This is very interesting. Please keep us posted on future developments like when you get your card. Lot of us have been debating about RD and ND. The fact that you have got an RFE on your 485 application is also interesting. It could really be your GC.
Have you recently applied for you EAD? They might have approved your EAD and updated your status for the 485 app by mistake. Just trying to over analyze the situation :). Anyway keep your fingers crossed till you get your physical cards.
Earlier today I got an email from USCIS that said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Card production ordered.
On June 29, 2008, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."
Then by the evening my I-485 said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.
On June 30, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."

After searching on google, i found almost 20 cases on first 2-3 pages itself indicating the denial notice and MTR.
I think they are just sending denials to put us in another limbo.... Its going to be the hardest and longest 10-15 days of my life........
Please don't get too frustrated. If they denied your application by error, they will have to approve it when you file for MTR.
By the mean time, you may want to get in touch with a reputable lawyer who has experience in such issues. I can suggest you few if you really need one.
Remember - if you have never been out of status, never committed a serious crime, and all your documents are in good shape, it will be hard for the USCIS to deny a MTR.
Please PM me if you need some reputable lawyers' names.

I work for the fortune 500 company, fragomen filed my case very last minute (just a day my 5th year finishes). I do not know why they did like that though the HR initiated my GC long time back. I found many of my friends also had similar issues. They really test your patience. One of my friend's case, they have totaly screwed up by filing last minute.

There are always exception in the constitution. For example for US president and Vice President only US Born citizens are eligible. In a way you can argue that is also discriminatory.
If anyone thinks country quota is violating law he can easily challenge that. Green card process is not by merrit. Labor and I140 process is not selecting best candidate. That is just checking whether the position exist and the person is eligibe for that. All of the eligible candidates will get. If no country quota then FIFO process will be applied. It is just cutting the line and not selecting best candidates. So company or country will not have any impact on who gets green card first
It seems changing country quota is difficult. But if cap for GC is increased and exempt dependents then no need to remove the country quota
If law is not consistent with constitution, Federal supreme court can revert it. it is not question of fair or unfair. The point is is it violating constitution?

Don't waste time by calling National Call service center. They all are dumb !! They don't know anything. They just read the on line status of our case, which 8 year kid can do.
According to the first guy I talked to, one has already been assigned upon the start of processing of the case.
I just called again and the lady was completely clueless about the whole July 2 fiasco. I will try again in another hour and hopefully I won't get the village idiot again.
For anyone interested in calling themselves here is the info: 1-800-375-5283 options 1, 2, 3 (and possibly 6 after that-I can't remember).

Hi Vina92,
Thanks for asking.
I am happy that we see a change. The Iraq war is not going well. I do not believe that Democrats are necessarily more qualified and honest than Republicans, but the balance of power is welcome.
Regarding to immigration, my point is that I am certainly happy that we may see things moving - not because they will move directly suited to our category - but we may take a ride with the amnesty CIR bill. That is indirectly positive to us and that may turn out to be good thing indeed.
Since the Democrat led bill is primary designed to satisfy employers looking for low income labor and supply democrats with potential voters in the future, my concern is that many of us may get into trouble ahead, when millions of illegal aliens get their cases in the USCIS queue. In addition, I have to observe that I have a long-term vision:I believe that an amnesty of this magnitute will bring the US to its knees in the mid-term. That is more a long-term vision, but that's what I think and if that is correct, that is certainly troublesome because that would make all my efforts to get a GC unviable at that point. I would not worry about that now. We need to finish our GC business and get out of this as soon as possible.
Some members of this forum continue to distort facts. Nothing has changed for me. I captured all the information I had available back then and discussed with you all. In the last two months violence in Iraq has escalated to unacceptable levels and that has changed the outcome of the elections, apparently to our short-term advantage. It is time for a change for sure. Let's welcome the change.
Again, I am planning to discuss our issues and constantly and deliver fresh daily comments to you all on daily basis. Let's hope that we will have more positive news coming.
Regards,
The Ombudsman
"Your dose of daily reality"
I do not understand what Ombudsman is trying to imply. Are you happy or unhappy about Dems taking up the house? We don't know what they''ll do but I definitely feel hopeful about it. Infact it was the dreaded house where everything stopped in the past. Two times in the past senate okayed bills with legal immigration and were voted down by members of ultra conservative right wing Republicans. I am sure anything will be better than the old house.

Only 10% of the general public said immigration is the most important issue for them - and mind you, ILLEGAL immigration and amnesty to illegal aliens is what comes to mind of most average americans. The perceived opposition to CIR was blown out of proportion by the conservatives and their media cronies like Lou Dobbs. That it did not work clearly shows that the american public too mature and sensible to be carried away by such rhetoric.
I am not sure but one thing we can see a lot of anti immigration conservatives are not doing too good at house.. so what does this mean.. immigration is an issue by the conservative talk shows...Lou Dobbs.. and people like them and not the gen US public ???

the good point is that lot of people till end 2003 got their GC's in states like georgia. I guess many people in states like california must have gone to EB2 or gone back to their countries. lot of companies closed their shops but at the same time there was lot of labor substitution. I guess at this point EB3 - (I) cannot do much except pray and sleep(and hope one of the advisors to the president / congressmen tell them that more or speedy legal immigration actually helps US (in housing / SSN mess / medicare / tech innovation / outsourcing etc etc).
I was talking to a manager (naturalized citizen) of a top company and he said the same ..baby boomers are /will be retiring and you will see more old people in usa rather than youngsters - this is the most important advantage that countries like china and India have (young population).
as EB2(I) and world wide dates starts to move ahead - I guess future support to IV (or any campaigns) would continue to diminish

You get what you pay for, in a way.
Not really.
I have flown most domestic airlines in this country on really cheap fares/deals and had good experiences overall.
My experience with AI was through code sharing with Singapore. And it sucked big time!
Setting aside my patriotism for a bit, the problem with Air India is it's government run. And we all know how "professional" Indian govt run agencies are.

You are missing the whole point. If it was the way they worked it's fine, or if that's the way they are going to work that's fine too. But the only reason this was being done so fast is to churn out the maximum pending EAD's with 1 year approvals, so they come back to us with $340 checks next year. If it wasn't greed than they wouldn't have put point 5 and made EAD free only for post July 30 filers. If they were really loaded with application they would have done 2 years AP too.
And don't talk about India here. We are the people who paid peanuts to study Engineerings, doctorates etc from world renowned Institutions. We harldly pay for any services provided by the govt. And above all, what are we doing in return to our countries since we left. We never even bothered to go back and check how's our motherland doing.
I feel we don't have any right to talk about India....

I don't think i should necessarily agree with this statement. The shortage of manpower is w.r.t US Citizens with specialized skills...hence they recruit specilized people on H1/L1 categories which are known as specialized skilled employees. They won't bother about others unless they hold H/L.
Moreover, they have to think about unemployment issue caused by foreigners. Hence, I think they can't allow anyone work just like that...
I can see the most wierd issue with immigration law is that GC Holders can't bring their spouses on any dependent visa just like H4. In that sense, H4 is a bit better than 'foreign spouse of a GC holder'.
... One the one hand they will keep on syaing that we have shortage of manpower and on the other hand they try to restrict. ...
