While FBI is the bottleneck because they are responsible for processing name checks, the USCIS shares full responsibility because
1) NC completion is not required by law to adjudicate AOS
2) NC requests from the USCIS do not have a processing timeframe, so why FBI should care if those requests are lingering forever?
3) the USCIS is aware of the problem, but did nothing to fix it, trying to hide it by creative reporting instead.

Hi Kewl:
So there is a difference between "With an IO" and "Assigned to an IO" , right? So, how do you ask the rep about that? Will they tell you if it is with an IO and assigned to an IO? When I spoke to the second level rep. it appeard to me that my case is with an IO.

for all those whose lawyers allow multiple filings: what are you filling in for I-485 Part 3 section A "Have you ever before applied for permanent resident status in the U.S"?
In my case both applications are proceeding in parallel and I dont know which lawyer will end up filing first!
The one you apply next should should have the option checked.
Word of advice:
Understand the full implications if you want to file 2. I have gone into its details over the past week and this weekend, and would not advice someone to do it just for the heck of it. You should have VERY genuine reasons for it due to some risks involved. This is a grey area and there is no law for it or against it. There can be some risks and advantages.

rsharma, l1fraud,
There is nothing wrong in reporting fraud.
However your argument that you are reporting it since you cannot tolerate fraud isn't that convincing.
If you were always against injustice/lawlessness, you will see a lot of it in your daily life. Do you report or take action against each of those ? I don't think so.
After living in India for long and seeing people put up with all injustice and sometimes doing it themselves, it is hard to believe your argument that you are doing it just for the sake of law.
How many times in this thread I have mentioned that I am getting replaced by one of these L-1B resource, I am a poor Oracle/DB developer who fortunately cannot be replaced by L-1B visa resources (as my skills is a common technical one). So once these violations impact your day to day life you look around for ways to stop this fraud. Its true that if I was a Nuero Surgeon in Phily or a Astro Scientist in Houston I wouldn't be interested in this violation :-) .... tomorrow let this scenario happen to you ... you would be first one to raise the alert.
Regarding 'getting burnt', I don't think there is bigger burn than loosing our jobs (which already is happening) and hope you know that there is something called 'anonymity'... ya lets see whos going to get 'burnt' here. We'll definetly keep you updated regarding the outcome.

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.

Yes, I agree that not filing GC earlier is not an excuse for MBA. The point is he still would have been in the same situation (EB3, 2003 is not too different from EB2, 2005) in terms of how fast he will get his GC..
It is really better. He can recapture his old eb3 PD after getting approval for eb2 based I-140 for the manager job.
Law provides equal opportunity to everyone for PD recapture. This is my point.
And, for those who are going to argue that no one is going to file GC for him in 2003, this is not a valid legal arguement. Granted, it may be a emotional one.
On a related note, how many people REALLY agree that GC is for the future job? But they never dispute that in court of law because it does not hurt their case. Anything that hurts their GC cause makes them victim and root cause for gaming the system.
Have a good day!

Dear Vamsi, SVK, NK, Shahuja, Abuddyz, and all eligible visa aspirants:
I just got an email from the Chennai consulate, 29th day from the interview, stating the visa was stamped today:
"Thank you for your e-mail.
Our records show that your visa was issued today, January 31. You
should be receiving your passport/visa soon.
Visa Information Unit
American Consulate General
Chennai 600006, India
Telephone: 91 44 2857 4242
Fax: 91 44 2811 2027
Website: http://chennai.usconsulate.gov"
This means there is light at the end of the tunnel. Please have faith in your abilities, and in your God. You will hear back soon.
Moral of the story: "Never use a Consulate in India for visa re-validation again."
Please learn from this story, and never again trust Consulates in India for extension purposes.
God bless you all.:)

for some reason, the pdf file is not opening....I will do the flyer posting wherever I can.....We should also probably write up a mail that can be mass mailed to recruit the many who are affected or may potentially be affcted by this issue, or whose loved ones are affected. We should also do a smart media camapaign- even try to draw attention of network programs like 20/20 or 60 minutes that have a mass impact- to the really tragic situation many ppl are in (esp. one case from the last board comes to mind- of course we have to be ultra-sensitive about privacy and other sensitivities of the individuals involved).....getting the attention of the major networks may not be as far fetched as it seems- much less worthy causes have been championed by these programs.....if we articulate it well to the producers involved, with the right mix of facts and the personal, I believe many will consider it seriously, even though immigration is a complex issue to many....like i said we shd not underestimate the american sense of fairness, and we have a very good cause where we need some of it.....it will appear dreadfully unfair to many that people who have been paying social security taxes for 5-10 years are not even allowed the security of knowing whether they themselves will be eligible for it when they need it! That notion will give a jolt to most unbiased americans who typically associate immigration with people sponging off the system

Guys-
Any benefit in filing 485 on the first week of June versus last week of June? Any FIFO implications?
Yes, the I485 filing fee will be tripled anytime, the longer U wait the more likely it is you have to pay the increased fee. If you are family of 4 it will be 4K just in visa fee + Medical + lawyer fee...etc:(

hi,
just wanted to see if anyone who is in a similar situation as me but is current got their GC recently, in july or aug 2010.
I got married in june 2007, just prior to the july fiasco. I was able to file for AoS in july 2007,
and soon after got an RFE for evidence of marriage for my wife. We responded to the RFE immediately, and since then, my case status says "initial review" while hers says "we received your response to the RFE", dated sep 2008.
I will be current next month - just wondering whether the RFE processing might end up taking a lot of time and thus spill over into next FYs visa bulletins (which have a small chance of retrogressing back by a few months presumably).
Has anyone who received their GC in the past few weeks been in a similar situation with status shown as "received response to your RFE" but no updates since....and still gotten their GC soon after their dates became current?
any data points will be helpful.
thanks,
-fb

Yes this has the potential to affect everyone - look at today's main news - 240k more jobs are lost and prediction that economy can get much more worse. The last thing we want in these times is another GC/visa related issue at back of our minds. This is the time to act before its too late.
I agree, wasnt AC21 passed during the similar circumstances in a lame duck session.

Hi,
My company's attorney filed for my PERM and I-140. After I-140 approval the attorney kept the original I-140 and sent me the courtesy copy of the approval. I am now going to file for my I-485 on my own.
My question is -
Can I make a photocopy of the courtesy copy of this I-140 approval and use it to file my I-485?
P.S: Courtesy copy is NOT the photocopy of the original I-140. It is a copy that USCIS sends in addition to the orinial approval.
I am in the same situation, and I plan to include photocopy of my courtesy copy of my I-140 with other docs, as I am filing AOS by myself. If anyone else had the same issue, please share your exp.
