I work for a Fortune 100 company and they have recently denied my request to convert my application to EB2 because its very hard to complete the recruitment and also they are afraid of an audit.
If there are options outside I wouldn't even think for a second, but there aren't that many employers willing to deal with the green card mess.

Of all the threads , I found this is one of the most relevant threads discussing our problem..
So there will be a lame duck session where at our retrogression problem will be discussed again. And chances of passing a relief are tough.
What is economic recession's impact on retrogression when is it predicted , does any one know?

How do you know that people with more recent priority dates are getting approved and you have been left out? You know this because these members of IV share this info with you and you are talking about using this info against them.
I won't be surprised if this will discourage people to just silently leave the forum after getting approvals.
well if they want to do that.. they can do that... wont discourage us from fighting this injustice against everyone in the legal immigration community... i for one consider the plight of EB-3 at this time to be more than that of EB-2... but why are just fighting among ourselves... instead of doing something as a group ??

Congrats to all who are PRs now!
After CPO e-mail, card arrives within 10 days.
Chain of events are not consistent but usually at 1or 2 days interval, approval and welcome e-mails are seen as hard LUDs.
I-797 notice of approval is enough to go to district office and have I-551 stamp in passport. This is the proof of GC.
Enjoy, do not worry and relax!
Remember your family, friends and IV.
Please be generous in contributing (my continued participation, advisement and $$$$.....).
Recurring contribution, small is beautiful and kaizen would help us all.
Wish you all to be best citizens and ambassadors of peace, prosperity and happiness!!
I directly got the Approval notice e-mail on the 4th - I also got the approval notice this week - I-797C -i.e Monday - but no cards as yet ?:confused:
I did not get welcome notice nor did I get the CPO mail.

I applied for EAD on 06/18/2008
Receipt Date 06/20/2008
Not received it till date!
My friend applied on 06/04/2008
He got 1 year EAD on 06/30/2008.
This is because they were trying to approve as many EAD cases as possible, so that they can earn money next year too.
They probably did this because its a fee based organisation.

Yes, The word Gandhigiri is a combination of Gandhi - giri , the first is in reference to Mahatma Gandhi and giri is a slang for doing things in a certain way. Gandhigiri means protesting in a peacful way but in a way that embaresses the people being protested against.

I applied for the first time in 2001, and then in 2005 (due to relocation) and ended up at the backlog center. Another relocation and now my PD is March 2007, and these recent wannabes want Perm approved in 1 month, I-140 premium processing in few days and then onto I-485 which should be current with no retrogression. Amen !! When do you want the USCIS to bend over for you?

Can some body point me to the full text of the bill if it is available. Also throw some light on sec 302.
Does this relate to only H1-B premium processing or to all petetions including the adjustment of status?

The language is clear. IT talks about premium processing to adjust status for EMPLOYMENT BASED IMMIGRANT petition...H1B premium processing is a done deal....

Applicant appears at local USCIS for ADIT processing. Applicant will not be scheduled for an ADIT appointment, ADIT processing is done by "walk-in" basis ONLY.

Once the applicant adjusts his/her status by completing ADIT processing, s/he is given the I-551 permanent resident stamp in his/her passport.

Its unfortunate you are confused. Still appreciate you took sometime even with this confused state of mind to give your valuable 2 cents.
First of all, its not between me and employer for that matter. USCIS is delaying the process with no logical reason ( am i repeating myself from my first post - hopefully you read again and properly this time Mr.confused ).
All we want is to have them follow a pattern. Wait what am i doing here, you are confused, doesnt matter what i write here. Let me know when you are normal ( after all the hormones are in order, if at all that happens ), we can talk.
Man!
You either get too emotional, or too defensive.
I still don't get what you want to achieve.
We all agree that you are not after the money.
You want them to approve the cases this September, before the retrogression hits in Oct.
They can�t give the GC�s if this year�s quota is already over. Even a judge can�t force them � it is the law � they cannot give any more than the number defined in the law.
On USCIS processes:
USCIS already confessed before the congress that they can�t (unable to) process the applications in the priority date order.
If you force them, they will say the same thing in front of a judge. If the judge forces them to process the cases by PD, they will say it will take them couple of years to make changes to their processes/procedures. In the mean time they will waste visa numbers.
(We are still smarting from the BEC fiasco � at least I am � They took two years just to move the boxes from SWEs).
They have been saying that they are hiring, training and improving blah, blah blah (we have heard all that BS before). And they are going to repeat the same thing again in a court.
So, How do you want to see the USCIS perform and how this law suit is going to help.
Convince me. I will gladly contribute, even though, I have not filed my 485 yet.

We have until tonight to place in the orders so that the flowers can be delivered on Tuesday.
Everyone who kept the faith - thanks and lets continue sending emails or calling people to let them know about it.
People who said that they will send the flowers only if IV core supports it - please send flowers asap.
BTW, I am curious as to who first proposed this idea.

No one can realistically claim a moral high ground here - neither EB2 nor EB3. and that includes me too! Each one of us here are looking for self interest, period. No amount of calls to empathy/sympathy/solidarity will change that.
For example, I'll get behind the whole "restore the old overflow logic for EB3" campaign in a heartbeat if we can have a consensus that EB3 will share the resulting overflow with EB3 other workers category too. EB3 other workers category is typically in worse shape than EB3-I so all the arguments presented here for EB3 (length of wait and frustration, unfairness of it all etc.) apply equally or more to the EB3 other workers. Any takers for this proposal?
So please see all this for what it is and stop the endless debate. You can not realistically expect EB2s to support any campaign that directly harm their interests. EB3s of course have every right to run whatever campaign they wish but also accept that it *will* split active IV membership (rare as it is) along those lines vertically. That's why the calls to stick to "common minimum program" of visa re-capture. Only those campaigns that don't have conflict of interests will be able to draw whole IV membership behind them. It's human nature - plain and simple.
Agreed. The resource(Visa numbers) is fixed and scarce. so it is natural that everyone will fight with whatever they can to access them , unless the resource is expanded (Recapture)
EB3-I will be foolish to expect EB2-I's to help them out .
IMO, IV has sensed this and maintained a dignified silence . They really cannot take a position on this and still function as objective forum .
I think none of us should force them either ...IV has larger objective of increasing the pie and we should all support it.
Where i disagree is why should EB3-I lobbying should split IV . I see no reason in that.

Great job Mirage, if they can lift country cap for 2 years and work per law, it should resolve all the issues. Per their stats they published to DHS, they have 250K EB applications pending, even if you add 100K applications for the remaining, it should clear all the backlog.
Ofcourse CIS can kill it by saying FBI name check etc. But they can't do it for 250K applications pending. Even though I haven't filed my 485 yet, I support this.

I am afraid that you might be right on this. Having said that it appears that there isn’t lot of resistance for our provisions in the senate. In fact, we have been able to get our provisions through the senate few times already but we have never been able to get anything out of the house. We tried twice and it always failed in the house.
So why don’t we try to persuade house to come up with our provisions and that shouldn’t (I hope) have any problem in the senate. If history is any guide, senate has always been helpful to us. Any comment on who in the house might be willing to help us in lame-duck session.
If the Democrats :cool: win, we will be screwed because the illegals will get all the visas.
If the Republicans :cool: :eek: win, we will also be screwed because nobody will get visas.

Hi guys,
My first H1B (2003) had LUD on 14th of July...and today there is a LUD on I-140. My I-140 approved in March 2007..PD is March 2005...Is it good indication that they are doing something with my I-485 case? My application reached NSC on july 2nd (not sure about time as my lawyer sent those papers). My I-140 is from TSC.
Mine is pretty much the same situation and see a LUD of 08/05/2007 on my I-140 today. Hopefully I will see checks cashed in the next couple of days. Fingers crossed. :confused:

The link in my earlier post is a job advertisement which clearly states that EAD folks need not apply. There are 1000s of folks out there who are eligible for that position, but for the EAD restriction.
My question is -
what are these "1000s of folks" doing? Are they waiting for someone else to work for their cause?
If they believe they were wronged, they need to take action. Without any action, nothing is going to happen.
And, yes, these is discrimination on the both side of the lines. Have you looked at the hiring practices of leading desi outsourcing/consulting companies in the US?

nk2006,
please post contents of that yale article (your link is not working).
On the topic of “getting some of our measures during lame-duck session”, I am seeing some speculation (on other sites) that there is a chance these measures getting discussed during that session. I know these are just educated guesses, but it’s encouraging. see following:
================
From another thread on this site got this link, about Yale/Ivy League grads not getting H1B’s. There is quote from someone who thinks some immigration measures may be approved in Lame-duck session.
http://www.yaledailynews.com/Article...rticleID=33577
The House bill, the Senate bill, or some compromise may be approved during Congress' lame-duck session after the general elections in November, Yale-Loehr said.
=======================
This is from a leading corporate immigration law firm’s web page. They provide headlines and commentary on new regulations. There is some speculation about immigration measures getting discussed during lame-duck session:
The Road From Here:
On a broader scope, key House and Senate members maintain their position that Congress will examine comprehensive immigration reform in the period after the November election and before the start of the next Congress in January 2007, known as the "lame-duck" session. However, many of those involved in the debate over immigration reform question the ability of negotiators to reach an agreement, given the wide ideological gap between the House and Senate with respect to treatment of America's undocumented population.
