Nope, I got only one set. A friend of mine got two set he and his spouse filed each other as dependent.
Here is a question for multiple I485 Filers:
Did you get multiple fingerprinting notices for each applicant too?

Ok. I am finally beginning to see your point. If the objective of your exercise is to eliminate alleged non-genuine EB2 jobs, that really don't exist, but are simply advertised just for the sake of porting by unscrupulous companies who stand to gain money by this, then you certainly are making a valid point.
But I still do not understand how a lawsuit will help? Was the labor-sub elimination the result of a lawsuit? Also, I would be concerned about lots of other valid/genuine companies who really have jobs for BS + 5 years experience ...?
The argument is same for why labor substitution was done away with. The bottom line is it was abused.

I hope your wife is recovering and feeling better now. Also best wishes that you get your GC quickly after all the effort that you have put in :)
Interesting that your handle is seekerofpeace. I hope you are at peace in any fight for justice.
Communist/progressive leaning organizations such as ASHA and AID are fighting, doing activism, struggling and all doing all that, with a subconscious unhealthy feverishness in the mind. The long term result of their noble goals tends not to promote peace but a latent violence (does not have to be manifest violence).
It is possible to bring justice with inner peace but at the same time steadfast determination.
I am writing not directing to SOP who I wish only the best, but to bring about these subtle points.

I agree. Other non-useful threads are more active than this.
I am surprised that all other threads are getting updated quite frequently. People are posting question related to their RFE and as usual once they get answer to their problems, they vanish. People are posting jokes on IV, but when it is their turn to call, we've to "bump" this thread and send e-mails to members. So pathetic.
I felt very sad when I read 30000+ members donated some 4000 dollars in last two months. I felt my donation of about 1000 dollars since 2006 is being wasted to answer questions of or to solve the problems of these free riders &/or one question members.

MCQ
11-12 12:18 PM
For more information, we went to visit our home country and re-entered from JFK with no issue twice after 2004. We got H4 tranfered, EAD advanced Payrole too with no issue al all. Looks like "nunc pro tunc" is the solution according to Murthy. Anybody has experience with "nunc pro tunc" please post your experience. http://www.murthy.com/news/n_nunpro.html
gc4me - I have experience using "nunc pro tunc" - and it saved my I-485 (AC21).
I had just come back from vacation (09/01) and the Officer at the POE stamped my I-94 with the date on my visa (11/01), instead of the date of my then H1-B extension I-797 approval notice (03/03) which I had with me.
I explained to her she had stamped the wrong date, she said that was all I was allowed. I tought this wrong so mentioned it my attorney when I got home. My attorney confirmed that the POE Officer was wrong - so drafted a letter for me to take to my local INS Office to get the card corrected - along with one of her paralegal assistants. The Officer at the INS office took one look at the letter and supporting documents and told me I was ok as the I-797 had me covered to 2003. The paralegal then typed up a eport of the meeting with the INS, saying everything was ok, and we thought that was the end of the matter.
How wrong we were.
I next left the US to go on vacation in November 2002. By this time I had renewed my visa through the now non-existant Department of State mail in program, got my Labour Certificate, my I-140 and had filed my I-485. The issue of my erroneously stamped I-94 was a distant memory and I had no trouble getting back into the US with the new Visa, and my I-797.
The following Februaury my company ran into some problems and I was let go. Luckily I had passed the magic 180 days so was able to invoke AC21 and went to find a new job, which I did. My new employers were quite happy to take over the GC sponsorship as all they had to do was send a letter to the now USCIS and work with their lawyers.
That's where the trouble started. USCIS got the letter, put it on my file and started their review of my I-485.
They then sent me an RFE asking me to prove I had been here legally between the expiration of my old I-94 in 11/01 and when I submitted the I-485 in July 2002. (I-485 for AOS can only be submitted if you are legally in the US at time of submittal). I was devastated as it looked as though they were going to deny my I-485 due to an INS mistake.
As it was more than 365 days from when my I-94 "Expired" till I left on my next trip, I was looking at deportation and a 10 year ban from the United States.
Luckily it is a good thing I am a pack rat and keep every bit of correspondance between me and my lawyers. I was able to go to my new lawyers with the info and statements from my old lawyers about what had happened back in 2001 with the INS and my I-94 and after getting Sworn Affadavits (on pain of Perjury) from my old lawyer, paralegal and myself, we went to the local USCIS office and made an appointment with the Director and asked for a "Nunc pro Tunc" decision on the I-94 as it was clearly an INS mistake and that we had acted in Good Faith throughout in trusting the INS official.
We got the "Nunc pro Tunc" and responded to the RFE. Six weeks after that - I got the I-485 Approval notice and my passport stamped the week after.
The things for anyone to take away from my experience are.
1. When you realize a mistake has been made - act on it immediately - like I did as soon as I left the airport on September 2001
2. Document everything - to prove that you acted in Good Faith throughout the process.
Every conversation you have with someone relating to your case - your employer, your lawyer, the USCIS - get the main points in writing - email is graet for this - fire off an email - get confirmation (ok - not so helpful when talking to USCIS)
3. Keep EVERYTHING. take photocopies of I-94's, I-797's - everything. Every letter, every email. You never know when you'll need them.
4. Yes, the Government really does know where everything is in your file and they will catch even the smallest mistake.
Hope that helps you gc4me. If you can prove you acted in Good Faith throughout the whole process from finding the mistake and trying to correct it - your chances of getting the "nunc pro tunc" go up.
GOOD LUCK

Lost in all this is the fact that Punjabi wants to sell his house not because he cannot afford it anymore, but because he wants to move to a different city to a higher paying job and can't be bothered to take responsibility for his failed real estate venture. He could have done the ethical thing and stayed in his present job and paid off his loan but he is choosing not to. And who does he blame for his situation? The concept of the "American dream". So the fact that he wants to shirk his responsibilities in favor of foisting his own debt onto the rest of the country isn't his own fault, it's the "American Dream" that's making him do this. It's not exigent financial circumstances that are causing him to foreclose, it is greed and shortsightedness (colloquially known as "The American Dream"). Greed and shortsightedness already caused him to go 20K under the water. And they will now make him screw up his own credit history. If someone cannot learn from one mistake, I say let him keep making mistakes. He will soon find out how difficult life in the US can be if you don't have a good credit history. As for the burden on us taxpayers, hey, we've been spending 10 billion a week for the past 5 years dropping bombs on people, what's a mere 20K?
LOL.
Something tells me that it is not 20k. It would be 100K if an actual sales is attempted. Still much much lower than 10 billion a month:)

I am in the same situation, and I plan to include photocopy of my courtesy copy of my I-140 with other docs, as I am filing AOS by myself. If anyone else had the same issue, please share your exp.
Sorry to disappoint you guys, but courtesy copy is not sufficient to file I-485. Read your courtesy copy clearly. It categorically states that
"This courtesy copy may not be used in lieu of official notification to demonstrate the filing or processing action taken on this case."
I think it is crystal clear what INS means.
The big question is, what happens if you do file with the courtesy copy of your I-140 instead of the original one. My guess is, if you are lucky, INS may accept your 485 petition initially, and after a few months then may simply send you a RFE asking for the original copy of I-140. And, by that time you may be able to convince your company or company-lawyer to release to you the original copy. And if you are unluncky and the clerk at INS is sharp eyed, he/she may take this as a case of missing initial evidence and blow up your entire 485 application at the on set.
You can take your chances.

Found some interesting information at this URL (http://www.ilw.com/articles/2006,0321-murthy.shtm)
"While a denial due to USCIS error can normally be addressed in a Motion to Reopen, it is obviously never a good situation, especially if the applicant and/or the family members do not have a backup nonimmigrant status, such as H1B or H-4. Without the backup status, each I-485 applicant will be immediately out of status upon issuance of the denial. Often all employment cards are no longer valid once the I-485 is denied, as well, causing an additional financial toll on a family."
This looks from murthy and contradicts with what Ron Gotcher mentioned on his website.

caliguy,
The final option 4 that you press is correct. Sometimes you can get an IIO that is not happy to give status info (and it is a good idea that the status word is not mentioned by the caller...it kind of hurts their ego! for the reason below)
Remember reaching the Service Center directly (thro this "POJ" method) puts you in touch with not a CSR but an actual Immigration Information Officer (these at the Service Centers are positions that are rotated, they usually also do simple cases at other times like I-765, I-131 etc.) They have full access to all databases and systems that a Adjudication Officer handling you file has, unlike the regular contractor non-POJ CSR's.
@ fatjoe
Well, I dont think politeness works with USCIS, but do we really have a choice?
Yes, lets write to Secretary Napolitino. I will also send a copy of the letter to the first lady. I am not sure what else we can do besides that.
Once I get the sequence to call TSC using the POJ method, I will try calling them tomorrow.

You will be considered a PR the day your I-485 was approved. In my case, I am not sure where they got the 2008 date. Most likely it is a data entry error.
Based on my conversation with USCIS customer service, when I return to US, at POE the officer will definitely notice the discrepancy that my I-485 was approved on 09/20 but the card says something else. This might lead to further questions... Better to avoid all this and get it corrected.
It could also lead to issues during citizenship as I am aware of the error. Best is to get a replacement card with correct details. It is surely a hassle considering the 3-4 months wait time, but the right thing to do.
Yes, it was based on the State you lived. One other thing, you may want to check with Customer Service, since when are you have been actually considered a PR. If they have considered you as a PR since 2008, it is good for you, you will be able to apply for Citizenship sooner
