Not approvable, Priority (Date) is not current. This is EB3-I and just filed LC. How come one can expect physical card in the mail today or tomorrow or in the coming weeks?

Actually they decided to completely do away with all visa numbers, EB2/3 and country limits and stuff. All GC applicants with process in whatever stage (even LC) will automatically get GC's before the end of the year. If you don't get GC by then, the 485/140/LC receipt will be acceptable in place of GC everywhere.

They made some amendment recently. As per the new rule, if you buy grocery from USCIS authorized stores in your area, then you can use the grocery bill as a GC. Once you start using the grocery bill as GC, then you have to buy groceries from the same or similar store for at least 180 days.

Guys, you got it all wrong. As per the new rules, you need to print your GC yourself. Just make sure that you do put your picture.

Also,
USCIS will pay for one family trip to your home country every year. Employers will be required to provide one month's extra paid vacation for that purpose as well.

Also, for a limited time, you're also allowed to print a GC for all your close relatives and childhood friends.

I guess, this is the time Washington should hear our voice. The III group is a non-profit organization which is planning a rally at every major grocery stores. Lets all call our congressman, house representative to support the 'Picture bill' to allow the GC applicants to use their picture(any picture) as a GC.

That's asking too much. I was hoping that while passing through immigration checks next time I travel out of the country, I could just wink at the IO and be cleared.

hi Naanyaar
I see waiting for GC has some benefits. You are becoming philosopher (naanyaar) and reading lot of Sidhar padalkal .Keep it up. I went almost insane before getting the GC
