first, NIW　当前了，one month后485（注意是基于EB1-A的485）批了，半天后受到
EB1A-140批准信，再后来 card ordered, will receive card in 7 days.
谁能说说这收到的是什么卡？　别是
EB2吧？还是EB1？

By Paul Whitefield
July 12, 2012, 2:06 p.m.
Boy, am I steamed: I just found out that the U.S. Olympic team’s opening
ceremony outfits were made in China!
I’m so mad as I write this that I’m in danger of breaking the keyboard of
my computer, which was made in -- oops -- China.
This news has had me upset all morning. First, I heard it on my Chinese-made
radio. My wife was out, so I texted her on my made-in-China cellphone.
When I’m this mad, I need a workout. I pulled on my made-in-Vietnam running
shoes and went for a jog. It didn’t help.
So I showered and got dressed for work, putting on clothes -- holy cow, mine
were also made in China! (Not the dress shoes, though -- they were made in
India.)
Then I got into my Japanese car to drive to work. Naturally, the guy on the
radio was talking about this affront to all things American (OK, mostly I
listened to another guy, who was talking about the Lakers’ chances of
getting Dwight Howard, but I’m so over the Lakers right now).
Then I saw I needed gas, so I stopped at an Arco station, which last time I
checked was still owned by what used to be called British Petroleum.
But I digress. Something has to be done. As Sen. Harry Reid said Thursday:
"I am so upset. I think the Olympic committee should be ashamed of
themselves... I think they should take all the uniforms, put them in a big
pile and burn them. And start all over again.”
You go, Harry, another problem-solver in Washington. Of course, then he
jumped the shark:
"I hope they wear nothing but a singlet that says 'USA' on it painted by
hand. We have people in America working in the textile industry who are
desperate for jobs."
Oh, Harry. Yes, we do have people desperate for jobs. No, we don't want our
athletes looking like some of those Soviet Bloc teams from the 1970s.
So why don’t you just run along, Harry, and do what Congress always does --
convene a hearing. You know, call in the Ralph Lauren folks and scold them
on camera. After all, the Republicans just held another “show vote” on the
healthcare law; I’ll bet you could get plenty of posturing on this one,
even bipartisan posturing.
Because in the end, that’s all this controversy is: posturing.
What, did Reid and Nancy Pelosi and John Boehner do a Rip Van Winkle? Did
they suddenly wake up and discover that American-made goods -- and the jobs
that produced them -- kinda got up and went over the last 30 years or so?
I mean, we may be about to elect a guy who has no problem with outsourcing U
.S. jobs, and who once ran a company that did just that. Even columnist
Michael Kinsley argued in Thursday’s Times that outsourcing has gotten a
bad rap.
So I think I’ll just root for Team USA in the Olympics, whatever they’re
wearing.
And I'll do it while watching them on my made-in-China TV.

From the way you talk, did you submit just one 485 based on EB1A? Then this
approval is very likely for your EB1A, although your NIW PD became current
later.
Well, no matter what category it is in, this green card has exactly the same
benefits and responsibilities, and it does not matter.
Cong!
