One of my friends with a Phd in EE had to do something similar at Chennai consulate and had to wait for like a month. I guess Phd + research might trigger such paranoia among Visa officers.

Your next step would be to copy this and post it in anti-immigration site. Go ahead.... I have seen my suggestion being copied and posted in anti-immigration site.

Thanks for finding this out. Anyway, who in hell would file for a labor certification when companies are laying off. As per the rules companies cannot apply for labor certification for 6 months from last layoff.

Don't try again

It is my turn to receive the "Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident" today. My depenedents are yet to receive this mail. This forum, Immigration-law, Immigration portal by Rajiv Khanna and many other immigration lawyers' websites like Murthy's etc were very useful to understand the immigration laws.
I did everything myself (EB2-NIW - India) - I140, I485, AP and EAD and my PD (I140 RD) and I485 RD are 09-29-2005.
I did make a one time conribution of $100.00 to IV.
Thanks a lot. All the best to all.
You are saying ur PD was Sec 2005? Mine is Dec 2005. Should I also expect it sometime soon :)?

Hi- When I started off with the green card process, I had not idea about what most of the things meant. I joined a very reputable Fortune 500 company in 2006 (the same year I came to the US on a H1B), and started my GC process in 2007. The company offered me an pre-approved labor with a 2006 PD, which had a matching requirement w.r.t job description and salary.
During July 2007, i filed for my I-140 and I-485. Subsequently, my I-140 got approved without any issues. Now, given that my priority date is close to being current (2/14/2006), I'm afraid if using a pre-approved labor will have any role to play with my I-485 approval.

And no, I'm not working for a consultant. And I have been with the same employer since 2006.

Please don't start off with the jumping the queue argument. When I used the labor substitution, it was perfectly legal, and didn't even know what a priority date is :-)


Thanks.

Heard about a similar issue with the EAD for a colleague at work today. Will let you know what the company lawyers recommend him to do....

Good find...Something is happening...So GCs for most of us soon without the need for any visa number availability rule? One can only wait N watch...

Nothing to get excited about. As far as I know, USCIS definition of backlog does not include cases waiting for visa number availability...But surely, this will be a great relief for people whose dates have been current for a long time but for some reason USCIS has put their cases under admin processing...

Guys,

I found this site where in we can send letters to our senate members or house representatives regarding the issues we face.

Letter content pre-exists if needed you can change.

Let's inundate senate & other members with what we are facing..

EB2 Labor Pending

You are all set if you have gone through your FP.

my case was recieved Dec 07. (H1B extension)
The website says they're processing Dec 21
However checking my case status, it still says received and pending

How come?

I would not say that suing USCIS is of no use...It does have its own uses....

Most of the 'American people' donot think beyond their own thing...Some donot have intellectual capacity...Some lack the curiocity..Some are stuck in mortage..marriage..lovelife...divorse...They donot have time to look at our plight or our lawsuit...


For all 'lawsuit oriented' people ...This is some educational material...
Some people already sued the USCIS and their attempt failed...
Still USCIS was forced to make certain statements in a federal court and certain processing became fast because of that...
If you want to try suing please read all this.....

Hi Gurus-
One of my friends had received strange letter from the consulate saying that

We are obliged to inform you that petition for temporary employment for xyz InfoTech .has been returned to the department of homeland security(DHS) for reconsideration, in your case you did not meet the necessary criteria of the visa category, we have asked DHS to revoke the petition.

With this letter we are returning your passport. no additional information or documents are required from you.

We will contact you once a final decision has been made on your application

Please advice me why they send this letter and what necessary action we need to take..


Thanks
Aj

Thanks coopheal. Seems like they are still working on the 1st week itself. Hopefully I should see mine come around soon for preadjudication!

What abt the other categories which seem to be current 4th 5th religious workers etc. Where will their visas go if they stay current?

Hi boreal,
I had a problem with my wifes AP- they had not acted on it for 4 months I asked them to expedite it since we wanted to visit my father in law who was hospitalized for a medical condition- they did not respond to that request so I contacted my Senators office and asked if they could assist in this matter. They asked me for some medical documentation and faxed it to USCIS.. I noticed yesterday that her online status had changed to document mailed..we are still to get it but are optimistic that we should receive it soon.

In the absence of any compelling circumstances though I am not sure how it would work. but I would definitely recommend contacting your Senators office.

seeking_GC,

Which service center did you apply your wife's AP from ? I have applied for my wife in NSC and she is scheduled to travel overseas in 4 months. I am worried it will not come in time

See you there on Sunday

This is awesome!
Gsc999 we promise to do our best here too... we badly need volunteers, though.

Anybody pls reply?

the number 75K by 7/27 came from USCIS not Pederson

Need some views on this
