Thanks Saro28

My LUD is September'09 (09/15/2009). I have no clue why touched my came on that date.
It is the LUD for my wife too. But for both of my kids, LUD is October '09 (11/19/2009)

Just recieved a notification from USCIS that my EAD card production has been ordered. that was pretty fast!

It looks like to me that Porters strike again. they have eaten all the Visa's. very few approvals so far. I am worried about next bulletin now. dates can go back now. every EB3 is porting to EB2.

we see the results. they will block EB2 too.
I'm seeing around 10 approvals from yesterday. Most of the approvals seems like coming after hours. Most of the people are saying they got emails after 11:30 PM last night.
All the cases I have seen are from TSC, none from NSC :confused:
Mine is NSC

I know that females are disproportionately represented in these forums - even so.........I would like to see more women participate. Going forward, I will give $10 towards even female who signs up (upto 10 memberships). If you cannot find company, exercise with a cell phone and pepper spray on you.

Aman and other behind the scene volunteers, your effort is greatly appreciated.
$ 50 through PayPal, tran.#ID#9DU03975LR901332R today.

Hi
Could someone please help me? I was trying to schedule an InfoPass appointment, ontheir website,

I clicked on
You need Service on a case that has already been filed

Then next page clicked on

EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.

Give me following message:

At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later.

Return to USCIS On-Line

I was wondering how you were able to schedule an appointment? I would appreciate if you could help me in this.

Regards,

GCCovet

I got the same thing too for EAD inquiries.. so choose inquiry abt other services and you may have some appntmnts available for that.

I have received messages from people who have been here around 10 years without a GC. I wonder how common this is. What do you think about proposing a "fast track" for people who have been here legally for more than a certain amount of time?

totoro ..Very good initiative.

My situation is like this.

I am here in usa for the past 10 years.my I140 got denied last year and the MTR wait time is 20months. The RFE before denial was "ability to pay" . Even after producing all the documents requested by USCIS the I-140 got denied.

I started my GC process again by joining other company but Since My I140 is denied I am in the queue again from the first step the labor process, losing , sept2002 -EB2 priority date.

The get the status of MTR we need to wait for 20 months. 13 months more for me.

1.If you are able to get fast track for MTR s for I140, that is great.Justice delayed is justice denied.

2.Is there any way getting the priority date irrespective of I140 status.

3.what about automatic conversion of EB3 into EB2 if the application is at AOS is pending for 3 years.

This thread is interesting to read through and it is always good to have a devils advocate.
However, one thing for sure that saying mistakes are on us in a black and white manner is not justified.

Whatever we decide we should have good communication among all backlogged applicants and follow the established process.

Just called all of the offices. The staff members were friendly and said that they will pass on the message.

However my wife's status says
"On August 2, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later."
Do you know what does it mean?:confused:

It means that your wife is approved as well...but don't know why different languages and text for both of you. But nothing to worry about it...

Actually I saw an improvement for 03/20. 6 approvals for that day then it's back to no approvals.

Looks like approvals has slowed down further.
This is why at the end of the year there are unused visas. All due to inefficiencies of USCIS.
We are doomed.

I work for a big 5 Software company & our lawyer Littler Global had taken a stand on July that they will not file our AOS application after the June VB was revoked/amended on July 2nd.

Surprisingly , today we have received a mail from them that that keeping in view our best interest they have decided to file our AOS case in July regardless of CIS receipting them.

Wanted to share this information as it may be helpful for you folks too ...

Hahahaha... that's my ironic laafter!
Every one got a nice GPL again this month - yet no one really wants to do anything... why?

Because "Chal raha hai to chalne do" ... the usual Desi mentality...

All this sounds crude - but its true. Truth is almost always bitter... like the VB every month!

I just donated to IV ... gimme REDs if you want, I care the least ... all I really care about is the GREEN (card)...

Good luck fellowmen, we are all together in this boat - all we need is a mass awakening for the lawmakers to our state of being!

Thank you. The community needs to wake up. Times are going to be tough not just for H1B but for everyone else in line for GC.
Advocacy is a long term process that requires lot of efforts and resources. We should not be expecting quick results because of one month's contribution. That is peanuts when you compare it with the amount being spent against us.

It is high time people join the state chapters and try to lead them if your state chapter is dormant or inactive. Action items will happen but we need to be ready. Try to get more people in IV. The mantra for success will be mass participation in the coming times. It should not be a couple of hundred phone calls or faxes that happened last year, but hundreds of thousands of calls, faxes and thousands of meetings.
If we can achieve that then we will definitely increase chances of success significantly this year.

This community needs to think how it can increase mass participation on IV and bring everyone waiting in line on IV platform.

If you want to pick an event close to you and get a few MI IV'ans participate that would be great. We will be happy to make you guys part of Team IV and send you T-Shirts to wear at these events.

IV Professional Network is a great idea. Count me in.

Would've joined Team IV too. But distance is a factor stopping me. I can't participate in any of the marathons listed. My moral support is with you guys.

please answer this poll if you are EB3 ROW only. Thanks

I agree with you but give them(EB3 people) hope that next year we will re capture unused visas either through CIR or piecemeal amendment.
With re-capture EB2 will be current and all the spillover/accross/up/down will go to EB3
and next year sept Eb3 will move 3-4 years.

I do not know much but IV core might be in a good position to answer about how we can
get our provisions piecemeal.

I read that there are 2800 EB3-I visas a year, or about 233 visas per month. Assuming there are about 700 numbers available for the rest of the year 2010, using the data in the latest May-2010 I485 inventory, the calculation is pretty straight n easy with no spillover calculations involved ... here is a possible progress of the PD:

Sep-2010 : 10-Dec-2001

Sep-2011 : 31-May-2002

Sep-2012 : 15-Sep-2002

Sep-2013 : 01-Jan-2003

Sep-2014 : 01-Apr-2003

From there on the numbers are huge per month - about thousand pending 485 per month ... it'll continue at less than snail pace :D

I am currently on H1B visa. My understanding is that as long as my H1B is thru my employer it is perfectly legal to start/buy/partner in a company .... as long as I do not withdraw a pay check from that company. Furthermore, as long as I am maintaining my legal status thru my American employer, it would be legitimate to sponsor an H1 for my wife, hire her in the company I own. If some one could clarify ..... is my understanding flawed ? Please provide examples/experiences. Any relevant input would be great.

Another related question was if I change my status after starting my company to F1 .... would that be fine ? Or after I change my status to F-1, would it be fine to start my own firm/company/partnership/practice (PA/LLC/PLLC) and then transfer my wife's H-1 B in this newly created entity. FYI .... This new entity would be perfectly legitimate PA/LLC/PLLC with solid revenues/earnings/5-10 american employees .... and my wife would be fully qualified to work in this entity as a highly compensated employee providing US govt with a lot of taxes .... all done by my savings AND/OR bank loans.

On another note, if I change my status to H4(dependent on my wife's H1) instead of F1, would the same hold good. My wife's full time H1 B would be thru an american employer. My PA/LLC/PLLC just sponser her part time H1 (2nd H1) .... you guessed it .... to start her permanent residency process. FYI .... Both of us are waiting for priority dates to get current to file I-485 .... both of us have I-140 approved from our respective employers as of now. This is an attempt to get out of their yoke and gain freedom as much as possible in these trying circumstances.

Gurus, your expert opinion would be invaluable. Please comment.

As per my understanding you cannot own a company while on H1.

Finally at 9:04 PM EST I received the magic email for myself and my spouse that card production has been ordered. Thanks IV for all your support thro this difficult time. Best of luck to all my friends who have been with me in this journey. I will continue to support IV in future.

It is pretty obvious they will surely receive more than 40K petitions. Who knows, they must have already got the same in June when they advanced the dates in June VB. Visa numbers are allocated at the time of approval and not at the time the petition is made. Even if they get million petition in July, that does not mean all the Visa numbers are consumed. It is an indicator they have enough petitons to meet the demand to use all the available numbers and alter the VB Cutoff dates for PD in future months. It depends on the approvals too and it is not likely the petitions made in June/july will get approved now... So we must be okay.. but you never know with USCIS/DOL/DOS... Any thing can happen... for instance like the VB is Current for all categories in July.

That's what we all are thinking, that we should be okay. But when rumors like these are posted on reputed attorney's website, it will surely create panic among people.
