I think there is no truth to this. Can anyone point to a link to verify?

I am currently looking for any observership positions on B1/B2. Please let know if you have any friends who are doctors or who know any hospitals which offer observerships to international medical graduates.

Thanks

Just to let you know.... I got my labor approved in EB2, with MS + 1 year experience. You can try this option too.

While at J1-visa, my employer applied for H1B for me. After 3-months of no response from uscis, we sent a check for $1000 for 'premium processing'. My H1B was approved 4 days after check was mailed out. A week after approval Uscis 'REFUNDED' the check with a note the 'case was approved in regular process' hence the refund.
You can hope to get the refund and if not write to uscis and they are honest about these things.

Thanks for your reply. Do you know the address information of USCIS that I can ask them about this?

you guys are missing the point. contest rules have to be followed to the letter because they are a legal contract. if the rules state that the parents have to be legal residents then that's the way it is. if they decide to change the rules for the next contest due to political pressure , fine. but now they are opening themselves up to lawsuits for not following their own contract. i think it's funny how so many people are in favor of breaking the law as long as it suits their agenda. oh wait these are all people in favor of people breaking the law to come to america illegally. correct me if i'm wrong.

Toy-R-Us's decision to award $25K bond to all three babies is a result of economics and not that much of political pressure, altough that is the catalyst. They recently opened their store in China. They don't want -ve publicity, this is economics not politics. With the dollar falling through the basement, MNCs are diversifying their Sales mix outside of US, altough, that is not the only reason.

good one ghost.
it's disappointing that the sept vb movement was much smaller than expected (i fall in your g3m2 category) but the blessing in disguise is that it will make people believe the long term vision that IV has to pursue the fixes that will solve these problems for good and will help everyone irrespective of their category. hopefully more people will come forward and donate and join IV's hands on the grass root efforts.

I like many others got a PERM labor & got 140 based on PERM labor.

Recenty , I applied 485 (based on this 140 )in this mad rush


Meanwhile, I have also received Labor approval ( from the same employer) from backlog center with an EARLIER PD .


The question is ..... Can I change the PD based on EARLIER PD after I have filed 485 ?????


I am sure many of us double PDs & might need to find an answer to this ?


can someone help ??

Thanks

I am under same situation . My wife got COS from H4 to F1 approved in US. But F1 Stamping in india got denied .

Can she apply again for COS to F1 after coming back in US on H4 ?

Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), chair of the House Immigration Subcommittee, sent Secretary Chertoff a list of questions and a request for documents from USCIS to get to the bottom of the whole Visa Bulletin fiasco. The letter is very interesting not just because it puts a heck of a lot of pressure on DHS right now, but also because Lofgren's folks imply from the questions that USCIS was short circuiting established security clearance procedures to "pre-request" visa numbers from DOS. If it turns out full security clearances were not carried out, USCIS will either need to say that they had the legal justification (which would be a public relations disaster for the agency) or that they intended to complete the checks after the fact (which would be a direct violation of their own regulations). The only way to avoid answering the questions and to make this go away would be to eat crow and start working the case July cases.

What I dont understnad is that if they skipped security clearances on AOS applications to use up numbers..how does it imply taht they would have to eat crow and accept July application...Logic doesnt explain this,

They have alrady made teh blunder of skipping sec clearances...What they can now request is to go back and correct that mistake and ask that any and all applications in July be rejected so that they can do sec clearance on the ones they already used up/approved..

Does that make sense.?

DMV people just look at the expiry date.

As pending 485 do not have expiry date they won't accept it as status.

We must get this addressed. Write to the DMV to sort this out. Pending 485 is a valid status and that needs to be sorted out.

Lets make a list of DMVs not accepting pending 485 as valid form.

All of you who could not apply for your spouses for any reason and now facing retrogression:

Please Keep your spouse's application 100% ready with the exception of medical report before your date is officially current again and file it on the very first day that it is current.

==============
Example:

Your PD = May 2005 EB2

July 2008 bulletin is released on 15th June 2008 making your PD current starting July 1st.

You have about 15 days to prepare your spouse's application and also get his/her medicals done.

Send it out on June 30th to be delivered on early morning July 1st 2008.

This is to make sure the dependent's application reaches there BEFORE any chance of your application getting approved.

==============
If you miss it YOUR app is approved before your spouse's app is filed, you are in for some complications.....

I guess most of you already understand the importance of this, Just mentioning here for the benefit of those who don't..

==DO NOT GIVE USICS ANY CHANCE TO APPROVE YOUR APPLICATION BEFORE YOU FILE YOUR SPOUSE'S APPLICATION====

IS THERE A SHORTAGE OF BALL PLAYERS IN US???

In December 2006, a law was passed to ensure Minor League Ball players get their greencard in 6 months!!

Minor League players == no education, no English, just plays ball!!

I am currently looking for any observership positions on B1/B2. Please let know if you have any friends who are doctors or who know any hospitals which offer observerships to international medical graduates.

Thanks

Point well taken, mades some changes
You are ignoring dependents (1.2/applicant) and name-check cases in your calculation.

Take one by one and try to answer properly.

1. What is CIS is returning visa #'s to DOS.?

There are some unused and unallocated visa numbers reported by various means. Few# got reported by consulate abroad and few reported by USCIS.

2. How USCIS and Consulate can report unused Visa #'s?

You might be reading the I-485 rejection cases by CIS and Consulate
You might be hearing about USCIS is unable to process the applications received
You might be hearing people could not able to file whose cased were current in June.

All these Visa #'s are reported back

3. To me around 20000 such numbers are available for this years quota

4. Can my applications sneak into this #?

Answer is uncertain.

If your have an old priority dates then probability is high

If you have recent 05/06/07 priority date then there could be issues in issuing an EAD. People whose PD are old will take legal action against USCIS of they do not consider their case and approve yours.

5. What would August VB have?

If they do not approve any July2 filling then here is what they will do

a) Retain petition with old PD and adjust them in Aug
b) Reject all I-485 application for candidates recent PD

They are making a decision fast, that the reason Aug VB is not yet published

6. Will USCIS reverse the new decision?

Answer is NO. Why? There is no such pattern in USCIS behavior and July time is running out.

7. How about Law suite?

:) Do not worry there is a slick chance. All appropriate autherities are informed about the circulars

I have no hope from this process. It's just building a fake hope.

8. People are still filling the application.

Candidates are filling because of advice of their attorney. When you deal with the attorney directly they will encourage you to apply because they will get the money now.

There is no guarantee that you will process your application from XYZ law firm in Oct.

If you file now through them, you are bonded with him until you hear some good news from CIS.

There is a say in India.. Always try to out of trouble and Attorney. They will tell everything is possible.

Another thing after July 16th, I am not sure if they can charge money to you directly. They will rush you to pay before just 16th.


Declaimer: I am not an attorney or do not have any background of law. This is my conclusion from reading IV and many other forums. My PD is 2007 EB2.

Congratulations !! Thanks for sharing the info on the forum and for offering your help...

Did you contact the SSN department in person or called them.? Its better to go in person and get hold of the supervisor.

My brother had the same issue, but after 2 weeks of waiting, he used to go to the local SSN opffice everyday and somehow was able to get hold of the supervisor. The Supervisor called him once they got the info in their system and also gave him the number. The actual card came after few days in mail. I would suggest you to contact the local SSA office Super/Admin and escalate your case saying you badly need the number to start working.

Thank you very much, I will try and get to the root of the issue. Thanks for you return posts. Now i understand that I have to fight it out.

you guys are missing the point. contest rules have to be followed to the letter because they are a legal contract. if the rules state that the parents have to be legal residents then that's the way it is. if they decide to change the rules for the next contest due to political pressure , fine. but now they are opening themselves up to lawsuits for not following their own contract. i think it's funny how so many people are in favor of breaking the law as long as it suits their agenda. oh wait these are all people in favor of people breaking the law to come to america illegally. correct me if i'm wrong.

In my case, I have my EB3 labor and I140 approved with PD as May 2004. I have already started a new PERM EB2 from same company in order to port PD. I have not reached to the stage where I can apply I140 (under EB2) to actually start porting PD. With the new rule of "21st May 2007", I am not sure how would my case be treated? Can somebody shed some light on this?

Google search on Portability with I-140 in "Approvable" condition.

That is your solution, incase you have to change employers before I-140 and 485 are approved, with 180 days passed.

Goodluck

Thank You Ms. Sen.

Could you please suggest some other ways to take care of the 3 years pending I-140. i know premium process is one way to go for it & make INS pick the case. But is there any other way?

Thanx in advance
