It means "GO Green" pending Visa #. It is as good as telling "Pre Adjudicated"

This is not a valid reasoning. The "no" is not related to immigration intent. It is related to if you made factually correct statements.
You need to *prove* that you have no intention for immigrating to US. Your intention is within your head; it does not start from any given date or given action by USCIS. The IO needs to "read your mind". The legal standard is that the court concedes that no one can know for sure what one's intentions are, however, the immigration officer can make a reasonable guess at the intentions by observing the actions you took or someone else took on your behalf.
In your case:
1. Someone filed I-130 for you. This is for permanent immigration to US.
2. You have family ties in US.
3. You have traveled to US before (I do not know how frequently).
4. You want to join a university that does not even have your major; that too you do not know what exactly you will study in that university. This itself is a very strong indication (at least in my mind) that you are not really interested in the education, but you applied to that university just for coming to US.
All together, it shows a clear pattern of observable evidence that your intention is to immigrate to US.
Thank you for your response raysaikat! Could you please rephrase your first part of the answer "This is not a valid reasoning. The "no" is not related to immigration intent. It is related to if you made factually correct statements."? It's a bit confusing.
You're saying I need to *prove* that I have no intention for immigrating to US. Do you mean that they must clearly see that I have no intention to stay in the US after I finish college? The I-130 form is pending so it's obvious I have such intentions. However, the process takes a very long time. Do you think that if I prove that I plan to go back home after school and then wait for the process in my home country I'll be issued a visa? Do they have information regarding the "I-130" process in their database? I mean there is a chance they don't even ask about it. Well, last time we applied they didn't.
Also, do you think that my previous false response to the application form question could in some way affect my I-130 process? I mean I've returned back so in my understanding it shouldn't be a problem. Please explain.
If I get lucky and get a visa issued. What happens next? Is it easy to switch to a working "H1B" visa from "F-1" visa and maintain this status until the end of the "I-130" process? I mean switching to "H1B" after I finish college. Is it ok to leave the country while on "H1B" status while "I-130" pending? Please comment. Thank you.

I got a letter from IRS stating they have notified the employer to send the corrected W-2. I should be waiting two weeks before the due date and then use Form 4852 to report the correct wages. This has become a stress for no-fault of ours. If the employer provides us a corrected W-2 after we file our taxes and if the figures don't match then we should amend our taxes using 1040X. I am sure the employer will wait till the last date or near to due date to give us a corrected W-2. This is a real pain in the a$$.

Let�s see, Senate has so far passed Bill #2
And here are some of the bills in numerical order in which they were listed in Senate
3. Stem Cell Research Enhancement Act of 2007
4. Medicare Prescription Drug Price Negotiation Act of 2007
5. College Student Relief Act of 2007
6. CLEAN Energy Act of 2007
7. College Opportunity Act of 2007
8. Rebuilding America's Military Act of 2007
9. Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2007
Also on an average it takes about 10 Business days to debate and vote on bill.
Lookup at the senate calendar (working days week offs etc)
Lets assume (when have things gone right for us?) everything goes according to the order listed above. We have 80 days of work before CIR comes to senate.
Considering that senate takes weeks off (first from Feb 19-23, second from April 2-9). I don�t see how they can start CIR before May at the latest.
Now they might say some of the bills could be a days worth of work, or not necessary bills will be taken up in numerical order etc.
But I ask you again. When was the last time we were lucky?

Considering that "Have you ever?" has caused several posts, it is clear that such a question about the Bible does make people think. Now, why do people so many react to a question like that? Do they feel guilt? Do they feel satisfaction with their life? Do they have some secret hatred against Catholic Priests ever since they were 7 years old? Do they feel annoyed at all these constant "do they" questions?
How is it that a question about the Bible raises so much feedback, whereas a question like "Have you ever climbed Mount Everest?" would have little or no affect.
Staying on topic, I thought the end was already clear until omnom jumped ahead. :)

A 700billion$ bailout is not helping much. You think we can help the economy? We are at the mercy of the employers whose earning results are going down because of recession. :( It is hard for me to believe that we can help the economy by buying houses and how are the law makers going to get convinced? Show me the proof.

Sounds good!
"In simple English, the bill would eliminate the annual green card lottery and give the 55,000 green cards each year to foreign-born graduates of U.S. universities with advanced degrees in the sciences or in medicine.
With the employment-based second preference category (EB-2) backlogged for many years for persons born in India and mainland China, our country would benefit greatly if 55,000 more green cards were available annually for highly-educated people."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
However the bill would also benefit EB3, as the numbers will roll down from EB2. Not a bad deal, as it would reduce everyone's stress.

kpchal2 & seekerofpeace - I have run out of ideas now.
While we wait for October 1st (assuming visa numbers are over), what can be done in the next 13 days?
I am checking with different attorneys, and might change from my current attorney as he is totally useless. He opened a SR for me, and everytime I call him, he tells me to wait for 30 days.
I have taken Infopass, met the local senator, opened SR and nothing worked. Any ideas on what can be done next?
I went through this last year in August and September. Nothing happened, instead I got a reply in October (by that time my PD was not current), telling me that my PD was not current. They entirely ignored what I had expressed. Nothing can be done to bring results in 13 days. In any case, visas may have already exhausted, however, new visas will be available in October, so there is some hope.
Why cases seemingly work in random?
(i) Work is given out in lots. For example cases 1-100 are given to A, and 101-200 to B. Both begin to work at the same time. Cases 101 gets processed much earlier than case 100. It is possible that by the time case 90 is touched, all visas are gone, so cases 91-100 are left high and dry.
(ii) Receipt date is controvercial. Centers don't care when USCIS got your case. Each center cares when they (the centers) got the case. So for them, receive date is when the center received (which means opened and entered) your case. That's why true receive date is close to ND.
(iii) IO working on a lot suddenly falls sick, and goes away leaving his lot at his desk. Visas are used by other IO's
(iv) A file slipped out to behind the desk, and the case remains pending for a very long time.
(v)...

Yes we have received a similar RFE and can no longer go back to original civil surgeon. USCIS is very anal about TB test so if they don't get correctly documented result they issue an RFE. As per my lawyer many people are getting this type of RFE.
We went to a local civil surgeon and got whole test redone. Our civil surgeon did a physical but was able to get most of the vaccination records from last medical test. My suggestion will be to check with your local civil surgeon how he is willing to proceed. Most civil surgeons are not comfortable with signing documents for which someone else and would do the test again.
From what I learned from others is getting whole test done and submitting is fine. I am still in process of submitting my paper work for RFE so can not tell you USCIS's reaction for the same.
Bottom line is don't worry too much about this. but hurry up in getting an appointment with local civil surgeon as they have limited availability. :)
Thanks for the update!
Its the same for my wife too, TB and xray RFE.
I will have act act fast on this.
On a last note, do you know how much you paid for the TB and XRAY test in your city?
Was it covered by any insurance? or any method you can suggest to let insurance cover it?
Thanks again for your prompt inputs!

Guys,
I took an info pass last week to check the status of my case. Specifically to check whether the interfile is success or not. IO at USCIS office mentioned that she cannot check whether my case is in EB2 or EB3. I am surprised to hear that. Gurus any has this kind of experience?
Also, She mentioned that my case is assigned to an Officer on August 13th. Do any one has any info how many days(on average), an Office will take to approve a case. Any info. is helpful to me and all.
Overall the Field Office people were polite.
Thanks,

Also, If they have really mentioned INS, I bet they don't even know what AOS or pending I-485 is, because agency INS is no longer there but your wife's international office officials mind is still stuck in 2002.
I need urgent advice from you. As you know my wife is on F1 visa and completed most of her credit hours needed by school. She has get only 1 credit hr to complete the course. However, that�s below 9 hr full time student status. She has been asked to register for additional 8 hrs..and pay tuition fee accordingly ( > 8K). Which I think is unreasonable. They told her that if she doesn�t register by tomorrow they have to report it to INS. She told them that she has EAD..there answer doesn�t matter in order to remain in school and F1 visa she has to register.
My questions is:
1) Can she continue working on her Thesis on her EAD and AP ?
2) What will happen to her f1 if she use EAD
In response to these questions my Lawyer said
1.) yes, she can continue to be a student as an adjustment applicant � she can work using the EAD and travel using the AP.
2) she is basically no longer an F-1 because she has demonstrated immigrant intent by filing the adjustment. Which is fine � she has valid legal status as an adjustment applicant and can work with the EAD and travel with the AP.
What do pro�s think..:)

Ramba, what are different levels? example, I found something similar on flc data center website. How can I know which level I am in to?
Area Title: Town, State
OES/SOC Code: 15-1032
OES/SOC Title: Computer Software Engineers, Systems Software
Level 1 Wage: $29.48 hour - $62,111 year
Level 2 Wage: $32.92 hour - $71,347 year
Level 3 Wage: $37.37 hour - $78,603 year
Level 4 Wage: $41.81 hour - $85,838 year
Unless you your approved LC or PW determination by DOL of your old job, it is difficult know what level you are in. Generaly level1 is an entry level position and level 4 is highly exprienced position. Depending upon job descrption/duties, DOL might have allocated suitable level for your job in the LC stage. If your LC was filed before PERM, then it was only two level (level1 and level4). After PERM, they introduced 2 more intermediate level.
