Finally I also filled my I-1485 for Green card on 08/15/2007 just before a day as 17th is the last day to receive the application. I was bit lucked out in this case as my new PERM though Yahoo! got approved on 08/14/2007 evening at 5.00 PM and immediately before 24-hours I filled my I-1485 (Employment Authorization Document (EAD), Advance Parole, adjustment of status along with my new I-140 under EB2).
Earlier I had my I-140 through my previous company and Yahoo! re-filled my PERM immediately to capture the priority date and now am also one of the thousands of folks waiting for the receipt. Badly as I also do not have the visa stamped in my passport; that means I can not travel outside of the USA until I get the EAD…Not sure what is this travel logic…..
Thanks to Bernadette Vergara from Yahoo! immigration team who made this happen along with Petra Bloom, Clifford Chin and Sarah Tinati from USABal.
