As per my knowledge, one can't file I485 application until and unless priority date is current. How come this reporting is showing 485 application count of EB2 after Aug 2007 priority dates.
As per FAQ's (RED text in above post) these numbers are based on priority dates
These applicants might have married someone from a non India/China country and thus even though they were born in India, can file I485 due to a different country of chargeability

What are you showing hunter here? American hipocracy & bigotry in full light? How is your culture any good with what you have posted?
Oh, did that comment on Brahma and Saraswati incest hurt you? tsk, tsk, tsk.. too bad.
Well, you should have read and responded to the comment before that before pretending to be hurt about my response. I didn't start it.
If you are ready to make such bigoted comment, NEVER expect that you can get away that. Believe me, internet is limitless and I can shovel dirt about India in this forum, if I want to with a google search(which is not my intent here)

Hope everything will turn out good for you. I don't know faith of our applications.
I�m July 2nd filer application reached to NSC at 9.1 am and signed by R Mickle
Till date my checks have not been cashed. When I Called service center yesterday they gave me Receipt Number for I-485 (LINXXXXXX) but again she told me that�s its Invalid then she put me on hold and checked something then see verified my address, Social security number also My Attorney�s Name and address. After confirming this information she told me Receipt Number of I-485 is yours but its Void in our system let me check it online and online it shows case received and pending.
Now she said its weird its showing Valid in online system and in our internal system its Invalid. Then she asked me did you file 131 and 765 along with this I said yes then she said let me check it and found nothing.
She has created one service request for me and asked me to wait another 45 days.
Meanwhile I told this matter to my Attorney and he told me not getting receipt is normal and I could have asked you to wait till October 15�th but you are there in the system and why they have stopped processing you applications looks strange to me also applications is not been rejected. So he told me that he will write letter to USCIS director to investigate this issue and assured me that as long as we are in their system so don�t have to worry but he told me that if Director don�t respond in one month�s time then we will go to court but he is optimistic that situation may not go to that.
If anyone of you in similar situation please let me know.

Would appreciate if you could please let us know how you contacted Napolitano.
I dont know what else I can do to have them look at my case, I have tried every possible avenue.
Since you got a call from USCIS, I think its shouldnt be too long before your wife gets her GC.

Here is the response I got from my Senator in TX. Looks like atleast this senator is aware of what's going on. Is there anyway the leaders at immigrationvoice.org could arrange a meeting with him in Washington to see if he can influence our cause.
Dear Dr. XXXXX:
I regret that my reply to your letter has been delayed. I strive to respond to each constituent in a timely fashion, but a technical error in an e-mail system used by the Senate prevented my reply from reaching you before today. The input that you and other Texans provide is valuable to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond without further delay.
Thank you for contacting me about delays in securing immigration visas. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this matter.
In the wake of customer complaints and concerns voiced by elected officials, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has informed my office that it is committed to ensuring six-month processing times for all applications and petitions by the close of 2006. Though the USCIS security check process is time consuming, USCIS reforms will not compromise national security in any way. USCIS officials reported recently that streamlining efforts, together with additional resources from Congress, have enabled it to reduce the backlog for many applications. Officials are confident they will achieve their goal for all applications. I applaud this commitment to customer service and look forward to a time when all who seek to visit or immigrate to America receive a prompt decision.
It has also come to my attention that once USCIS approves a petition, many individuals must wait lengthy periods of time because of visa shortages. I recently voted to support a measure that would recapture unused visas from prior years a move which would reduce the overall waiting period for visas. I will also continue to advocate for additional opportunities for legal immigration. Our immigration laws must not favor illegal immigration, but must instead reward those who comply with the rule of law.
I appreciate having the opportunity to represent Texans in the United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXXXX

Either employers think EAD is the student EAD which needs to be converted to H1 or they are ignorant.
My suggestion would be to not bring it up....and if it does come up tell the employer that you have work authorization and that the employer doesn't need to do anything. If that doesn't work, then someone is actively discriminating...

Everyone knows that increasing green card numbers will be best solution. In that also if we ask too much we may not get anything. Double the number of annual Gc plus exclude dependents will be enough for reducing retrogession but that may not eliminate. But waiting period of 2 to 3 years can be reasonable for most people. I am sure one more chance will come for increasing H1b numbers. That time we can try for GC increase also.
But I am supporting the flower Campaign for protesting the VB mess up though it will not solve the problem
You seem to be pretty good at analyzing faults in others' ideas and thoughts . What are your suggestions to acheive releif from retrogression.

I saw this link Murthy's email too. The total pre-adjudicated cases in the chart is matching with the total in the document. Well now there are more un-answered questions:
1. Does all other pending 485 include employment based ? If yes what % are employment based ? Obviously we do not have any country specific data on these.
2. Is there any way to know whether individual case is pre-adjudicated or not ?
USCIS has fooled us again. No good statistical analysis can be done on incomplete/inaccurate data. I am going from hopeful to hopeless again. I am EB2-I Feb 2006.
Thanks a lot for staying on top of this and posting your analysis.
This trend chart/volume chart certainly represents both family and employment base applications. Following is my thought process now with keeping both trend chart and teh worksheet in this thread chain together.
(1) In Worksheet USCIS claims total EB pending case 233816 by December 2009. Yet we
have not reached to December 2009. Trend chart claims total pending 279031
including family base applications. Since famaily to EB ratio is unknown I would
consider worksheet's figure as authentic for pending EB based 485 cases. One practical
clue for inclining to do this as I know USCIS has approved tons of green card in
parental family category. Many of my friends have got GCs for their parents in a
relatively very small time frame - 1 year
(2) I remember somehow that out of 775000 485 applications in October 2007, there were
around 300000 application were from EB category based on USCIS's published
notification ( I tried to find it on internet but some how I do not see it now). If
somebody has a more solid proof this stats from which we can derive nearly accurate
ratio we may consider those stats. But as I mentioned in point 1 USCIS seems to have
cleared more family bassed 485 with comparison to EB categories I would just
assume for now that 60% preadjudicated cases and "awaiting customer action"
and "New receipts" are from family category and 40 % are from EB category. Total
preadjudicated cases per trend chart is 178418. 40% of that around 71367 - for the
sake of easiness let's make it 71500. This way "awaiting cutomer action" cases for EB
categories could be around 18-19000. "New receipt" cases could be around 18000
roughly.
3) Now total EB based 485 cases by July 2009 could be = Pending cases + preadjudicated
cases + cases awaiting customer action + new receipts = 233816 + 71500 + 18000 +
18000 = 341316. Just the sake for simplicity in assumption we may consider total EB
based 485 workload with USCIS around 350000.
4) "In general" the first lot who will come out from this gutter is "preadjudicated" then the
lot "awaiting customer action" then the "pending ones" and then " new receipts"
Now based on my talk with USCIS guy I can state that USCIS generated RFEs innear past for many cases as apart of preadjudication process, particualrly for may AAC21 usage related cases - Asking for proof of employment in the same job classification. According to that talk if USCIS gets required response to the RFE then USCIS settle that case in a "preadjudicated" shelf. In other words the AC21 guys who got the RFE - responded and case is resumed - most of them should be on "preadjudicted" shelf. If we call USCIS generally let us know that whether our particualr case is preadjudicted or not.Lucky one may get that reply in first call and somebody may have to try calling multiple times.

Whats the fee of INR 155 for? Nothing of that sort was mentioned to me by the consular officer. He just asked to submit the passport. But if you do have to submit, should I get it in form of a receipt from HDFC as I did for the visa appointment or just cash?
Yes, you can only deposit your passport at the western VFS locations only if you are interviewing at Mumbai. In my case I gave my passport to a responsible friend of mine in Mumbai who in turn was able to deposit the PP with INR 155 as the fee to VFS.
You can not give the passport directly to the consulate, they will not even accept it as that makes them liable for the passports.

Guys, we have already seen the Dec visa bulletin and there is absolutely no change in processing dates so its even more important to fix the AC21 issue ASAP. With this huge delay in 485 approval, more and more people will force to get into AC21 and will see more denials.
So please please, send letters.

Maybe we can use the H-1 B reform bill, to recapture unused visas during the last many years. Make H-1 B tough but at the same time, release those green card numbers. Carrot and Stick approach.
Guys,
This is one of the key reasons why we are not successful in our mission. All we can do is "lets kill H1/L1 so I can get GC", "lets not worry about EB3 as long as my EB2 is fine!". The only way we can make any progress is to stay united. Lets not try to find carrots that would really be sticks on people who are also part of this cause.

May I ask your immigration status. I believe you already got your GC and roaming around here just beat shit out of others. Each and every of your post is convincing me in that direction only. You would be happy to see the H1 guys thrown out from here. So it will increase your demand and you can make more money. What kind of person you are. is there any difference between you and anti-immigrant. Or are you that coming with Indian name to make fool out of us.
If you dont believe me, you read all your posts again. You are always talking about banning desi consultant. You are more than welcome for that. But you did you even thought about a second for guys who are genuine and unfortunate to work for them.
People are already stressed out. If you got your GC please go-away and enjoy your freedom.
Probably a labor sub guy who got his GC by accident and now can't land a job due to a non-existent skillset. Now how do you market yourself when you are the crappiest product: get rid of the competition and be the only show in town. :rolleyes:
