuance should be clearing 2008 and FY 2013 should begin around Jan 1st 2009. Some February filers may also get lucky pretty soon if retrogression is not forthcoming soon. 35K SOFAD, with higher DD than we initially expected, as well as higher SO.

    Based on the NVC fee notices, which have gone into 2011, I do feel that in FY 2013, CO will whence artificially move again, and get into this territory. So folks who could not get current in April VB and so on, for this FY 2012, should not get disappointed. This FY we have seen that NVC fee notices are given a lot of importance by DOS to hold true to them. Until whatever date NVC notice has gone out this year, next FY, those dates may get current, very high chance.

    ps: I have moved some recent posts which had potential of being contentious and diverting from thread to General Immigration Discussion thread at

    Trackitt Users PD122008,Shydud,DEC1108,GC200812 with PD in DEC,2008 got approved. Lucky guys.
    I don't understand in what order they are approving these cases but we should not be surprised to see someone with PD in 2009 receiving approval in FY 2012.

    I heared a news from my employer that there are less number of PERMS filed in 2011 due to wage certification issues. There was a case on wage certifications, with that there were very less number of PERMS filed in 2011. If the dates starts moving it should move very fast.

    Thought it would be helpful for 2011 filers.

    Mine is 2009

    What is going on ?? Confused!!!

    Q / Teddy / Nishant / Veni /Spec / Viz /Soggadu and all gurus of peace and harmony shower your input -

    My curiosity has no limits , I called L1 officer they said my case status is- "Card/document " in production same as you see in the website, well now
    the curiosity took next level spoke to L2 officer and got disappointed when the lady told me that my 485 is still pending , she said I can use EAD for jobs ,she also said that it would take 4 - 6 months which would be sometime between mothers and fathers day (exact words what she told me) - I was like what 485 PENDING ??????

    Sorry folks , but what is going on with my case .IS it that their systems are outdated.
    Are L2 officers Adjudicatory officers ?
    Will my call to this L2 officer delay the process ?

    Got SMS on card production twice on March 9 , which is this friday.

    Sorry 8 years and now 8 days I couldn't wait, hope you all understand and give your experiences or anything you have known from past.

    Desperate8,
    I know you are very "desperate" to see your physical cad, but not sure why you called USCIS? I hope L2 office did not punch the correct receipt number.

    Either way you should be receiving Welcome notice and Card/Document production letter(s) in the mail by this weekend, unless your on-line case status changes to something else.
    Not a Legal advice/opinion, please check with good immigration attorney.

    Don't worry. It takes time for various databases to update, as well as CPO and Decision are in fact discrete processes. You are done. I have seen a gap of upto 4 days between CPO and Decision at times.

    My lawyer had called USCIS for status after I had informed him of my CPO, and he had replied back to me saying: USCIS is in the process of approving your green card, I have confirmed that. Note that he did not say your green card is approved. he does have his own liaison at the immigration offices and does not go through the typical customer service we use.

    CPO means it's over, you will get your GC.

    Typical cycle is: CPO (card ordered), CPO (duplicate), Decision, CPO (this one says card has been mailed and will get in 30 days), Decision, CPO (USPS Picked up), CPO (USPS Delivered).

    Here is the deal. When case is approved, you will get approval email and SMS because as soon as Immigration Officer approves the case, your file is sent back to the staging officer, who will update Webmaster (uscis.webmaster@dhs.gov) who in turn will update the CRIS. Staging officer will later once Card production is done or so ordered at some point will update the internal system. L2 Officers system is one of the last that are updated (counter intuitive). You can search forums and there are number of cases where it is apparent that L2 Officer's system is updated 2-3 days after such emails. So it is also advisable to call L2 Officer only after 2-3 days to get tracking number. Anything before that means you will hear update on the case status system is not true and your case is still pending, which is totally false.

    Thanks, my wife and I called USCIS and opened SR to correct those typos, do u think this SR may delay FP notice ?

    And also GURUs I need an advise, I put my case on this forum before my PD is current but now it's current and I filed 485 on Mar 1st let me iterate.

    My PD is Apr 2010 and I live in IL and work in IL too, now our team moving to NY head quarters but same role and same team etc, only location change, when our HR and Attorney discussed about move they r confident that I won't get GC within 180 days and they said I can move to NY now and they can apply AC121 after 180 days. Only issue will be if I get GC withi 180 days then I need to relocate back to IL office but they r saying it is very unlikely that my 485 will be approved in 180 days. What do u guys think ?
    My PD is Apr 20 2010 and EB2-I.

    If no problem with move, should I wait until FP is done and then move, I am little afraid to move before FP and EAD/AP. are approved. Original plan is to move by Mar end but I am thinking to postpone until Apr end thinking FP and EAD /AP will be done.

    Not sure my company moves me back to IL location if my 485 approved in 180 days, what will happen if they don't? I asked them to no to move 180 days from Mar 1st but they r saying why I worry about unlikely situation that I get gC in 180 days, plz advise

    Hello Gurus,
    I am just curious to know if anybody else got below posted kind of RFE. Is it a serious RFE? Original poster (from Trackitt) mentioned that job titles are different between PERM and current (H1B) yet job duities are almost same but on different databases.

    Hi All,
    Got an RFE on March 06th received physical mail in the evening. Still my online case status is in initial review.
    Applied 485 from Desi company.

    Uscis requested the below evidence. To Submit a letter of employment attesting to your
    offer of proposed employment.This letter should be written on the company's offical
    letterhead and cite the date you will begin working, whether the position is
    permanent and full-time, a description of the position, a description of
    the position that you currently hold for the company, and the offered salary.

    My Position in perm labor is different from my current role.
    Applied H1-b extension in Nov 2011 and got approval in Jan 2012. Position,Roles in LCA and
    Perm labor are different.will it be a problem. My attorney sent sample letter matching the roles,
    but different designations.Also included after Upon receipt of permanent residency,
    he will be working as perm Labour position.

    Can anyone let me know does it causes any problem for the RFE response.

    It is probably true that getting a GC in 180 will be tough unless there's wholesale RfEs for the 2008 and 2009 cases. That's very unlikely and then there's the retrogression factor. I would definitely wait until after FP and EAD in hand.

    If I understand your situation correctly, are they suggesting you physically move to NY but as an IL employee and then file the AC21 after 180 days for change in location? Technically a change in location requires a new labor and I140 but I don't know if this is true even after the 485 application. My guess is yes - in case of a RfE on your case.

    This is the standard template for RFE for employment verification letter. Normally you would get if it a new one is not sent as part of the I485 application because the labor and 140 are years old, EVL is part of the mandatory list of documents for 485 filing. If your current and future job responsibilities are similar (Same field like IT, finance) or there has been career progression there is no issue. I got the same RFE because attorney did not send EVL as part of 485 filing.

    I had similar issue before. I got a fake update saying card production ordered in the first week Nov. I called customer serverice after reaching level 2 they told me my spouse address is wrong, all the mails are going to old address and some one returned it. They told me when something like that happen it triggers the CPO email, which is odd.

    Mine atlast got approved in the last week of nov after updating my spouse address. Double check your address if you moved recently.
