How much longer would we have to wait?
Lawyer sent inquiry to DOL and they replied with a non responsive email saying the case status was Processing and they would be reviewed in a FIFO order. It does not seem to be a FIFO processing. People have filed at the beggining of the year and have been approved already. Also some audits approval from replies made on nov/dec 07.
What's going on?

Possibly not. But it has to reach USCIS and I was thinking of getting through the liason process of the senators / congressmen.
If IV can take up this effort, then there is a channel that we can get through. But I dont think it is going to happen, because of the infights. Even if USCIS does'nt react, we can use this process to challenge the intrepretation and show them the mess that they have created. May be that will help
Sorry, i'm just trying to understand the situation here, please no flames.
If this is an admin area fix and USCIS is the main one whom we may need to convince, do we still need to contact/involve politicians in this.
Coming elections, and two different parties, this may give a different color to the whole problem, than solving the problem.

If the CIR bill passed then we will see huge forward movement else nothing discussing for EB3.
CIR is not going to help EB community unless a miracle happens. It is for illegals only just like last time. Worse comes to worse it is going to put more hurdles for H1b and EB folks.
I think we are better off without CIR.
In any case there is no hope for CIR . A number of senator and congressmen are opposed to it and the wide public also doesn't support it .

Congrats to all the lucky ones. Enjoy the green freedom. Wish you all the best for your bright future and long life
Best Wishes to all the hopefuls.
I am in waiting game. Hoping against hope to go green.
BTW, today I treid calling USCIS. First the 1st level representative spoke and she straightway created a SR for me and my daughter. Once she finished that part Politely I asked her to transfer to an IO. Luckily without any wait call got connected to an IO. Had very brief conversation with him. He was fixated on my EAD being valid till August 2010, so according to him I don't have to worry about. But I persisted with my line of questions like current status, whether it is pre-adjudicated?, whether all clearances are done etc. Only thing he replied was "Your Case is in REVIEW". I asked him what does review means. His answer was review means review. Our conversation stopped there.
What do you guys think on "Your case is under review"?

INS needs money, best strategy stop all 485 for couple of months, let them back log, we will raise the fees exhorbitantly across board to 485/EAD/AP etc, then make everything current, ecpecially INDIA/CHINA that's where the money flow is from, but lets not make it obvious and dubious, we will move forward the dates for couple of years for June and make it current for July (remember July1 is the date new fees kick in), and then make sure everbody files and after 2 months, we will retrogress back to 3 or 4 years back to where we started so that conservative politicians are happy, that way we will have everbody in the INS Casino, no going out, keep renewing by paying more and more fees, INS haapy, I-485 applicants are in make belive happiness as spouces and children get EAD"

I am reading a lot of information posted on this form thanks a lot to every one.
But I am still not clear if I can apply in EB2 (PERM) as the job requirement says
Minimum of 5 years programming experience
But is really important to SAY THAT’S MASTERS DEGREE PREFERRED,
Because I have Masters in computer science but the job requirement does not need it.
To apply in EB2? Or just BS+5 years of experience is good enough
Form information posted I deduce that BS= 2years of experience
I have 5 years of experience so total of 7 years (SVP of 8) as per
http://online.onetcenter.org/help/online/svp.
Guru’s Please Advise!!
P.S : I was in EB2 before had to walk away from it as I had change jobs, Perm approved, I 140 in process and I-485 not filed

that is good news thanks !!! so the IO did talk to you even though 1 month has not yet passed ? I called yesterday and the systems were down ..but she said that if 1 month has passed and I have not recd the card then she will open a service request or something ..did the IO tell you that too ?
(I know this is a tracker only ..but I guess it is more helpful if we discuss posts like above too ..my advice to those on EAD's (and not H-1) ..file as early as possible ..This is a messy situation which can lead to bigger problems as drivers license cannot be renewed in many states without EAD !!)
I talked with customer service and they said that I have to call after 30 days. But I insisted asking "lets say i call after 30 days and I have not recieved my EAD and my current EAD is expiring and I cannot work after that. I asked for Evidence..I told her I received receipt notices , fingerprint notices in 5 days then how could you expect me to beleive that EAD is in mail for 25 days..I asked for options in this scenario which i know she could not answer and finally she transfered to Level 2 which is IO. he looked in some software or something I do not know but he said its not printed yet but in queue, both mine and my wife EAD's.

Yes you are absolutely true..... We must have the luck factor also...
As in my case, my PD, RD, ND and BD (BD aka Birth Day also :) ) all are well with in the current processing time frame and still waiting for the mercy of Lord USCIS.
I am praying for those unlucky folks like me, who are still waiting in the queue, to get approvals before the available visas get exhaust.
B+ve
Yes, I just saw your profile. Your ND is early August, and PD is also quite high. You should have got approval now. Wish you very best. I hope you didn't make any job changes, or anything which flags a re-review.
BTW, I was in the same situation last year. When I saw so many of 2005 and 2006 PDs getting GC's I thought I was among the very few left out, but now I notice that there were so many of them. I got the magic emails in Dec 08 when they were looking at my AP renewal. Seems for some reason that triggered it. Perhaps GC was approved in Aug/Sep 08 but no one entered it in the system until Dec 08.

logiclife, i like this one "And now suddenly USCIS is acting like an undocumented worker ignoring the laws and regulations" :) :)
So basically USCIS is in violation of regula
tion for not accepting 485 petitions for EB3-other worker category even though those petitions are current as per June Bulletin issued in May.
I hope USCIS atleast follows the regulations and laws. Coz we just finished with an 18 month debate in the Senate today on law-abiding done by immigrants. And now suddenly USCIS is acting like an undocumented worker ignoring the laws and regulations.

Hi IV members!
I know many of us have been toying with ideas to increase membership. I wanted to start a separate thread just to highlight the following idea - Every member bring one additional member to IV.
Specifically, these are the bullet points I suggest:
1. By December 31, each of you bring one member to IV.
If you really think about it, it is not a difficult task. Every one of us knows atleast one person stuck in GC process, that is talking conservatively. It takes less than 15 minutes to call one person and explain IVs efforts and request his/her support.
2. By January 15, each of us take responsibility to get the member we brought to IV to contribute to the cause. And I am not suggesting any particular amount.
3. Each of take responsibility in having them update their information on IV website, so that when the need arises, they can be contacted (for sending webfaxes etc. like last week).
Also, whenever you bring someone to IV, please post on this thread (it will encourage others). I feel this approach will work, if we keep this thread alive, and try to stick to the time deadline (deadlines might not have worked before, because they were too long term).
Also, please keep this thread on track, without any other discussions.
So IV'ers, lets add ONE member, and get ONE contribution!!!!
Thank you.
Neelu

Thank you so much for bringing forth this thought and initiative!
This is exactly the kind of drive we seek from most members. It is vital for us to increase our membership levels to sustain our efforts. The more we are the stonger our voice will be.

Pls post this information on other websites and forums as well so that people can start calling
We do not enough people calling as per the poll above
Hi Pappu and Administrators:
I am not sure if you still need people call to the CHC. I think you need to make Hispanic call a lot. I will be glad to transmit this information but I am not sure if this bill already passes yesterday. You probably know the philosophy about why they do not want support this bill but if they realized that besides non legal residents, there are a lot of Hispanic people looking for GC throug H1Bs, and they are suffering as many of us, they can change their minds......You should contact other members of IV who are Hispanics and make them to spread the voice.....Let me know if we need more calls.......

No. It was changed in the middle of 2008. The DOS consulted with the Congress on this and came to the conclusion that there should be horizontal spillover before vertical. I don't want to go into whether this was right or wrong, fair or not. This is the current policy.
You can see ample evidence in the annual visa allocation once you compare 2005/2006/2007/2008 allocations. EB3-ROW and EB3-ICMP benefited till 2007 because of vertical spillover and EB2-I & EB2-C have been the beneficiaries of the horizontal spillover policy since 2008.
It is not the policy of DOS or USCIS to follow horizontal or vertical spill over. It is law. Both federal agencies (DOS and USCIS) has to obey the law by strictly following what INA section 201, 202 and 203 says, irrespective of how the law is unfair to any catagory. The law is very clear about spillover; it is horizontal. One has to read word by word in the law book to understand how the allocation of EB visas are made.
If DOS properly followed the INA as amended by AC21 act in 2000, EB2-I never retrogressed since year 2005. EB2 I might have been always “current”. EB3 including ROW might have been much worst situation than now. EB3-IN would have beeen (always) be in disaster state since 2001. Though it is unfair to (EB3) many, this is what the law. Here is the historical events what happened in EB catagories.
In later part of 1990s EB categories were retrogressed for IN, CH by about 2 years. When AC21 law passed in 2000, it did two very important things. One recapture of about 216,000 EB visas and it removed country quota in each EB category if excess visas available, in that category. That means it enforced horizontal spill over. In simple example, consider Mexico which is most subscribing country. Lets assume in a fiscal year, 40,000 Mexican are eligible for EB2 visa(and no other citizens in EB2), and millions of Mexican eligible for EB3 and in family based categories, still DOS should issue 40,000 (100% not 7%) EB2 visa to Mexicans irrespective of how much demand in other categories. Because of tons of backlogs in 485 (between 2000 and 2004), particularly in EB3, DOS issued about 185000 (out of 216000) to EB3. That’s why EB3 was current between 2000 and 2004. They simply ignored the EB2 demand by India and retrogressed in 2005, though total demand for EB2 less than the available pool of recaptured visas. Since the year 2007, they realized the mistake and now (since 2007) they are following correctly (though may not fair to EB3) the law. If they follow correctly the law, EB2-IN, Ch will become current soon. Till all EB2 become current, EB3 never see any spill over. Till EB3 –ROW become current, EB3 IN will not see any spill over. Till that point EB3-In will get only 2800 (7% od 40,000) EB3 visas per year.
EB3 folks should thank to DOS for misallocation of EB visas between 2000 and 2006, particularly between 2004 and 2006. Now they are exactly following the law book. As title of this thred eays IV help or heavy lobbying is need to change the law to bring back vertical spillover, to ease the EB3-IN clog. They need to work hard.

$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$GOOD MORNING GC$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted�,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")
This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
What can you do to participate?
1) Vote on the poll/survey created by Pappu.
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum14-members-forum/1599353-want-to-file-485-when-pd-is-not-current-gather-here.html
Then please send an email to ivcoordinator@gmail.com (starsun) with subject - "I485 filing without current PD - Impacted Member". Include your a) IV username b) Email address c) Phone #, d) State of Residence e) Priority Date - so that grassroot efforts can be coordinated
2) Print out below Flier and circulate at all asian/indian malls/groceries/theaters. Forward the flier to your friends/co-workers and ask them to do the same.
I485 Filing Initiative Flier (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/images/a/a8/Flier_I485_latest2.pdf)
3) Volunteers have created a facebook community and an Immigration Voice WIKI page to spread the message about this initiative. Please circulate these links among your friends/co-workers who will be helped.
Please "Share" and "Link" and "send to friend" the facebook community via your Facebook account. Also include these two links when you post on the IV forum.

The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

Makes sense now, I assume your certificate is issued in a hospital. To enter the details in to the birth registration file, parents usually have to wait till they decide on the name and need to register the birth.
My son was named after we got a birth certificate from Mumbai Corporation with "Baby Boy" appearing as the name. After naming him and when he was ready for school, we went to the local Corporation office (Chembur, Mumbai) and had to fill some form for corrections. And they corrected their registers/our originals, with an officer's green ink signature nearby the correction and adding no of corrections - 1 in the certificate. That was acceptable to USCIS. I do not remember if it was done in the same day or I had to go after few days again. This was a routine procedure there.

Problem being that last page of that thread keeps refreshing itself and everytime i scroll down to the bottom of the page it keeps going back to the top. Sounds like some script is running in the background.

Hi,
The online case status says: The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.
Me and my wife were called for interview at Newark, NJ office after we got the Notice for case transfer in Oct. 2009.
I think the notices we received at home did mention the Newark, NJ office, don't remember for sure.
I have an INFOPASS appointment this friday, 27th May to find out why is it taking time for my case to be approved.
Hopefully, there will be no problem with my case.
Thank you for your reply.
Filling out the info in your profile will help all of us on the forum. Good luck with your INFOPASS appointment.
