Thats what I understood as well. Eb-2 benefited the most because of this.

When there are no country limits like in a situation quoted above, its completely based on PD's. India had
EB-2 Unavailable and EB-2 China was already Dec 03. Even going forward One country might leap ahead of other depending on PD's. There is no further favoring among retrgoressed countries. Thats how I understood it.

Did Amendment 4319 not pass? So what happened?

Your first paragraph is wrong. If you are not working, then you are out of status. Regardless of whether your employer formally terminated employment and formally cancelled your H1B. Out of status means staying in USA legally, but not doing what you are supposed to be doing. If you dont attend classes and go to college when on student visa, you are out of status even though you are legally present.

?
I am not convinced about this part. Do you have any link to some USCIS rule/document regarding this ?
As per my understanding H1B employee becomes "out of status" when the employer-employee relationship cease to exist ( laid off )

Phew! I didn't know that I was out of status for an year. As I dig deep, I came to know how much trouble I am in now. If hope and pray that I wouldn't receive any RFE at the time when IO review my application. I didn't had any problem till now.

Guys I have a basic question if filing for 140 and 485 concurently is rule that uscis can change.. why cant they change a rule to file for EAD and AP after 140 is approved. Since these two are seperate all together from 485 anyway, all we need is filing these two. and 485 can filed when numbers are available.

I'm sure most cases have recd at least a computerized review by now, many of the LUDs are for fingerprinting, name checks, change of processing centers etc. Yes there is definitely activity.
However, it does not mean that all pre Jun06 cut-off cases have been pre-adjudicated.

I agree. Infact my application hasnt even been touched once (July 2, RD), no soft LUD either, even after FP .. makes me believe that there might be other applications out there too that have never been touched so far..so we cant assume that all the cases prior to July 2007 have already been pre-adjudicated, just because the processing-dates at NSC say July 2007. I think the processing dates reflect only those cases whose PD was current when the processing-dates timeframe came out. We will know more accurately when the processing-dates are updated next month. If the processing-dates, even after next month's update remain at July, 2007, then we can probably assume that our cases have already been pre-adjudicated. (still makes me wonder how that can happen without any soft LUDs at all, but anything is possible). I will keep my fingers crossed and hope for the best.

well... there are still family based categories who rely on visa bulletin...

As of 05/10 's inventory report - there were ~200,000 GC application pending across ALL categories.

I expect they would have reduced this backlog by 40,000 in the last 6 months . Will be verified by the next inventory report due , hopefully next month.

If they reduce the backlog by 40,000 "NET" per year , backlog should be over in next 5 years.

If they open the flood gates and let more applications to come in then this NET reduction is not possible.

more people keep of applying across all categories so the demand is not stagnant, it keeps growing.

We will all meet at the Bridgewater temple Cafeteria tomorrow, that is, 02/03/2007 at 11.00 PM. I will get the flyers with me. We will be doing a black and white text on colored paper as that costs 9 cents/page compared to colored text on colored paper that costs 89 cents/page. Please be there on time.

Address for the temple is:
780 old Farm Road,
Bridgewater,
NJ 08807

Thanks,

Yes - thats the irony.... we can only guess USCIS should be working correctly... but no one is there to question them about there bad working...

i am also hoping and guessing USCIS should do there work correctly even after knowing that there will again be some visa numbers wasted in the drain.....

useless CIS.....

We do not need any Congress approval for that Right?
If so can we explore this option??

Like they start premium processing of I-140. They make this rule without any bill in US Senate. correct me if I am wrong

I think, core team should look this option or ask us to find more information about it. I think, core team can meet with high official from USCIS.

what do you guys think about it ??

thx.

Gurus,

We have applied for 485 for four of our family members. Myself (Primary) and two kids got the welcome email on 06/25 and RFE email for my spouse application on 6/26. Haven't recvd any documents in mail to know the reason, but my questions to Gurus is

- How long will it take to get Card Ordered email after Welcome email. We havent recvd the welcome package in mail yet.

- Is there any relation between not getting Card Ordered email and RFE on my sopuse application.

- What could be the potential reason for RFE on my Spouse Application.

Thanks in advance.

U could get notarized at ur local banks or at ur work place if u ahve anyone who has a license

i believe you dont have to put in any recpt # 's just your name...


and also anyone knows the fax #??

I've already got my GC, but will file this.
Anybody can file a freedom of information act request. It is a general principle of democracy that the public needs to be in an informed position, and sunlight is the best disinfectant for government.

I think that the receipt number referred to is the FOIA receipt number that you will get back after sending this, not your AOS receipt number.

Congrats guys

Came to know about this and signed up for 20$.:)

I have some Delta Skymiles (3729miles), Not sure how to donate. If anyone needs them let me know.

please participate

with StarSun. there are so many people in neighboring states (to DC) who can come during advocacy days, or atleast offer accomodation, hotel pickup drop offs. hardly anything to loose. its pathetic that people will line up for free lunch, but will not do anything to get it, even when there is nothing to loose.

Do you guys think this is good time to stop consulting and joining a full time job(even though it pays less), if we can find one.

If your 485 has been filed and it is past 180 days - then fulltime job in wall street is safe otherwise you are better of with your consulting company
