Friends,
Ofcourse everyone is very excited that the priority dates are current but let's take a careful look for why it became current all of a sudden even when the demand for visa numbers is so high and was backlogged by 5 years up until couple of months ago.
1. I sincerely feel this is just to keep the legal immigrants to stop protesting for benefits in the CIR. Well, the CIR is supposed to be dead right? Wrong, count 2 weeks from now and the Bill will be back with tons of benefits for Illegal aliens and none for legals.
2. Currently Service centers are processing cases received in Aug-Sept. '06 with the few thousands of applications being submitted for the next few weeks the processing dates will be moved back by couple of years. All this time we were waiting for the priority dates and now will wait for the processing dates to be advanced. What a circus!!!
3. Just when the case is ready for processing that would be atleast couple of years from now, the priority dates will be retrogressed may be by 10 years this time.
To my knoweledge we should still continue to lobby the senators and get the Visa numbers increased, get the country quota eliminated, Only one visa should be counted per family... and get it into the CIR. Should the CIR pass without these ammendments legal immigrants will be stuck in limbo for every because there will be no more CIRs in the near future.
TIA

YES!!. Perfect analysis. You are right!. The fight is ON!. It is just that members need to get this filing for 485 out of their way. But lets not get distracted too much and keep an eye on any legislation comming up.

I got approval email too. It cant be sheer luck that so many people are getting the approvals when it was taking 3 months as per their published processing times. Looks to me they just want to give 1 yr EAD to as many as possible. Good way to make money in recession year.
It was general observation that Paper Based EAD is getting approved very fast. We have quickest approval in only 18 days (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?p=250677#post250677). And this was reported a month ago (on 05/23/2008).
So I think it is their speed - it has nothing to do with intention to give 1 year EAD. On the avarage, people are getting EAD in 25 days.
Myself went ahead with e-filing (this takes 50 days). My FP is scheduled after 5 weeks of notice date (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=18737). For E-filing, they have different process,which has not changed in last two months.

To add to this.. Some will think that something good just going to happen since next year is election.. Not sure what makes them think that..
Some are extremely negative-- They will say doesn't matter what you guys do,nothing will happen.
People just don't want to soil their hands in cleaning their house but want others to do it for them.
Lot of people consider it below dignity to do something about GC related stuff, many just want to live they way they are, no ambitions, no motivation to work towards a change.

What bothers me is the requirement of the definition of Priority Date? You would expect some one in the CIS/NRC to know what a priority date is. ....
22 CFR � 42.53 Priority date of individual applicants
The priority date of a preference visa applicant under INA 203 (a) or (b) shall be the filing date of the approved petition that accorded preference status.

bestin.. letters campaign is endorsed by the core. 5 letters is a great start. Hope you will fully connect with your social network to help IV in this campaign.
I have decided to do things which are endorsed by the core in future.:)
BTB my letters have increased to 5 altogether.:D
Why do you try and find an excuse to do less? IV never said stop sending once we get to 10000... or 20000.... We should try and get AS MANY LETTERS AS POSSIBLE. Aim high my friends.
If your statement has been endorsed by the core that they want a million number then forget about this effort.I am feeling sad that i was part of this effort.I am not going to be part anymore unless i see some direct addressals from core to do it hence forth.

Its only going to take 5 people to break away from the 64. Those 35 "No" votes are the ones who want CIR dead NOW. They are not going to change. But those 64, its only going to take 5 people to walk away.
There are 24 amendments. I think atleast 5 people would see their amendments fail on the floor of the house and probably another 5 atleast who would withdraw support because someone else's amendment passed. This baby is going DOWWWNNN this weekend per my estimate. I could be wrong but again, 24 amendments ? That's too many darts on a fragile compromise.
as far as i know Reid is smart about this thats why hes using the "clay pigeon" manuevre where all the 24 amendments would be tied as one amendment and then voted to pass on, once its passed then the cloture vote will come in (without the individual amdts yet voted on) once the cloture vote is secured then they will have 30 hours to vote all the individual 24 amdts after whc a simple majority vote ( min 51 votes) wud be needed to clear the bill...real smart

hello,
during the july 2007 fiasco i applied for i485 and i got my ead and ap, but i have not used the ead and still using and maintaining my h1.
Here is my dilemma, 2 years ago i went to india and used my ap when entering us though i had a valid h1 but i did not get the visa stamped and after entering us on ap i am still using and maintaining my h1 and not using ead. Recently i also got a 3 year extension on my h1.
Now i am applying for my new ap as the old one is expired. My question to you gurus is what should i put in the "class of admission" field? Shall i put the aos or h1?

my company might use this one and i have no say on this. just wonder whether the new york office is good in regard to GC process.
FRAGOMEN SUCKS TOTALLY - but unfortunately I got no choice - my employer uses these morons for immigration services. My reasoning is based on my experiences below:
1. I have been mailing Fragomen for 3 MONTHS (YES THREE FULL MONTHS) to initiate my H1 extn 6 months prior to my visa expiry cause I had a need to travel outside the US in a short notice and I did not want to be stuck because of me not having my visa extn papers in time. Despite 5 e-mails and 5 voice mails - there was no response from FRAGOMEN. Escalated this with my company and we had a conference call to discuss this issue with Fragomen. Guess what FRAGOMEN's Client Service Manager had to say when I asked her about they not answering my e-mails and voice mails for 3 months - "I CANNOT ANSWER THIS QUESTION SINCE EVERYCASE IS DEALT DIFFERENTLY AND WE DECIDED TO INITIATE UR H1 EXTN 3 MONTH PRIOR TO UR VISA EXPIRY." WTF!!! Who the hell are they to decide on my professional/personal travel needs? I really wish I had their job - do nothing at all and when questioned say "I cannot answer that question".
2. To make sure FRAGOMEN do not mess up my 485 as well, I asked them in the same call the time they would take to process and file my 485. The client service manager promised me that they would file my AOS in 4 business days from the day they receive all the documents from me. I made sure I sent all the documents including Medical Exam results in less than 2 days from the day we had this call. Guess how long they took to file my case - 3 full weeks - 15 business days!!!!
For the kind of money they charge, the service is totally bad. FRA-DON'T-GO-MEN might be a better name these guys.

I had an august 2004 labor that USCIS erroneously predatd on my 2006 August I-140. A couple of years ago when 2004 Aug was current, I followed up and was then told that I should never have been given the 2004 date as no I-140 was filed for it..and told, So, sorry about it...but please keep waiting for the priority date.
a USCIS mistake that they corrected after 2 years ....lots of frustration for me....

Thanks desi3933. That's very comforting!
As I mentioned earlier, it is a simple RFE. In addition, Desi has backedup his suggestion with the proof - Just ask your attorney to respond to the RFE. Post back when you get updates, it will help IV community, who are in similar situation and also the members who do not have a proper understanding of statuses.:D

No, Canada is not a better option. INDIA!! is a better option. You got to get it out of your mind that you need to go somewhere. It is different in the US because you have some industries and jobs here that you cannot get anywhere else. Also a certian lifestyle. But common Canada, eastern Europe, Africa... you guys are nuts.
India is a MUCH better option than anywhere else except maybe if you get a real good job in China. As far as I am concerned if nothing happens here I am headed back to my hometown-Bangalore, India.
I have much better lifestyle and opportunities than Canada or even western europe! Period.
Going back to India is not a bad option at all, but it is really subjective to each individuals about what gain we are going to get out of gaining GC or citizenship from US or Canada like settling down in these countries for good or moving back to country of origin later. In my opinion gaining citizenship from US or Canada before going back to India will be always advantageous, one future perspective these countries have bilateral agreements with other developed nations where you can travel without visa for business trip or for even jobs where you're treated differently as against India citizens(Asian origins doctors who work in UK know this difference). Its a known fact that the pay structure in Gulf countries are different based on the citizenship.

My suggestion would be.
If your PD is After Jan 2004, you better get started and look for a position in EB2. If your PD is before Jan 2004, you wait and watch until end of this year and then make a informed decision. But in the long run , it makes lot of sense to be in EB2 if your job requirement is eligible for it.
Also take a look at the trend of the PERM processing. as per 2007 stats 40% of the cases got struck in audit process.
