I guess it is high time we write USCIS in mass sending a copy to the President’s and Vice president’s office and ask them to take off that Free EADs only for post 30th July filers thing. We should also ask them to give 2 year APs. I am preparig a letter I'm going to send it out soon, also to Congresswoman Zoe Logfren's office...

Maybe it was the same woman - I went to DC embassy last year for passport renewal and the lady officer was rude and reckless. she started talking to me in hindi/hurdu, without any regard to whether or not i understood her language. I said stop - talk in english and she fumed at me! i told her i couldnt understand whatever language she was speaking but she refused to speak in english. i somehow gave my papers to her and she processed it. it was like dealing with some foreign embassy.

My company started the PERM process for me about 2.5 months ago. I contacted Fragomen about 1.5 months after approvals within the company and they said they are working on establishing min requirements for the position. I then contacted them 3 weeks after that day and they said they have established the requirement and will request the DOL for prevailing wage info (this was 2 weeks ago). After which they are going to start the recruitment process. So I'm not sure if the time line is okay or should I be chasing them more frequently? Please advise.

Now, the bad part ... the achilles heel of every high-skills amendment is the tethered H1B quota tricks. They are exempting everyone who has US masters or a non-US master in STEM from H1 quota, effectively making H1 quota = A LOT MORE.
The exact same radioactive provision for H1 quota is also in Lieberman-Hagel amendment 1242.
This will sink both of them unless either there is some inside deal going on that we dont know, or they strike out the H1 issue from this on the floor of the senate at the last minute and be content with H1 quota of 180,000.
I don't understand the risk you are mentioning. How unlimited H1B is going to cause problem in eliminating retrogression in EB catagories?

WHAT ARE THE NEXT STEPS--URGENT HELP!!!
My MTR was reconsidered--what a relief. Here is the response:
"Service motion to reopen or reconsider:
In the case at hand, the I-485 was denied because the underlying I-140 was revoked. However, the applicant is eligible for portability consideration under Ac21. Therefore, the applicant should have been notified of this eligibility before any final adverse action was taken on his I485. Pursuant to Part 103.5, Title 8, Code of Federal Regulations, the denied I-140 petition referenced above has been reopened/reconsidered."
My attorney says that what this means is that only my I140 that was revoked is now open and they have yet to make a decision on I485.
My question to fellow members of this forum:
1. Has any of you recived similar response to your MTR filing against wrongful I485 denial
2. Please note that my case is slightly peculiar in that the I140 was revoked and aproved labor certification was substitued--if some one was in similar situation, please respond with specifics?
My MTR was recieved my TSC on Feb 9th, i received receipt notice on Feb 16th and final approval was made on March 10th and the letter arrived on March 16th. I am glad and thankful that they understood the urgency of my situation. Now the hunt starts for NEXT STEPS?

Never mind.. your name suits you...
I am stressing on July 2 as the date due to the new bulletin... Anyway, dont bother replying..
Pay attention more to something when you read and ask your questions better (or at least elaborate before you reply with something like the above gem). And, since I suspect this is part of the problem look up "hypothetical". The correct term should have been "on or after July 2" not "after July 2". I didn't bother to sit there and make sure it was perfectly clear since I assumed readers would get it. Obviously, some are slow:D Peace

latest from CNN:
WASHINGTON (CNN) -- President Bush set out a new approach Wednesday in the wake of what he called a "thumping" for Republicans in the midterm elections.
Immigration and minimum wage measures are areas of common ground to discuss when he meets Democratic speaker-to-be Nancy Pelosi later this week, he told reporters at the White House.

I think somebody should take an initiative and start a new thread called "THE BASHING THREAD" where everybody could go, (occasionally or in some cases very frequently) whenever we feel dejected and let it on whoever is active there. You could also invite your prey into the bashing thread by saying politely "If you are brave meet me in the bashing thread in 5 minutes".
In case somebody starts a new thread (for eg:- something like this very thread about airline induced missery) and if you feel angry at that person for doing so, you could simply post in the thread "Hallo friend please visit the BASHING THREAD for my reply" instead of hurling personal abuses in every thread we could effectively confine our ego created frustrations/anger into one single thread.
Computer gurus could work on it and try to create some special effects also, like if I bash somebody the degree to which that person is hurt should be reflected by color change or some sort of visual reference.

Franklin, yes, Ombudsman report includes ALL I-485 numbers, plus ALL naturalizations. Among all of them EBs are a small number.
What I was trying to understnd by running the numbers, where does the "leacky bucket" go over time. Imagine EB category as a leacky bucket - new workers on H1Bs are getitng their documents done, that goes to adds, and approvals are being given out, that goes to substracts. If the expected new petititons being ready are more than 140K, the total bucket will grow. If it is less, it will shrink. What I am basically saying, it is between 10K and 20K less adds than deletes, so the backlog should shrink over time (not tomorrow, of course). And it will start shrinking from EB3 ROW, because that is where the unused numbers end up. By watching EB3 ROW number we should be able to tell how fast the pool is shrinking.
Also, in the concept of the leaky bucket, it becomes essential not to lose any numbers, this is why 10K lost numbers a year is unacceptable. Personally, I think advocating number recapture is a waste of time (better off advocating quota increases), but we should be vigilant about CIS not losing numbers going forward.
Efficiency of precessing, in my opinion, is not an issue at all, at least on the USCIS side. FBI is a different story, but even for them, it is rare that cases are stuck for more than two years. Retrogression is the real culpit - being stuck in retro for 5 years is not unusual, and this is a whole lot worse than namecheck. By the way, because naturalizations are also subject to namechecks, there is enough outrage out there that I think namecheck issue will be solved in the next year or so.

Thanks kshitijnt.......
After posting my question here I was searching on the net and came across This doc (Topic # 4) (http://www.murthy.com/mb_pdf/mar1904.pdf) which states that......
USCIS is seeking for the current immigration status and not the one we entered on.
The above referenced document is pretty old and I don't know how far it is reliable....any insights?

Based on the reply to this FOIA from Needhelp!, it seems that we have a bigger problem than transparency.
They have said that country of chargeability is not assigned until case is ready for approval. However, whether or not a case is ready for approval is determined by country of chargeability. If you have 500,000 pending cases and dont know how many cases for each country of chargeability, then the only way to respond to a visa bulletin is to go thru all 500,000 cases every month, take a peek in it, look at the PD, look at the country and see if it is up for approval. I dont think they are doing that.
Also, if priority date is something that is different for different countries, then cases for those countries have to be sorted by priority date in different silos, so that when the next bulletin comes, you know how many cases are eligible that month and which ones are the earliest cases (from PD perspective) for each country.
Their systems are not designed for country chargeability and priority date considerations. Although some of the information is in computer systems for reporting, publication, online status, automatic emails, etc, most of it is paper based. They claim that they process cases in order they (physically) receive them at each processing center.
Possibly, what they do is that they pick cases from shelves in sequence they stacked when they received them, check various docs such as medical, birth certificates, copie of I-140, passports, etc., and then, if all ok, check for country of chargeability. If that is India or China, then they look at the current bulletin dates. If case is within cutoff dates, proceed, else put it back, and take next file.
Therefore, they are correct in saying that chargeability is determined (means: looked at) when case is ready (meaning: it is next in line) for reviewing and adjudication.
Note that there is no physical file sorting based on chargeability/PD etc. Bulletins are just best guesses based on general progress in preceding months.

It's important to hold the meeting soon as IV core is planning major actions in the coming days. It's highly critical to get organized ASAP without any further delay. There'll be future meetings soon, if there are major actions planned in coming days. Those who miss the event (due to unavoidable circumstances) can attend future meetings which can be held in Farmington Hills, Novi, Flint etc. based on participation.
I have no issues driving to Novi, Farmington Hills, Novi or Lansing for that matter. When I can go all the way to DC, I can drive anywhere in MI to attend the meeting. The idea behind choosing Troy is that majority of participants need not travel long distance to accomodate one or two members. As of now majority is from Oakland County. If it turns out that majority is from Lansing, Flint, Canton... wherever, I'll drive down there.
There's no need to feel left out if any are from far off places (Lansing etc.) and can't drive down to Troy. You can participate by calling the cell numbers of the participants (if any of you PM me, I can give mine). However, members living nearby need to appear in person (cell-phone participation will not be entertained)
I live in Lansing. However, I am out of town on 10/20. Can we have another option if it is not too much hassle for all of you?
Another note- Troy will be very far for people in Lansing, Grand rapids, Kalamazoo, Battle Creek and Jackson. If a place like Farmington Hills or Novi is selected, it would be easier for people from the West side to come. Food for thought.

To pbojja, if you think being concerned about fraud desi companies and highlighting issues we can resolve easily (like English classes) is being disrespectful to one's fellow country men/women, then I must not have put forward my point clearly and I apologize for that. I never said that only English speaking skills were required to be a good professional. However, they are important tools for effective communication. Not every desi IT professional in the U.S. is a developer and is in roles which do require good English speaking skills. Anyway, I didn't mean to be disrespectful to anyone.
To sri1309, I never meant to digress from existing items on IV's agenda. All I am saying is that the backlog might get cleaned up a bit if we are able to assist in weeding out fraud cases.

Hi,
Can some suggest me what my wife (on valid H1B visa and AP) and daughter (us citizen) need to carry along with them. I am just curious to know if there is any change in documents required to carry with them. As of now, I am expecting them to carry their passports, PIO (daughter) and AP (for my wife) along with them. Do you suggest any thing more? Thanks in advange for all your suggestions.
If your wife's H1B is valid (unexpired), she is fine. If not, she need to take a flight which does not stop in (most) European countries which require Transit Visa.
If your wife is maintaining H1 status she can enter on H1, if she is using EAD, she need to enter using AP.
As for your daughter, she is fine with her US Passport and PIO
