Congrats! Yes, you can apply for I-485. The physician will keep a note on your medical report and you can do the needy tests later.

Sure. But it doesn't change a thing. Would've said the same thing in 08. By throwing a bone (EAD card) USCIS have played with EB3 indians and have very effectively throttled the green cards.
The situation is the same. In my case and of course in most of others too, what he/she said is correct. Waiting for Eb3 to cross 2001 has become a difficult thing. If I started an EB2 app rather than hoping positively, I would have finished my wait for GC.
Ever since retrogression started the dates have not crossed 2001. 245i or not, the backlog is a fact. Sad part, when there is action items from IV, trying to talk to my state members, I have realized and been told that IV does not cater to EB3 anymore. It is disheartening how much ever I try to explain, occasional members look at IV threads like EB2-EB3 predictions and say there is no hope for EB3 and also IV has no answer to it.
I tried my part...too bad I was not able to participate in the IV advocacy day due to family emergency. anyway, let us hope IV's persistence yields us the results. My heart goes for a lot of EB3s who may automatically qualify for EB2 just due to their experience.
Best of luck to all.

GC wait is a slow poison. everytime you compromise on the career front you console yourself saying it is a small thing, but when you look at it in hindsight you can see how this process chokes your career slowly. well we should think about those less fortunate than us and move on.....
I thought i was the oldest, but someone got a GC this week after 16 yrs wait. my first attempt was in 1998 sept (never filed and sat in the lawyers office for 6 months) while i was working hard. Second went into NY DOL (2001) and after 4 yrs my company shut down - labor was in backlog center. Last attempt started in 2005. Aug 11th it will be 15 yrs. Not sure what i am doing here or why i am clinging on to this. Hanging in the same field, no growth and no enthu. Most of my friends put up their citizenship oath taking pics in facebook or are back in india
we waited so long, hang in there for a few more days. hope all will be fine.

Called all of them early morning 10am eastern time
which is 7am pacific for me. No hold anywhere. All calls were
done in ten minutes.
Response from most of them was "I will pass the message".
Some took my phone number, name and current location.
Exceptions were
From office of 'Hilda Solis', staff said that congressman is already
supporting those bills.
Office of "Ciro Rodriguez" said that they respond to issues from
their constituents and encouraged me to call my representative.
Office of "Lucille Roybal-Allard" said "pass and message" and asked
if I have contacted my representative.

Instead of 140K individual green cards change to 140K Family (Primary+ Spouse + Kid(s) ) green cards.
Ability to change jobs after 2 years of 140 approval. (H1 time + LC time + I140 Time + 2 year would easily be 8+ years)

No one knows dick about PD movement. EB3 filers think that somehow EB2 PD gets stuck or even retrogress and EB3 PDs race forward to 2003/2004, through some delusional logic. Those who filed under EB2 think, EB2 PD moves to 2005/2006. These predictions are mostly prejudicial. USCIS may have some idea after entering all June/July/Aug applications, that is if they can find someone who can add :D.
My two cents...
And what about me? I have two files. One in EB3 -2003 and One in EB2 -2006 and both are live. :)

H1BLegal95,
I couldn't agree more with you. This is the worst thing to happen for ppl who have been patiently waiting in BEC lines since 2001 !!! Essentially this means that dates will get current for all the PERM filers since Mar 2005, giving them the advantage of AC21 while leaving simple ppl like you stuck. And then by the time your labor gets approved dates may not be current anymore.
But unless you are the type of person who's willing to get into buying labor certification there is nothing you can do! Is it unfair, hell yeah! Life's a b****. But remember you are getting screwed now others have either been screwed at some other point or will get screwed later. We all get screwed :D
anandrajesh,
Are yuou out of your mind? You are asking a man who has been waiting in line since 2003 a spoilsport? If he was really a spolisport who would bought his way out by now. You want him to celebrate while you get AC21 and he's left waiting again? You have some nerve!
Why do you want a spoilsport bro. Everybody is rejoicing this moment. Let us not spoil everybody's moment here. I agree with ur reasoning, but the fact that everybody can apply for 485 brings justice to everybody. My PD is Mar 2004 and i am equally happy for all who can apply 485.

May be a dumb question.. no offence intended. Isn't there an option to convert to PERM while retaining the original PD? Nobody wants to risk it for the fear of losing PD if PERM is denied?
BTW, my BEC labor got approved two weeks after I left the job. But I didn't lose too much in terms of PD with PERM.
My labor certification (Traditional EB-3) is stuck in BEC since last 5 years. It is completely beyond my understanding why it took so long for BEC to process my case. Now everyone is rejoicing USCIS's decision to accept all green card applications, but I am paralyzed with the fear of facing another huge backlog on I-485 applications. One government agency sits on our applications for years and another government agency throws us further back in the line to cover up its blunders and guess what who pays the price: WE RULE-ABIDING, LINE-WAITING FOLKS.
Even if I get my labor approval before September, I will be among the last persons to get labor certification in spite of being the one with the earliest priority date. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than suing DOL BEC at this time. We may not sue DOL on their inability to clear the backlogs, but we can definitely sue them in their utter disregard to FIFO procedures (mind that some people with priority dates in 2004, 2005 have already got their labor certifications, but some with priority dates in 2001, 2002 are still stuck). When I read on their web site that they have tried to maintain FIFO, it makes me feel like puking.
I am also disappointed with IV's attitude towards the backlog victims. I do not remember anything concrete done by IV to address the grievances of backlog victims. Now that they have won the battle with USCIS, will they have time to look at us?

You can just take the 5-10 lines from the report which shows wasted visa numbers from the past years and send it to all lawmakers from all states asking for visa number recapture legislation
I think its just one small paragraph the lawmakers have to insert - They can attach it to any major upcoming bill - This does not create additional numbers or change the existing laws in a big way.
