I-485 Employment-Based Inventory does it include Spouse applications also
CAN Some Senior members clarify my doubts:
==================================
USCIS release I-485 Employment-Based Inventory countyr wise. Is this Numbers listed every year for the Employment based category include applications filled for Spouse also?
If it is not included then we need to take in to account that for every 485 application we will bare minimum have 1 spoude 485 application that requires VISA Number.

Mine is at TSC. PD: July 04. RD: Aug 17, 2007. ND: Oct 15, 2007. What is your RD and ND?
I have a feeling that the IO might look at the applications received on Aug 17, 2007, only at last. Its because, when I went for infopass, the IO said that, "You have filed on the last date, so you will have to wait".
Anyhow, I have tried all that I could, and now I leave it to the Almighty.

Two Words:
Supply and Demand. (and its affect on pricing)
Cyclic Nature of Real Estate
The same reason why mine and your 401K is 100K lower than what is was in Oct last year. The same reason why Intel will be selling fewer chips, why people will not drink as many grande latte at Starfucks as they did last year and ....
This is not the first time.
Yes, I do agree that we should have some sense of personal responsibility and that is why the middle way is to rent out the house (probably at a bit lower price than your monthly mortgage) and pay the difference from your pocket - if you have to absolutely move out from the house. But, can somebody answer my question above..........why is the same house (not even a brick changed) being appraised at around 100k lower than it was done 2 years back, by the same bank??

USCIS has decided that the flowers sent by skilled, legal immigrants to director Dr. Emilio Gonzalez will be forwarded to injured service members recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and at Bethesda Naval Hospital.
We welcome the fact that Dr. Gonzalez acknowledged the symbolic gesture of our protest. We are even more happy that these flowers will brighten the day of our injured service brethren. It is their contribution to the American freedom that has made this country such a desirable destination for highly skilled professionals from all over the world.
We also want to convey to the service personnel receiving those flowers that our message accompanying those flowers is, "Thank You and God Bless You".

Congratulations on getting approved. My wife traveleved to India in a similar situation. She left 2 days after the GC approval email. She returned yesterday on her H1B. I think the systems at the POE take time to reflect the new status. She was planning to inform the IO in case he/she asks about the GC approval - but they did not ask anything. Before she left, she spoke to a second level IO who said it was OK to travel and just to explain to the IO at POE in case it comes up. D-155 stamp is not done at POE.
Your wife can either use AP or H4.

Yes, I mean EB5. Another not, DOS/CIS waited till now as it takes some months to get a trend, as it seems CIS is cracking down on EB1C since later last year, and it took some time to see EB1 usage fall off and is plateauing now.
I wish 12K is for 6 months only, and that 24K total this year will surely clear all pre-07/2007 EB2 I/C. However, it seems as unlikely, I looked at historic EB1 approvals on DOS statistics page, EB1 has about 40K quota, their usage
2002 16K
2003 14K
2004 18K
2005 21K
2006 24K
2007 30K
2008 39K
2009 42K
2010 41K
So even if we think all surge after 2006 is due to abuse use of EB1C of india bodyshops, EB1 will still use about 24K, which left about 16K for EB2. I am sure those bodyshop ppl will apply under EB2 now, and I hate to say, but EB2 after 07/2007 seems still a daunting task, only visa recapture will help.
Do you mean 8K from EB5?

It is received date stamp, what they do after receiving. They do it immediately on the same day.
(area code 202) 663-1541 still reading June Visa bulletin. Did they revert back?
If its mailed out today, then you are ok. Its the POSTMARKED date that is seen. So even if it reaches there in July, as long as it went OUT today, they will have to accept it under June's batch of applications coz it is postmarked in June (june 29).

Do you know why we are having GC delays ?
1. Country cap for visa numbers
2. Visa numbers wasted by USCIS by their inefficiency
EB1 visa never belonged to EB2 or EB3 category. What if there were enough genuine EB1 people to claim all the EB1 visas. There won't be any spillovers. Spillovers are bonuses. It is never our right to claim those.
If you want your GC faster, work with IV for country cap removal and recapture.
Have you donated a single dime for IV's cause ?We always find it easy to go against fellow immigrants than fighting the injustice at root.
Look at the following thread to see how easy it is to resolve GC issues if country caps are removed.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=26465
Dear Mr./Ms. gc28262
My understanding is this is a forum where we can express our thoughts without any fear or prejudice.
I agree with you that the main reason for the GC delay is the two causes you have mentioned. The Country cap is based on the current law (I am not saying the law is good). However along with the main causes for the delay the fraudulent uses of EB1 visa #s are also causing extra delay. Thus along with the effort to remove the main cause of delay we should work on the other cause of delays too.
I am also agreeing that as per the current law the L1A - Senior Level Manager can get their GC processed as EB1 and get GC within six months. I agree that this is the current law.
My main concern is the misuse of this law. People who should not get L1A visa are getting L1A using fraud and taking the EB1 visas which otherwise as per law would have trickled down to EB2.
You may be ok with the fraud being done by many of the L1A visa holders and their sponsors. However I am not and I shall support any steps taken by the IV member "L1Fraud".
You may think that the spillovers are bonuses and it�s ok if we do not get them. I differ with you; I feel if someone using fraudulent methods takes our bonuses away we need to protest against that.
Regarding donating to IV think I am not accountable to you. Please note that this is a forum where everyone can express their views without attacking each other personally.
I respect your views and hope to get the same from you :).

Hi Canadian_Dream,
Congratulations on 485 approval...
Can you please brief us abt the priority dates, ur country of all applications. And also plz tell whether you had same A#s on both 485 applications.
It will be really helpful for us...Thanks in advance.
Pappu,
I agree with you on this, there is some truth to this that there could be delays when there are multiple filings. In fact this is the first time when USCIS has to deal with so many multiple filings, a very few lawyers have any direct experience with it. From USCIS Standard Operating Procedure, there is a mention of "second filing" (not duplicate filing) in the following places:
1. Procedural Overview (Page 4)
2. File Review (Page 46)
3. Interview Waiver Criteria (Page 185)
http://www.ilw.com/seminars/august2002_citation2b.pdf
From the link above:
In (1) and (2) above it says second filing should be handled under the normal process. Although if different A# are assigned case goes to CRU (case resolution unit). But if A# assigned are same, you are more or less processed like a normal case. The last part (3) interview waiver criteria, multiple filing is mentioned as one of the deviations from interview waiver criteria but it NOT the interview criteria itself. In the end processing time for multiple filing is very much up to the discretion of adjudicating officer. Also, I didn't find any reason to believe that there could be issues with security check with multiple filings.
I think all of us multiple filers can breathe easy if our cases are filed clearly with full disclosure of information without any intended willful violation.
I am a multiple filer too, my I-485 application filed in early June was approved last week. I hope this gives some reason for optimism for us multiple filers. Good luck to everyone. BTW: I am still a contributing member and will continue to hang out at IV.

"Alaway complain" is the best policy. I got In-state tution for my wife and fought with the university for 4 months. Their rule said - You have to be a resident alien to get in-state. They assumed (because it brought more money) that only Green Card holders are resident aliens. I proved to them with documentation that H-1B and H4 are "non-permanent resident alien" for immigration status and resident alien for IRS tax purposes.
After 4 months university called me saying your wife would get in-state. They never gave it in writing....they still charge out of state to H4 candidates. So that you know, it is 3 times higher than in-state.
Only problem is ---after 7-8 years in this country I am getting tired of fighting these useless battles. I want to put my energy somewhere else, something more creative.
Like someone else suggested, I would never tell that I have EAD. Just say, I am authorized to work for any employer.

.... Why should they even extend H1 beyond 6 years?. If they do not extend H1, always new guys can keep coming on L1/H1 and the cost to employers will be much less. .....
>> Why should they even extend H1 beyond 6 years?
This is a very good question. When I was on H-1B visa, at that time, it can not be extended beyond 6 years. At that time, people will move to home country/Canada for 1 one year, plan to move to O visa if qualified, will try to regain time for out of US time etc. The argument was gaining strength that person should get green card before her/his 6 years are up. To make matter worse, H1 and H4 time was counted together.
Now, rather than providing the long term solution of increasing the quota for green cards per year, EB based applicants were offered band-aid solution of extending H1 indefinitely beyond 6 years if labor is pending > 365 calendar days or I-140 is pending/approved. This was further sugar coated that if I-485 is not approved in standard processing time of 6 months, applicant can change GC job for same/similar classification. People were very happy with AC-21 and many thought (and they still think) that getting EAD is like a provisonal green card, as they can change job easily and employer can no longer "control" them.
Now, since H1 can be extended beyond 6 years, the arguement for faster green card has become weaker. Reason is simple, since applicant can work for "green card sposoring" employer for infinite time, even if I-485 is not filed.
In my opionion, ac-21 was a band-aid solution. Strangely enough, perople are still looking for more band-aid solutions.
Well, as they say, history repeats itelf.

From IV: IV commends the initiative taken by it's members nk2006, pd_recpaturing, ItsNotfunny and others. As these members have observed, we all know that any one who has filed for AOS/I-485 can potentially be hit with this issue, especially in the current job market situations. If you believe in the old adage prevention is better than cure, this is an action item you have to subscribe to. It will be only a matter of time the number of such denials is going to spike.
In recent weeks there has been a spate of I485 denials by USCIS in the AC21 cases. In most of these cases, the underlying I-140 has been revoked by previous employer. But AC21 regulations and related memo�s require that I485�s should not be denied based on that � provided I485 has been pending for more than 180 days and the applicant has changed to a new job that is same or similar. USCIS has been rejecting cases without even issuing a NOID � again required by AC21 regulations. So USCIS is not following AC21 regulations and related field memo�s for whatever the reasons.
Obviously this will have a very bad impact on us � in addition to tremendous amount of stress it can have very bad economic implications including loss of job. In the current economic conditions we cannot afford to lose the job change flexibility provided by AC21 regulations. IV has started a campaign to fight this.
After a brief campaign to write to Ombudsman, it has been decided to intensify this campaign and write to various officials in USCIS hierarchy. IV core members have been actively involved in coming up with a strategy and are actively supporting this effort. By sending large number of letters we can draw their attention to this issue and resolve as quickly as possible. There are other strategies that are being discussed and will be underway soon to tackle this issue. This is the first and the most important step up on which other steps depend.
I request all the members to start sending the following 4 letters. For your convenience the letters have been completely written including addresses to be sent � all you have to do is download following 4 google documents � add the date, your name and address � and send it to the address provided on each letter.
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcqssdt7_1d3mzhr6c

http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcqssdt7_3d8h2x7dr
http://docs.google.com/Doc?id=dcqssdt7_4fxnvq9tw
To reiterate: You have to send 4 letters � these letters can be downloaded at the above URL�s. Edit the document to add current date, name, address etc. and mail it (regular mail). After doing that, please update the poll so we know how many letters are being sent.
To get more background on this issue and see what has been done so far, please see these two threads: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22052;
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=21716
To achieve positive results we need to send these letters in large numbers - please send them today and let everyone else be aware of this effort. Thank you.

For your convenience the letters have been completely written including addresses to be sent � all you have to do is download following 4 google documents � add the date, your name and address � and send it to the address provided on each letter.

To reiterate: You have to send 4 letters � these letters can be downloaded at the above URL�s. Edit the document to add current date, name, address etc. and mail it (regular mail). After doing that, please update the poll so we know how many letters are being sent.
To get more background on this issue and see what has been done so far, please see these two threads: http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=22052;

To achieve positive results we need to send these letters in large numbers - please send them today and let everyone else be aware of this effort. Thank you.
Request to core/web site admin: can you please add a link to this thread on the IV main page to get better coverage to this campaign - thanks.
Please change Dear Madam to Dear Ms. Velarde....
Madam can be taken out of context (esp in Washington ;) )
I mailed all 4 after changes

My $0.02. This could be a pre-emptive measure on the part of AILA. There must have been some talk at the state department of mid-month regression. This might be a strategy to scotch that. Raise a ruckus and send a message that we are prepared to file a law suit. Who knows? We are mere pawns in this grand game. Whatever happens, I hope people keep some perspective and not lose sleep over this.

Good reasoning here. I truly hope it's true and USCIS realizes what they are planning to do..
