In my case (see a few posts up), it took 70 days from e-filing date, and 36 days from FP date, to get to the "card production ordered" stage. So I would think your time line is about the same so far.

To begin with, Slumdogs writing style is really refreshing and one day he writes a book, I may be inclined to buy it :)
But he seems to be really upset about the "Non GC house buying" group bashing ..I think the bashing is both ways. Many a time these self proclaimed SMART home owners feel that they know too much and ridicule people who haven't bought a house yet.
And the big reason people who bought homes give is they are giving their family and children a good quality of life ..And people who dont buy homes are SELFISH A** who don't care about their family and only care about saving Money.
I seriously don't understand this argument. For one i don't own a home yet. I definitely want to one day. But currently i rent a beautiful 3 bed town home with my own backyard which connects to a beautiful park. the yard is maintained by the community .. Also all the maintenance is taken care off. I am totally happy where i live..The day i feel bored i will move into a better place. So for me when i buy a house it should be much better than where i stay currently in every sense. My dream home should be truly luxurious in every sense, And i should feel that my standard of living has gone up after i buy a home. As of today my dream home in a good location is not affordable for me. So till the affordability criteria is not met, I plan to rent a nice home.
So to conclude please do not equate quality of life to buying a house. Its the people who live inside, who make a house a "HOME".

Fellows,
We all had a sigh of relief when we saw the new labor certification process (Perm) and were promised that it will be much faster and smooth. Thankfully they have kept their promise, for the most part, except for the cases that get audited.
The cases that are 'randomly audited' have been pending for months and months, some cases () have been pending for over an year and there have been no response from DoL what so ever. I understand that a year does not sound bad especially to those folks who had their labor approved through the old process but these days the labor is getting approved within 50-60 days (average). It appears that the DOL (Atlanta Processing Center at least) does not bother to look at the documents once the audit has been replied to.
Although I understand that not everyone uses and some audit replies may have been replied sooner and were never reported to but you can get the idea just by a sample of the cases that were audited, and see that they have being neglected, ignored or appears that they are no longer considered for further processing. I have seen instances where the lawyers have retreated the application in the audit and filed a new application (a gamble) hoping that it does not get audit this time around. But not sure how that turned out.
If you visit the Atlanta Perm section on you will see the people's misery I mention here. In fact, I am sure that there are number of IV members who are going through this aggravating process but are silent becuase they know that can not do anything. Even lawyers have shown the sign of disappointment to this hopeless condition.
So I ask you, Members of IV, to help us and suggest something that (we) can be done to bring this to the attention of some sort of authority that would help trigger the review of Audit responses.
Thank you!
Updates:
We have decided to make this thread a place where all the Perm Auditees come and show their support. As of now we are gathering people here to estimate how many people are out there suffering the delays caused by Perm Audit. I have added a poll which is a way for us to estimate the number of people who will support any action that we take to make our voice heard.

People (who just got current) are opening SRs and writing letters to their respective Congressmen because visa numbers get used up pretty fast.
In 2009, I went for a personal interview with an immigration Officer at local USCIS Office. She verified all the records and when I was about to leave, she gave me a form and said:
"When your priority date become current, I need you to send this form to us ASAP so we can check the visa availability for you. We personally won't remember your file and priority date."
The form contains my A number, my name, case status and is written "Pending for visa availability."
However, at this time, my files are no longer with local USCIS office. They have been moved to Texas.
So, when my dates become current, I will open SR or whatever to let them know that I am ready for some greenery in my backyard. :)
I am seeing several people contacting Congressman and opening service requests. These guys seem to have become current just this month and they do not have any patience. It is crazy in my opinion. As pointed out earlier there is lot of herd mentality on the forums and if one person posts, everyone else does the same. Some people I have seen on the forum call customer service every day to get case status. I urge people to read and try to understand the process than blindly following what others are doing. Secondly as posted earlier, tracking is also useless and a waste of time. It will not help you get your green card any faster. Have some patience and follow the process. Starting a service request as soon as your date gets current, cannot help you.

Did you choose the option 'your case is outside of the processing time'? Call them again and tell them it is delayed. SR (probably) was the key in my case.
Congrats Masterji. BTW, how were you able to open the SR. I called them this morning and they told me that my PD became current yesterday so I should wait for 30 days before calling them back.

You were looking at a older instruction? the link you have posted is the same as what
gcformeornot posted. please clarify, the instruction states its validity so we have to use that accordingly.
It is not advised to double file, perhaps you'll get this back sooner than expected and then send it to the lockbox, dunno why they are complicating things as it is there are enough complications :-(
u bet..there are enough complications already..and the old instructions file shows up in google when I search for 765 istructions!! :(
I called USCIS and talked to a very friendly IO. He said that either nebraska center will foward my application to the correct office, or they will send it back to me. He said that I could send another application to the correct address, but then its very possible that they will cash both the checks. If I stop payment on the nebraska check, then they will send me an invoice, asking for the processing fee of $340.
He asked to call back in 30 days if i dont hear from them regarding my application. He also said that they are taking around 90 days to approve EAD renewals.

This would actually be a good idea. Then there would be more Visas available. Especially people with US Degrees. Most people with US degrees dont need to work for this fraudulent consulting firms. They are able to find real jobs with real US employers.
Says who?
How do you know that US masters degree dont need to work for consulting firms?
Do US masters degree holders work for Deloitte? IBM Global Services? Accenture? KPMG? Price Water House Coopers?
What about Oracle consulting services? What about TRW? Bearingpoint?
All these are consulting companies or the divisions of consulting companies. Both US degree holders and the non-US degree holding duffers like myself work in consulting firms(I dont anymore since 2003). In fact, I have had my classmates from India have to look for consulting jobs after they did MS in computer science from USA.
You are under the impression that the bill is outlawing desi consulting firms and firms that exploit.
The bill outlaws OUTPLACEMENT. And the bill applies to all firms, desi firms and the big 5 consulting firms and your IBM, TRW ... everyone.
Please read the bill and read the description in the first post.
And although I am the last one to engage in US-degree versus non-US degree and Masters Versus Non-Masters fueds, .
When the market is really bad, like it was in 2001 and 2002, I have seen many Masters degree holders pack up and throw in the towel and I have seen many individuals with degrees from private Tier 3 university from India survive just fine in an environment where there were 80 resumes for each IT job. The US masters degree holders, particularly with computer masters degrees with their courses in useless subjects like "assembly level programming" and their binary math didnt do squat for them while looking for jobs during recession times and could not stand competition from bachelor's degree holders from Tier 3 university from India who had done 6 month course in NIIT.
However if you are proud of your US degree and US masters, suit yourself. But dont say things like "I dont need consulting". Coz you really do and so do thousands of others having US degrees.

I am reading a lot of information posted on this form thanks a lot to every one.
But I am still not clear if I can apply in EB2 (PERM) as the job requirement says
Minimum of 5 years programming experience
But is really important to SAY THAT’S MASTERS DEGREE PREFERRED,
Because I have Masters in computer science but the job requirement does not need it.
To apply in EB2? Or just BS+5 years of experience is good enough
Form information posted I deduce that BS= 2years of experience
I have 5 years of experience so total of 7 years (SVP of 8) as per
http://online.onetcenter.org/help/online/svp.
Guru’s Please Advise!!
P.S : I was in EB2 before had to walk away from it as I had change jobs, Perm approved, I 140 in process and I-485 not filed

Starsun I would request you to put in another clarification for the benefit of all so that IV Core's stand is well known and published. Predictions & calculations help people to know what the ground reality is and plan their lives. Now we don�t have people on IV whether EB2 or EB3 being sad after every VB because everyone knows when to expect what and predictions and calculations IMHO has gone a long way in correcting that situation.
I read several posts promoting advocacy which is very good however they take pride in trashing predictions and calculations for no apparent reason it seems to be in fashion / vogue. If advocacy has to be promoted it has to be done in a positive way there is no need to trash predictions and calculations at every available opportunity. Some of these immature comments are very disrespectful to the effort that is being put in my many of us on the predictions blog. If some people do not like what is being done on that blog they are really free not to visit but unnecessary comments should really stop or be moderated.
Teddy -
I have deep personal respect for you and the people who have spent countless hours trying to come up with the predictions framework.
It provides a way for all of us to make sense of where we stand in the line and what to expect - to a large degree of reasonableness. That way, at least we are not groping in the dark, with false hopes or false hopelessness.
The point that also needs to be kept in mind is that predictions are dependent on policies and anything that we can "do" to impact policies, will have a positive effect on predictions.
We do not need to take predictions as a full & final situation for all of us about which nothing can be done. Advocacy is a way to do something about the policies that impact our situation, so that our predicted timelines become better.
We are in a situation similar to driving from coast to coast on I-80, where everyone except the retrogressed countries are allowed to get on the highway and drive full-speed whenever they want to, whereas we are only allowed to get on to the highway when "rules permit". Based on these rules, we have done a decent job of predicting when we might be able to get on to the highway.
We now need to also put significant effort on changing the rules, so that we can get on the highway sooner.
The point that everyone is making (may not be as simply - like everything else, this too gets emotional many times) is lets not get content due to predictions, but also do our part to change the ground rules.
Hope this helps.
