    If you guys read the letter a bit carefully, it says they do not have information about the country of chargeability and they cannot share it with us. For $5K all we can get is a breakdown of how many apps are there in each category and then it will be a guessing game of how many are pending for applicants from India/China/ROW etc. Just something to keep in mind.

    Your application will be processed until the stage where a visa number is needed to adjudicate your case. Since EB3 (am assuming here) ROW is not current. Your app will wait until visa numbers for your category becomes current. In other words, your last sentence may be true. But not if you become vocal about your plight and fight for it through activism (i.e by supporting Immigration Voice).

    Exactly correct - if your pd is no longer current, your application will still progress. If all goes well, it will then fall into the "approved pending visa availabilty" - ie when your pd becomes current again, it will quickly be granted. This phenomenon is how uscis managed to approved so many applications from may onwards this year, there was a queue within a queue, so to speak :)

    Back to the numbers game - what I was trying to say is, regardless of what the total numbers of pending applications are (because no one really knows - we can have best guesses), and not taking into count the country caps, the main issue is effciency of processing. The country quotas could disappear, and the overal limit couyld be increased, but without reforming the actual processing side the speed of approval will not change.

    I think we can wait till Aug 15th for I-140 receipt and if we don't get that (:( :mad: :confused: ) then we can file I-485 with the mailroom instructions from the FAQ (:) :) )

    I don't recomened to wait until Aug 15th...since there may be postal delays/package missings, etc.,...very recently happend to me with UPS overnight (aqfter 3days of investigation - tjhey simply said package is missing)....so guys consider some factor of safety time...i would suggest don't want more than Aug 10th.....

    Here is the original letter template sent to USCIS

    FOIA Request for number of pending Employment based AOS/I-485 Applications

    John Doe,

    200 Main Street,

    Chicago,IL,60001

    National Records Center, FOIA/PA Office
    U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services
    P. O. Box 648010
    Lee’s Summit, MO 64064-8010

    Dear FOIA officer,
    Several Employment based categories have been retrogressed for 4 years now and the exact number of pending AOS applications sorted by priority dates in the employment-based category is unknown. Department of state has been establishing the cut off in priority dates based on educated guesses and approximations. DOS and none of the Employment based applicants know the number of applications pending per category, per country sorted by priority dates. DOS visa office expressed similar concern in Oct 08 bulletin.

    “Little if any forward movement of the cut-off dates in most Employment categories is likely until the extent of the CIS backlog of old priority dates can be determined.”

    This information would be helpful in determining the priority dates accurately and in determining when a visa number will be available for a given priority date in a certain category. I request you to provide me with the number of pending employment based AOS applications, (excluding approved/denied) in the following categories sorted on a priority date basis from 2001.

    EB-2 China & India: Number of employment based AOS applications pending with USCIS sorted by priority date on a yearly basis from year 2001 till now

    EB-3 China, India, Mexico & Philippines & Rest of the World: Number of employment based AOS applications pending with USCIS sorted by priority date on a yearly basis from year 2001 till now
    Thanks,

    John Doe.

    Thanks Needhelp!

    So I have trickled into 152 tonight. I thought I'd try my hand at campaigning at some local places and managed 3! It seemed a lot harder than I imagined, I think I need to work on my introduction and smile ;) All three folks looked scared and suspicious of me but atleast they signed! Not giving up hope though! I have some others in the works via some good friends and I am going to try and tap more immigration law firms in SF. I am still pledging 200 and hope for more!! Any tips on campaigning to strangers, and I will be set! Thanks guys.

    Have a good eve all.

    Hi there,
    My experience is people listen and sign only if they have time. They may not stop & listen at a train station, but they do outside grocery stores etc.
    Good luck... and thanks!

    This letter has no mention of the problems regarding permanent residency, it only refers to the H1-B quota issues, we should contact the Congressman Shadegg to clarify that its not just about the H1-B, the problem also lies in the immigration process of skilled workers. If this is not part of his bill then we should urge(request) him to include this.

    PK


    Well thats our fate .. we are always forced to piggyback on a larger issue. With CIR it was illegal immigration, now it is H1-B. But you got to understand that if not for corporate lobbying (who have a heavier stake in H1-Bs) this bill would not have seen the light of day, that too in the house. We got to be thankful we are at least not being treated on par with the illegal aliens .. the broad theme of this bill is highly related to skilled immigration, which is much less controversial than granting citizenship to illegals; not withstanding the tancredos and numbersUSAs who will still be yelling doomsday from the rooftops. Granted we are flying under the radar as usual, but I very much doubt this will be an H1-B only bill without any EB relief.

    Should we include an explanation of why we need the AP? When you e-file, there is no way we can fill in this information online.

    ... and prepared the following documents to be send:

    -Copy of a e-filed I-131 receipt (.pdf, received right after submission, credit card payment reflected)
    -Copy of Notice of Action for e-filed I-131 (received from USCIS, paper)
    -Copy of I-485 receipt
    -Copy of last Advance Parole
    -2 photographs.

    I hope this is what is required as supplemental docs.

    Best wishes!!!

    There is no such thing in the Indian Constitution as the "national language." You can either read the document yourself or you can refer to the recent (late June 2010) judgment by the Gujarat High Court to this effect.

    There should be respect for all Indian languages. The more Indian languages you know, the more familiar you will become with India and Indian culture. Those who do not know Hindi need not rule it out from the list of other Indian languages they could learn. And the same can be said for any of Assamese, Marathi, Gujarati, Telugu, etc.

    Your concern is 100% justified, but BEC has vowed to clear all backlog by Sep '07.

    When the dates move forward in Oct '07, you will have advantage with your PD.

    Please read some thoughts at:

    My best advice would be "be prepared" and good luck :)

    For President immigration is one of the important issue but not the top most priority. In that high skilled immigration is a part of the immigration. EB reform is just a very small for them compared many challenges in the country. But any President will not Veto any high skilled immigration bill if passed in congress. So congress needs to be satisfied in this issue. I think congress has more power in dealing with immigration.

    You said you dont want to get into the discussion on who is better and yet by explicitly mentioning who you think is better, it seems discussion is started :D Being a Friday evening - work slow and I cant help but jump in :)

    American presidential politics are highly media driven. When I came to this country and started following politics closely (12+ years ago), initially I was fascinated by all the discussions and transparent process etc. But over the years got convinced that its all a facade - election process here is as much flawed as in a "third world" country. Election 2000 is the biggest proof. Even worse, here people are easily swayed by non-issues. Media creates hype and media creates perceptions about a candidate, real issues and concerns takes back seat most of the times. Just see now - for last couple weeks everyone is talking about a VP candidate - the power of a VP is limited but yet everyone is talking about her and almost forgot the presidential candidate of the same party. The republican favoring press wants to project her as the next savior (which unfortunately seems to be working) and whip up their cadre. The democratic favoring press wants to project her apparent inexperience etc. We may soon see who is going to win in their "spin". In general republicans are pretty good in spin stories and project an apparently dumb candidate as someone with "whom you can have a beer with" and get him elected; now they might even succeed in projecting a 30+ year senator who backs current administration as an agent of change !!?!!! and people might even fall for that argument. Of course there are spin stories on the other side too.

    Anyways, whoever wins this time - I think our situation wont change much and might even get worse. As the economy get worse - it would be very difficult to get any new bill favoring us (note I am talking about EB green cards not H1B). There is already a good effort by likes of numbersusa and programmers guild to project HR5882 as if it will kills jobs. As we know HR5882 is only for recapturing unused greencards the beneficiaries of which are mostly in this country already. It should have been a completely non-controversial bill - if we can see the resistance its facing we can imagine about any other bill that propose increase of GC numbers or something such. So prospects for anything better happening is very poor irrespective of who the next president is - that's my reading on this.

    Sorry, you totally got me wrong. What I suggested is that you may want to open a thread 'Campaign to remove the similar/same job requirements in AC21 cases', it can happen at the same time we request pre-application of AOS. This thread is for discussion of pre-application of AOS, so if this is not your goal, you may open a thread for your own goals, but please leave this thread to us to discuss the pre-application of AOS.

    thank you.

    I hear some people saying childish things like hijacking this thread if anybody says anything different from what they say. What do you prefer, should I open another thread with title "oppose prefiling AOS", nobody wins neither will I or you when somebody does that. Please tolerate others views then they will tolerate yours.

    Without strengthening AC21 if you allow everyone to file AOS then anti eb folks like Grassley, Sanders, Sessions, Durbin will move from targeting H1b to targeting EAD. It takes 6 months to get Perm approval, with pre filing AOS everyone can get EAD in 6 months, anti eb folks and USCIS know that people will be jumping to EAD to escape H1 crackdown, what do you think they will do, they will add amendments and Bills to put restrictions on hiring EAD just like they put restrictions on hiring H1b. We cannot make EAD into another H1b like hell.

    Prefiling should be done to give relief to people who missed July fiasco only after
    1. Remove\dilute same similar job requirement
    2. Make sure EAD is extended without any rfe. USCIS will invent thousand things to issue rfe, EAD should be in a different league to h1 and it should not turn into another h1 where you are slapped with rfe left right and center. Example Pay stub rfe, ability to pay rfe, customer Purchase order RFE etc etc etc, Green card holders don�t have any problem working in these same jobs so why should EAD people face this nonsense (otherwise it is just like h1). Before people complain this will become like a green card, lets me answer in advance, if a person from ROW can get his green card within 12 months of coming to US, why cannot people from India\china who have worked in US for the last 5 to 10 years get the above mentioned relief on EAD. EAD should be superior to h1.the only restriction should be you should work in the same field, i.e. if your labor certification is for Software engineer, programmer analyst etc , then you work in a software related job and cannot become a greeter in walmart :-)

    Without strengthening EAD\AC21 with the above mentioned items you are turning EAD into just another h1.If we push for prefiling AOS without strengthening Ac21 it is a big disadvantage and slap on the face for all the people with older priority date. Because of July fiasco when everybody got current and filed for AOS, USCIS issued GC to people from 2006 leaving behind people from 2003, 04 and 05. USCIS should have gradually moved the dates from 2003 to 04 to 05 that way people with older PD would have got it first. With prefiling AOS it will become a lottery like in August 2008 where 2006 PD got GC over 03,04 and 05 in eb2. Safeguards have to be put in place for order of priority date otherwise USCIS will indulge in this lottery mode and excuse there behavior by claiming they did this to save visa wastage.
