Following up on my previous post. Here is the format for the ad and the affidavit. We went to the DC embassy to get the name changed and they have next day (business days only) passport-by-mail service. I don't think they have same day service.
Actual correct name: <corr_first_name> <corr_last_name>
Current Name on passport: <first_name_pp>
Name in US docs (Visa, SSN, Drivers Lic.):
<first_name_us> FNU _OR_ <first_name_us> <first_name_us>
Format of the ad we placed in Indian newspaper (TOI) and local US newspaper:
I, <first_name_pp> AKA <first_name_us> FNU AKA <first_name_us> <first_name_us> d/o <dads_name> R/o <indian_address/us_address> have changed my name to <corr_first_name> <corr_last_name>.
Format of Affidavit from India (on Rs. 10 Non Judicial Stamp Paper):
AFFIDAVIT
I, <first_name_pp>, D/o <dads_name>, R/o <indian_address>, do hereby take oath and solemnly declare as under:-
1. That I have declared my name as <first_name_us> <first_name_us> earlier.
2. That I have declared my name as <first_name_us> FNU earlier.
3. That now I want to change my name from <first_name_pp> to <corr_first_name> <corr_last_name>.
4. That in future I may be called as <corr_first_name> <corr_last_name> for all purposes
DEPONENT
VERIFICATION:
Verified at <city_name> on this <date> that the contents of the above affidavit are true and correct to the best of my knowledge and belief.
DEPONENT
The deponent above is the person whose name is being changed. Since my wife was here and the affidavit was to be made in India, my mother-in-law signed on my wifes behalf ...you know what I am saying... (ah! the things you can get done in India)
We found out at the embassy that we could have used our India issued marriage certificate (which had my wifes correct name) and avoid doing all this. Placing the ad, getting the affidavit and posting it to US all took a total of 1 week. We went to the DC embassy early on a Friday and we got the passport with the name changed via mail by Monday.
Another friend of mine got the same thing done via the mail-in service. It took him 2 weeks to get the passport back.
Hope this helps.

I understand JSB.
But question is how long is long...it comes down to sheer luck and chance which pre-adjudicated cases USCIS considered recheck and which they don't.
Also they may simply deny looking into my case even if preadjudicated by the ND of I-485 receipt being outside the window.
But again why are we trying to reason.
In the "Ask a lawyer" forum...attorney Ms Reddy mentioned USCIS is sending RFEs to all cases for possible preadjudication....and since she does not mention that multiple RFEs are impossible, I assume any preadjudicated case can get an RFE so the very term preadjudication is meaning less if it needs adjudication again.
And since you are putting time frame...and window of opportunity is far and few in between so essentially preadjudication is not a confirmed ticket to Greenhood.
My 2 cents.

In the bad economy if everyone can get EAD it will help more. All we need is an admin fix to allow filing of I485 and get EAD benefits
Desi3933 provided 'proof' that you need a legislative fix to allow filing of 485 when priority date is not current in this thread.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23695&referrerid=15623
Again, do start and pursue that effort in a separate thread.

Is this period (July 1st 2004 to Feb 28th 2005) considered as Legal Status assuming the following scenario
1.company Applied for H1 transfer on July 1st 2004
2.Started taking Training from the companyfrom July 1st 2004 and finished Training on 30th Aug 2004
3.Started the client project and got payslips from Sep1st 2004 till 15th Feb 2005
4.Got employment letter from company from July 1st 2004 to 28th Feb 2005
If I am not mistaken, you can start working for a new employer as soon as they apply for a H1 transfer. You have 240 day period, in which it must be approved. You should be ok, assuming that you got the approval within 240 days of July 1st 2004.

My problem is different, its not with the passport, it is with the 485 and G 325 forms where last name first name got interchanged for my wife. It was a hectic week for me and when my attorney send all the finished forms, I only noticed 3 forms that were wrong and got them corrected. I over looked the 485, G325A form and now that everything is filed and have gotten the FP notice, do not know how to correct them.
The scenario
correct names
AP I-131
EAD I-765
Interchanged names
I-485
G-325A
Does anyone know what to do, FP appointment on July 17th. I looked up all the wealth of information and could not find any input.

Plainspeak...no one here knows everything abt immigration. so its ok that u lost this argument. we are here to share out experiences, enlighten each other, and work for easing EB backlogs. The fact that theres no one in entire IV that supports ur argument should put some sense into you abt this issue.
and for everyone out there countering plain speak, know it will never end. i recently saw the sixth sense. the boy says 'they only believe what they want to believe'!
No one lost or won any argument here. Every side has stated their case. Please go ahead and believe what you want to believe but according to me belief is not something which waxes and wanes according to your supporters.'
Congrats on watching the sixth sense movie. Wow you are a big boy now. Before you start using that movie as an simile for what you are saying here, would you like me to explain what the movie was really about ...........

We are about a group of 10 - 15 ppl. in so.cal who actively take part in the action items and contribute inspite of having 113 registered members in the chapter. We recruited over 200 newbies in the past three events in southern california. Let's see if we can get all of them to register and get active

Instead of wasting time and arguing with others, why don't we start a Blog with this theme. You can put all these facts and the way other countries are doing the immigration process for the professionals. This may attract every one including the Government. In the mean time, we can start sending emails to the Congress men also.
After all these posts your plan of action is to start a blog and send emails to Congress. :D
Is that all you can think of? I suggest you educate yourself first on how laws in Congress are changed. Talk to others who were able to change laws in Congress. Then find out how they did it, money they spent, time it took and people it took.
In this country if you want to do anything via congress you have to lobby. Tell me one bill in this country that was passed because someone created a blog and emailed congress.

I have been in this country for 7 years and waiting for PD to apply for 485. I want to share with everybody how employers can really **** the GC. My labor was cleared in sept. 2004, that time it was current and was eligible for concurrent filing. My employer kept on delaying and applied during december christmas week end. Later he surprises me saying that it was rejected, attorney had sent 140 and 485 to California processing center instead of sending it to vermont. On the labor approval, it is clearly written that it should be sent to Vermont for 485. He did not provide me any proof that he had applied for 485 before retrogession was effective.
My spouse is equally qualified as I am and she is house wife from past 3 years. She thought of persuing masters, but we have to pay the fees of international students. The fees for residents is different than the fees for international students. We are not considered as residents though we pay our taxes here. The total fees to complete masters will not be less
than $22K.
I am also a slave like many. I would have had my EAD by Jan. 2005, my spouse would be working if she had EAD. At times it really frustrates me when I think about it. May be going back is a good option instead of getting ripped off from these *** employers and waiting for GC indefinitely. I cannot change my employer as I completed my 6 years unless there is a pre approved labor.

I see that the above discussion keeps on going on about EB-2 only. Doesn't anyone at IV care about EB-3 I also . I am sure there are a few EB-3 I people at IV who are suffering from retrogression , myself included.
I disagree with you. There are not FEW EB3 I people but MANY who are suffering! EB3 I is in 2001. Guys have been suffering for over 7 years. EB2 not more than 4 years (or max 5 years).
Who is retrogressed more? But guess what, EB3 is not as skilled as EB2 despite they are here for over 7 years and hence it is OK for them to part their family, go through retrogression pains more than others do, expose their career more than others do, pay more H1B renewals and EAd renewals (revenue for Govt) but get stepmotherly treatment.
The irony is over 15-25% (a very conservative figure) of these EB3 people are actually qualified to be EB2s!! It is just because of their employer/lawyer laziness they were filed under EB3.

Saint,
I am also in same boat!! no Communication yet eventhoug my company lawyer applied on 2nd april in MS quota with PP.
Which center you case went to? Mine went to California service center ( CSC).
Hope for best!!!
My lawyer and company headquarters are in CA. However, I am going to be working in a different branch. So, I am guessing that most likely my application is in CSC, since I do not have a formal notification from my lawyer as to where he sent it.
