And that is the problem with new bees. They do not have knowledge about the prevalent effects of past occurances and generally people decide about filing by hearing 4 frineds and reading 3 suggestions from the forum. In my opinion, assuming USCIS will work like the way it is working till now, it is dangerous for somebody to apply a "new File" under Eb2 category. Again this is based on assumption that everything will rmain the same way. If tomorrow there will be a drastic change in the law like 800000 total EB visas per year then things will be changed. If I would be 2007 filer, I would file under EB3 category.

Menendez Wants CIR During Lame Duck Session
By Jerry Kammer , September 20, 2010
On yesterday's "Al Punto," the Spanish-language TV network Univision's Sunday morning news program, Sen. Robert Menendez said he will introduce "comprehensive immigration reform" legislation in hopes of getting it passed during the upcoming lame duck session of Congress.
"If we are going to be ready for the opportunity that perhaps will exist during the session after the elections -- where many senators are retiring and have the freedom to vote without political considerations -- we have to have something so that we can make progress at that moment in November," the New Jersey Democrat said in an interview with host Jorge Ramos.
If the bill does not pass in November, he said, he and other supporters of the legislation will be ready to move when the new Congress convenes in January.
In a separate segment of the same program, Ramos interviewed Arizona Gov. Jan Brewer, who rejected claims that the state's controversial new immigration law, widely known as SB 1070, is racist and anti-Hispanic.
"The Hispanic population is part of our DNA, and that's why it's so painful when persons think that it is based in racism," Brewer said. (This is a translation of the program's Spanish-language voice-over of her remarks.) She called Hispanics "a fundamental part of our culture."
"We passed SB 1070 because we cant accept the costs of illegal immigration," Brewer told Ramos.

Hi
Does any of you know if we get called for an inteview before the approval of the I-485? I have seen some posts where people were called for interviews but is this standard or do they call you only if they need to verify something?

Dear All,
This is just to inform you that I have posted (not emailed) letters to the Pres, Speaker, Congressman, Issa (letter of thanks) and Senators on the subject bill
Request all those who believe that this will help our community to write a letter / send a mail (whatever conveniences you)
It is unfortunate that almost all our discussions end up becoming vitriolic, passionate and divisive. Just keep doing what we all can to help get more visas for us and IF POSSIBLE let us try to be united. The logic as I see is - the more number of visas for us, the more we gain. I have no more comments to offer.
I only hope and wish the community the very best!
Thank you...

Weldonspring,
I am on the same board. I am also planning the samething.
1) After 11 weeks that is next week Friday call the customer service and raise a Service Request
2) Within 2 wks no response, on 90th day I will walk into the local office (SFO) and ask for interim EAD.
3) If Still create the issues, packe the bags and go back to home country. It is really bad,
getting frustrating for everything no regulare process and always waiting.
So I give up, I applied on april 1st and still waiting no updates:mad:

Enough is enough. I am ready to sign this.
I have 3 real names. All were working for Cognizant. One had 3 years of exp. Cooked up with 4 years of B.Tech and totalled it as 7 years. Came on L1 as PM and applied in EB1. He got GC in less than 1 year. Other 2 had real 7 years exp and got GC's in 8 months. All were working at Client's place and NOT intra company transfers.
I am not selfish. But I am sure this guy with 3 years exp may one day become a boss for any of us.
This misuse will hurt the genuine cases. Shall we we go serious and complaint? I am ready to sign and submit all the proof.
Actually I have heard of another cognizant case. But that was through a friend's friend chain so I am not sure how reliable it was. But seems like cognizant has been following this practice a lot.
Thats true..if they are getting GC by wrongly claiming to be qualified for EB1 then they should not be spared..
Oh..wait..then what about the ppl who cook up their resumes to come here on H1B..who cook up their resumes during Labor process (for GC)..it doesnt matter they end up in EB-2 or EB-3.
I am not saying everybody who got GC cooked up facts..My point is its bigger than just EB-1.
If you want to complain then it should be followed for everyone. Lets have a running thread for that, lets make a complaint with all such ppl we know..
No offense meant to you both.:)

Hi,
My company recently did layoffs. Can they file for new perm application? Do they need to wait for some specific time before they are filing new perm application? I believe that, at least they will be required to wait for 6months.
Kindly confirm this.

Is there anyone whose case was transferred to Local Office and got approval ? My PD is May 24, 2006 EB2 and still no change in status.
Hi,
What does the notification from USCIS about the case transfer say? Does it just say that 'case is transferred and is now being worked on at USCIS office' or does it actually spell out where was it transferred like 'texas service center'?
In two days, I received two such notices, one in which case was transferred to TSC and next one received two days later which does not identify which office it is transferred to.

DOS allocates GC numbers to USCIS adjustment cases only as the point of approval is reached. DOS can set/move/retrogress PD based on info provided by USCIS about number of cases at point of approval.
USCIS is not able to provide a good estimate of this number because
it can not calculate this number based on USCISs workload, and
it does not know the number of cases DOL will send to them. DOL again can not calculate the number of cases (it will send to USCIS) based on DOLs worload.
The following are from page 35 and beginning of page 36
The key to addressing this management issue at USCIS is to understand the dynamic interplay of priority dates and shifting workloads of three departments, and to know with greater precision and accuracy the size and details of USCIS� workloads.
The tri-agency meetings seek to expand inter-agency communication regarding expected new demands and surges, workflows, and priority dates. During the meetings, there is an examination of the case management systems and data collection processes used to assess workflows through each entity, particularly USCIS.
Although USCIS stated in its 2006 Annual Report Response (at p. 8) that it provides detailed data to DOS, the tri-agency group identified gaps in USCIS� data.

Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
My case was stuck in BEC for a couple of years and was cleared some time back. (Disclaimer).
But I totally sympathise with you. A few of my friends are still stuck in BEC and I feel very bad that I am moving forward even though my PD is newer than theirs.
I believe this issue can be very easily resolved with some kind of grassroot level push from all of us, lawyers and law makers. If USCIS can process 50,000+ applications in a matter of days, what is preventing another govt. agency from processing a similar number of applicants in a couple of weeks? Only thing is that they all need to be made aware of this injustice. I believe this is the next agenda that IV should take up.
I am going to send a PM to IV core regarding this issue. Any one else with me on this?
Cheers,
h1techSlave

My wife and son are going to India on vacation this summer. Their current H4 visa got expired (June 2006) on their passports. They have a valid I-797 notice expiring Oct 2007.
However, I am applying my H1B extension next month and will get 3 years extension sometime in May 2007. I want to get them visa stamp based on my new approval notice.
For dependent H4 visa stamp, do they need their own approval notice 797 or principal's approval notice be sufficient to get the stamping?
Thanks.

GC is moving target, looks like some drunkard wakes up one fine morning and randomly moves the priority date value/importance. I know those in such situation may be relatively less in number but I know many who are and repurcussions for this look horrible for people who have not made past this luck test. I was one of the unlucky ones :(. good luck to guys who have moved forward hope you still help rest of us still stuck.
Oh Yeah??
So why didn't we accept the current retrogression as "injustice and screwed up process of USCIS" and just sat tight? Why did IV get started? Why threadful of messages moaning in agony over the retrogression? What warranted those threads, and for that matter, IV then?

Hi,
My daughter's pp expired March '06. We live in FL, so we need to apply to the Houston center.
So do we (a) apply for a new passport? or is it still 'renewal'?
(b) send renewal fees? how much - is it the same for an adult pp?
Believe me, I have searched all over, up-and-down, for any info on this specific situation (child pp, expired more than one year) but in vain :(.
Thanks,
Radha
