My attorney sent the I-485 papers on 7/16 and it reached NSC on 7/17 at 9:36AM. USCIS announcement to accept the applicatons was done on 7/17 evening. Will mine be in the potential rejection pile? Any input will be appreciated.

Before I go any further, please read my disclaimer. The views are soley directed towards local market I am aware of and interests in i.e. GMADA ( Punjab/ Chandigarh area) and in no-way should my views/ opionion be applied to flats in Bombay/ Banglore or Hyd etc. With that said, hear me out.
Their is and last year I first hand expereienced massive infrastrucutral development going on in Delhi as well as in Chandigarh/ Punjab area. Their are supposed to be some Asian or Commonwealth games to happen in 2010. In addition to that, for some great reasons it appears the states closer to national capital had been lacking in basic infrastructural development. Can you believe Bombay-Pune highway is in better conditions than Ludhiana- Delhi, National Highway #1!. FYI: NH-1, is India's historically first highway criss-corssing the country from West to East. So they are playing the catchup game.
With improved basic infrastructure, living and commuting from satillite cities has become much easier than it was 10 yrs ago. Just like sub-urbs here, people want to enjoy life-style that is un-affordable in city centers. The NRI spending clout has wanned in recent years due to rapid development and growth in India. So the babus, politcians, industrialists, cops, Rich middle-class etc are coming in and taking away most of the RE. In addition to that, the basic infrastrucutral development funded by Government is giving a lot of monies to people whose farming land is being acquired to setup airport or industrial/ residentail sectors. These recently cash-rich farmers are not investing back in buying adjoining farm land but also investing in urban properties. You won't believe, but people were compensated quarter million per acre for recent Mohali/ Chd airport expansion. On top of all this, they ever growing population and shrinking available land is organically raising the prices.
With all that going, why would you think RE investment would fail? Plus remember the age-old adage "... Land never fails you." Jats do it!
Your theory that land values never fall in india is not true. Here is the proof. It is a question of affordability. Even if the population explodes and since most of them are poor, there is no justification for such high price appreciation we had in the last 5 years.

�From the peak level, prices started plummeting in 1995. Between 1995 and 2000, the property bubble built on speculations burst and prices declined by almost 30�40 per cent all across India, including Bangalore. There was a slight recovery in 1999-2000 period, riding on the dotcom boom.�

hi october2001,
Did you use PO box as address on I-485? I had heard USCIS does not accept PO box as address in I-485.
Apparently not. If he did, the welcome notice would had got to him at the first place.

Picture will become more clear in MAY when Pres. OBAMA will announce his plan for CIR 2009. If he does then chances of this bill going anywhere is very minimal. Also don't forget that this is just in senate. Same version needs to be pass in House. Amendment to Stimulas package regarding Financial Company cannot hire h1b was relatively easy. It doesnot need bill go through all sub committee and other lengthy process.
I think we should focus only on our main agenda. Green Card. We can closly watch this bill. Even if it advance to subcommitte in Senate ( Hearing and all ) then we can start move on it otherwise we will waste so much of our manpower and energy.
Wouldn't it be their statergy to divert / divide people on H1b / L1b issue so we loose our energy by the time CIR 2009 planing going on. And they can easily add some more real actions in CIR ?

I am still debating whether to call in or to write - but I will definitely do one of the two. I just read the other thread linked to by 'internet' above & thought I would say a couple of things to the losers at alipac who worship racists like tancredo and lou: Don't distort this thread's message - we not are trying to gag Mr.Lou however much I puke everytime I see him spewing venow on 'aliens' -and I sometimes even admire his constant state of outrage and complete lack of shame. He and his worshippers at alipac are a reminder that bigotry may have been outlawed offcially in the 60's but definitely wasn't completely eliminated for posterity -a lesson to all those who forget history and think we have always been 'civilized'; we are the nation we are today because of the tireless work of so many great leaders supported by so many forward thinking Americans of all colors -so lets be clear - we WANT LOU to spew his venom and unvarnished bigotry in Detroit - we WANT alipac to worship such hatemongers so when youngsters wonder how people could have been done horrible acts in the past we can point to you guys and say 'here you go - now know that every generation has its bigots and its the duty of decent folks to oppose them - its a constant never ending fight!'

I know some people came here on H1b last year and were able to get EAD. For them it's OK to wait on h1b and keep the EID in safe locker.
But for those who have been here on H1b for long time with many 1 year extensions, it's good idea to use EAD and make as much money you can or at least try to make. If some thing happens to GC application, I don't think we will have enough time and patience to apply once again and wait for the GC.
If you use EAD and make enogh money by the time GC rejected, go back to home country and take early retirement instead of re-appalying for GC and praying the GOD.

Current US Immigration laws create, long delays for LEGAL, highly skilled immigrants, in getting their permanent residency. These immigrants pay their dues. When you'll address their concerns or you'lll continue to punish them for following law?"

We will ask our friends and colleagues to vote for it.

fyi.. I am an EB2 I candidate and fyi… I did not port but I will not stand in the way of people wanting to get out of the clutches of those employers who act cheap.
Please read back and point out where have I expressed my discontent for date porting?
Also, I would not stand in their way but I am trying to express the fact that they themselves chose to agree to the terms in the offer letter. Let me clear out that it stands for every candidate who wanted to apply in a higher priority group be it EB3 or EB2.

I am not aware of anyway to check if money order is enchased or not, because, I think, you have to pay money upfront when you buy money order. However, I can be wrong.
Why didn't you just send the check?
Absolutely there is a way to track if a money order has been cashed. The customer service # and order # for the money order are usually listed on the bottom stub which the buyer keeps. Just call the customer service #, plug in your order number and the system should tell you if it has been cashed or not.

Very sorry to hear your case. Based on what you said, no one in other cars were disabled or had life threatening injuries. So it is unlikely that the Judge would grant that much money from the Insurance company or you.
You can always file for bankruptcy if worst situation comes. There is no shame in it in such circumstances.

People who can vote Yes to your question are determined people and you can not find many of them here because they do not waste time reading or posting messages like me and you(except leaders of IV who are also doing some thing concrete). They are busy doing some thing to achieve something. Most of lazy people who can not work hard and are not determined to achieve any thing will be reading your question and will be voting NO.

USCIS Announces Revised Processing Procedures for Adjustment of Status Applications (41KB PDF)
July 17, 2007 - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that, beginning immediately, it will accept employment-based applications to adjust status (Form I-485) filed by aliens whose priority dates are current under the July Visa Bulletin, No. 107. USCIS will accept applications filed not later than August 17, 2007.
I agree with you. USCIS withdrew VB#108 (revised Visa bulletin which came out on July,2nd).So, They should accept our applications, if they were properly filed but the update didnt clearly mention that they accept applications which were filed in the first week of July.So, there is still some ambiguity exists.

Paid membership irrespective of the amount of payment will drive away the people. With all dues respect to IV, there are defintely other places where you can get good(if not better) information for free.
Strength of online communities is always the members...the higher the members the better.
Having said that, I kind of disagree with the punishing the wrong answers with a $5.00...most of the answers in these forums are people experiences and they are not legal professionals. People will not be able to share the experiences openly/freely. I think, it's the responsibility of the questioner to pick the right answer and donate for the value that he/she deems the question is worth.
My thoughts...anyways..

I totally agree with the reasoning logiclife presented.
Its very important that we (legal immigrants - especially work based GC applicants) take this cause seriously with some action or contributions. Following points have convinced me more:
1. Large IT companies have acted dissapointingly as far as our cause goes. They are ready to pay $85 or $100 or more for us as consultants but wont take up our cause. Most have increasingly decided to hire H1s as consultants rather than hiring H1s directly and even when they do hire H1s they are reluctant to file green cards. Some will file green cards just to keep us hooked - but wont petition on our behalf to make the process more efficient. IT companies used to be our biggest supporters - which we seem to be loosing as time goes by. (There are a few exceptions of course - not all companies are just happy to exploit us and not help us).
2. Since the terrorist attacks most states and cities along with the federal government have systematically erroded privileges (sometimes even basic privileges) granted to legal immigrants. They have been successful since the mentality of the nation has turned negative towards new immigrants. Of course this has been done very efficiently in sublimal ways by mounting hurdles for us. One stark example - Drivers licenses for immigrants can only be issued in some states at few select DMV (or BMV) locations (hidden behind a logic that not all BMV centers are well equipped to handle the security checks now required to be conducted on immigrants before granting IDs). This is ridiculous - we are expected to work but it will be increasingly difficult to do what we are expected to (privlege to drive is an example).
I am sure folks can add more points. These points make me feel as if our cause is not worth worrying about for even fair minded residents - we are a forgotten lot. Therefore, we must raise our voice.

Hi letstalklc
Thanks for your reply.
"SBI will update only once in the morning" Just wanted know the morning of India or USA ?
Ok, I just did myself and man you are RIGHT.
Today's exchange rate is [USD 4001 10000 48.07]
and I got ($$$ X 48.07) - 25.
Many thanks for the knowledge.
I am not sure if ICICI also does the same, because I too have stooped using their service. And you know what, I called when once when I had a very bad exchange rate given. I said that I will quit using your service and surprise surprise they didn't care. And ,now, So Do I.

I might be wrong, but I think EB2 India came only uptil April 2004.
And the next month (July) EB2 India became current. That is when visa numbers were issued to already pcoessed Sep 2004 cases and approved.
