To my knowledge it is Notice Date.
People we have a question, throw us some light now that our application officailly falls under current dates....
Our service center is Texas Center and the dates -
Priority Date - Oct 18 2004
485 Received Date - Aug 17th 2007
485 Notice Date - Oct 16th 2007
The current processing time for Texas Service Center is August 23rd 2007. Do they process based on reciept date or notice date? From the past experience we know that they donot process based on priority dates (We have been current for 3 times in the past and saw approvals for PD's in 2006 with earlier notice and receipt dates)

Are these RFE's genuine RFE's? I mean, some doc missed, improper or bad copy, etc? Or, if you changed job, or city where you live? Or, just to re-confirm your job offer? Just want a sampling of RFE where they appear to be non-genuine, for my education.

Folks,
Thank you for your patience. Here is a short piece I wrote that I will be emailing to digital2k. In the meantime, I am posting it here for your FEEDBACK AND PERUSAL.
Please DO SOME FACT CHECKING for me .. for example, the dates, time frames, etc.
Thanks!
Around the second week of each month, a welter of activity breaks out on the online forums of Immigration Voice, a non-profit organization set up by employment-based legal immigrants in the US. Users on the site vie with each other to predict the cut-off dates for the next month�s Visa Bulletin. These dates dictate the hopes and lives of thousands of legal immigrants and owing to their sheer numbers, Indian and Chinese applicants make up the overwhelming majority of those who wait in line for employment-based US permanent residence.
Since 200x, barring a few anomalous months, the cut-off dates have largely languished between 2003 and 2004. While the annual limit of per-country allocated visas for Indian and Chinese applicants are exceeded by the number of applicants, the problem is compounded by the ongoing inefficiency of the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). This inefficiency occurs at many levels of processing:
1) Slow processing times often leading to wasted visa numbers that expire at the end of the immigration year.
2) Lack of transparency throughout the process.
3) Lack of customer service in spite of regular ramping up of immigration fees.
4) Random movements, spanning months and sometimes, years, in the cut-off dates of the monthly visa bulletins.
5) Lack of communication between the USCIS and the Department of State (DOS) (the agency that sets the visa bulletin).
These are some of the most glaring inefficiencies that law-abiding, tax-paying immigrants suffer throughout the lengthy process which more often than not spans a minimum period of five years. However, the most egregious of the USCIS�s faults is the apparently complete cluelessness as to the number of applicants pending in their database. It boggles the mind how an agency of such import is unable to give a definite figure to the number of applications remaining to be adjudicated. That the United States, the most advanced country in economic and military leagues, can�t account for its legal immigrants speaks to the need for more highly-skilled immigrants to improve the status quo?

Here is the problem
-- Grass root & state level efforts work only when there are a lot of grass root workers. For example independence struggle in india worked due to grass root efforts. But please try to understand that things are different here --- by definition, we are immigrants, our numbers are limited in this country.
Simply put, groups working in isolated corners of the country are having no effect on the politicians, because each area has only a few people and the politicians are not seeing the combined effect.
"Grass root efforts" may sound very trendy, but are actually leading us no where............yes we need it......but at the same time IV has to have a strong leadership who can show their strenght by doing phone / lettere campaigns.
Well - I agree. What you say is true. In the past - IV leadership came up with campaigns and with plan and then the heat picked up and members started contributing and working hard and thats how all these campaigns are a success to some extent.
Now when new members are trying to come up with something - I personally feel that IV leadership must either endorse and support and guide or if such new campaigns that are not coming directly from IV core may not be advisable because they may not be the best approach - I think IV core can communicate the concern and intent to not ssupport new campaigns.
If there is no response - it becomes difficult for people to do anything because most people spring into action ONLY when IV core endorses the effort otherwise members will start campaigns - get no support or very little support and the campaigns will just go wasted.
On another note - it is always the best to join State chapters and talk to chapter leads and also mobilize people in state chaapter level - itis not easy but works in long run

GCStatus,
We would like to pass the baton to you. Its not "my" website. You are free to take it. Kindly let us your a number to reach you and we will start the transition process.
Thanks,
BTW, no one is telling you the credentials, just letting you know that your rude posting about Admins hiding in a secret place is not appreciated. You cut-past one post, what about your other posts. Do you want me to post them here? Now lets get back to "ownership" and "rudeness" debate because it always turns out that way. You can say anything and if Admin responds, all of a sudden Admin is showing attitude, Admin is rude, freedom of speech, Ist amendment, Admins is dictators, Admins are like Hitler etc etc . Nothing new, we have seen this story repeat countless times.
And one more thing, you are busy and others have all the free time in the world. Is that right?

Join the DC Rally on Sept 18th.
with Presidential elections next year and new govt after that, there
is a greater chance that the legislative reform can happen only now
or after long time, may be like after 3 years. So act now or be
prepared to be in limbo for years ahead.
It is very important that we attened the rally and get ourselves out
of the probationary status that we are in. Probationary status both
in career and family life. The GC wait time could be 10
years if you have a PD of jan 2005 or later. Currently it looks like
we would be in this GC limbo for several more years unless we ACT NOW.
Imagine yourself living with the EAD/AP renewal, cannot really in all
trueness be able to work for and work on what you really want and
what your true potential is. Its just so nightmarish aaggghhh soooo
depressing... to remain in the same job designation and same
salary years ahead... for any person with self-esteem and self-
respect...
Lets get our Life back.
Are you not tired of this probationary life ? if you are tired of
AP/EAD renewals , If you have filed your 485 after 2-3 years of
wait , If you are stuck in FBI name check , if you are tired of
arbitraryness/randomness of USCIS's GC processing and approval...
This is the time to step up and help yourself.
Please step up and save yourself and your family from this waiting
game...
Lets get our American Dream !!
If any of you were/are still on the edge and still contemplating to
join.

I am not trying to question the dedication of the folks here, but I have not see any plans or goals set for this year.Is this because of election year?
The site has become one more forum site to discuss personal issues and to vent out our immigration frustrations.We seem to be losing momentum on the larger effort of Visa Recapture or even looking forward for any new bills? Well even if we consider that there would be a change in white house, doesnt the senate and house still be intact with the members.
Does IV work with CompeteAmerica or any Lobbying group which could help us with direction?
Just my thoughts for the day.

JSB,
You are right.....even if EB2 PD becomes current and it takes 3 years for TSC dates to move forward to our ND dates....we are not going to have approval before then. So my earlier logic that being current on the basis of PD is meaningless unless you have ND which is current.
You rightly said that there are thousands of applicants with ND prior to you and they will be handled prior to your case............unfortunate but that is true.....and ofcourse preadjudication is a myth as usual...
SoP

Not limiting ourselves to "professionals"...
J. M. Coetzee came to the US from South Africa as a student. He got his Ph.D. in (English) literature from the University of Texas, Austin. Worked as a professor in the US for many years.
His application for green card was treated almost with contempt! It was rejected.
He left the US, but occassionally visited top English/Literature departments in the US for brief periods, lecturing and collaborating.
He was awarded the Nobel prize in literature in 2003. He is now settled in Australia.
I could go on and on and on ...
Wow. I'm a fan of Coetzee -- can you tell us more about his green card experience? Why was it denied?

Like other people said, take the job and move on. No need to send any documents to file AC21.
I changed job last year and did not send any AC21 document. This year when I got employment verification RFE, my attorney sent a letter from my new employer that I am working on a similar position and also an AC21 eligibility letter. So AC21 can be done if and when you get a RFE for employment.
All is good (at least that's what I think)
absolutley true........ AC21 is not mandatory........respond only if RFE is generated....
just my 2 cents
Hi,
If any one can answer this question for me it will help:
My PD will be current with sept 09 bulletin. I was about to file for AC21. what should i do now:
1. File for AC21 and then if they raise RFE then chances are i am not be able to respond back to rfe or they delay the process of allocating a visa # for my case. In that case i may loose the sept 09 visa availablity for myself to get GC
2. Do not file for AC21 and hope i get my GC. In case they raise RFE I will try to respond and then see what happens.
