Do you also need to have medical examination results ready when you file for 485 or they are sent in later?
Thanks

Alright guys, I cannot tell you how excited I am to report that i got a call this morning from my attorney and my online case status also states that Card Production was ordered for my case!!!
After 8 long years.....i finally have been approved for permanent residency. After 7 years, i will finally, with peace of mind, go back to India to visit my family. Thanks to IV, everyone's help on these forums for helping me keep my sanity over the past 2 years....
After 15 years in the US, I will finally have my green card in hand soon.

why would EB2 retrogress to before 2003? It was at 2003 for a long time (8 months?). The only people still with PD of EB2 2002 are the ones just getting out of BEC, there cant be too many of them...
There may be some EB2 Indians with PD in 2002 and 2003 (with traditional non-RIR LC) got out of BEC recently. If 1,500 Indian non-RIR LCs (with EB2 PD 2003)certified recently from BEC, that is sufficent to move the date back to 2003 for India again. Having said that, it is all prediction. No one knows, except USCIS. My prediction is just based on the magnitude of 485s (800K) filed recently, as is has all kind of composition in huge manitude, apart from so many 485s already pending due to name check.

Please read this post by gcnirvana for all those feeling left out:
There are so many 'Thank you' threads running and its hard to keep track of everything. Anyways, I posted this elsewhere and am proud to post it again here. Read on....
I was just curious as to how many from Core Team will benefit from today's news. So I looked at the core team's GC details and here is the summary:
1. 8 out of 12 Core Team Members WILL NOT BENEFIT from today's news.
2. Because 6 of them are stuck in BEC
3. 2 of them are in the final stages of their GC.
But still they fought for this cause and never ever felt 'Why should I care'! Tears came running down when I looked at the details. You are just awesome. Though I am thankful today...I am thankful for the day I found this site and am thankful to god almighty for giving me an opportunity to know you all and work with you guys.
I also sincerely hope and wish that you all will get out of the mess you are in right now and we are with you till the end.

I recommend to read the book "Who moved my cheese?"
Who moved my cheese?: an amazing way to deal with change in your work and in your life [Book] (http://www.google.com/products/catalog?hl=en&biw=1276&bih=580&q=who+moved+my+cheese&um=1&ie=UTF-8&cid=2733430461336083287&sa=X&ei=uaaOTeqgKefp0gGj-pm-Cw&ved=0CD4Q8wIwAg#)
May be you should move your lazy Butt little bit and do little more home work. Do not expect spoon feeding and you are not a kid.
hahaha don't worry i am...i was merely identifying the various small things that can be done to garner more support for IV...for starters being nicer to people asking questions about IV :)
By the way IV is selling something ...Hope! ...Hope that advocacy will clear the backlog
and it does need to convince new people that this has a real chance to work

Yes, I know. I have availed of this facility many times and have also suggested many other fellow members. But unfortunately there are no attorney calls today :(
_____________________________
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
what the law is; is that greencard is for future position. who you are working with/where you live, what your status is; is totally irrelevant.
the company is probably advertising the position in california and that is where the job opportunity is. If it doesn't allow for travel then company is saying that is where you are going to permanently work.
Where you are currently doesn't matter within the law.
however, in the last few months; department of labor in audit requests has stated that job opportunity is at xx location but person address is at xxx and to explain the discrepancy. I haven't seen this type of query recently but your lawyer is probably thinking about getting this type of query.

You said you will post update in general forum after month in donor forum. Where is that initiative ? Still it is locked. Is IV only interested in donors only ?

I went to my congresswomen's office on may 6th and provided details of my pending 485. Their office called me today that our cases were approved on May 5th and cards have been mailed!! They also told me to contact NSC to get tracking no. I called NSC and and got the USPS tracking no's. No change in status online at USCIS, no email or SMS from USCIS.

Bring the border control, and add in tough enforcement on business that hire illegals - and then you still will have to address the people who are still here illegally. It may not be 12 million, but millions will still remain. That issue has to be addressed. The current president has said that they are to be a given a "path to legality" - pay the fine (yes, it may be trivial in our standards, but not theirs) and get in line. It is not blanket amnesty either.
Yes tough border control and employer monitoring should be there. Progress on the second is improving , a bit slowly.
Yes I am ok for a path to legality, but from my previous post, only if all of them are accounted for and have background check, get all their finger prints, retina scan, and at least 1/2 would get deported with criminal backgrounds.
We cannot have 4 million legalized and 3 million criminals hiding in the background. Also as CIR says only after the border is 100% secure, else you will have 10s of 1000s jumping the border everyday when this bill is passed.
Well the illegals kids also already got citizenship/amnesty in the millions.
What reform was needed first? immigration reform before health reform? lets fix the problems of the foreigners first, and then lets take care of the dying?
I actually meant reform to improve un-employment was needed first. What good is medical insurance if there's only $100 in the bank. Well anyway they seem to have exhausted all their resources, bailouts.
absolutely! wouldn't you? they play the game of leverage and we would do the same.
They have leverage only until they are deported! Yeah I agree, but its more a hallmark of underworld, that many are entwined with, rather than a civilized society.
The sad thing that separates our community from theirs is that they stand up for their own people irrespective of wealth. Take our community - of the hundreds who got the green card/citizenship - how many stay to help us? Why are the older generation of Indian immigrants fighting the new comers?
Agreed. Also there are 13.5 Asian Americans in the US, enough of a vote bank. All EB3s are at 2005. Mexico is at priority date 2001, which is worse than India, China. There are about 30 million Mexican immigrants, in the US, probably 15 million legally present. Most immigrant in EB3 from Europe and around the world are also affected.
There are probably about 30-40 million people or more Citizens/ GCs/immigrants , from retrogressed countries in the US..
I haven't seen citizens, GCs in large numbers supporting our cause. Would they rather see the country brimming with laborers?

One of my close friends is considering running the DC 10 miler with me. She never ran or walked a race before. Hopefully she will decide to atleast walk before the end of the day. That will be good for both of us
I partnered with my aunt to walk the SF 5K as well. now I really need to partner with someone who can run the Houston 1/2 marathon with me.
Hi Santb1975,
We are working up to it, and either GoIV or myself may partner with you to run/walk the Houston Half. Working on it now :) will keep you posted!

GCPerm, Saralayar, spicy_guy, freedom_fighter and others ........ dedicate your time (30 or 60 minutes everyday) on green card backlog issues. Help us all in this process.
Things are not as easy as it seems......Writing letters alone does not solve problems - and reading pappu's post - monthly trips to DC, meeting with (dont know who all), raising funds, having lobbyists -- all of these are things that take up time. IV has already said that it cannot take it on unless they achieve the primary goal of clearing backlogs.
Think about it, gcperm is the only guy who has met with Schumer's office. That's it. Even he has no idea on how many more senate offices he has to meet....... Or how deals are cut to get any legislation considered............. I read the Citizenship doc - nothing in it is viable - everything in it only shows the total lack of knowledge regarding laws.
US in never going to adopt point based system - for green card or citizenship. Every other recommendation past 4 relates to point based system - so chuck them out. As for recommending the form and the fee for it - and actually putting the price on it - again shows the lack of thought.
The third and most important one, you are asking for these benefits for employment based category - things never work that way. Every group of immigrants will ask the same benefits or if they cannot get it, they will fight tooth and nail so that no nobody else gets it too.
Congratulations for getting your green cards. Stay and help out the members who are yet to get their green cards. IV am sure would take on the issue of citizenship once it has achieved its primary goal.....
