yes, they do think for the betterment of THEIR country. you and i don't fit in THEIR model of GOOD for their country.
well maybe, but our goals should be to convince a small group of just law makers, who are generally well educated, intelligent.

This will goto house senate conference where house dems want to strip all the immigration provisions (bad news for us) from this minimum wage bill. The key is for the conference to agree on keeping the agJobs bill which will keep these increased numbers.


Let not celeberate., but will research and underrstand

D. EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY IN THE COMING MONTHS

There has been no forward movement of the Employment cut-off dates for November. The reason for this is that it is still too early to see what impact the movement of the cut-off dates toward the end of FY-2007 may have on demand. Depending on the rate of demand being received from Citizenship and Immigration Services offices for adjustment of status cases, some forward movement of dates may be possible for December.

It is very clear that USCIS is yet to complete the receipt of all I-485 applications and are not in a position to give any statistics to DOL. I think then they will be busy in issuing AP / EAD based on the receipt. Considering the current work load, I think it will take at least couple of months for the USCIS to give any reasonable estimate to DOL regarding the actual demand. Till that time, I think DOL will be forced to publish the same status every month. :(

I wish USCIS can use the people worked in Backlog Elimination centers to issue EAD / AP and clear I-485 receipts and provide some meaningful figures to DOL. [I hope they do not create another July bulletin fiasco :D]

Someone mentioned that all vaccines except for Hepatitis B can be completed in 2 days...Hepatitis B takes 6 months. My PD has become current and I haven't had my medical examination yet. I have to take Hepatitis B since don't have immunization records from India.

Does this mean that I can't apply for my I-485 for the next 6 months until I am done with all my Hepatitis B shots?

Thanks,
Jayant

I am not sure if you need Hepatitis B though. I didn't have Hepatitis B either. The physician did blood work and certified that I satisfied all immunization requirements.

I applied AP and EAD togather... some people have posted EADs status did anyone get the AP?

he didnot apply new H1.my wife came to u.s.a on april 2 and he took the i-94 and
he has applied for transfer to the old H1(2005 one for which stamping was no done)with i-94 attached

Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")


This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.

As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.

Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative

As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.

The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.

u can post it as an attachment on immigrationportal website and post that link here

ex: http://boards.immigrationportal.com/showpost.php?p=1877058&postcount=1

I'm sorry, I tried to add the file as an attachment to the post but it won't work.
If you know of a different way to post the file here let me know.

When did you submit your SR? I have done the same as well and awaiting a reply on it.

May 3rd 2011. When did you do yours?

I made calls to all the offices listed.
You know feel better after doing that; may be it�s due to feeling of doing something for me/my future.

Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.

We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.

Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.

People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.

Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.

Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.

You have to take things in your stride man. We all know this whole process is broken, but lets cheer for our fellowmen who are lucky to apply for I-485. Your time will come around soon. Cheer up!;)

Do you have any count of how many LC's have been approved with PD between March 28, 2005 to Dec 31, 2005 in the category of EB-3 ROW?
Below is the Count:

PD Approved Approved in Total
in FY 2006 FY 2007
(10/01/05 (10/01/06-
- 9/30/06) 9/30/07)


3/28/05-4/30/05 12 12

5/1/05 - 5/31/05 89 85

6/1/05 - 6/30/05 110 239

7/1/05 -7/31/05 175 334 509

8/1/05 - 8/30/05 421 402 823

9/1/05 - 9/30/05 694 79 773

10/1/05- 10/31/05 944 944

11/1/05 - 11/30/05 906 906

12/1/05 - 12/31/05 1022 1022

1/1/06 - 1/31/06 1007 1007

2/1/06 -- 2/28/06 952 952

3/1/06- 3/31/06 1140 1140

4/1/06- 4/30/06 896 896

5/1/06 - 5/31/06 980 980

6/1/06 - 6/30/06 916 916

7/1/06 - 7/31/06 775 775




Above is the total number of LC approved with priority date between March 28, 2005 to July 31, 2006 ( My PD is July 28, 2006) on monthly basis based on the data published by PERM process.

The first column showed the priority date. The second column showed the approved LC with the PD range but approved in FY 2006 and the third coulmn showed the number of LC with the same PD range but their Labor approved in FY 2007(as different application can approved in different times).

If we assume that all the applicants with PD before July 1, 2005 have been approved then remaining numbers are total of 11979 with PD before July 31, 2006 and after Jun 30, 2005. If we assume that all the applications with PD before March 1, 2006 will be approved within this FY i.e before 9/30/2008 then only 4707 numbers of applications with PD between March 1, 2006 to July 31, 2006 will be left.


Based on above data how could you assume that Cut-off Date will be back to 2004 and it will take 2/3 years to even cross the year 2005.








I guess it is not going to move any further.
There are more than enough applications waiting to be approved than the visa number available for ROW this year. It will move backwards to 2004 date in October when visa number for 2009 will be available.

Remember, PERM started in March of 2005, and there are floods of LCs with PD > March' 2005. It will take 2/3 years before it can move beyond 2005.

Thanks man. Yes, i am already planning a vacation. Haven't seen Colombo in almost 9 years now. It will be exciting!!!

Dude that's awesome news!!!! Mines surely around the corner ... of this year lol... i'm in no hurry i'd rather everybody before me get their GC soon enough. Enjoy machang and if i were u i'll take a vacation :)

Just spoke to Hinjosa, will be calling the rest in a few. I told her I would like to leave a mesg fr the senator. I told her I live in DC and would like the senator to support Zoe's bills.

Actually it was quite easy! Thanks for the compliments though.

I am also going to open my first thread today!!!

Approved today in the most RESPECTED way for both Primary and Derivative.
--No Porting
--EB2- with qualified credentials: BS Engg;MS USA;
--No substitution

Called USCIS CS and verified information; and CS opened SR

Has been a long wait. Came in 1999 for MS, straight out of college from home country.

Oh your status said mentioned it as "RESPECTED". May be you are a special case for USCIS. Good for you.

I hope you realize that the only thing you gained is the disrespect of your peers. Enjoy it.

Hta's great, I really hope Atlanta would start moving. Mine is over a month now but there are lot of applications over 90 days.

My lawyer just filed my labor on monday he gave me a
number A-0XXXX-XXXXX . is this a valid format for a labor receipt. I think he applied through Detroit DOL. It is under EB3 and how long does it take to get approval.

Thanks for the update. Will participate in what ever way is needed to keep this moving.

I didn�t want to go to DC rally due to my surgery appointment (September 6th) because I can not fly for three weeks after the surgery.

Guess what?, I have postponed my surgery appointment date, booked tickets and going to DC rally on Monday evening and flying back on Tuesday night.

I also urge people to take a day off and attend the rally.

Me and husband will attend and also contribute. Will wait to register until get approval for time off from job. Any one going to DC from Baltimore can contact me so we can arrange car pool.

Eb3retro,

I feel very sad that you decided to go back to India. If Jan03 PD can loose hope then we are way behind. I hope you don't mind giving media interview. Good Luck.
