Can somebody explain how unused visas are recaptured?
Will unused RoW EB-1 be given to the most retrogressed category (EB-2 India)? Or will they go to EB-2 RoW? What does the law state? Will per-country quotas apply when unused visas are used?

I agree that having things work efficiently without bribes is of course the best way.
But faced with a choice between bureaucracy that cannot be solved, or bureacracy that can be solved by paying a few extra bucks, which is better?
About USCIS using PP fees to pay salaries, arent the fees for non-PP also used for the same purpose? the same amount of work goes into it, the same number of people do it, the only difference is that with PP it gets done faster. Tell me, isnt that the definition of a bribe?
Not trying to convince you, but seriously I would like to understand if there is a reason for the extra fee.
Incentives are often given to workers for extra work. In a back-logged situation, people working at USCIS are working more than they used to (when they started these jobs). They may also need extra recources to clear these backlogs. I am guessing the extra money is being used for these expenditures.

Sabke hope bade bade!!!!!!!!!!!
USCIS Knows the numbers now or they would not predict April 2006 if they did not know. I believe that If you read the predictions of QSK then you will know exactly what might happen. It will go up to Sep 2006 and might stay there or move back to April.
I do not want to bring your hope down but Do not hope anything above Sep 2006.

Hello,
My application also returned for the same reason (no I485 receipt notice attached) from Phoenix. Not sure what to do at this time. I never received I485 receipt notices. Hence, I have attached biometric notices in place I485 receipt notices. I have added a cover letter requesting to expedite the process. I am not sure if this request caused some mental disturbance on the person who is supposed to work on my application and may have sent me rejected notice.

Guys and Gals,
I decided to go with my credit union and called them this morning to lock the rates. I just received some disclosures and rate lock agreement, when I was reading it, there was a section where it asks "Are you a U.S citizen?", loan office assumed that I'm a citizen and checked the box.
I understand that I should tell them the truth, but wondering if that may increase my interest rates. Please share your experience or advice you may have for me.
H1B - Valid till 2011
EAD - Expires on Sept 08 (will be renewing it soon).

This happened with me too yesterday and I wondered why it happened. I did get an alert message asking for this 'Trojan Horse ' to be put in vault'. It happened exactly while I opened this link and went to this site. Someone should send email to the owner of this blog to alert him.
My computer crashed several times after that and I had to reinstall OS to get rid of this virus. I am now in the process of installing all softwares again. All my strong anti-virus defense systems failed to stop this virus.
I got identical symptoms yesterday.. Have Mcafee..but after clean-up and rebooting my laptop won't come up..
Only reason am even writing is from my guilt of getting upset and blaming my young daughter who used the laptop just after I checked IV site. Other than getting the laptop back and make amends with my daughter have to see impact of data loss.
Hope this really does not happen again...

Don't need to get excited. Nothing has changed.. Its again depend on you if you want to file and get it rejected and then be a part of law suit or if you just want to wait till Oct. But so far all these are rumers. and good roumers never become true..
But nothing wrong with being hopeful.
IS THIS APPLICABLE ONLY TO JULY 2 FILERS? FOR OTHERS, IS IT ADVISABLE TO FILE I485 NOW?

There were about 600,000 AOS applications including the July and August filers. So that number less 60,000...roughly about 540,000 applications still pending with USCIS....
applications pending before July/Aug applications, why did they make all CURRENT? I don't think this number is correct. They maybe stuck in FBI Namecheck.

One possible reason is that Americans just don't want people smarter than them to come here and have the high paying jobs, create companies and have success on their own country.
It's OK to have a bunch of illegal immigrants to do the dirty work.
Let's think as a modern slavery. They want to be in command, to be the boss. It's their nature. And they just don't accept skilled immigrants coming here and taking the top positions from them. They want people who just take orders - from Americans.

I love your optimism.
1) EB 2 will be current. You are saying 09 Apr. I disagree. It will be at least 2 years before EB2 can be current.
2) After EB2 is current EB3 ROW will be advanced. You are saying 09 Apr. Again I disagree. To make EB3 ROW current will take up to 2 years after EB2 is made current.
3) After that EB3 will move. You are saying 09 Apr. I couldn�t disagree more. Even after that EB3 will get visa not used by all others for that year.
Thanks for being optimistic about EB3 but EB3 movement is not going to happen anytime soon.
EB3 I and in general all EB applicants need a solution now.
Until this process becomes so painful for us that we either go back or do a mass movement to get some legislative relief there are no better days for us.
USCIS is trying to make EB2 all countries Current sometime during FY 2009. Of course "a few" 2004, 2005 cases will still be pending past Oct08 but hopefully not too many.
If EB1 and EB2 are shown as current soon, then the DOS can transfer the so-called "spillover" into EB3 ROW, then into EB3 IN & CH.
Based on available numbers, EB3 India / China will see rapid movement in dates April 09 Visa Bulletin onwards.
What will happen during 2009 in all likely hood is the following,
Almost all EB1 spillover will go to EB3. (~ 25k)
Some of EB1 and all of EB2 spillover will go to EB2 IN/CH (~ 10k to 15k)
In 2009, there will be no more Name Check delays - therefore expect rapid EB3 approvals after April 09.

While its a good idea to write to the president, Obama himself says he gets 40,000 letters per day, so its a rain drop in the ocean, no offense intended.
We need to do a coordinated strike by all members of the IV
1.Everyone send an email or calls the Congressman's office on a particular date
2.Call or email their senator on a particular date.
3.Write letters to popular TV talk show hosts on a particular week saying legal immigration is ignored in the immigration debate.
4.Send an email to the president on a particular date
5.Organize peaceful rallies in their respective cities on a particular date. This way no one has to pay for traveling in terms of flight tickets or pay for hotels
This has to be organized by PAPPU and TEAM as everyone respects their work and commitment.
PS Don't start of the donate campaign thread now, people will donate once they see action and not just words. Only #5 needs donation for flags, posters etc( even that content can be brought by folks themselves)

I have a question regarding use of EAD and living in Canada
My scenario
Currrently, I work on H1-B and am living in Canada (I cross US-Canada border everyday)
I am also a Canadian Citizen and used that to cross border everyday. So, far I never used the EAD
I recently got laid off, and planing on using my EAD for my next employment.
Questions
Once I start using the EAD, can I still live in Canada and work in US.
Is it necessary to live in US if one starts using EAD?

I can understand the anxiety. I have similar concerns but you cannot do much when your luck is involved. No matter the amount of scrutiny or verification you do on your part, if your luck is not good, there may be rejection. But they will not reject, they will issue NOID. You have time to appeal etc etc.
So chill out. Enjoy AC21 (the bill was passed to provide relief, not give more tension).
Do not worry too much about what can happen tomorrow. Enjoy today. Enjoy this month. Enjoy this year.
You are a MI Chapter member and you have done the right thing (supporting IV). Have faith in IV and continue to support IV. I am sure the days of seeing the freedom is near.

2. Section 201 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) sets an annual minimum family-sponsored preference limit of 226,000. The worldwide level for annual employment-based preference immigrants is at least 140,000. Section 202 prescribes that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual family-sponsored and employment-based preference limits, i.e., 25,620. The dependent area limit is set at 2%, or 7,320.
Thats in most of visa bulletins. It would require a change in law. Removing country quota is definitely not the news announcement. However, it is a very good change in the law that is required.
This is something that's doable without legislation. It would be done for employment based visas.
I've been reading the posts all day since yesterday. The most plausible "PERMANENT SOLUTION" has to be this. Please read the msg from IV
1. No change in July bulletin
2. No change in August bulletin
3. Well in that case it has to be this. It would be least controversial.

So I assume your PD need NOT be current to get FP notice?
As posted earlier in this thread "MOST" people will get FP notices. Sometimes minors do not
(from I485 instruction form)
5. Biometric services.
If you are between the ages of 14 and 79, you must be fingerprinted as part of the USCIS biometric services requirement. After you have filed this application, USCIS will notify you in writing of the time and location where you must go to be fingerprinted. If necessary, may also take your photograph and signature. Failure to appear to be fingerprinted or for other biometric services may result in a denial of your application.

Well, we can keep the org name as IV, and just start a campaign with a better name (with descriptive URLs) without worrying about the overhead of changing registrations, etc.
There are some good points here, "ImmigrationVoice" sounds very broad and comprehensive. Most American's have never even heard of employment based immigration. Furthermore, they don't see what the problem is with H1Bs - they figure, why are you complaining, you are here in the glorious USA, you should be thankfull and happy.
Anyway, some better branding on our part with campaigns can serve the same purpose as a fullblown name change. For example, the campaign could be called: "Competitive Immigration", and it's derivatives. "Innovation America", like CompeteAmerica which has a great name. Also, "Keep America on Top" or KAT, just spewing ideas that come to mind.... and emphasize the need to keep and attract bright minds to America - or else they will compete with us offshore.
So, let's think about hatching campaigns - like a Google AdWord Campaign, for example, and we'll name those campaigns much more purposely and descriptively. And we still get to keep the IV name as the sponsor. Just a thought.

Guys
I filed my EAD recently and here is what you should do,
Send the supporting documents to the address mentioned at the bottom of your receipt.
Documents I have sent,
1. Cover Letter
2. Receipt Notice for online EAD filing
3. your earlier EAD paper in which your EAD arrived ( if this is renewal)
4. Your 485 Receipt Notice
This should suffice.
P.S I have already done finger printing.
what to mention in the cover letter any template available?
