My application was mailed on June 25th to TSC and picked up by TSC IO on June 28th . The new weekly processing update states processing/receipting completed till june 28th. But they still haven't cashed my check or issued any receipt ? When I called the 800 number to ask them regarding my application they first told me to wait for 15 days ,then 45 days and now 90 days. Whats the point of issuing weekly update if USCIS itself is not following it,it is creating more anxiety then doing any good.

I am wondering what if they misplaced/lost my application, will they accept resubmitting a new I485 petition after Aug17th based on Fedex signature conformation receipt signed by an IO, of previously filed petition??:confused:

It has been hinted that EB3 lobbying undermines recapture efforts . Could proponents of this theory explain how??

Why both cannot happen simultaneously??

I have only seen implications to this effect but nobody has come forward and said it plainly - You EB3 folks don't spoil the EB2 party because you had it good previous years and we are afraid if you make too loud a noise, our party might come crashing down.

Everybody seems to imply it but nobody wants to call it as plainly as I stated it above.

I might have exaggerated the fear factor but I am unable to find any other reason as to they would discourage EB3-I lobby under the pretext of recapture efforts.

We filed i485 on Aug 1st still no news from receipt.

I don't know which office, the lawyer took care of it.
I'm from northern california, so I assume that will be Nebraska.

What about EB applicants from non retrogressed countries/EB1? The primary gets GC in 6 months and the family will have to wait in FB quota?

Hello, we are not asking for a change. We are asking for a correct interpretation of the law.

gcspace,

My packet(self and spouse) at NSC was signed by F HEINAUER on Jul 16th at 11.14 am.

Attorney received all our Receipt Notices today from CSC. Our packet was reached NSC on 7/27. NSC sent the packet to CSC. CSC transferred our I-485 back to NSC on 9/26 as my I-140 was approved from NSC.

I pledge for 200$.

One of my friend got "Card Production Ordered" email. He is EB2-I, PD Jan 2006, RD- Sep 30 2007, NSC.
Mine is Dec 2005 and still waiting. So what is going on with NSC? Are they also doing the same thing that TSC is doing? latest cases first?

If Democrats win CIR will be passed including relief for legals. But since USCIS will be deluged with (no surprise - no money to tackle the load) it will be an "unofficial retrogression" which Texas service center has always had. A lot of people with 01 and 02 priority dates were "current" for a long time, then it was incompetance and delays at TSC, later it was retrogression.

If republicans win (slim chance they will hold on to the majority in both house and senate assuming Foley scandal does not cause much more damage) then CIR is in the waste basket. Though Agjobs will come back because labor shortage is causing havoc on fruit farms and fruit is rotting on trees. Skill bill is guarenteed, but very little legalization for illegals.

Some people here seem to have a lot of hopes on the Democrats. But the proceedings of the CIR bill showed likes of senators from ND (which by no stretch of mind is affected by illegals!), CA (Diane), IL (Obama) how much they were against legal immigration. Other than Cornyn and to some extent Specter I did not see much sympathy for the legal immigrants. Even the Hispanics have realized Obama is against legalization and are now reconsidering support for him.

As to some ones request to remove posts critical of one or the other political party - as long as the discussion is civil, there is nothing wrong in analyzing the situation and predicting the future. If anything, those Democrats who are subtly anti-legal immigration will realize they are drawing new immigrants (who are traditionally democratic at least initially) in the arms of republicans.

With EB2 getting all the spillovers, there is no per country limit for any category except EB3-I. Why?

Mr. Vayalar Ravi , Minister of Overseas Indian Affairs,is coming to USA on June 27,2006. He is coming to Washington DC on July 4 to meet Indian Ambassador and Indian community. We should try to meet him personally and explain the problems we are facing. He can talk to US counterparts and do something for us.

Let us organize an event to meet him on July 4. Since It is a holiday, lot of people can meet him and chat with him.

Like he will care about us. If he does care, he can not do anything unless he gets OK from Madam Sonia:-)

My wife has got her EAD approval email today...We applied on July 22....

Giving Pay stubs instead of FUTURE employment letter ?

That may be a RFE and then eventually you have to give that letter and do more bargaining with your employer...

I am clarifying myself again. I did not mean to suggest that pay stubs can be used in lieu of FUTURE employment letter.

In any case, why not change your employer after 6 months of filing for your I-485. From the way they are treating you, you should be the first one to invoke AC21.

I don't think you will get a RFE within 6 months, but of course you never know. But if we assume normal processing times, I am sure your new employer would give you a letter. However, do consult with an attorney before changing jobs to make sure the job is "same" or "similar".

Thanks.
Jayant

Fcuk!

Just when I thought about quitting Drinking... Oh Well... back to the booze...

My attorney said he sent my 485 on May 31st so that it reaches on JUn 1st. Will update as soon as my checks get cleared.

It will move in July for sure. It has to. I am guessing there will atleast 40k visas available for the last quarter.

I am guessing it will move to Dec 2002. A bunch or guys will be happy with that move.

I landed on December 2009 on a Sunday and did the visa stamping on monday, for the h1 they asked status in canada and i said i landed yesterday; got the visa stamp but in the annotations it says canadian resident; got through the POS without problems
