I wonder whether proper first aid was given to the person.

My understanding was that once the 485 is filed, you go by RD. It doesn't matter what your PD is...
Does anyone know what the legislation is?
It DOES matter what your PD is. USCIS apparently does process FIFO according to your Receipt date - BUT ONLY IF YOUR PRIORITY DATE IS CURRENT will you get a visa number assigned (i.e. approval of said greencard).
I say guestimate, because in reality - its all speculation, because not even USCIS knows how many current applications they have. I'd have to say it is more like 1 million pending applications.
Don't assume that your PD being "old" helping at all. Let's play a quick hypothetical game...
Picking some numbers (and I think I'm being REALLY conservative here). Say there are 40k EB applicants from India a year.
Let's even say that 10K of them are EB3 (inc dependents). EB3 India PD as of April this year was May 2001.
So... a PD of 05 means that there are 40k EB3 India applicants in front of you. That alone, and not including EB1 and EB2 that come before EB3 category, is about 4 years quota of greencards.
I'm ROW, EB3, PD 2004 and AOS was filed June 2007 (I got stuck at BEC for sometime) - my situation is comparatively ROSY compared to other nationalities with a similar PD - but I anticipate that I'LL be lucky to wait 3 more years. You can bet if ROW with early 04 will take about that time, India will take YEARS longer.
And that is why I'm here, telling everyone to stand up and go to DC.
Without significant change, it will be a LONG LONG wait still, despite the security of AOS being filed. Can you wait 3 years longer for a decent promotion, or change of career? How about 5, 7 or 10 years? I can't - so I'm flying 3000 miles to be in DC :)

How bad it can be for those with approved I-140?
Earlier it was 140K times 7% = 9800 with everybody and now it is 90K times 10% = 9000 with most of them gone into new merit based system.
I still don't get it?
Good Point! this is actually more visas for same number of folks. Approved or soon-to-be-approved I-140 folks (like me) will get GC on time or faster and others with Maters degree will get GC in 1 or 2 years, and rest must have got admission to MS by now. and there will be some loophole to bank on which will be realized by our stupid Joe after a few years.

The election results are ultimately good for us and our prospects for immigration reform in the new year. Despite the best efforts of our friends on the other side of this issue, immigration did not become a major issue in this election. No candidate won or lost because of their position on immigration alone. This is partially due to the fact that the president has recently signed the bill to build a wall on the southern border. With such a clear, physical, image of immigration enforcement in place, no reasonable candidate could ask for a more strict immigration law.
The president has argues for CIR since his campaign in 2000. We know that our specific issues have strong support amongst both parties as evidenced by the fact that many or our requests were placed in the Senate immigration bill and passed without debate.
At this point, The President and Congress will want to pass any laws that they can agree on - particularly if both sides can claim it as a victory for their core values.
Nancy Pelosi is my representative here in San Francisco and I have spoken with her immigration field reps. a number of times. From my discussion, my impression was that immigration reform is something that Rep. Pelosi wants to work for. She is less aware of our specific issues than she should be. This is something that we need to work to change in the short term.
I'm feeling hopeful and energized after the election - here's hoping for a positive start in the new year!!

Mr.Bheemi,
Think twice before you post something on the forum, IV is a volunteer organization and core members are spending their valuable time to do something good for all of us.
If you think items need to be prioritized, share your thoughts, work with core team, post some analysis which makes sense, etc.
-SR
I am suprprised if IV is working towards abiltiy to file 485 and hard country limit...Just want to know how IV is working towards these 2 items...
If any of these two wont show out in coming bill,..then I would say goodbye to IV..because all other items in bill were there without IV;s interaction....
Can somebody calrify if these options will anyway include in this bill..by means of ammendements...

Simple math can easily prove most EB3s will NOT get the GCs even in 20 years......
Maintaining long lines is a way to discourage more people from trying or aspiring. Do you think government should be trying at these economic times to do something, not to have long lines, so that more people can try to come in?

Hi,
I am also in the same boat and waiting for the approval as I have recently took a new job with EAD. Yesterday I called USCIS to check what the options are if I don't get my EAD in 90 days. The customer service representative told me to take an info appointment further to get the Interim EAD. I have explained him that local offices are not giving Interim EADs and surprisingly he told me the following thing.
"You can continue the work with I765 receipt notice provided your employer is OK to continue and told me to provide the receipt notice to the employer as a proof of your application is in pending. As I am surely aware of the fact that in order to continue the work we must have an approved physical EAD. I was totally surprised and asked him "Are you sure?? can we continue the work with the receipt??", he replied "Yes and only if your employer agrees for that!"
I have no clue???? What to do, friends please share your thoughts on this.

Note that when you call Customer Support, they recognize Receive Date what you see in your online status as "...your case was received on...", which may be quite different than RD on your receipt. [/QUOTE]
Yes, I agree - my experience has been the same. The customer service representative insisted the receive date was whatever showed up in the online status, even though it was ~45 days after the receipt date printed on my receipt notice.
Btw, I have a question about background/namecheck. I remember reading someplace (official) that fingerprints are valid for a period of 15 months. Now imagine this - at the end of that period, you are fingerprinted again, and while the background/namecheck is in progress the "annual lottery" period opens up in Jul/Aug/Sept. Is that file skipped again since background check is pending?
Regardless of what laws USCIS vouches for, I believe this is what happened during last year "lottery season" in Aug/Sept. My background check was completed and entered in the system mid-Aug., while the USCIS ran out of visa numbers a week or two later.

A question to the people who used AC21 and on EAD:
I am on EAD and changed job (six months after the I-485 is submitted). The new employer - a well know tech company - insisted on sending the AC21 letter to USCIS, and I sent it. After sending the letters there were LUD's on I485 applications for me and wife and I assumed the letter reached the files. There was no activity after wards. Recently my wife went out of country and while coming back she went thru the AP parol process. The immigration officer asked her a few questions, one of them is where I am working. She mentioned my current company which made the officer to have a question mark on his face (the file he is looking at has my previous employer name). We were expecting this to happen and my wife quickly explained to him that my application was sponsored by so-and-so company (my previous employer) but later I changed jobs as per AC21. She even had a copy of AC21 rules with her. There was no problem but she was kept in waiting for another 30+ minutes until the immigration officer talked to 2 other officers. She got the impression that most of immigration people there are not really aware of AC21 and this made us think this could be a potential issue for those who used AC21.
Did anyone had any issues like this. We were lucky not having too much of a hassle but was thinking on how to handle these port of entry interviews if someone used AC21.
Thanks to IV for taking this up.
First of all, the letter is not a requirement when you switch jobs. It is a matter of personal preference on whether you want to send the letter. So there may not be any record in your file about the change.
I have travelled using AP. I was not specifically asked this question.
Now, all Immigration officers may not be aware of the AC21 law. It may be good to mention the law and wait for them to verify. From your example, looks like it is good for all the family members to know the AC21 law and maybe carry a document stating the law.
Its a good heads-up for some of us who have switched jobs to carry AC21 document.

Low Expectations for Obama’s Immigration Speech � The Washington Independent (http://washingtonindependent.com/90677/low-expectations-for-obamas-immigration-speech)
President Obama�s planned speech on immigration reform tomorrow has been lauded as indication of a renewed commitment to immigration reform, as have his meetings early this week with advocates and the Congressional Hispanic Caucus. So what will the president say? Unfortunately for reform advocates, not much that�s new: Obama is expected mostly to retread familiar ground on the importance of passing comprehensive immigration reform, rather than offering specific provisions he�d like to see in the law.
States aren�t waiting for reform � NPR reports that 45 states have introduced more than 1,000 bills and resolutions relating to immigrants so far this year � and polls indicate that most Americans support Arizona-style laws to curb illegal immigration. In theory, the issue should be resolved at a nationwide level to prevent harsh laws from driving illegal immigrants into other states. (There�s some concern that the Arizona law is already having that effect.) But no Republican senator has emerged to back a comprehensive bill, and with midterm elections in sight, rounding up votes for a controversial topic might be difficult before a potential lame-duck session

Interesting. This problem is also there. I e-filed for my self and my wife, so the payment went through credit card.
For son, I filed paper based EAD and check was in favor of USCIS, so I am very much confused about the alternatives you have mentioned - both don't include USCIS.
When I applied for EAD and AP (paper filed) my attorney advised to make checks payable to �U.S. Department of Homeland Security�.

If you really look at who is paying less and misusing the H1-B and L1 to manipulate the job market, its the big offshore companies who bring the less experienced folks from India/China and other asian countries into US. These biggies pay way too less (52 to 57K) to these folks than what the conultants who work for local consulting companies make.
They apply for 1000's of H1B's and L1's showing the positions in US but 60% of the folks works back in their offshore centers in China or India with H1B/L1 stamped on their passport. Question is, if they applied for H1B / L1 based on an existing position in US and gets approved, why is that folks are still working in India or China center? Doesn't that mean they faked the position?
When we consolidated the vendors and excluded all the local consulting companies to include only two of the big offshore companies, we have seen their consultants brought onsite leaving them after few months at our group to join local consulting companies for better pay.
To me, they manipulate the job market displace americans much more than the local consulting companies.
I truely hope CIS look deep into these manipulations and frauds as well.
I think the unlimited number of L1's has been a 'bane' for the employment market here as they 'definitely' replace the American jobs.Again this might fit in to the company's strategy and I m no one to complain about it. I am sure most of the other consultants on H1B in this country do make decent enough ( > 75k ) to qualify for the wage bracket that is being applied as a statistic here. The fact is though is that the employers do advertise lower salaries for the positions there by creating requirement though they might be actually paying the employees more than the advertised salary.

Yes, I agree. Everyone needs to register for the lobby day and show our strength in numbers and solidarity. I've registered for the event and this will be my first time attending it. Looking forward to it. Mahatma Gandhi once said -- be the change you want to see in this world. You too can change your situation, but only if you wanted to.
