If they put everything as U, they are potentially in trouble, as they have apparently returned unused visas to DOS. So there are unused visas...
Very good point for the litigation attorneys:-)

The rule that USCIS follows is that if they estimate that your priority date wil become current within a year they give you a 1 year EAD. When they estimate a wait of more than a year they give a 2 years EAD. ofcourse this is not strictly followed as we have seen cases of people falling through the crack and getting 1 year EAD when their priority date is far in the grey area (1 to 1.5 years from the current date)
Look at the bright side a 1 year EAD means that you will most probabaly be current in a year :D:D:D

There is no second opinion that USCIS is wrong on morale ground for July VB issue. But I am not sure technically, they are right or wrong. They interpreted the law in their convenience. Here is what I see
What ever visa left for year 2007, they requested to use for July 2007. They kept ready all pre-adjudicated applications and assigned visa numbers on July 1 (Sunday). No one can stop them to send green card approval notice for visa assigned cases later. In a rush, they assigned visa number to few cases whose security check is still pending (technically this is wrong). They realize their mistake and now checking all the cases which are assigned visa numbers on July 1 whether security check is cleared or not. They are now approving the cases (with a slow speed) whose security check is cleared and assigned visa number on July 1. They are returning visa number which are assigned to cases whose security check is not clear.
This is my understanding.
Just trying to sum up the situation from USCIS perspective...
1) DOS releases July visa bulletin making all EB categories current (except for other workers)...hoping to force the USCIS to adjudicate cases and avoid wasting visa numbers as in previous years
2) This infuriates USCIS, and for whatever reasons (this has been debated enough already), they decide to use up all the FY2007 visa numbers in June itself and then force the DOS to revise the July bulletin in June itself...so no one can file in July.
3) Unfortunately, they run into issues going through with their plan of using up all visa numbers in June
4) July 1st and morning of July 2nd...they still are working frantically to use up the numbers to avoid new July filers. But by now, it is July already and they have failed in their original mission (see 2 above). Now they start panicking and do some dumb stuff (in violation of their own regulations). They approve I-485's of some folks who were ready for approval (processing complete and FBI check cleared), but whose dates were not current. They also pre-requested some numbers for folks whose dates were current, but processing was not complete i.e. FBI check was not cleared.
5) Late morning July 2nd: By requesting all available numbers from DOS and exhausting FY2007 quota, they forced DOS to revise the July bulletin, which was unprecedented.
6) July 5th and later: It is now post July-2nd, and USCIS still has cases for which they pre-requested numbers. Now the problem is that even if the FBI check comes through for those cases, they cannot approve them because technically, all numbers have been used up for FY 2007. So they start returning numbers to DOS. They also decide NOT the send the applications of people who filed on July 2nd or later back while they decide on the next course of action...
I think this will have major implications for both USCIS and DOS. The key for USCIS was to exhaust visa numbers on or before June 29th to achieve their obejective without repercussions...and force DOS to revise the bulletin in June itself...and they failed miserably at it.
And now they will have to pay. I know some people are thinking please let USCIS just sweep it under the carpet and just allow us to file our cases...no harm done. But I diasgree...what they have done is shameful. And they should be made to pay for playing with our lives. They should never be able to even think of doing something like this again. And their operations should have direct congress/DOS oversight so they cannot get away with snail-paced processing wasting visas ever again...

I received an RFE too in Nov 1st week. It was about the evaluation. (It was submitted earlier but still) Lawyer mailed them the required document and now the status has changed to "We received your response to the request on Nov 14th and the case processing has resumed".
How many days does it take them now to make a decision? (Btw I am EB3 and my 140 submission date was Nov 2006)

The approval of h1 will not invalidate H4 visa. The usage of h1 visa invalidates H4 visa.
if you have h1 approved and don't join the company, then your h4 remains intact. Once you join a company on h1, you will fill out i-9 form, which informs the concerend authorities about your status change.
That's what I meant . Since he started usinlg the H1 his H4 visa was no longer valid . Doesn't that mean that if he goes back he will have to get some kind of visa stamped to come back ( either H4 or H1 ). Could someone throw more light on this situation.

keep records of all the facts. create a file to gather all the facts to demonstrate that the job was eliminated due to the downturn of the business. you need to have good faith intentions to join the sponsoring employer. if you have those and then still couldnt work for that employer due to the things beyond your control, then there is nothing anybody can do about it. so enjoy your days and dont worry about the future. just be prepared with necessary documentation that you need to do for the citizenship...
check with a good lawyer as i am not one. this is a personal opinion.
Hi everyone, I have been approved on 9/6/7.
only 92 days after AOS filing.
My sponsor, I did work with them from 2002-2007. They agree to file i-485 in the hopes economy would get better. However house builders are doing very bad now and they cannot take me back after approval.
The question is, does this spoiled my chances for citizenship?

I wonder the reasons for Switzerland to be #1. Its a small country with minimal immigration and not much resources. Key revenue might be from Tourism. They are not known for scientific work etc.
... Maybe swiss bank accounts are key to it ! ;)

actually they do a lot more than tourism........

I visited my local USCIS office and the officer told me that they don't do I-94 updates and asked me to contact the CBP office. When I called them up to get an appointment, I got transferred to a lady who asked me the details. After listening to my case she said its perfectly okay and asked me to attach the new I-94 from the 797 to the passport. Is this true?
I am trying to get hold my lawyer but in vain. Please help!!!
The next time you enter the country the INS officer will stamp the new date of the I-94 to the passport.
You can also attach the new I-94 and keep the old one too.
Hope this helps!

My I485 is pending, recently I have changed my address online. I also recieved confirmation letters for this address change.
After 2 weeks of address change, USCIS issued an RFE. I have not yet received it, but I just want to prepare for this.
What could be the reason for this RFE? Is it common?
Did you move to a different state?

He was not name calling. It takes a while to pick up the slang but it sure helps you to assimilate better.
And, if you were already familiar, before you go on a tirade on me, please hold your horses..
according to you, it means he is really disappointing or annoying to just read one bill and conclude everything....

Hello friends,
Of late everybody is talking about bad economy. I mean its all over the TV and newspapers. Apparently we are in a recession since past one year (since Dec 2007).
However, odd it may though sound, I don't see any real economic slowdown in IT sector. I mean all my friends and acquaintances in IT industry in the US and India are retaining their jobs. I recently talked to my IT recruiter and she told me that as far as she is concerned this year has been like any other years. Bit sluggish at the year end, but loads of requirements lined up for January next year.
Am I the only one who is feeling this way, or others also sensing the same thing. Maybe the real jolts are still lying in the future, in the coming year. Or may be its just a hoax. I would love to know other people's observation on this strange anomaly between what is being reported in the media, and what is being observed on the ground.

It seems this is one of the last and only hearings that concerns high skiiled immigrants. Most of the hearings have been focussed on undocumented immigrants and border security. Any members in this area and available on August 31?

What takes priority in life? Time with family or getting stuck in the GC mill.
I find it disheartening that a senior member like you would advice someone on foregoing their pleasure trip and donating to IV. Would you be willing to cancel all your pleasure trips/family outings to donate money to IV? If you do, i feel sorry for your family.
Please donate that extra money meant for leisure to IV instead going to Bahama this year.

Hi deafTunes123,
I went to infopass yes'day, mainly to confirm my priority date. My employer used RIR labor and ported to PERM. Not sure of the PD, so took infopass.

Guys,
I took an info pass last week to check the status of my case. Specifically to check whether the interfile is success or not. IO at USCIS office mentioned that she cannot check whether my case is in EB2 or EB3. I am surprised to hear that. Gurus any has this kind of experience?
Also, She mentioned that my case is assigned to an Officer on August 13th. Do any one has any info how many days(on average), an Office will take to approve a case. Any info. is helpful to me and all.
Overall the Field Office people were polite.
Thanks,

My point was that it doesn't matter. It represents $1000/ per person, hardly enough to make a dent in poverty. We need sensible labor laws, a pro-business attitude, and that money will return to India.
Dude, with all due respect, thats a LOT of money. Almost 3% of world GDP is a heck of a LOT money.
There is a good article on the NYT "What $1.2 Trillion Can Buy"...read it.
