When you started the process, you might have authorized your attoreny to represent you. I am not sure what the form you signed, but it should be similar to G28. Revoke this authrorization in writing with anothor from( Dunno what itis called)
Otherwise, he could revoke your 140 or labor etc as he represents on your behalf. I read this somewhere.
I doubt that the lawyer would purposely hurt a former client. Its not just unethical, its really malpractice. And its not like lawyers done get fired and they cant handle getting fired.
However, please do make sure that you have all documents that you need to do your own 485 filing. If there are some documents like 140 approval or other stuff that only he has, then you will have to get it out of him, which he just might delay (a little) in case if he is an absolute nut job.
For me, I dont care what the lawyer thinks of immigrants as long as the job is done in a TIMELY manner without mistakes. If he hates immigrants and votes for Jeff Sessions, I dont care about it. All I want is TIMELINESS and ERROR FREE job. After that, he can hate anyone he wants and stick pins in voodoo dolls of immigrants.

Congrats inderman. Seeing Light at the end of the very very long Tunnel !!!
I got CPO email on Oct 22, at 7:45 pm from USCIS (not CRIS), almost the same time as yours.
What are the emails you got? I didn't get any email on I-485 approval. Update me if you get any other correspondence. I will update too.
Waiting for spouse's approval to come.

I posted the following question for the Nevada Presidential debate. I urge all of you, specially if you are from Nevada, to ask a similar question.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/22574335
http://www.januarydebate.com
"Illegal immigration has been a topic of heated debate and has received much needed attention during this election. Many of you have taken a strong position on one side or the other of this issue while ignoring the problems of aspiring legal immigrants. In the midst of all the hype and bickering about ILLEGAL immigration, there is a group of people, often forgotten and ignored, who are caught up in a bureaucratic mess and stuck in a limbo, patiently waiting on the path to LEGAL immigration. This is a group of high skilled workers, most of whom have advanced degrees in medicine, engineering and science from Universities in the US. These people have worked hard, paid taxes and waited their turn, many for a decade, without the end anywhere near sight because of a system that is hopelessly broken and inefficient. I am one of those people. I have been here legally for 10 years and still years away from the realizing the dream of immigrant status.
As the President of the United States how do you intend to address the problems faced by future Americans already living and working LEGALLY in the United States?"
For the skeptics-
I know the chances of including such a question are really slim, specially with the sponsors they have. However, if a lot of us ask similar questions, maybe they might bring it up.
Also, one might argue that even if they pose the question its not like all the backlogs are going to be eliminated. Thats not the expectation here. The idea behind this is to create an awareness and start people/media talking about problems of legal immigration.

With all due sympathies, this is one of the funniest posts I have read in a long time....It helps to lighten up a bit every now and then considering we are all in this for a long haul...
Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I went through London back in 2004 and my experience was completely different. I went to the NYC consulate to get my TV for $50, yes just $50 and the whole paper work etc was done in less than 30min and I had to go back after 2 hours to collect my passport with a 1 year multiple entry stamped on it.
My point being, I think they have changed a lot of rules and made it more stringent after the recent security threats etc.
Getting a GC soon is our saviour
I had the misfortune of travelling thru London in December on my way to Mumbai. After I purchased my tickets, I learnt that I need a transit visa (TV) for UK. (Who is going to tell them (UK) that they are no longer the center of attraction esp. if you have lived and worked in US). Anyway, as per the rules, you need a transit visa if you don�t have a valid US visa. (Note: If you have AP, and don�t have a valid visa, you still need a TV).
I went to their site and did all the research to get a TV. Good god Heavens! Has anyone filled out their painful form for a TV? Besides asking the usual details, they get extremely nosy. They want to know each and everything about you. Where you work, what money do you make, name of your wife, kids and their citizenship status, name of your father and mother and where they were born, their birth date, how much money you have and where the money is (stocks, bonds, CDS) etc. etc. While filling up the form I realized that, even my future father in law did not pose so many probing questions to me. (Please note: I don�t mind answering these silly questions for a regular visa, but for the damn TV, it is certainly overkill).
Anyway to cut the long story short. The regular cost of TV is/was $92. However, when I filled up the application form they were asking for $184. (The satisfaction of getting a good deal on the tickets was quickly evaporating). I assumed I must have made a mistake in thinking the cost to be $92 and reluctantly paid $184. Next it was time to fill the application for my wife and answer the idiotic questions again. You should have seen the �I will kill you right now� look on my wife�s face after I woke her up in the middle of night and asked details about her parents. After I filled up the form, to my surprise, now they were asking $274 for visa fees. It was already 2:00 am and I have no choice but to painfully enter my credit card details, hoping that they would realize the mistake in their recon process and would reimburse the difference. (Of course, I was only dreaming).
It is now almost the end of January and I have still now received any money from them. I have tried sending several email to the emb(ass)y, but none of their emails work. I get bounced email for all the emails that I have used. I have tried calling them and left messages and no one has called back. I have send emails to my credit card company and the people who processed the payment and none of them have been able to help me. There is a way to talk to someone in the emb(ass)y, but you need to dial a 900 number, which BTW costs $2.49 per minute. Throwing good money after bad is not an option.
I just wanted to share this experience with you and remind you of the pain ahead, if you are travelling thru UK and don�t have a valid US visa. Personally, even if they had charged me the regular $92, I will still use other options to travel next time. The amount of time wasted in filling the crappy application form, going to NY, (starting Dec doing your finger prints) is simply too much to handle. Visiting your motherland/fatherland is a very special occasion and all these intermediate steps certainly water down the �good feeling� that you experience during the days leading to your trip.
I haven�t given up my quest for a refund, but now, not only I want my money back I would like to bring back home the Koh-i-noor too.

I called the Nogales (mexico) US embassy and they were able to look up the PIMS system using the petition number.
I hope the PIMS is a "centralized" system. So even the consulate in India would be using the same.

I have read it in Ron Gotcher's forum that what Sept bulletin talked about was only for Mexico and people should not mix it with EB-3 India. Also Apr'2001 was the PD given to the asylum(245i) cases by the Clinton administration. But with dates moving to Nov'2001 I believe that hump have gone past. My personal belief is EB-3 India should go around Jun-2002. But In case it remains in 2001, EB-3 Indians should take some drastic decisions. You may call me pessimist but I don't see any help coming from the congress, rather there could be some weird irrational decisions which could leave us paralysed. There are more foes than friends in the congress and lawmakers do what there pupil tells them to do. Right now the under current in US is anti immigrant..
Here's a quote from the Sept Visa bulletin http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4328.html
June cutoff for EB3-I was Nov 2001. So worse than this means, the cutoff will be eariler than Nov 2001. And I picked Apr 2001 as the lower bound just because, Apr 2001 is a very well known time frame where the PDs just hung there forever for EB3....dig around in the forums to know more about Apr 2001 and its relation to EB3, backlogs, etc....

Vonage was just responding to the competition.
Lingo has a world plan which included unlimited calling to 30 countries( India not included)
India calls were just 2 cents per minute. I switched to Lingo from Vonage 2 months back. Sensing this mass exodus, vonage came up with an even more aggressive plan.
Competition is good !
How is your experience with Lingo customer service. Last year, I tried to switch to Lingo and the lady at customer service is very rude. She is so tired to answer questions and asked me to get all from website. I stopped switching to them.

I guess the emails and updates are sent by some kind of batch processing system. I got the email at 5:15 am, do you think that uscis guys would work that early...., duh....
So cool down, you will get email soon.
If you are doubtful, call uscis one more time, and confirm that your case is approved.

Dear Mr. Dobbs,
Today you have proved how low you can get. You have criticized H1/L1 numerous times before and today your show criticized O1 visa, which is popularly, know as elite visa. This visa category is created for persons with international fame such as Nobel laureate, international fame athletes, musicians and entertainers. Today your show criticized none other than famous soccer player David Beckham. David is a highly successful international soccer player and his stature is often compared with top ten soccer player in the history of soccer. such as Pele, Maradona, Becanbaire, Platini, Ronaldo, Zidan and others. He is coming to play for LA team not to snatch your American middle class job. On the contrary he is going to help local economy grow when fans will completely fill the seats of soccer stadiums all over the USA. Unlike football soccer is not a mainstream American sports and most of the match organizers face hard finical decision to organize large soccer events. Wherever David Beckham goes fans follow him and all those empty seats will be filled within no time. WHEN STADIAMS ARE COMPLETELY FILLED FOR A MAJOR SPORTING EVENT, IT IS THE LOCAL ECONOMY THAT GETS THE MAXIMUM BENEFIT. So in other words Mr. David Beckham is coming here not to snatch middle class American jobs but to create jobs for them. IT�S THE ECONOMY STUPID.
If you really care for middle class Americans why don�t you run for the President post? Can you make public statement of your annual income from your myopic shows, books sale and public appearances. If you really care so much for American middle class, let me ask you a very basic question. Can you show us one example where you have contributed to some organization that helps inner city kids (mostly blacks) improve job skills? Can you show us one example that you have motivated and convinced one high school drop out to go back to school and that kid followed your advice and went back to school?
There are people like Governor Swaznegar (an immigrant), Magic Johnson you are silently doing exactly just that. These fine gentlemen created and funded (still continuing) organizations that provide on going job related training to inner city kids in Chicago, New York and many large cities so that they become productive American citizens.
Come on Mr. Dobbs, show some character. Don�t just make publicity stances. Change America and provide equal opportunity for all. As a first step just become a mentor of Big Bother & Big Sister organization ( it won�t cost you a penny) and motivate a high school drop out (you may pick up a white kid because everybody knows you do not like other color) to go back to school. Present him on your show and make him as an example of how America is changing to face the challenges of globalization. The Americans are eager to see some character here. Come on Mr. Dobbs what are you waiting for!

I've been current since July, 2010 and got RFE on Sept 10, 2010. I don't have letter with me as yet to know about RFE.
Before REF, I waited for few weeks then tried followings:
1) Took infopass : Officer sent email to expedite.
2) Wrote to Senator: got reply they would get reply in 60-90 days
3) Sent an email via attorney to TSC: got automated response.
Then I got RFE after about 2-3 weeks of these attempts.

Yes I had one pending and no RFE was received for either. My lawyer is expecting a notification from USCIS stating the second one is withdrawn.
Congratulations on getting GC.
I think the fact that you had same A# helped you despite multiple filings. There are cases of people where even though they have declared their second application, USCIS assigned them a second A# number.
Pls. Stick around in IV and help others with your knowledge.

Pappu,
I agree with you on this, there is some truth to this that there could be delays when there are multiple filings. In fact this is the first time when USCIS has to deal with so many multiple filings, a very few lawyers have any direct experience with it. From USCIS Standard Operating Procedure, there is a mention of "second filing" (not duplicate filing) in the following places:
1. Procedural Overview (Page 4)
2. File Review (Page 46)
3. Interview Waiver Criteria (Page 185)
http://www.ilw.com/seminars/august2002_citation2b.pdf
From the link above:
In (1) and (2) above it says second filing should be handled under the normal process. Although if different A# are assigned case goes to CRU (case resolution unit). But if A# assigned are same, you are more or less processed like a normal case. The last part (3) interview waiver criteria, multiple filing is mentioned as one of the deviations from interview waiver criteria but it NOT the interview criteria itself. In the end processing time for multiple filing is very much up to the discretion of adjudicating officer. Also, I didn't find any reason to believe that there could be issues with security check with multiple filings.
I think all of us multiple filers can breathe easy if our cases are filed clearly with full disclosure of information without any intended willful violation.
I am a multiple filer too, my I-485 application filed in early June was approved last week. I hope this gives some reason for optimism for us multiple filers. Good luck to everyone. BTW: I am still a contributing member and will continue to hang out at IV.
After much research on this, I tend to agree with this answer above (not the CP part though). As per my latest information from a lawyer who does multiple filings, the processing delay can be significant due to this. Looking back, wish our community had more information on this and more real examples of people who have done it. It would have helped members who were unsure if they should do multiple filings.
Anyways this thread will be useful for future I485 filers.

A simple calc to find out how much EB3-EB2 porting going on as of today:
If you look at Demand data released last month by DOS, It lists
Prior to January 1, 2007 , EB2- I pending : 13,200
In my opinion Demand data includes EB3- EB2 porting as well since Demand data reflects overall demand for one category.
Now if you look at inventory data released on Jan 5 ,2011 ,
EB2 India Pending Prior to Jan1st 2007 : 13,516
But if you exclude all the data prior to May = 13,516 - 1,110 - 103 - 133 - 74-108 = ~ 12K
EB2 I demand from the inventory btwn May - Dec 06 = 12K
But Demand data says EB2-I demand is 13,200
Diff : 13,200 - 12K = 1200 ( This number has to be porting)
We know EB2 - I dates have not moved since Oct ,2010 .
So India regular quota for the last six months : 2800/2 = 1400 .
Since dates have not moved, I am assuming 1400 should also be considered towards porting.
so my conclusion is so far 1200 + 1400 = 2600 porting already took place. (though only 1400 really got GC)
EB3 Porting could use up to 8K though, and new filing could be 2K
and EB2 I/C pre-07/2007 still have about 34K at the beginning of oct/2010
So it is even at most...
There are lots of uncertain
1. EB1 is now the biggest uncertainty
2. EB2 ROW
3. Porting
But EB1 and Eb2 ROW, EB2 I/c new fling (ppl who missed 07/2007 w/ PD before 07/2007) have to file in May to get it approved by Sept as processing time is 4 month.
So After May, from June to August, it is all spill over game for EB2 I/C
That is why i guess Charles is saying the trend is now, and will start use the numbers in May
If you look at Demand data released last month by DOS, It lists
Prior to January 1, 2007 , EB2- I pending : 13,200
In my opinion Demand data includes EB3- EB2 porting as well since Demand data reflects overall demand for one category.
Now if you look at inventory data released on Jan 5 ,2011 ,
EB2 India Pending Prior to Jan1st 2007 : 13,516
But if you exclude all the data prior to May = 13,516 - 1,110 - 103 - 133 - 74-108 = ~ 12K
EB2 I demand from the inventory btwn May - Dec 06 = 12K
But Demand data says EB2-I demand is 13,200
Diff : 13,200 - 12K = 1200 ( This number has to be porting)

That's because the existing cases have not had a chance to file their I-485 and therefore are not visible in that report. Does not mean they don't exist. My case is a perfect example of that. I'm not counted in that report but I certainly exist! :-)
Thaks for correcting me.any way I hope they Does that :D

Looks like this year USCIS understood they need some money and accept some extra applications, which may be the same file I485 when PD is not current. and date might go to end of 2007.
Just a thought

We heard so many stories about violation many Indian bodyshoppers like bench without pay,Low pay ,fake resumes and many more. But when any bill comes to control them we are opposing. Because we fear that we may be one of the persons working in those companies and may be impacted by that.
Certainly the bill is not a pro immigrant and anti immigrant bill. But some kind of restriction is needed to clean out H1b. I accept as a pro immigrant we have to oppose any anti immigrant bill. So I am sure IV will try to block the bill as they did the restriction in TARP.
I am not going to get any benefit if they shut the door behind me. I need just one job that I can get any time and whatever compettion and there is no need to shut thousands of people. So my views are not based on any personal ambition.
I am seeing some positives in the bill. Wages will increase for the H1bs also. Only genuine companies can do the business. Best and bright people will not be impacted by this. Also it can open opportunity to increase H1b Cap and Green card Cap. So there is a good possiblity to reduce or eliminate retrogession.
Basically there are two options for IV and other pro immigrants if the bill is considered serously. One is just oppose the bill and try to block completely. Or other option is to negotiate to include our agenda to recapture/increase GC and also to modify the portions of bill. Instead of failing with option 1 getting success in option 2 is better.
I think this bill will not be passed if it is against WTO trade regulations.
So you never know all these violation when you were in H1. What were you doing then. Why didnt you oppose then. If you know the violation did you call the USCIS and DOL and complain...No. Because you would end up in trouble. Now you got your GC and no matter if other guys are end up in trouble, in fact it would be helpful for you... Are you ready to review your status thorught all your H1, all your PREM processing to prove there is no violation...? Eveyone know how things are working. So if you got your GC just keep quite and move on. When you can not be helpful to others...why you are just creating pain.
If you are worrying about the wages..let them free the employees from employer. Thats the best way to clean up the system. If you are really pro-immigrant your thoughts should align in that direction. But most of us see you as Ron Diamond in the making. Its very unfortunate. One study shows that only immigrants opposing immigration more than natvie people.
