It makes no difference whether they allow concurrent filing of 140/485 or not That's not always true. Without concurrent filing my son will not be able to file 485 because he will turn 21 at that time. And I'm pretty sure there are other cases when concurrent filing was very helpful.

Few years ago, USCIS did approved EB2 with 3 year degrees.
But now they are very strict. They are refering into EDGE (Electronic Database for Global Education) database, created by American Association of Collegiate Registars and Admissions Officers (AACRAO) which didn't equate 3 year Indian degree with US equivalent bachelors.
Check thier website AACRAO - American Association of Collegiate Registrars & Admissions Officers (http://www.aacrao.org)
Would 3 yrs bachelors and 3 yrs masters (MCA) with 10 + yrs of experience qualify for EB2? Is there anyway we can check in that EDGE database?

no slow, no fast..just follow the rules of the game..
Yes, we follow the rules of the game. Who says we shouldn't?
All I am saying is let's put practicality into matter. USCIS IOs are human who make mistakes. If you put the IOs into situation where they can potentially make mistakes, then they can potentially make an error, be it to your advantage or not.
We've seen some cases where IOs are committing mistakes, haven't you? And aren't we learning from that or not?
At the end of the day, it is your choice. I have chosen my path. You have chosen yours. We both follow the rules of the game. Let's see each other at the finish line.

What IO told is correct. Untill the case 140 is not approved, EB information is not updated and IOs at the infopass has limited access.
If the 140 is approved, IOs at infopass can see this, otherwise they cant.

Guys,
We saw the September bulletin..
We knew what to expect..
But we were all a little hopeful to see some miracle happen.
And we were doing this every month.
NOW comes the count down we all were waiting for the last few months. Oct bulletin. In that, most of us are expecting some good news.. But what if it moves 3 months forward.. What if it moves 2 years forward. Then it will stop there for next 1 year, while we check every month.. Then it moves back.. Do we want this..
Its not going to make much difference to most of us here.
THIS IS THE TIME TO ACT NOW. We must all do some campaign may be flowers, may be cards, or I donno.
I have written today to all the six members or reps to help us, but a bunch of mails will not help. JUst imagine if all the people in waiting sent the letters. Imagine 100,000 mails going to each of them, or 100,000 flower bouquets going to all.
Please please, lets act now. These small fixes cannot help us. If they want to put any quota limit, that should be at the main entry level whatever the non-immigrant category. Not at the other point when people start applying for GCs and suffocate here. We dont deserve this.
Please Lets act now., ONce again.. We did it in the past and it helped..
We need to do it again... Together we can do it. Together ONLY we can do it..
EB2 guys and others who got approved: . Please dont forget what you went thru. Please put more efforts and help all in case you can .

If your kids have SSN then you will probably get around 1200, from my guess. I am sure you will not get for your spouse, for lack of SSN.
Every one needs to have SSN to get the stimulas. Otherwise its going to Gandhi's Account.

Can we do something about this.
Maybe we can go to a federal court saying it is discriminatory and get a ruling to that effect. This would stop "any" state from coming up with such legislation.
Has anyone contacted the ACLU of Texas on this? This is unrelated but they have been active on such fronts:

Medical exam is considered part of "intial evidence" for the I485. If your friend files without the medical report, his application will be rejected without an RFE.
Hmmm...we realized that after reading immigration-law.com. Earlier USCIS was lenient and they used to issue RFE but it seems that since so many application will be filed in coming months, they are going to be strict and will deny the application without issuing RFE.
Thanks for bringing out attention to it.

SLowhand, You are absolutely right. We can understand if USCIS does not send anything to employee for I-140, but for I-485, which really is an application from the employee, it is really not legal for the attorneys to dance on employers' tunes and provide our paperwork to them and then blackmailing us together.
How can we take it up with USCIS through IV?
You yourself willingly knowingly signed G28 form and gave all the power to your attorney. USCIS is not suppose to be sending you anything. And IV has nothing to do with it.
You have to realize, that your attorney/employer have to be willing to support your GC honestly, since you might need them in case of RFEs, etc. If they are playing games, then invoke AC21 and leave them.
You can sign G28 with another attorney, and your new attorney will request your case from your previous attorney. Your previous attorney will have to be REQUIRED to send ALL your papers (including that RN).
You can apply for EAD with just having receipt number, you can find out it by just calling USCIS. So I don't see any reason to freak out.

Mostly what is you said I feel is correct...though the analysis that a specific service center is slow or fast might not. These opinions are practically like a pendulum! That said if you look at recent data on EB2-I approvals you would see there are more approvals at NSC.
Secondy, even if there are more applications submitted to a NSC or TSC (after the geographic distribution of I-485 filing since Jul 30, 2007). USCIS always redistributes them among the centers to even out the workload depending on the capacity of each center.
this is mainly due to July VISA Bulletin fiasco and thousands were allowed to apply for their I-485, due to USCIS/DOL July 2007 VB.
one moe reason lots of Citizenship petitions were also filed in July 2007 to take advantage of old fees structure.
All countries of chargeability and employment categories were made current, since Dol was frustrated with USCIS's slow processing rate for I-485 and had Dol not made the VB current USCIS would have wasted few thousand VISA numbers as usual.
Silverlining is that we were all given freedom of using EAD and get new jobs or promotions using the AC-21 provisions...but the long term side effect is the slow moment we are seeing for the processing dates.
NSC is slow since lots of high tech H1-B employers are from CA and WA states and they applied truck load of I-485 versus the folks in Texas Service centre.
We are all hoping that once USCIS is out of this naturalization processing pressure before the elections, they would start processing the July-aug 2007 I-485 petitions.

Gurus,
July filer...
Here is my current situation
1. Entered US on H4. H4 is stamped on the passport until 2010.
2. Applied for EAD (July filer) and current using EAD for work
3. Will go to India this year end and planning to come back on the stamped H4.
Here are my questions
1. When I entered on H4, on the POE, the officer would have marked my status as H4. Now, I have used EAD...so currently I am on AOS pending status. How do they know this? Is this based on the I-9 that I have filled for the employer? But I9 form is retained by the employer unless requested by USCIS, so how does USCIS know that I am on EAD (AOS)?
2. When I go to India, I will surrender the I-94 that I received when I entered on H4. So when they tally their records, will they treat me like H4 leaving US or EAD (AOS) leaving US?
3. When I reenter US on H4, again my status will change to H4 right?
4. At this time I assume that the EAD card that I have is still valid (Not invalidated because I entered on H4 and not on EAD/AP. So, If I have to start working again, Do I need to fill the I9 form again for the same employer.
5. If I do not fill the I9 form, then how will USCIS know that I am working on EAD...which means that my status is AOS pending?
6. In my case, the primary applicant chooses to remain on H1. So if our I485 gets denied does this mean that I am out of status because I am using EAD or does it mean that I am fine because I entered on H4 and that is what they have in their record.
7. If I am out of status, can I file for a change of status to H4 or an extension to the previous H4 from US itself so that I continue to be in status�or do I have to leave and enter the country again?
Thanks in advance for your replies

If you get H1 transfer with sponsorship for GC, you can port your old PD to the new I-140 petition. Better to apply for 3-year extension now itself, if you think there will be layoffs. This gives you sufficient time to apply for perm LC/I-140.

This thread is getting lost.. Lets keep this thread on top.
When you send this message please make sure you put your complete name, address, email and phone number at the bottom.. If you don't how come somebody can get in touch with us...
I agree. This is one of the easiest things we can do right now. Yes, I mentioned by name, address (along with apartment number), phone number. I did not mention my email address, as it is visible in the "from" field of the email.
However, I was thinking about this approach later. I thought it would be MUCH more effective if we could get others to write to the media/ congressmen/ senators etc... including people who already have GCs and citizenships. The more people convey their resentment to this DOS/ USCIS decision, the more effective it is.
Also, we should preferably also write letters... not just emails.
Emails is a somewhat frowned upon medium, as it is easy to abuse. Also, it is easier to simply delete an email thinking of it as spam... that is, if the email is not already blocked/classified as "spam" by the recepient's email software. (e.g. My yahoo mailbox gets tens of spam emails everyday and they are moved automatically to the spam folder.) On the other hand, it is not equally easy to ignore 1000 "letters" on the subject (preferably signed personally, but even otherwise).
But how can we get others to write letters for us?
Obviously no one will do that... but what if, I "write up" an appeal into a word doc, and email it to my friends, relatives, and colleagues in the USA who are either in the same boat (but not part of IV), or already hold GCs, or are citizens. I would explain our situation very briefly in the email... maybe with 5 bullet points. I would request that if they think what happened is wrong, the they may please write their full name & address + phone num in the space provided in the word doc, and send the document back to me by email. I print these documents and package them up and "post" (snail mail) them to the congressmen/senators and the media.
I am not suggesting I would stop writing "emails to media contacts" (or calling up/ meeting our senators). This will be in addition to that effort.
Let me know if you guys think this approach is useful... and please... if you disagree... just take it easy... don't blast me for just sharing my thoughts.
Thanks!

There has been years if not decades of abuse of US visa by most IT consulting/services companies. Eventually it reached epidemic proportions and eventually we are seeing a massive crackdown.

IV has been doing a great job, we should all be proud of being a part of it.
I came across this post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=10316).
I think we should keep fighting till our goal is met. Can IV core team shed some light whether recapturing the unused visa numbers is ever possible ? Even if there is slightest change, we should NOT GIVE UP and work towards it. I've read that USCIS have so far wasted upto 600,000 EB visa numbers.
Now we are seeing some light at the end of the tunnel for multi year EAD or EAD validity during the period of AOS(I-485). Should we roll up our sleeves and work for the recapture of unused visa numbers ? How to make this happen, Please share your thoughts and ideas.
LETS NOT STOP UNTIL WE GET WHAT WE DESERVE!

No harm in calling USCIS. Why do u need to ask that in this forum?
It is their customer service no.. go ahead..call them. they will tell you if they can give any additional info or not
