My lawyer received receipt notices for all applications filed at NSC today. Here are details:

Package mailed: 06/29/07
Received at NSC: 07/02/07
Notice Date: 08/08/07
Notices received on: 08/13/07

This was a I-140/I-485 concurrent filing for EB3/India with PD Aug 03.
9 applications were filed:

I-140 (1 for self)
I-485 (3 self/spouse/child)
I-131 (3 self/spouse/child)
I-765 (2 self/spouse)

None of the money orders / checks have been cashed yet.

Another clause which dreads me ... "Waiver of Rights"

5. Employee also understands and acknowledges that there are other state and local human or civil rights laws as well as other statutes which regulate employment, and understands and acknowledges that the common law of contracts and torts may regulate employment in some fashion. Employee hereby waives and releases any rights he may have under these or any other laws or contracts with respect to his employment and termination of employment at the Company. He agrees to give up any claims he may have against the Company, alleging that they have (a) discriminated against him, (b) breached any contract with him, (c) committed any civil wrong (tort) against him, (d) sexually harassed him, or (e) otherwise acted unlawfully toward him.


These kind of agreements doesnt stand in any court .You can always say that you are forced to sign for your livelihood period.Esp. if he is a desi employer he even doesnt dare to go to court as that will cause more damage.

I send emails to every one on the above list.

Its amazing how this community reacts to these set backs. For last few months I have been consistently seeing people with EB-3 complaining and pleading to the community to come together and join hands to eliminate the country cap. But most of the words fell of dumb ears. Most of the EB-2 members did read the pleads and requests, but did not bother to take and concrete actions or even comment on it.
Now that the EB-2 is regrogressed to 2000, suddenly all the EB-2 members jump in. What happened, friends?
This is plain selfishness - on the part for few lil stratured people. They should be ashamed of themselves or even to comment on these forums and come up with ideas.


You got it just right. Dear friend, this is the truth for immigrant community. Everyone here stands for their own GC, how can we expect others to fight for you. So as and when USCIS hurts different categories, people come here and form a loosely coupled organization.

Applied for EAD on 24 July 2008, recd today. Valid for 2 years from the date of approval. Though lost almost 2 months on the previous EAD.

Mine AOS is EB2 - PD Aug 2006

think it will mov in next bulletin

Hello All,

Talked to my lawyer today about the checks; they have been encashed for myself and my spouse on 9/4. My RN starts with SRC.

My I-140 was approved from Texas and my AOS/485 was mailed on july 2nd and arrived on july 3rd to NSC.

Just a curious question for those you have already received their RN#. When checking the case status it displays "I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS "...will this message change when EAD has been approved and mailed?

Thanks and good luck to all.

I received 2-emails one 9/5 and one on 9/9 with the same message saying my EAD card production Ordered. I don't know why they have sent 2 emails.

I am still waiting for my wife's approval. Even though we applied on same day.

ND: 07/25
TSC

Please all sign this petition it will hopefully help others and there for the grace of god could happen to any member of this site, so please help and sign

There just has to be a compassionate visa subject to documentary evidence

This situation can affect any of us at anytime. My dear husband was diagnosed terminal 4th May 06 and passed 13th May 06, the day he passed my sons immigration cases died with my husband

Yes I can (LPR) petition for my son but as he is now over 21 years it will take approx 10 more years which is unacceptable

Hi All,
I got mine and my wife green cards on 21st august, Thursday.
Our case was approved on August 12th.
According to the trend I have seen it takes about 1.5 weeks to get your greencard in hand from the day you get the card production email.

Went to the Social Security office on 22nd. (I had actually calculated the day when I would get the cards looking at the trend on IV, so I had planned for it.)

The moment they see the GC (with a replacement card application of course) they know what to do. I think they do it very frequently.

Should get the new Social Security cards (which do NOT have a line at the top that says DHS authorization required to work), in a week or so.

Also I got I-131 DENIED email 2 days after my 485 was approved (I had applied for renewal). Yesterday got the letter form USCIS in the mail for the denial of I-131.

Here are my case details.

PD-01/06

I-140 -EB2 - TSC- Approved 07/06.

I-485/EAD/AP filed at NSC for myself and wife on 07/19/07

No receipt yet.

Is there anyone who is with me, anyone at all? I need around 15 people to kick this off...

I am just looking for three things
a) A letter that we will jointly send to few people. Urging them to follow a fair system.
b) Talk to your lawyer to discss with AILA
c) Talk to you chapter leader.

I have not read your controversial posts others are referring to but about this one, this is a genuine cause and I am with you for this.

I disagree. Changes in laws do not happen overnight and any efforts that core is making cannot be made public all the time. If they can get thousands of people the benefit of moving to EAD etc. then I am sure they are working behind the scenes to get more favorable changes done when the time is right. I have faith in their ability.

Moreover since I am not actively volunteering in any activities the least I can do is contribute. So I call on everyone to contribute for your cause - none of us is doing anyone a favor by contributing. We are DIRECTLY favoring us by making a contribution.

I guess the reason most of the people are not contributing is because they do not see any strategy going forward. I am sure IV core is working hard on the issues but there is lack of clarity as an organization.When the bulletins come out and dates dont move forward significantly, people start with various ideas ranging from flower campaign to eliminating country cap to EB3 - EB2 portability to ....( Most of them die by the middle of the month).If we look at the past, contribution campaigns have been successful ( up to reasonable extent) when there is a favorable bill on the floor and people see some hope. I remember till last year there was a guy ( I think Chandu13 ) who tried to motivate people for contribution by calling them coward, lazy.....Believe me it never worked...

So I think it is time to get serious and have some synergy and that might motivate people to come forward, participate and contribute.

Good Luck.

The primary reason for the slow movement is due to the following reasons
a) change in the namecheck policy. Sometime during early 2008 USCIS changed the rule for all cases stuck in namecheck for more than 90 days. Around 215k cases (family + EB) were stuck in namecheck this caused a flood of eligible cases. (i was stuck in namecheck for almost 3 years, i know what i am talking about)

b) USCIS changed the overflow rule. earlier EB3 would get more of the unused visas, now most are consumed by EB2 I &C. since there are no additional visas available for EB3 (with no chance of getting any till EB2 is cleared) the EB3 queue has very little chance of moving rapidly. Maybe USCIS did this to drive a wedge in the community, whenever we bring this up there is a slew of red and green dots :p

recapture was the best bet for everybody, one time recapture of the 300k odd visas will reduce all wait for all categories....will it happen..probably not.


They recaptured unused Visas once, somewhere in 1997 I'm not sure exactly when it happened, but that took care of the backlog then.
The main thing which we are struggling with are the 200K H1B between 1999 & 2001 and one more reason is 245i cases. In the year 2001 Clinton Administration gave Amnesty to Illegals, they were given opportunity to file their 485s with PD of April'2001...Now this is controversial, as I have even asked few lawyers about which categoy they fell in ? Some says 'EB-3' other says 'Other Workers' Category.
If it is EB-3 you know the answer why the dates haven't passed the big hump of 2001 in last 4 years...

While we keep hearing the rhetoric about "H1B-only ads" by anti-immigrant groups, there is absolutely no news about thousands of "US Citizens only" or "US citizen or GC onl"y ads that we see every day.

While I understand there is a genuine case of 'Citizens Only' when it comes to jobs that involve national security, 98% of the job ads have nothing to do with national security and or government clearance. Most of these are clear and simple violations of Equal Employment Opportunity law, and hence illegal.

Since no one seems to be interested in reporting on this pervasive violation of law and illegal behavior, I have decided to start this thread to report on this highly-prevalent form of discrimination. I invite other members to post similar Job-ad E-mails on this thread (or open other threads) to highlight this issue. This will enable us to post the links whenever someone brings-up the issue of H1b-only Ads next trime. It might also enable members to report to EEOC in large numbers and/or shame the recruiters/employers from posting such blatantly discriminatory job ads.

I received a confirmation from the Ombudsman's office that they have received my case documents and would let me know when it get's assigned to an immigration specialist.

I have not heard back from them yet... 3 weeks and counting... How long does it take them to followup on the case?

will they throw it out because it reached in July? Oh well, just have to wait and see...

I don't think so. I see lots of posts on this thread where the packages were actually accepted by NSC today. So you should be good. :D

Any suggestions?

It is indeed sad that you continue to pontificate from a perch of indifference and ignorance.

From your knowledge of words it sounds to me that you should get a "PhD" in language or politics or something like that and apply for EB1...Why are you doing EB3???


If we were to buy this weak attempt at making a 'logical point', I would be glad to give Ron a call and have his folks look into YOUR respective EB2 applications and find out if there REALLY was "NO" qualified US worker available for that job. Want to play that game?

Look, the EB system is what it is. Instead of trying to bait others into silence by suddenly finding 'fairness in this system', only because this part of the puzzle narrowly goes to serve / protect your gains ... try to come together to fix the underlying weakness in the system.

For the record, I am not bitter about a 7+ year 'wait'. On the contrary, I have grown professionally thanks to the opportunity to focus my energies towards building a Billion dollar corporation. That said, I would LOVE to see the paperwork of EB2 Java 'gurus' and L1 converts stand up to true scrutiny ... and that would open a whole new can of worms. Game?

Keep in mind, here you are challenging the entire system...you are challenging DOL, DOS and USCIS integrity...

I do not like to annoy anyone ever, but your posts are so annoying that I could not resist. Forgive me if I offended you.

An honest advise: (and please do not take me wrong): you mentioned earlier that you have qualification for EB2. If I were you, I would definitely pursue the conversion from EB3 to EB2 before it gets even tougher to do so. And this is not jost for you or even EB3, this applies to EB2 as well. Every EB2 should try to get EB1. Going higher up in hierarchy is only beneficial.
