Sheela Murthy and Greg Siskind might also be good contacts. I think IV is already in good contacts with them?

Hello all
I am a silent visitor of this website.
Just my 2 cents... Don't think USA is like India where you can do something forcefully. Why don't you guys understand the real problem of USCIS.
Do you think that by sending flower to USCIS will force them to make EB2/EB3 current for 2005/2006/2007 guys??
Please try to understand their problem.
Also India is the great. Why don't you guys just think that India is your home country where you are born and brought up. Why you people can't just wait and watch?? If nothing happens to the so called GC, then why don't you think to pack up and go back to India???????
My sincere request, please don't do rally, you might be arrested......you never know what they can do..... Don't you think that, it is better to go back to India rather than being embarrassed here in US???
Isn't it a shame on us to go for Rally to get GC?????:D
Just think that you will get it when time comes, otherwise pack up.
Please don't take much tension as life is very short. I am assuring you all, nothing will happen with law suit and flower campaign.Don't irritate USCIS by doing all this please.

You definitely sound like my mother , who gets scared by the news that gets published in telugu news papers about gas station shootings in USA. Otherday she asked me not to goto "that gas station in Kentucky" .. I live in CA.
There is no shame in protesting injustice. Nobody who sent flowers is foolish enough to think that they will get their GC just because they sent flowers.
Can you please explain what is the real problem of USCIS?

If you were current for June and if the USCIS received your application in June, then you are 100% fine. USCIS stamps the "received date" on the package. So when they open it for processing (1,2,3 weeks later), they will see that your PD was current when they received it.
Of course, if your PD is not current when they open it, then of course, your 485 won't be approved. But you will get your EAD and AP.
Thanks,
Jayant
P.S.: Note that there is some disagreement about whether the USCIS looks at the date they received the package or the date your package is post-marked.

All, The data rodnyb used is from Oct 2010 inventory where as I used Jan 2011 inventory data. This is my analysis..... Point out if I am wrong on any of my assumptions and I would be happy to correct myself and the data ...
The following are my assumptions based on the data available on Jan 05 2011 from
http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/statistics/Employment%20Based%20I-485%20Pending%20Inventory%20as%20of%20January%2005 ,%202011.pdf
Assumptions are
No applications are remaining before May 2006 (based on current priority dates)
Consolidated information is as follows the data taken is from above USCIS link.
World Inventory EB2 (http://irscjb.blogspot.com/2011/03/eb2-analysis-employment-based-485.html)

India(Assumption there is 1 application(India Born) in every 2 applications received by USCIS Based on Aug 07 (185 applications - world inventory above)Vs Aug 07 95 applications - INDIA below ) based on (95/185 ~ 0.5), probability, the data from August 2007 onwards to end of 2010 is from India born applicants
2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
January 1540 36 78 160.5

2006 2007 2008 2009 2010
13098 10003.5 536.5 1691.5 1705.5
Based on the data of world inventory of May 2005 there are 1165 applications for EB2 and out of which 1110 is for India. Hence there is only 45 applications for the rest of the world for that month.
For Oct - Dec 2010
EB4/5 - 348 applicants
Eb1 - 1252 applicants
If considered that there are same number of applicants for Jan - April 2011 then from Oct 2010 to April 2010
EB4/5 - 696 applicants
EB1 - 2504 applicants
Expect at least for 6 months
9.3K from EB4/EB5 (total of 20K for EB4/5 and 10K for 6 months and after utilizing ~ 700)
18.8K from EB1 (42672 total and 21336 for 6months and after utilizing ~ 2500)
21.3 K from EB2 including ROW
I expect a total of 49K and considering porting of EB3 to EB2 & others it would be around 40K
With that said...
I dream to be current
Also, if there are 1 additional beneficiaries to the primary beneficiaries, then this 40K would become 20K in that case, I expect
Jan 2007 for India
if there are any 0.75 additional beneficiaries to the primary beneficiaries, then this 40K would become 30K in that case, I expect
June 2007 India

In my opinion, as they are running with these immigration related bills despite the tight schedule and limited time they have on their hands before they go on recess (for election), the chances (to pass these bills) have to be decently high. Otherwise, I doubt if they would put so much time and effort if they know for sure this would fail.
However, as Pappu pointed out, the success relies a lot on we guys calling everyone on the list to seek their support and counter numberusa or similar groups' attempt to shoot these bills down.
So, lets call - PLEASE.

To find immigrant community everywhere.. at your workplace, at grocery stores, cinema halls, places of worship, where else?
Lets find them and inform them and CONVINCE them of the importance of doing this.
Lets offer to make it easy for them by having printed letters ready for signature + name + address.
We have only 4 weekends to get it done. In my past experience, you will need an hour to yield an output of about 10 - 15 letters. Plan and be prepared.
If you get a friend to go with you, it will be great, but if not, then plan yourself and execute. I had done this for our signature campaign prior to the rally and I will do it again!

Hey J(erk) Thomas,
Shove your condescending advise to where the sun never shines. It is NONE of your BUSINESS to tell me or anyone what they should be doing. No wonder average americans have started hating people like you and want to drive you out of the country.
If you think that you can fool everyone all the time, you are sadly mistaken. Even by DOL estimates, there is 20% fraud with H1. The real figure could be a lot higher than that
I am not the only one expressing these opinions in this forum, as I can see, "TN Man" has suggested pretty much the same here. There is no point in trying to close your eyes to reality.
Senator Grassley and Durbin wants Google and Yahoo to succeed in US. But they don't want Indian cyber-koolies like the body shops and TCS/INFY/Wipro to steal american jobs under the guise of globalization.
For all the geniuses out here, how many companies like Google or Microsoft or yahoo came out of India in the last 20 years? Yeah, that is what I thought too.. BIG ZERO. But if you read J(erk) Thomas' response, one would have thought that India is full of competitors for Microsoft and Google today :D :D :D
Hey Hunter, so do you think India should buy from Boeing, Pepsi, Coke and even Ford? Should Indians be driving coolie cars made by ford? No wonder India would want to place a larger order with Airbus in return. And Dont you remember that during bankruptcy of airlines, Indian routes were their lifeblood and european routes were bleeding. So should we force to cancel a few more flights to India by these airlines?

Lets treat good news for EB2 as good news for EB3 also.
If not today, some of us EB3 folks may want to port. So it will help more people to port and also to compensate to some extent the #s coming into EB2 pool from EB3.
Overall its a good news, and looks to be possible we see this on Murthy site also. Lets be happy.
What are you talking about? this is not a good news, we will decide that after May Visa Bulletin. For now just read that as a publicity stunt from lawyers and forget about it.

'Consulate Where Visa Was Issued' will be what? Department?
Reply pls.

For those wanting to personalize it a little bit.
The Honorable George W. Bush
President of the United States
The White House
1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW
Washington, DC 20510
Dear Mr. President:
I write today to urge you to fix America’s broken legal employment-based immigration system. Currently, more than 500,000 skilled individuals who contribute to the American economy through their hard work in high technology, scientific research, medicine and other fields find themselves trapped in a process that is hopelessly backlogged. If nothing is done, hundreds of thousands of immigrants will wait years or even decades in a process that was never intended to take so long. While comprehensive change will require legislative action, your administration can implement administrative remedies to improve America’s competitiveness, eliminate bureaucratic inefficiencies, and improve our quality of life.
<insert personal blurb here>
Attracting and retaining the best and brightest minds from around the world is in America’s best interest. In February 2006, your Domestic Policy Council issued a report on the American Competitiveness Initiative that recognized the importance of employment-based immigration. The report stated:
“The President also recognizes that enabling the world's most talented and hardest-working individuals to put their skills to work for America will increase our entrepreneurship and our international competitiveness, and will net many high-paying jobs for all Americans. The United States benefits from our ability to attract and retain needed immigrant and non-immigrant students and workers, and it is important that America remains competitive in attracting talented foreign nationals.”
You can advance your stated objective by making common-sense administrative reforms to fix a system that is clearly broken.
Implementing much-needed reforms will also free government resources to focus on pressing national security matters. For example, current rules require the Department of Homeland Security to renew the Employment Authorization Documents (EADs) of hundreds of thousands of legal immigrants each year as those immigrants wait for green cards and permanent residency in the U.S. Rather than renew these EADs annually, the government could renew these documents every three years, freeing countless hours that could be better spent serving the Department’s mission.
The greatest impact of the broken green card process is borne by the legal immigrants and their families. The more than half million highly-skilled legal immigrants already working productively in the United States find themselves trapped in a system that is taking years longer than intended. During this wait for a green card, these immigrants remain trapped in a legal maze, unable to change jobs – even within the same employer – without starting the arduous immigration process over again, and subject to waits that grow longer and longer.
We implore you to exercise your authority to implement administratively these much-needed reforms.
• Recapture administratively the unused visas for permanent residency to fulfill the congressional mandate of 140,000 green cards per year.
• Revise the administrative definition of “same or similar” to allow slight additional job flexibility for legal immigrants awaiting adjudication of adjustment of status (I-485) petitions.
• Allow filing of Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) when a visa number is not available.
• Implement the existing interim rule to allow issuance of multi-year Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) and Advance Parole.
• Allow visa revalidation in the United States.
• Reinstate premium processing of Immigrant Petitions.
I urge you to implement these administrative remedies without delay. Action is urgently needed to fulfill your stated goal of attracting and retaining highly-skilled legal immigrants from around the world, eliminating bureaucratic inefficiency, and improving the lives of future Americans already living and working legally in the United States.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Respectfully,
The Honorable George W. Bush

My case has been pending since September 2007. Below are the steps I have taken till now in order to get a decision on my case:
1: Initiated enquiry through my attorney.
2: Opened a service request with USCIS (Got an invalid response of no visa numbers available)
3: Made an Infopass appointment with an immigration officer.
None of the above has resulted in any clarity towards my case status.
Below are my case details- (Myself & spouse)-
Applicant name:
Application type: I-485
Category: Employment based EB2 (India)
Priority date:
Receipt number:
Spouse details:
Applicant name:
Application type: I-485

I had the following questions on my case:
1: As my priority date is current, has my case been assigned to an Immigration officer.
2: When can I expect a decision to be made on my case as my case is pre-adjudicated.
If you need any additional details from me, I can be reached at email or phone @ phone number.
Regards,
I will take you up on your offer. Can you please PM me the details on the e-mail/letter, or post here, whatever you feel comfortable with? Thanks!
Enjoy your day!

1: Initiated enquiry through my attorney.
2: Opened a service request with USCIS (Got an invalid response of no visa numbers available)
3: Made an Infopass appointment with an immigration officer.
None of the above has resulted in any clarity towards my case status.
Below are my case details- (Myself & spouse)-
Applicant name:
Application type: I-485
Category: Employment based EB2 (India)
Priority date:
Receipt number:
Spouse details:
Applicant name:
Application type: I-485
Category: Employment based EB2 (India)
Priority date:
Receipt number:
I had the following questions on my case:
1: As my priority date is current, has my case been assigned to an Immigration officer.
2: When can I expect a decision to be made on my case as my case is pre-adjudicated.
If you need any additional details from me, I can be reached at email or phone @ phone number.
Regards,
I will take you up on your offer. Can you please PM me the details on the e-mail/letter, or post here, whatever you feel comfortable with? Thanks!
Enjoy your day!

I got 3 negs.. not that I care about the reputation system here... but it shows people are unwilling to confront me openly, and choose to hide even though this forum is already anonymous.
One neg says:
"old system - like we're going to let that happen. interfile if you can."
Why should I interfile? I am putting my energies into getting USCIS to follow the rules. It is the right thing to do, just because I am willing to wait for my turn, doesn't mean I will cede my position in the queue.
Also, I am trying to take recourse from the written laws, there is nothing that anyone can do (barring USCIS' own impediment to follow the law) to not "let that happen".

Guys:
Based on the June Bulletin, I will be filing my I485 in June.
Now, I have H1-B(with my current company till Feb'2010 that I just got approved a month back.(not stamped in passport yet)
-- Should I file EAD for myself ( I probably would want to change jobs after 180 days) ? Or is it better to be on H1-B.
-- Should I file AP for both myself and my wife(she is on H4) ?
Also, when I decide to change jobs using AC21 rule, is it better to tranfer
H1-B to a new company or if I have EAD, how does that work ?
Any inputs will be greatly appreciated..!!
Thanks
If I were you, I would apply for EAD and AP for spouse and self immediately. You never know when you may need it. Say, your company announces a merger and your entire department is wiped out and you have to leave before coming Friday. It would be almost impossible to find another employer who will send the new H-1B application before Friday. In such instances EAD will help to keep you in status. EAD card for spouse will allow her to apply for SSN and thus Drivers license. AP for wife will help to travel out of country after you have used EAD. So in short, I would apply for all the docs for all members of the family. This could result in spending couple of hundred dollars but will help secure peace of mind.

Hi all,
I am planning for a trip to india and get my first visa stamping done some time in may. My visa was approved in july 2007. Does anyone think that this issue will prolong till may? Or will all these database updates for the PIMS verification checks be complete by then? Any inputs will be highly appreciated. Thanks.

Is anybody questioning as to what these weekly updates (on USCIS claims that receipts cleared for dates in August) mean when we are still waiting receipts for July 2 filings ?

Ths poll should be changed to
Do you want to turn into an anti-immigrant when you get your greencard?
Yes I am in
No I am out
Shame on those who votes yes.

Yes, I am aware about this but in my case I do not have any written or tape recorded evidence. In other guy's case at least he have written proof (Capital One) and that can be the base. Now many companies are doing this so it is ofcourse my assumption that they can do this under "Hire and fire" authority.. And main problem is that, when you are out for a job, you do not stop thinking to takle particular one "no", you want to just move haead and fix your job first.. That is practical reality:)
I appreciate your point of view and bringing forth the practical reality in this situation. However, your attitude and tone, which seems to suggest that this is a lost cause and a helpless situation, is somewhat discouraging.
Nobody is suggesting that you drop your job search, drop everything, and file a law suit. What do you do? You go and find a job elsewhere, of course. You are right, the reality is that employers may ask you questions about your visa/immigration status. But there is a better way to handle such situations. Mark had posted some great tips on that. Even after all that, you may end up in a situation such as yours - where you mentioned that 5 employers told you that they will not hire somebody on EAD. You can remain quiet about it and go about your life, or you can do something about it. Its up to you.
Think about the visa delays, retrogression, etc. You could have stayed quiet and let the lawmakers, employers and the government deal with it or you could have done something about it. There is nothing "illegal" that the government is doing by making you wait years for a green card. But you did not sit quiet about it, did you? You joined the cause of IV, you wrote letters to the President, right?
Employers have the right to make a policy or a hiring decision that they want a person with certain skill set or experience, etc. They can find a tons of reasons not to interview or hire somebody. But race, gender, immigration status, etc. CANNOT be one of the reasons or criteria. This is my understanding of the law. I believe it is written in simple English that an employer CANNOT discriminate or make hiring decisions based on immigration status unless mandated by the job requirement (such as security clearance).
You are blindly assuming that whatever the employers are doing is within legal bounds, without questioning, even when the documents (see I-9 form, or DOL's web site for example) clearly state that such practices are illegal. (I am not a lawyer, this is my understanding of the law.) All I am saying is that if I were in this situation (denied on EAD), I would write to the heads of HR, ask a lawyer if this constitutes discrimination, call the OSC hot line, ask in the forums for employment law, contact ACLU or other civil rights groups. Heck, I am not affected by this (yet), and I still did some of the above because I have the urge to find out if this is indeed discrimination as viewed by the law and if so, do something about it. You don't need written evidence for any of these.
