Guys...please stop this useless discussion of whether to give priority to US educated professionals Vs. Non-US education professionals. First of all, we are not the one who have decision power on this one. Secondly, it will make us weak by dividing on such matter. Rather, lets stop this useless discussion and continue working toward our common goal.

I would request IV core team to concentrate on new bill or some way for relief to skilledworkers like us. I dont think waiting until end of July is good option here. It is certain that CIR is not going to be there for this year..whole US world is thinking of same.

Further request to IV core team to work on some thing different for relief for skilled workers

This will really help. Simple things like posting on various web site forums about IV will be great

GC comes with a 'sleeve' to keep the card safely. The pouch in the sleeve have special silver lining to prevent 'de-magnetisation' over the period. Please, take due care as its not easy to get replacement.

I was advised so, at SSA. As I was about to put the card in my wallet (Ya, I went to SSA to update my ssn) gentleman at the window interrupted me. I thought I should share this small tip with IVian fella.

Good luck to everyone !!

Please note that the funds you have contributed to IV core funds are not part of this thread.

But thanks very much anyways since every penny counts.

I think you didn't notice my message.


Looks like you haven't filled in your pledge amount. Could you do please ?

Thanks

You got that right!, so you are going to help out here or what?

Nope, never to you, may be if someone comes out with a more communal goal, then may be, I will oppose anything you do...doesn't matter right or wrong. Call it personal or whatever, I respect people who see the big picture and act responsibly..

:D yes. I want to predict what I will do (or what i want to do) to USCIS, but i will be banned.;)

Yep, I want to predict what USCIS may do,,, not what I want USCIS to do :)

thanks for responding...any contradicting/second opinions? What is the exemption towards - both filing for 485 and processing of 485 too, right? Isn't it an exemption from the EB quota?
The exemption is just to file, the processing will however take what ever the regular processing time would at that point of time. I am sure that there is no provision to expedite the "processing" of I145.

I'm so thrilled that this happened ... I actually expected this to happen ........ Not sure why they didnt simply make it U .... Hopefully will spur all the EB2 folks to do something rather than thinking that the problem is only for unfortunate EB3 filers :)

Added this info to the profile of Mr.Gonzalez in Wikipedia and also to USCIS and DOS.

Great. Thanks.

How can an EB dependent file in Family category ?

For any one (dependent ) to qualify for filing GC, they have to qualify under one of the categories either family or EB.

Family category:
Applicant has to have a relation with a GC holder or a citizen. When primary EB applicant itself is in AOS status ( not GC) how can a spouse file in Family category ?

2 conditions need to be met for spouse to apply

1. Primary should be having his greencard.
2. PD should be current for the spouse in family category.


Typically condition 1 won't be met for an EB dependent spouse, so USCIS process them under EB category.

Gift Message: Thank you for giving us Hope for few hours on July
1st and taking it away. We enjoyed the ride and the pain. Wish you all the best for future Visa Bulletins.

The way i understand this, not all companies are bound by the EOE laws.
Certain conditions have to be met to be considered an EOE.

Not every employer is an equal opp employer, so those guys can hire whoever they want.
Besides hiring folks on h1b, etc could add to costs for employers. So they choose not to employ such folks.

My 485 application was filed with NSC on June 4th, 2007. I know it is too early to expect receipt notice.

Who will receive the original approval notice?. Attorney or me?. Who will receive the FP notice?.

Thanks a lot

Just made my small contribution of $21 using paypal. Not sure what paypal charges IV on this transaction. I'm hoping the extra dollar would cover the paypal fees and the remaining $20 will go towards the great efforts of IV.

That was comforting !

Are you sure that your application was received on Aug 8th, 2008?
If ture then this is the shortest time I have ever seen for EAD approval.
Lucky you!
May be your Green Card producttion was ordered! Please share your experience.

Hi,

This is for my wife's first time EAD.

Category: EB2, TSC
Priority Date: June 20, 2006
I-485 filing date: July 17th, 2007
Paper based EAD application Received date: Aug 8th, 2008
LUD : Aug 12th, 2008
Card Production Ordered : Aug 16th, 2008

That was pretty quick.
Funny part is, I haven't received receipt notice yet.

that link you have provided is for ability to pay and wage below dol standards case... i read the entire document and wasted 30 precious minutes of my time and a friends time reading that case... thank for nothing.

Page 5

Further, the director noted in his decision that the petitioner has not demonstrated that it is the intending employer offering the beneficiary a full-time, permanent position. The petitioner did not address this issue on appeal. Therefore, the petitioner has not demonstrated that it is the intending employer offering the beneficiary a full-time, permanent position.



.

The text you quoted below only states that the AOS petition can only be approved if a visa number is available, no where does it say that AOS petition cannot be accepted if visa number is not available. we are not asking for AOS petition to be approved we are only asking that AOS petition be filed and accepted by USCIS.

Read again -

(3) an immigrant visa is immediately available to him at the time his application is filed
it means that
At the time of application (i.e. when I-485 is filed), an immigrant visa is immediately available to him

Isn't that they have completed input and receipt issuance for cases received by certain date (late Aug.?) according to their update? How come so many July filers still have not received receipts? Weird!

No, it seems as per the latest USCIS update (on Sept 7, 2007) the NSC has completed issuing receipt notices till July 28, 2007, and TSC till July 2, 2007.

Do you have any other updates?
Thanks.
