Between Fragoman, My Company and USCIS they sure are going to drive me nuts. I am waiting for green card for 10 years now with the same company. They are moving EB2 date and nothing gets done with EB3. On top of all these, 2 years from now, they will make all dates current which literally mean I will get my Green Card with a guy came here 10 months ago....

Was away on business travel for last 3 days.
Coming to your friend and his call, the information i passed on is what i got from rep.
Looks like there are lot of applications received by USCIS on july 2.
Hopefully we get some direction by next weekend.
Hang in there. We are all on the same boat in still waters.:eek:
A freind of mine called. He did NOT hear such thing from NSC. He even refefrenced this discussion

But why should we lose the PD that we've been hanging on to for so long. For all we know, they might retrogress EB2 next - with USCIS, there's no room to take chances. I'm on my 10th yr here and don't want anything to go wrong at this point.
Have you given a thought or spoken to a lawyer about starting EB2 PERM when your EB3 140 is pending? After your EB2 PERM is approved, you have 6 months before interfiling your EB2 140 with your EB3 PD. I think that is long enough for your EB3 140 too be approved.
AFAIK, this can be done with little or no risk to your EB3.

Hi Folks,
I am here for the past 10 years, 2003 I changed my H1 company and they applied my GC on EB3 , and again I missed the 2007 fiasco. because my Mother was ailing and have to rush to our Mother land India, and I lost my Mother too. Unfortunately last time when I applied for the H1 extension on Sept 2009, they were just implementing the client Relationship stuff without any notice, I could produce the client letter and agreement even though my I-140 is approved, they gave only 1 year extension, this Sept 2010, I again have to extend my H1,if I did not get my EAD by that time.
In this times, two things are possible, One is a CIR, introduced in Senate and it passes with necessary vote, at this political situation it is most unlikely, and also if CIR fails then all our legal immigration will be passed as piece meal amendments. and the Visa recapture happens, Otherwise President, Senate and Congress together should know the situation we are all in and they take a decision on EB category, mind you, Legal immigration is blocked politically by Illegal Immigrants!. or USCIS should feel the back log reason, because of the 2000 amendment all our people back home coming as familes (nothing against them! everyone moves to greener pastures and good opportunity). In US, even if we are the most highly educated, all these carrer hike and promotion stuff goes by business situation, and as we all know US is still on recovery phase as far as economy is concerned, So be patient at least this year or next year some good news for all of us. Praying for all here in this situation. This is not a Problem, this is a Situation, even this will Pass away.
May GOD Bless

Illegal immigration (of course) is really hot in the VA area. They have had rally's and other events that were reported on front page of Washington Post.
I am locating those reporters. It would help if we read those articles and write something based on the content. Something like: since you reported their rally, please report ours.

IF you've not called already, the visa bulletin is probably a very good reason for you to call :

Predicting and hoping that things will get better is not going to help. Lets take action. Please call the lawmakers if you have not done it already.

Gurus,
I am about to switch jobs using EAD. I am worried that if my current employer revokes my 140, CIS may by mistake cancel my pending AOS. I am mentally prepared for this and talk to lawyer to be ready to file MTR in this case. However here is my question.
1. Will this immediately cancel my EAD? if so, I may have to resign.
2. If I continue working while filling for MTR, will it be illegal?
3. How much it costs to go thru' MTR process? How long it takes?
I read on some other website that denying 485 doesn't automatically cancel your EAD. Any inputs?
addsf345, did you get the answers? if yes, please share. Thanks much.:)

What is wrong with bonded to 1 job type ? You file AC21 but job type should be similar. You cannot become a company's Vice president if your labor was for Programmer, why are you picking on things ? The guy sitting next to my cubicle is here more than 7 years, he's waiting for his 140, he's stuck with my employer while he wants to move since he has a 3 years degree than a masters, He was considered a EB-3 I. Don't you think he wants to know how many decades it will take for his dates to get current ?
If it doesn't apply on you doesn't mean these are not facts...
My best wishes are with you.
Go ahead and send your letter, that includes line like Being stuck in a green card process keeps us bonded with 1 employer, job type etc.
Please keep us posted on updates. Thanks! ;)

USCIS to Issue Two-Year EAD for I-485 Waiters at End of June 2008
The Secretary of the Department of Homeland Security announced on 06/09/2008 that the DHS would start issuing two-year EAD beginning from end of June 2008 for the I-485 filers. Hooray!
Announcement: "I'm also pleased to announce that we will be extending the validity period of the employment authorization documents that we issue to individuals who are waiting adjustment of status to lawful permit residenture or in colloquial phrase, the green card. Currently, adjustment applications are granted employment authorization documents with only a one year maximum validity. Beginning later this month, we'll start issuing these documents with a two-year validity period for aliens who are waiting adjustment of status if their application is expected to be pending for more than a year. This, again, is eliminating a persistent source of frustration for workers who are here, who have a pending adjustment application but have to go and renew their employment documents every single year. It's going to cut the paperwork there."
Can you post the link of the official announcement, thanks in advance

Hi All,
Ads and other process took around 8 months(approximately). Just I was talking about the day labor filed with DOL to approval email to HR department. Just I am sharing this information thinking that it might help for someone in thinking in that direction. Eb3 & Eb2 both labors are from the same company. I have US masters degree ( if any wants to know about that).
Your questions are welcome and as much as I know I will share.
Thank you and best of luck to all.

Paypal confirmation # 4Y748719GE443013E ($100 one time contribution in addition to my past one time contributions and $50 monthly recurring).
Thank you everyone for contributing. It is your contributions that made me contribute after looking at this thread for the past few days.
Let us give back to IV (and ourselves) by raising ten fold ($300K) of what the goal is.
If only 3000 people contribute $100 each, the amount raised would be $300K.
3000 people, from my understanding is only an iota of the IV membership.
$100 is NOT a big amount, no matter what you think/say, when the return is as huge as getting your green card faster, even a month or two faster (although we are talking years here).
I do NOT make a lot of money.
I have a Car payment like you.
I have a house payment like you.
I also have a lot of time left on my H-1B visa (12 months on the first one, before I even have to renew it for the first time) meaning I don't have worries of my visa timing out.
I also have an approved I-140 and 485 filed, making me eligible for the EAD/AP benefits, again taking some of the fear out, of H-1 renewal or getting laid off.
But I still think we need to keep supporting what IV is doing, I would rather take a Green card right now, than be on EAD/AP/H-1B renewals for the next 2,3,4,5 years.
PLEASE, don't be the person that wishes six months from now, that he/she had made a contribution when the time was right.
Thank you all.
