Hi,
was your first labor PD before April2004?
If yes,then they might have taken that PD.
If not,maybe we can see a forward movement for PD for EB2 in coming bulletin as USCIS might be trying to use as much visa numbers as possible.
Congrats and Enjoy!
No its I-485 I just cut and pasted the two emails I received, first at 10am then the second at 3 pm check online and the system had same messages. If its true I am having a party wow man thanks I did come to US in 1997. I do have a labor which was approved under RIR PD date 2004 but the employer refused to file I-140. Then again filed PERM in 2007 under EB2 and filed I-140/I-485 based on this PERM

What happens if we don't have 25000 letters?
I see that we're way behind and only 10 days left.

Yes there is and it is called visa portability. :) this is for you as well piyu, do not jump into summary so fast.
Ok, Here's what law says about so called "transfer"
D. AC21 105 -- Visa portability
.....
gapala -
You are mixing apples and oranges.
Visa Portability (as per AC-21) allows one to start employment after filing for H-1B petition, before H-1B petition os approved.
H-1B Transfer does not invalidate current employment status (if on H-1B status) and beneficiary can continue working for original Employer A based on that I-797 validity dates.
OP needs to explain to USCIS that he never switched jobs on new H-1B approval and continued job on the basis of original I-797 dates. He was not out of status.

Ok, firstly, if you are really honest about your feelings, no one is really happy for another unless what the other has done is useful to you. You can wax your eloquence with claims to contrary, but you know it is true. So stop this pretensions.
Ok, you want a constructive suggestion? Rat on everyone who is doing fake jobs, is a body-shopee, bought his GC etc. That should get rid of at least 20-30% (conservative numbers). How many will support it? I guess not many.
How about asking USCIS to make the priority date of the substituted applications to be the day 140 is filed? Any takers there? I guess not.
And then people have the gall to tell us to be happy for Eb2ers, and that we are jealous.
PS: I realize that substitution is no longer possible, I mean to ask USCIS to retroactively apply the priority dates for such cases.
U know what, actually we all eb2 guys are very sad about the eb3 plight. And if we do get a visa number, we will request uscis to dsitribute it to eb3 category. does this make u guys happy now ???
why dont u think abt those guys, who filed in eb3 earlier, knew that the trouble is brewing, and switched jobs to be able to file under eb2. why you guys dint do that so far. dont blame uscis. they were, the are and they will remain a mystery for ever. its not our birthright. if DOS thinks they need more research grads, they will keep eb1 current, if they need more exp guys, they will improve the b2 category. And if they need more frsh grads, they will come to eb3. And if some exp person is stuck in eb3, he himself is to be blamed. dont blame anyone else for your ignorance of GC rules then.
So fact is we all are under DOS/USCIS mercy. 2 years back it was eb3 turn, now it is eb2 turn. Unfortunately no is blaming why ebI is always current. if that reason you can digest, then you should have the gall to digest this one too.

IV is asking people to participate in calling senetors to support Lofgren bills. Its asking for visa recapture? How does this translate in saying nothing is being done? Let me ask you politely in which campaign's have you participated
IV is basically saying EB3 folks stop all initiatives. Rather convert to EB2. It's comfortable to say IV core and decisionmakers are composed of EB2 folks.

I second you on that.But we must keep in mind,we know the law before coming here .Every immigration lawyer wants H4 law to be changed but, you know "USCIS".. they have handsfulll.
But even knowing what H4 entails is not so much helpful. Only when you experience it on your own, you realize what a bad move that was.
E.G. If I knew the time in H1/H4 is counted together I would not have accepted moving every 3-6 months with my husband on his projects. I would have done everything to get my H1 in my first year here and my husband would stay and change H1 sponsors every year if need be.
But no, it had to go other way.
Several imm lawyers misguided me in this H1/H4 time matte, until it was literally too late. Hiring time in my profession is tied to the beginning of the school year when all H1 visas are long long gone.
I was getting offers when I cannot get a visa and vice versa. Not a single school district wants to tend an offer 9-12 months in advance...
And - well, you all now how the story goes from there. We cannot buy a house, we cannot start our business, .....I guess we are just fed up with 'no - you can't do that' answer, every time we want to do something with our lives.
This 'on hold' situation lasts too long.
I am only staying here to further my professional education and benefit as much as I can, so that in the end the trade off is not going to be so bad..
......
7 years ago, when my hubby and I had enough of civil war in our home country, we were almost ready to send our papers under SW category and move to Canada.
As luck would have it, his H1 went through faster then we imagined, so we ended up in the US. I wish we had a foresight to go ahead with Canadian PR as soon as we came here. We would have been both much better off, already citizens, profesionally more satisfied and happy.

My advanced parole is good till October 2, 2009. I have been in and out US 2 times, spent 2 months abroad doing finals in college. Am going to intern abroad, until October 28th.
Q1: What is the best date to reenter the US and renew advanced parole? Do I need to be in the US to renew AP?
Q2: How long do I need to stay in US after sending in my renewal? Do I need to wait the 3 months to get the new parole?
Thank you
AP renewal took only 2 weeks, and actually the approval date is only one week from date of receipt notice, i actually lost about a month from my previous approval. This is at NSC

of course, a different visa type, discrimination built into the law.
Discrimination based on what though? That is the important question. To the best of my knowledge only australia has that advantage.

People like bigtime008 are loosers.
They will think of themselves only. Characteristics of such peoiple are: Selfish
Instead of celebrating the greater good for all, they are just worried about what they are getting out of it.
These people join a group for security; but will always think only about themselves and will take every opportunity to demoralize the whole team.
We know BEC is an issue and there is sympathy for them, but does it mean we want to stop 700K people with families not getting a chance to better their lives.

Is there a way to calculate the number of visas used this year? and how many are remaining? Plus how many are waiting?
Getting too anxious:(
About 50k might be remaining visas alloted for EB2 India. These 50k are the spill overs from EB1, EB2 ROW and Family Based Unused Visas as well.
In July 2007 Fiasco there have been received about 300k 485 applications. And out of that Say 200k belongs to EB3 because in EB3 it includes India and ROW also. Where as In EB2 its only India and China. Because in EB2 ROW is already current. So I presume about 100k applications are from EB2 and waiting for visa numbers. So this year 50K spill overs +9,800 rgular allotment for EB2, totaled about 60k. So 60k of this year and next year clears off all EB2 applications and make EB2 dates current.

I got this message from senator Mark R Warner
Thank you for contacting me regarding our nation's immigration system. I appreciate the benefit of your views on this important issue.
Our current immigration system is broken, which is why I believe Congress should work to pass bipartisan, comprehensive immigration reform. Comprehensive immigration reform should include policies to secure our nation's borders, curb future illegal immigration, establish an effective employer verification system and find a practical solution for the millions of illegal immigrants currently residing in the U.S.
I do not believe that illegal immigrants should gain an unfair advantage from their actions. Any effort to earn legal status must include paying back taxes, a fine or penalty and taking steps to learn English. Reform should also not penalize those individuals who have followed the law and are here legally.
On April 23, 2010, Arizona Governor Jan Brewer signed into law Arizona State Bill 1070, which grants broad powers to local law enforcement officials to determine and request proof of legal status of anyone suspected of violating federal immigration laws. The enactment of this new law is yet another sign that the federal government needs to act to fix our broken immigration system rather than allowing for a state-by-state patchwork of laws and ordinances. I also believe Arizona's law raises civil rights concerns, fails to recognize the economic contributions of legal immigrant workers, and harms our nation's ability to attract entrepreneurs from around the world who create jobs here in the United States.
Our nation faces many tough challenges. Immigration reform is a complicated and difficult issue but the current system is not working. We must put our differences aside to create a better system. Again, thank you for writing. As we move forward in the 111th Congress, please continue to contact me with your opinions and concerns.
Sincerely,
MARK R. WARNER
United States Senator

Well it would be easier to work with Oracle, Microsoft etc and get their support and provide your support to them.
Get support from whom? The same corporations that want to outsource jobs to low cost countries AND also lobby for H1B increase, again to keep wages low and all this to increase their bottom line. We need to re think our strategy and get it straight as to who is on our side and who is not.

Hi guys,
This is what my lawyer said.
If you/spouse have used your EAD or are using your EAD then your "Current Immigration Status" is "Adjustment of Status Pending/Parolee". If not then it is either H1B or H4.
If you/spouse have actually travlled outside the US and re-entered using the Advanced parole, then your "Manner of Last Entry" is "Parolee". If not then it is what it says on your I-94 (H1B or H4).
You do **NOT** need the $80 Biometric fee for the Advanced Parole.
Guys,
do any body know what documents a minor need for reentry using AP?
Do they need EAD or just I-485 receipt is enough. please reply ASAP.
thanks

I think USCIS will make the dates current as long as they can see in which category people have filed most after last july( if both EB2 and EB3 has large number of filers they may make both current as last july), so that they can get the increased fee from a "substantial" amount of people filing, and give them EAD and make the cateroty to "U" after the filing:D
Mr. Gotcher posts this today.
Controversy over calculation of "fall across" visa numbers (http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4610)
Long to short, Mr. Gotcher thinks the explanation of Apr. VB is an error.
I will just quote the last two paragraphs. If you are interested with this topic, you can follow the link to see detail.
************************************************
This is where the controversy arises. Do these provision require the Visa Office to let unused visa number from higher preference categories �fall down� into lower preference categories before being made available to single state quotas, or can they move unused numbers from a worldwide preference category over to single state quotas while there is still demand in the lower worldwide categories?
The Visa Office interpretation is that if there are unused numbers within a specific worldwide category, those numbers may be made available to single state quotas even if lower worldwide preference categories have visa cutoff dates because they are oversubscribed. I believe that this is an error.

Hi.
My friend's wife is in a tricky situation. She has an approved EAD through her husband's I-485 petition.
She was working with company A on her own H-1 and decided to quit employer A and join new company B on EAD. At the very last minute company B has rescinded her job offer. She now cannot return to former employer A as well.
Is she in any status violation if she justs sits at home with an EAD but no job for a few weeks ?
Can anyone share their views ?
Thank You.
I do not see any issue here at all. Most of the housewives (including mine) and sons/daughter take EAD/AP and do not work. EAD is just an authorization, not a compulsion to work. Being legal here stems from the fact that her petition to adjust status (I485) is pending for decision from USCIS.

I agree with a_yaja,
We all came from H1B root. We pass that barrier and want to shut gate!!
This is not fare. Remember, when some people have opposed I 485 filling provision in Feb 15, many of our members hammered them with selfish label !
How come we suggest to stop H1B?
It is amusing to see that there are quite a few people who want the very door closed that they used to enter. It is even more amusing to see that the fault is always someone elses. It is similar to all the people who are opposed to immigration because it is someone elses fault that they are losing their job. Down right funny :p.
We need to focus on solving our problems without blaming others for our problems. Because once we go down that lane, we are no better than anyone from NumbersUSA or any other organization/ people who are against immigration. It is OK if we do not support increasing H1B - but saying that the H1B program needs to shutdown is not correct. I am sure that one can reason in the same breath that the EB3 category needs to be eliminated so that retrogression can truely be eliminated :eek:
