In profile you enter application receipt numbers which you want to track online. Information you see for a specific application will not be different.
Benefits of profile are:
1) Don’t have to remember the receipt number
2) Will get email for any updates on your application.

Here are my thoughts about this so called Conversation:
the topic of discussion will be - how to get illegals a greencard in a quick/fair manner. Any discussion of legal non-immigrants and pains they have to go through in the current EB2/EB3/Visa stamp topics will be considered taboo.
It's sad but inevitable. Illegals are potentially in a better position to get greencard than legals like us.

if you qualified and filed for 485 depending on your PD, you most probably will get only 1 year extension. I just filed mine May 29th for 3 years and filed my 485 June 8th but when approved I got my H1 extension approved only for 1 year. I may be wrong, just referencing what my lawyer said..
Before they used to approve one or three years based on either Receive Date or
approval date (random) of your H1 extension application.
But in the latest FAQ http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/EBFAQ1.pdf (question 17),
they announced that if your PD is not current at the time of your *date of filing/received date*, they will give
you three years extension.
I applied my extension on July 9th thinking that my PD is not current based on July 2nd VB. :(
Now it seems I get only one year extension.

Thanks for your help. I'm not quite sure what you mean by reading it into a structure and then type cast it to a character pointer...Do you mean read in those bytes into an array or?? Any and all help would be appreciated!

I think this would be an easy and effective ammendment request. The USCIS considers BS + 5years equivalent to Masters(advanced degree).
As per Spectors/Frists bills, the Advanced Degree holders with 3 years exp in related field will have no numerical limts. First of all, can we interpret advanced degree as (BS + 5 years) ?
If not, is it possible to request these senotors to add that? It would be easy to add compared to requesting them of removing the country quota.
I belive most of the EB3 candidates have 5 years of experience. tHE REST OF THEM MAY BE ATLEAST 3 + YEARS EXPERIENCE WHICH THEY MAY THEN NEED TO WAIT ONLY 2 OR 3 YEARS TO REACH THAT 5 YR MARK).
The advanced degree is already interpreted by DOL as BS + 5 years.
Its interpreted by USCIS as BS + 2 years.
I request the IV to clarify this and request Spector/Frists to add this. There may be some reason for them removing that section 5. But adding a BS + 5yr interpretation to advanced degree wouldn't be an issue for them.

To my best knowledge the PD is set at the I-140 stage. As a matter of fact, there's a field in the administrative part of that form where the PD is stated. Short of saying that it wouldn't be possible to claim an earlier PD at the I-485 stage I would assume that your lawyer should jump much more loops to get you an earlier PD then.
Thank you all for your response. As per him ( my attorney) - you apply for I-485 with the new I-140. Provide reference to earlier PD as reason for your application. He provided the following text from the USCIS's I-140/I-485 adjudication document.
If an alien is the beneficiary of two (or more) approved employment-based immigrant visa petitions, the priority of the earlier petition may be applied to all subsequently-filed employment-based petitions. For example:
Company A files a labor certification request on behalf of an alien ("Joe") as a janitor on January 10, 2003. The DOL issues the certification on March 20, 2003. Company A later files, and USCIS approves, a relating I-140 visa petition under the EB-3 category. On July 15, 2003, Joe files a second I-140 visa petition in his own behalf as a rocket scientist under the EB-1 category, which USCIS approves. Joe is entitled to use the January 10, 2003, priority date to apply for adjustment under either the EB-1 or the EB-3 classification
ANYBODY HAS A DOCUMENT COUNTERING IT ( STATING IT CAN NOT BE DONE AT I-485 OR IT MUST BE DONE AT I-140). PLEASE PROVIDE LINKS OR REFERENCES. SORRY FOR THE URGENCY.

I have decided to go for the SB-600 rather than the 800 because I don't think I need the extra functions at this point. It will save on $$$ and weight too.
Thanks,

As previously stated you have to maintain H1 status for the the spouse to be on H4. If you change status to AP/EAD then your spouse will be out of status. I am in the same position as you are. My PD recently became current and my wife filed last month I-485, AP, EAD. You can change jobs but new company has to sponsor/transfer your H1.

True. Its just a dream. You work on something for 20 years and get a GC at 45. What are you getting after that. Just continue your dream for another 20 to 30 years and call it a day.
If you get it by 25, you have some years to go hit something for your life.
I stopped worrying on GC and started living on tasks that help my family. I have a job now. If lost, I will go for another job and another and another in India/Europe/Australia/so and so. But surely not going to die or go to hospital for depression.

My 485 was filed on july 2nd, have'nt recieved the RN,Now i want to file for EAD/AP without RN (cos need it badly for my wife) but the lawyer is advicing against it. He says...
My concern in filing the EAD/AP applications without the I-485 Receipt Notice is that it will take USCIS a long time to marry the files together, and that much longer to adjudicate, versus filing the EAD/AP applications with the I-485 Receipt Notice. In the latter case, the application can stand on its own, in that USCIS does not have to "search" for any other file; in this instance, we suspect USCIS will adjudicate these applications faster.
Anyone in the same boat..
I feel your lawyer is definitely correct. If you send I485, EAD and AP forms together, you don't need to worry about A#. Whereas if you file I485 only and then apply EAD and AP later, you definitely need A#(which you can find in I485 receipt notice) to fill in the EAD and AP forms. What # would you give in these forms for A#?
But again this is my personal thought.
