There are 37275 applications with PD of 2004 or earlier. Can we make an assumption that about 20 to 30% of these would try to port once economy turns around in the next 18 to 24 months? How will this impact wait time for a EB2 with PD Jan 2006?
I am really disappointed in the info provided via the foia effort. It told me that there are only 4118 applications before me. 4118 vs 28074. Worst kind of sick joke.
Based on the PD on my 140 Approval Notice (May-2004) there are 28074 applications before me. This is the correct date.
Based on the PD on my 485 Interview Notice (Aug-2007) there are 53192 applications before me.
I do not know how my application was counted when the data was put together.
Huh.... How did you got this information of how many applications are in queue before you??? Am I missing something here...:confused:

My wife and I are planning to apply as dependents for each other.
Reasons:
My company is doing so-so.
On the other hand if and when we have kids, she would like to stay at home if possible.
The only thing that is not clear is we probably should file only 1 EAD/AP.
For now, we are thinking we will apply for EAD/AP through her I140.

i got my 'decision' email on 10th. But after that nothing. No CPO email/No welcome email/ No LUD.
I am hoping that they didn't let my case 'drop through cracks'. Considering USCIS's way of working I wouldn't be surprised. Will give a week or two more.

Let me give you an example and you would understand my point. USCIS Customer Services Directorate received 16 million calls from the public and 300,000 from Members of Congress. Add to it, all other items people do to get attention for their case and think that by sending an email or a phone call from Senator or by a lawyer, the officer will realize his mistake and quickly open the file and approve it. If you look at the responses people post to their inquiries, you would see that most responses are standard. USCIS is not just approving 140K greencards but more than a million greencards, hundreds of thousands of H1 and other visa types, EADs etc...every year. Greencards do not get issued on the day date gets current. It is not a automatic process. There is lot of human work involved and many people do not understand that or spend time understanding it. They would rather waste their time either on useless task of tracking or calling customer service every single day.
i understand everybit you explained here but your missing human anxiousness whether it is GC or OC(no meaning) people willnot stop doing enquiry i think you might did to and being hypocritic that everyone is anxious about doing so the explaination looks like your working in uscis customer care and taking care of all this everyone knows that uscis doesnot only deals GC and not only we are calling them
take it easy brother

OK I will help in the research.. but this is what I have seen.. all the lawyers are just advising or strongly advising.. no one has metioned why one should NOT do multiple applications, the only reason I have heard so far is that multiple applications (4 - if both the spouses apply for each other as dependents) may cause confusion in allocating the A# and that may lead to problems and complications and eventual delays....
but both me and my wife already have A#'s so does that mean that there wont be any confusion as uscis need not allot A#'s for us.....
jeez.. man ... some one should know better......
anyways I will do more research and pm you if I find any more information apart from what I have stated above.
ArunAntonio, can you pls help search other threads so that we can lay all arguements in one thread and see how different lawyers approach this issue. Only pick answers from lawyers and no opinions. Once we have all advices in one place it will be easy to decide and see pros and cons

Pls explain how your stmt can be true. IF a person does not have a transit visa how does one clear immigration...hmmmmm. TV is just another way to make money for transiting thru the country. The sad part is we don't even get to move between terminals to proceed to the next flight. Agreed one has to do some due diligence before traveling but people do make mistakes. No one is arguing abt the TV but for the process and difficulty in obtaining one. Enough said.
It really is amazing how much hot air has been generated on this thread over a well established transit visa requirement.
The reason transit visas are required in the UK is that many passengers with an intention to transit the UK have stayed. The transit visa was introduced as a way of making sure (as much as possible) that the passenger has the intention and the ability to transit the UK and to enter a third country.
The list of nationals that are required to have a visa to transit the UK represents a list of countries where there has been a particular problem with over stayers. It is not race based, but merely an effort to target the problem.
It really does not matter what anyone thinks about the transit visa requirement because it is UK law. Everyone has a choice whether or not to transit the UK. Going back to the original post, to book a ticket without researching visa requirements and then trying to deflect personal responsibility by blaming the visa requirement is ridiculous.

RNC Bows to Bush, Kills Immigration Resolution
By John Gizzi
Human Events Online, January 22, 2006
. . .
Given the growing chasm between the Administration and GOP grass-roots activists on the issue of illegal immigration, the Pullen measure could well have paved the way for the most incendiary debate at an RNC meeting since the party�s ruling members eight years ago voted down a measure to deny funding to candidates opposed to a ban on partial birth abortion.

The Illegal Immigration Lobby
By Don Feder
GrasstopsUSA.com, January 17, 2006
. . .
Similarly, every call for immigration reform is answered with lusty shouts of racism by the self-styled champions of �immigrant rights.�
You want to start protecting our borders? You�re a racist. You think illegal aliens are responsible for a disproportionate share of crime, disease, poverty and social disintegration? You�re a racist. You believe America has a national language, and it isn�t Spanish? You�re a xenophobic, hate-monger (even if you�re an immigrant or the grandchild of immigrants).

Illegal immigration is a hot-button issue these days, and calls for a border fence spark fierce support among some segments of society.
That support is misplaced; undocumented workers who risk death to cross the border will not be deterred by a wall.

What's FAIR Got to Do With It?
By Tom Barry
International Relations Center, January 19, 2006
The House's approval of the Sensenbrenner immigration reform bill in mid-December was a clear signal that the most virulent restrictionists were in control of the immigration policy debate.
Sponsored by Rep. James Sensenbrenner (R-WI), chair of the House Judiciary Committee, the Border Protection, Anti-Terrorism, and Illegal Control Act calls for the extension of a fence along a third of the 2,000 mile U.S.-Mexico border, involves local law enforcement and other government officials in immigration enforcement, and denies due-process of law for immigrants. The bill sparked a spate of international criticism of rising anti-immigrant sentiment in the United States , and raised alarm among immigrant communities and their advocates.

This does not make sence at all. Why the USCIS would make visa number current then retrogress again? I do not think they make all visa current and not expect a flood of applications. .
I do not thisn that the USCIS did not plan for this. This does not make sense?Did this ever happen before?

How would it be to forward the media coverage links to all the attorneys so that they are aware of what is happening and also provide some kind of support or atleast get associated with IV. Also some members may take the initiative of posting these links to thier blogs so that every one will get to know about the IV through others blogs.

1. If a Receipt Number is issued for a I-485, does it necessarily mean that the case won't outright be rejected for a missing document/ evidence, but instead an RFE will be issued?
2. When a receipt number is issued for a I-485, and if we send out the missing document/initial evidence using the allocated A#, is there a good likelihood that the evidence/document will make it to the appropriate file?
Answers to these will help make a decision on filing multiple I-485's where the first I-485 missed some initial evidence.
Thanks!
One more thing: I was about to make another private consultation call today. I pledge contributing $200 if I find a concrete answer to this issue without having to consult one more lawyer.
My laywer ( a known one, but not the regulars here) also didn't include EVL. When i asked him about it, he said whether we include it now or not, they will issue an RFE at the time of adjudication. I was content with that, but after reading about it more here, i pressed him again about the issue and the new memo. He said he does not foresee a denial because of this, but if i'm worried we will send the EVL along with a cover letter and the RN. But filing another 485 is not advisable. I'm working on the EVL, and once he is less busy after Aug 17th i will ask him to send it. And i hope it will make it to the right file if we include the RN and A#, just like replying to an RFE.
btw, to answer #1, i did get RN so i would think the case may not be outright rejected for missing evidence. I did FP and my LUD was changed for 485 and 131. I filed 765 later and that also has an LUD after FP.
