Hi Mirage:
Can you pl. share some more info.
1) Which Center you sent it
2) Which date you sent it.
3) When did you receive the approved EAD.
This would open up better discussion. Appreciate your sharing. ;)
Thanks
They hushed up and approved my EAD in 20 days. Why ???? 'cos So they don't hit Jun'30 and give 2 years. They wanted to milk another 680 from me so they hushed up and sent me the 1 year EAD in 20 days.

On a lighter note- "motorize"... at the DMV?
Guys,
One quick question. Appreciate your response!
If I submit my application in person, do we need to motorize the copies?
For address proof, submitting DL copy.
Please let me know.

Someone has obtained the number of pending 485 cases working with a Senator. Those are the kinds of information that we should try to obtain and then make a educated estimate. When that estimate is alarming , initiate some actions.

Guys,
I keep hearing that "STEM will be exempt from the quota". What EXACTLY does that mean? Does it mean that:
1) STEM's can apply for 485 straight away if labor is approved regardless of PD?
2) STEM's still Cannot apply until PD is current, but after that no more waiting for the country quota

desi3933,
May be you're right. for the benefit of the others, can you provide more info, and any basis for your statements. This would be useful information to have for a lot of affected individuals. Is there any reference to INA or CFR that one could look up?
the following are desi3933's comments:
- sertasheep:Accruing over 180 days will entail a bar of 3 years for re-entry after the person leaves the US.
- sertasheep: Accruing over 365 days will entail a bar of 10 years for re-entry after the person leaves the US.
- desi3933: 3/10 year ban applies to unlawful presence only and NOT for out of status. If I-94 date is passed, only then person starts accumulating unlawful presence. There is a BIG distinction between unlawful presence and out of status.
Yes, there is a distinction between if the I-94 date has expired, or if it is valid
Sertasheep -
Here is a link that has details about both both Out of Status and Unlawful Presence. Please note that 3/10 year ban applies only for Unlawful Presence case only.
http://www.immigrationlinks.com/news/news729.htm
As per memo -
Aliens Admitted Until a Date Certain: In general, an alien admitted until a specified date will begin to accrue unlawful presence either:
* when the date on the I-94 (or any extension) has passed, or
* if INS or an IJ makes a finding of a status violation, whichever comes first.
Not a legal advice.

US economy is designed this way, everyone will get their own share. No one bothers about optimizing the chain and reducing the cost. If they do that whole economy will collapse. If people started sticking to one marriage and stop taking the divorces, these lawyers will not have work and that portion of economy will collapse. If you have time please watch this video

I hope you are wrong about this. I do not see anything on the Approved AP that it should has been used for "humanitarian" purpose. It just mentions that the intention of AP is to allow the AOS applicant to return after temporary travel outside US. Correct me if I'm wrong.
You are absolutly incorrect. Unfortunatly most lawyer or their web sites do not explain the limitation of "parole". Because most of the CBP at POE are flexible; that does not mean that the law is flexible. This is what the instruction for AP in the form.
"Advance parole is an extraordinary measure used sparingly to bring an otherwise inadmissible alien to the United States for a temporary period of time due to a compelling emergency. Advance parole cannot be used to circumvent the normal visa issuing procedures and is not a means to bypass delays in visa issuance."

I received my EAD last month. But no AP yet. However, i received an email from my lawyer today that.....my AP got rejected. The rejection letter is saying that I485 got approved that's why the I131 is rejected.....therefore, my lawyer is waiting for the I485 approval.....but my lawyer told me that I can expect my card soon.
I don't know how to react. The online doesn't have any update about the I485 status yet. They received my application on July 2, 2007.
You signature shows like

Ron says it will be current for a "brief" period. (similar to july 2007 fiasco ?)
It will be a good opportunity for people waiting to file 485. For people already in the queue, it may not make that much difference.

People with grown up kids, I guess would prefer Canada over India. There are many problems starting with the education system, reservations etc. For kids who had been studying here from KG through grade 8-9 it's difficult to get dragged in the rat race in India, especially for normal kids who don't belong to any reservation category.
Yes in Canada we know that finding a job is going to be difficult and we should brain-storm about how to tackle this problem?
What skillsets are in demand? Anybody has idea?
I also have a wild idea like US companies may look at Canada as a outsourcing destination if given very competitive package. One of the biggest advantage will be proximity to the US, so better control over quality etc. That may not turn into a big boom but is a possibility.
My company has offices in both canada(toronto and vancouver) and US .. i have worked for extended periods of time in canada. I agree that career development oppourtunities are limited due to economic reasons, but I there is no way toronto or vancouver can be considered "racist". And talking of high skilled workers, who said there is absolutely no discrimination in the US ? Isnt that what programmers guild and other labor unions are all about ? how come so many people support the blue collar illegal aliens (mostly meat-packers and lettuce pickers), but nobody cares about us, tax-paying, law-abiding highly skilled people ?
The difference is at least the canadian immigration policy doesnt institutionalize the discrimination by making us wait in limbo forever, unlike the US laws. At the end of the day, I would rather live with "limited career development" opportunity in canada and change employers at will than be surrounded by plenty of such opportunity but have my hands tied behind my back by the US laws.
As for "discrimination", we as immigrants always will have to bear with some discrimination,subtle or overt, from the native-born white collar workers whether in the US or anywhere else in the developed world. Our home country is the only one where you can expect to go and join the workforce without discrimination.

With a few bills introduced or in the works, isn't it the time now to act and bring about awareness to our problems? I know IV has been working through state chapters. We can supplement those efforts with other means such as those suggested in this thread. We need to create an uproar about the hopeless situation and endless wait times due to retrogression, backlogs, and bureaucracy. I am not suggesting anything drastic. Just some peaceful ways that won't offend anybody to draw attention to the forgotten issues of EB immigrants.
I completely agree with you. However our problem is 'how do we organize a massive protest". IV is a loose affiliation of people affected by the immigration problems. They all realize the importance of fighting, however majority of them are unwilling to contribute personal time/money/energy for this cause. Flower campaign was first time in recent history, when legal immigrants showed some unity to express their anger and frustation.
It was predicted that once 485 is filed, people have EAD, and spouse working ... affected people will loose the apetite to carry on the fight. And that's what precisely took place. The biggest chellange is to let the affected people realize that if they do not come out and fight, no one will take care of their interest. It seems everyone is waiting for others to go out and fight, so that they can reap the benefits without any struggle. Now tell me my friend "how do we organize a massive protest??"

IV has to do something specifically for EB3 I soon or else we'll lose the confidence of a lot of supporters. 2001...are you kidding me?
We could not even pool $10K for FOIA. For lobbying, one needs lots and lots of money in the range of 100K -200K. What can IV do? Can you explain what you mean by "something'? if all of us EB3's can pool 100K, then we can request IV to do "SOMETHING". Hope every one understands this.

I know you never said that. but your recent comments seem to imply that.
I am guessing that either you are IV core or very close to it.
so can I just ask ... is IV planning any campaigns at all in the near future (i.e. in the next 2-3 months) ?
albertpinto,
At this time we have request for interview from over 7 highly reputable media outlets including NPR Marketplace, NY Times, LA Times, AP. We have asked members to interview if they feel anxious about the current state of the affairs. Can you guess how may responses we have recd till now? Is this not part of the effort/campaign? There are few members who will spend whole day discussing sending pizza or fight over tracker data. But we struggle to find sincere members who are ready to interview with the top media outlets. This indicates to us, either everybody is extremely comfortable with wherever we are and no one is feeling the pain, or just 2-3 of us feel the anxiety due the economic slow-down. If over 30 members can discuss for a period of 3-4 days about sending pizza, and the objective is to attract attention for our provisions, then is it not possible to achieve the same with the available media opportunities. Getting media opportunities is a difficult job. And its extremely frustrating to see lukewarm response to the action items and request for help from the members. Please understand that there are many aspects of our advocacy effort. We may be focusing on a specific aspect at a particular time, and its possible that you want us to work on something else. It doesn't mean that we are not working on a specific campaign right now. So I am baffled by your question of doing a campaign in next 2-3 months.
It is possible that next month we may see new bill from Sen. Grassley and we may have to re-adjust our effort to respond to such a bill. Political events are not predictable, but we have to respond to every developing situation. We are always very sincere in the community effort, so I request to please support the effort, even if you do not agree with it 100%. And please participate in the action items, because they are always part of planned activity and is not an abrupt absurd idea.
Campaigns are not based on a specific provisions, even when everyone of us sees it in that light. Provisions are the end product of every campaign. But to achieve our provisions, there is a long drawn process, which includes multiple stages. I am not able to list all the stages in a single post. But I will encourage you to see this document -

Hi Gurus,
I am confused about the status of my application. I had concurrent I140/485 filing under EB3 on July 30th at TSC(with PD of Dec 2004).
On May 9th I got a CRIS notification that my I 485 case has been transferred to Lincoln, NE -I am assuming it is the Nebraska office.
However, I am more interested in tracking the I 140 status.
1. My RD for I 140 is July 30, 2007 and ND is Sep 26, 2007. Online status still shows being processed at TSC..so which tracking dates shld I follow..is it the RD or the ND?
2. Even though it is concurrent filing, I am assuming the I 140 case is treated independently and is not tied to the I 485. (PD is very far EB3 Dec 2004, but I 140 still shows at TSC)
Due to some personal reasons, it is important to know if my I 140 will be approved before July 2008..given the info above..when do you guys think it may be approved??
Thanks in advance...

What makes people think that USCIS has preadjudicated cases in the order of priority date. If they have preadjudicated cases from 2005,2006 and left the cases from 2003 -2004 then it is the same mess an d i can bet that knowing USCIS chance of this are very very high so even if your date gets current it is still luck whether you get GC ornot.
EB2 - I
PD: Jul 2004
While everything appears at USCIS to work randomly, but there is some order. They claim, and also follow, that they process application in order they receive. "Process" means to open a case the first time, and order they "receive" means when a center enters a case data in the system (this date is close to ND). Until this point, PD has no role to play. Described processes work well for non-retrogressed cases (for countries other than India, China, etc.). If a case is opened, and its all in order to clear except the visa availability, it is called preadjudication. Procedures described (see link below, although they may have changed since), state that once case is preadjudicated, they should be ordered in PD sequence for further work.
http://www.ilw.com/seminars/august2002_citation2b.pdf
Of course, if there is nothing preadjudicated, cases will go in sequence of "received date", which is close to ND, as PD is not even recorded in the system anywhere until a case file is opened.

Figures suggest that there are over 800,000 pending applications. Recapture will get around approximately 215,000 green cards. We are shot of around 600,000 green cards, which will take around 4 years (@140k/yr EB green card) to address the current backlog, which contains your and mine application. This is a deep deep hole and EB3-I is at the bottom of this hole.

Actual number of I-485 pending is 673,694, please refer the following link.

I don't know this number is only Employment based or it has included family based too.
