You are missing the whole point. If it was the way they worked it's fine, or if that's the way they are going to work that's fine too. But the only reason this was being done so fast is to churn out the maximum pending EAD's with 1 year approvals, so they come back to us with $340 checks next year. If it wasn't greed than they wouldn't have put point 5 and made EAD free only for post July 30 filers. If they were really loaded with application they would have done 2 years AP too.
And don't talk about India here. We are the people who paid peanuts to study Engineerings, doctorates etc from world renowned Institutions. We harldly pay for any services provided by the govt. And above all, what are we doing in return to our countries since we left. We never even bothered to go back and check how's our motherland doing.
I feel we don't have any right to talk about India....

Yes, I mean, eventually they would get their citizenship. It takes few years, but they will get there.
Are you sure it is possible to sponsor your nieces, uncles etc if you are permanent resident? Don't you have to be a citizen to do that? I always thought you have to be a citizen to do that.

All,
Dont take it too seriously .... and disturb ur sleeps and all .... See, if the receipt has to come from somewhere else, then its a different story ..... USCIS is the one who has to generate the receipts and we have to send the receipt back to USCIS ....
If USCIS themselves are delaying the recipts for whatever reasons, its their problem to handle .....We can show many other proofs as initial evidences ....Its no big deal for them to verify this ...
Its not that we r missing an important report such as medicals which USCIS can get only from the applicant .......
More than anything, I just believe in God ....
Our applications WOULD NOT BE REJECTED ... JUST RELAX ...........

I agree with most of your post, but to state that 5yrs of wait is not a catastrophic delay - you have to be really very patient, and frankly unimaginitive to know what you can do with your green card.
Going forward, only people hit with retrogression will wait for 5-7 years. And if you look at the percentage of people getting a green card, a large number of them will get it in a couple of years, while the rest of us will suffer the nonsensical country cap.
Companies hire individuals not only because they can get the job done, but also because they see that the individual will evolve in his/her role going forward. Which company will continue to keep you in the same position for 5 years, doing the same thing day after day? You have to be just dumb enough not to get promoted and with zero ambition to succeed.
Understand that we are stuck. This is not what we want.
There are companies that do not want you to evolve and despite your abilities keep you stuck in EB3: that way they get more out of you, unless you decide to quit and take further risks.

1. the sponsors are current Judiciary cmtee chairman and
the past repub judicial cmtee chairman- both are very
influential senators, not push overs.
2. Senator from Washington has heard earful from the
tech lobby.
3. Our buddy Sen Cornyn is also a sponsor.
4.It restores provisions for EB-1, outstanding professors, etc.
NO SENATOR WILL WANT HIS/HER NAME ON THERE TO GUT THIS
AMENDMENT ENTIRELY. AT THE MOST THEY MAY ONLY TRY TO DILUTE
some provisions.
Proposed Amendments to the Senate Bill
Late last week, Senators Maria Cantwell (D-WA), John Cornyn (R-TX), Patrick Leahy (D-VT) and Orrin Hatch (R-UT) announced an amendment to the Senate bill that would make important changes to several of the employment-related provisions of the Senate bill. With respect to immigrant visas, the amendment would restructure the proposed merit-based program to add several of the features of the current employment-based system. The amendment would add an employer sponsorship component, and would create programs equivalent to the first, second and third employment-based preference categories for foreign nationals of extraordinary ability, outstanding professors and researchers, multinational executives and managers, advanced degree professionals, foreign nationals of exceptional ability, and professional workers (though the amendment would not provide for an equivalent to the current "other worker" subcategory). The amendment would also restore the labor certification requirement for the second and third employment-based preference categories, but would not provide for a national interest waiver of the requirement.
In addition, the amendment proposes an additional 140,000 immigrant visa numbers for employer-sponsored merit immigrants, and would create a quota exemption for certain highly skilled immigrants who have at least three years of U.S. work experience.
Regarding the H-1B program, the amendment would eliminate the 20,000 ceiling on cap exemptions for foreign nationals holding advanced degrees from U.S. universities and create a new exemption for foreign nationals holding foreign advanced degrees in the sciences, technology, engineering or mathematics.
The amendment would also dispense with the Senate bill's expansion of the recruitment and non-displacement attestation requirement to all H-1B employers. Durbin& Grassley will not let this go that easily. At least some of the restrictions will be kept.

Hi Vina92,
Thanks for asking.
I am happy that we see a change. The Iraq war is not going well. I do not believe that Democrats are necessarily more qualified and honest than Republicans, but the balance of power is welcome.
Regarding to immigration, my point is that I am certainly happy that we may see things moving - not because they will move directly suited to our category - but we may take a ride with the amnesty CIR bill. That is indirectly positive to us and that may turn out to be good thing indeed.
Since the Democrat led bill is primary designed to satisfy employers looking for low income labor and supply democrats with potential voters in the future, my concern is that many of us may get into trouble ahead, when millions of illegal aliens get their cases in the USCIS queue. In addition, I have to observe that I have a long-term vision:I believe that an amnesty of this magnitute will bring the US to its knees in the mid-term. That is more a long-term vision, but that's what I think and if that is correct, that is certainly troublesome because that would make all my efforts to get a GC unviable at that point. I would not worry about that now. We need to finish our GC business and get out of this as soon as possible.
Some members of this forum continue to distort facts. Nothing has changed for me. I captured all the information I had available back then and discussed with you all. In the last two months violence in Iraq has escalated to unacceptable levels and that has changed the outcome of the elections, apparently to our short-term advantage. It is time for a change for sure. Let's welcome the change.
Again, I am planning to discuss our issues and constantly and deliver fresh daily comments to you all on daily basis. Let's hope that we will have more positive news coming.
Regards,
The Ombudsman
"Your dose of daily reality"
I do not understand what Ombudsman is trying to imply. Are you happy or unhappy about Dems taking up the house? We don't know what they''ll do but I definitely feel hopeful about it. Infact it was the dreaded house where everything stopped in the past. Two times in the past senate okayed bills with legal immigration and were voted down by members of ultra conservative right wing Republicans. I am sure anything will be better than the old house.

Hi kate123, either it is a legislative fix or not, it's not up to us to decide. I saw the danger of our time and effort being sidetracked by trying to argue whether it's a legislative or administrative fix. The new secretary has made it clear that she is willing to push for BOTH Administrative AND Legislative fix if it's deemed necessary. Our goal should be bringing enough attention to her on the pre-application issue and convince her it's a meaningful change that will help both the DHS and the applicants, so she will push for changes. Please let me know if you agree.
desi3933,
I completely agree what you said and what is interpreted in the law.
BUT if they really go by law , JULY 2007 fiasco SHOULD never happen.
If you see my earlier post, author has clearly mentioned that "USCIS does not have to define "immediate availability" strictly on the cut-off dates listed in the Visa Bulletin."
Please refer paragraph 8 from:
http://www.ilw.com/articles/2009,0225-endelman.shtm
Well, again its up to CIS how they interpret the law... Atleast if we request them to allow pre filing they might go easy on this and allow us to file for AOS.
Thanks a lot

Hi,
Here is our situation. I am on H1 and have 485 pending for me and my wife. Both of us also have a valid EAD.
My wife was on H1 too, however since Oct'08 she relinquished her H1 status and took up another job using her EAD. Currently, we are planning to have her AP filed (her earlier AP expired in Dec'08).
Given all this, I have following questions.
a). Are there any risks associated with filing AP.
b). I presume her status has been valid so far... reason I ask is that we didn't do anything special in terms of communicating any official agency, when she jumped the boat from H1 to EAD. Were we supposed to?
c). Do you think I can get her on H4 while she continues to work using her EAD. I guess H4 option is more expensive? Any thoughts?
Appreciate any help/pointers on this.
Thanks
No risk associated with filing AP at all
You did not have to inform any official agency but she should have filed an I9 form (i think thats the form) when she used EAD for work
You cannot be on H4 and EAD either or
