It looks like USCIS is interpreting the rule the way they like.
It looks to me that they have lots of pressure from big companies and they are approving their applications in Particular. e.g., EB2-I with PD of 2006 are getting approvals, however EB2-I with PD in 2004 are still waiting.
There is no FIFO here and there is no clear rule. They can do whatever they like.
I am EB3-I too, plz don't take me wrong.

Yup, you got it buddy......my point is more from a general perspective than any individual scenarios........and sledge_hammer.....I am well aware of the risk associated with every investment - I do own a house and am paying monthly mortgage installments even when knowing that my investment is at least 100k under water :)......so I perfectly understand the risk that comes with any investment AND i am not blaming my lender for giving me money - as I said before, I could afford it then and I can afford it now!
I am against this 'nobody saw it coming' and 'too big to fail' business - banks very well knew what was coming and what would it's effect be; they still went ahead and irresponsibly gave out money to people who can't even afford an eat out at Mcdonalds!!!! Nobody should give any bail out to these guys - let them suffer for what they have done; if I am acting responsibly for my deeds (paying monthly installment because I signed up for it) the same should apply to these banks - they should be allowed to fail simply on the fact that they didn't make good business decisions!
From the punjabi's perspective, it is entirely punjabi's fault. Because he knew what he is getting into when he signed the contract. From the public perspective, the banks were stupid to loan money to everthing that moves and later asking for bailout money from tax payers. I think this is what RDB is trying to say.

I guess only a minority of people get stuck in name check ( unlike immigration portal forums , the FBI namecheck discussion thread doesn't move much) or may be that majority still in the 'waiting for receipt notice/FP' mode.

This verdict opens up another front for the IV core- Judiciary.
From my understanding , IV core has so far Lead/co-ordinated efforts to impress upon the congress and executive branch of the legal immigration issues.
Judiciary can be used to further exert pressure on congress. Because ultimately relief has to come from congress.

I have posted this note on flower campaign related threads, I aplozise for polluting the threads but the point is to look forward and decide what do we want to do next.
With a successful flower campaign to USCIS, we must draw our conclusions from this success, and use the outcome to make the San Jose rally a success.
Please note that legal immigrants is a small handful set of people. Just a usual rally/demonstration will not make a dramatic impact. We have learned from the flower campaign that if we use innovative-peaceful ways of demonstrations, and manage Public Relations and Media well, we can be successful once again.
Please think and try to come up with some ideas. I have come up with these four ideas:
1. Project Martin Luther King Jr. as our hero in these rallies: Please understand that local Amrican people better understand about Martin Luther King Jr. andhis idealogy then M.K. Gandhi. My suggestion is that we should include large picture posters of Martin Luther King Jr. with a slogan "We legals too have a dream". We should also take Gandhi's posters. There is a possibility that all Black American organization may lend their support to us.
2. An act that attracts media attention: Please remember the scene from Gandhi movie when protesters led by Gandhi peacefully burned their resident permits in South Africa. To do something similar and show our symbolic protest against USCIS, we can publically burn a Photocopy of our H1B approvals (I-797). Please note that we are not asking people to burn the original I-797 approval but a photocopy of the document. This will send a message that taking the great pain in obtaining these legal documents are not helping us getting a better treatment by USCIS. This act will perfectly portrey the pain of legal immigrants and once again will attract media and newsprint to keeps us in headlines. This should be part of our demonstrations.
3. Waive American Flags: Please understand that recent media reports that only Indians are responsible for the flower campaign may hurt the campaign in the longer term. Please waive small American flags and show our solidarity with local Americans.
4. Distrubute a flower with a pamphlet to the people passing by at the demonstration site. A well worded paper will be required that can project our problems to the people.
Please share if you come up with innovative ideas to make these rallies a huge success.

dude, how many immigrants/H1/L1/GC/Gc->US citizens work for google/Msoft/Yahoo. And if you are naming these corporations as the benchmark of success/technical excellence why do you not listen to what they say about visa programs?
In addition why have these companies set up big shops in India. Although the innovations didn't happen there and there are several valid reasons for that, but just the fact that they have big footprints there means that they are able to find talent there.

Do not think this to discourage or anything like that...
Guys .. Pls stop dreaming.. you do not have any idea what you are talking about..
Guys in this thread may be newcomers to the game..
I was here since 1998... and cud not stop surprised to see the ideas in this thread..veeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrryy yyyyyyyy farrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr from reality.
Better to wor for admin things like visa recapture, some admin things within INS w/o any legislative action.
Do you guys have any idea that it needs legislative approval for things you are dreaming of...
It means it shd win in 100 members senate and in 500+ members house.
As Pappu suggested it is better to get more publicity, funds and then work for few admin things first(Gives a big relief) ...
But guys, what you are thinking is far beyond the dream itself.
I guess Pappu is the only guy active in Core now...
However let us concentrate as Core suggested, as they know the realities/pains involved.
Pappu, any core members active other than yourself, because i did not see a core member other than you fr more than a year...

I came across a couple who got their H1B approvals last yr with in 3 weeks to each other. One of them was in PIMS and other one not. So I feel approval date does not seem to be a criteria to base these delays upon.:confused:
Good Luck to everyone including myself!:(
both H1 were approved from the same USCIS center? the one which is stuck in PIMS, which service center it was?

Teddy, I agree some of your data. Mine would be (90% confidence level)
EB1 (16K this year, conservative based 12K-24K possibility)
EB5 (8K, has been consistent)
EB2 ROW (10K, last year only 9K, and EB2 ROW has been consistent)
EB2 I/C 6K
Total 40K
EB3 porting 6K, ppl missed the 07/2007 w PD b/4 07/2007, 1K
EB2 I/C inventory at the beginning of Oct. 2010 (since we calculated based on normal EN2 I/C 6K, 5800 exactly). 34K. DOS show 32K while CIS inventory showed 34.8K, and we should have some approvals for ppl filing who missed 07/07 w PD b/4 07/07
So it looks like it can just clear all 07/2007. WOW.
I am sure DOS and CIS have better communication now, and they should.
The Million Dollar question will be
1. DOS will have to release some visa number early, if they don't want to waste visa, considering CIS can only approve (say 8K per month even with pre-adjudicated cases)
THAT IS WHY THEY WERE SAYING MAY. And the EB1 trend takes some time for them to declare it, mostly EB1 India bodyship crack down from late 2001.
2. DOS/CIS will consider those in approvals
a. There will be new filings EB1 EB2 ROW, EB1 I/C who missed 07/2007 w/ PD b/4 07/07. BUT processing time is about 4 months, so they could and must file in May to get it approved be end of Sept 2011 (fiscal year end of 2011). THAT IS WHY THEY WERE SAYING MAY as well.
b. After May, they will have good idea of 2a (EB1 EB2 ROW, EB2 I/C) total approvals this year. So in June July Aug. they will approve (EB1, EB2 ROW, EB2 I/C) who filed before end of May, and ALL REST NUMBERS (ALMOST CERTAIN FOR DOS/CIS at that time), AND START EB2 I/C SPILLOVER, maybe divided by 3 MONTHS, or FRONT LOAD
c. AUGUST, CRITICAL MONTH. HOPEFULLY they still have some numbers left, and DOS has to consider if CIS can approve enough to usa all visa numbers (NO WASTE please). SO they may give some buffer, HOPEFULLY say 9/8/2007. REMEMBER, they learned lesson, so no CURRENT. ALSO, they can take in applicants and don't have to approve in AUGUST.
I would say PD for EB2/I in SPET/2011 would be
100% pass 05/31/2007
80% pass 06/30/2007
50% pass 07/31/2007
30% pass 08/31/2007
0 pass 09/31/2007
AS FOR FREELOADER THINGS, I have no idea I was banned for posting (just b/c I said one fact before? There is another blog out there?)
ALSO, all visitors ARE NOT FREELODERS, for god's sake, they may click your ads, ask good questions, write good analysis, share good information (they spend the one most valuable thing in life in those forum, and those time they cannot take back!).

HAVE a great weekend, and keep the hope. GOOD luck for those warriors in DC!!!! THANKS
I believe that we will get 14-15K from EB2 ROW, EB1 = 12K (currently) + 6K (Minimum), regular cap I/C 6K. Eb2 row usage is down to 60%.
Total Numbers = 14 + 18 + 6 = 38K.
Now total demand is not just 34K demand data we also have porting and new filings especially from May - Jul 2007. My assumption of porting has been 6K out of which 2K have been approved.
So really its almost an exact match till Jul - Aug 2007. We should wait for the May bulletin thing to come true firts I believe VDLRAO gave a great calculation for that.

Hello every one,
1. If they are legally here for 10 years (With approved I-140 and waiting for Adjustment of Status without current date).
2. If they have earned full 40 points in Social Security
3. If they have paid the tax continuously for 10 years
4. If they own a house and paying Mortgage (adding weightage to the Economy boost)
and
5. If they do not have any criminal records in these 10 years.
You know some people meet all these conditions with the exception of approved i-40 and don't even have a pending Green Card application because their employers are just waiting for their H1 to be used up and then "kick them out".
I think if you meet all the conditions enumerated above, u should be automatically given a Green Card.

Good Job SUnnySurya, Congrats on this achievement, it helps people with more merits.
Consulting companies with fake skills/resumes will be busted now to get GC..
Not only consulting companies but genuine companies in the software arena will also face trouble. If I interpret it correctly, most new hires at places like Google, MSFT, Amazon etc. even if having MS from top-notch universities in the US can apply only under EB-3 as their job description will fall in Job Zone 4.
On the other hand somebody having a non-IT or CS degree from a mom&pop University can find a job, state its "research" and upgrade to Job Zone 5 and apply under EB-2.
I wonder how this will fly with the affected companies?

I just received my 2 year EAD. Priority date is Nov 2002 - EB3 -India. Well I guess that says it all. If USCIS thinks that Nov 2002 will take at least another 2 years then I dunno what about the rest. I didn't wanna think about EB2 porting being so close and spend another 10k, I guess just need to stop worrying about it now. :)
It will be 10K spent well if you decide to do that!

how important is that card?
any way to get a duplicate/copy??
you might be able to get a duplicate by contacting the college/university.
my case is somewhat similar, but I dont have that option: I was on L2-EAD and I cannot find that damn EAD card (needed for filing EAD based on I485). However I do have the older I-797 so can atleast prove status...

Folks,
I would like to run a questions by you guys/gals. I am getting ready to file my I-485 application. My lawyer requested that I find all copies of my I-20, OPT EAD, H1-B's etc. My question is do we have to submit copies of I-20, and OPT EAD for the Adjustment of status (I-485) stage ? Please let me know what you think ?
I-20 is from a university that accept students in the US. The F1 student visa is issued based on the I-20.
OPT EAD - Is one year of practical training that is allowed after graduation
It would help if someone can put a list of all documents needed for 485 filing on this thread to help all such questions.

Dear Sirs/Madams,
Good morning!! With reference to your previous e mail talking about "living in US for 5 years, pay taxes and get a green card". Also, " living in US for 10 years get a citizenship". It reminds me that a few days ago, from the other forum, I see someone talking about the bill "HR264", there is several items in this bill. However, there is only one section in this bill mentioned about "granting green card to people who have stayed in US for 5 years or more". I do believe the chance to pass this bill is very very small because right now the economic recession is so deep that no one knows when it will be recovered.
Also, I know some people who have won the diversity visa lottery and get the immigrant visa to US to be the permanent resident and then stayed in US for another 5 years and get the citizenship.
But some people (for example like my situation) who have stayed in US and fully paid foreign student tuition fees as a foreign student for 10 years (6 years in several degrees then graduate and then back home and then come back to US to study another advanced degree for 4 years and total 10 years as foreign student) still cannot get the green card. After I finish my doctorate degree, I got a company sponsored me the H-1B visa but the quota is full and I pack all things back to my home country until now. So I just wonder when will "granting green card to people who have stayed in US for 5 years"and whether it will be true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder whether this 5 years only for people who have worked here for 5 years in
H-1B visa or not?????????
Good luck to all of you and thanks for everyone's attention!!
Sad to see how much you had to struggle, but I know and I'm one of them who are here for close to 10 years and paid taxes etc.. If 100,000 of us make the right noise, then we may be heard.
As someone here is saying, following a GC step before Citizenship makes BS to me. You have done whats needed to be a citizen (dont go by the book, doesnt even appear there is one). They have delayed it for no fault of applicants. So this is the way to correct it.
Lets say I am 10th grade student who invented a cure for cancer. Will you oppose if MIT gives me a hon. Doctorate. That may be an extreme example but what we are asking for is something much smaller and well-deserved. After 10-15 years, the only rule should be to look at the paystubs and criminal record. Not which company you worked for or how much you were **ed by X employer. The case must just be yours independent on any employer. PERIOD.
Current economic situation.. SHOW how you can contribute. There is something called timing,. so THIS is the timing to ask for Citizenship so that you can BUY HOUSES AND START COMPANIES.. and thats how you help America to come out of this.

But some people (for example like my situation) who have stayed in US and fully paid foreign student tuition fees as a foreign student for 10 years (6 years in several degrees then graduate and then back home and then come back to US to study another advanced degree for 4 years and total 10 years as foreign student) still cannot get the green card. After I finish my doctorate degree, I got a company sponsored me the H-1B visa but the quota is full and I pack all things back to my home country until now. So I just wonder when will "granting green card to people who have stayed in US for 5 years"and whether it will be true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I wonder whether this 5 years only for people who have worked here for 5 years in
H-1B visa or not?????????
Good luck to all of you and thanks for everyone's attention!!
Sad to see how much you had to struggle, but I know and I'm one of them who are here for close to 10 years and paid taxes etc.. If 100,000 of us make the right noise, then we may be heard.
As someone here is saying, following a GC step before Citizenship makes BS to me. You have done whats needed to be a citizen (dont go by the book, doesnt even appear there is one). They have delayed it for no fault of applicants. So this is the way to correct it.
Lets say I am 10th grade student who invented a cure for cancer. Will you oppose if MIT gives me a hon. Doctorate. That may be an extreme example but what we are asking for is something much smaller and well-deserved. After 10-15 years, the only rule should be to look at the paystubs and criminal record. Not which company you worked for or how much you were **ed by X employer. The case must just be yours independent on any employer. PERIOD.
Current economic situation.. SHOW how you can contribute. There is something called timing,. so THIS is the timing to ask for Citizenship so that you can BUY HOUSES AND START COMPANIES.. and thats how you help America to come out of this.
