You won't have to wait too long long to find out.
So there is a possibility that they will issue August Bulletin with limited date movement and act like July bulletin events never happened? Man, and we keep thinking they cannot sink any lower.

I filed my EAD at Texas office as i live in PA
Paper Copy reached on 04/08/10
Checks cleared on 04/15/10
text message with receipt number on 04/16/10
Soft LUD with date change on case status on 04/20/10
What's surprising is the receipt was issued out of Nebraska Service Center even though i filed at Texas lock-box as i currently live in PA.
My I-485 was submitted at Nebraska. Maybe that could be the reason.

I just called them now. I was lucky enough to talk to the operator. She said I should be getting it in a week. I guess they have a back log. She couldn't tell me anything else. BTW my application was received on Sep 11th. Money order was cashed on Sep 23rd. Still in process not shipped yet. I called 713-626-2148 and pressed 1 then 9 and when it asked for voice mail or operator I pressed 0 for operator. I kept pressing 0 until someone answered.

reminder, please call your local Senators, Congress men/women and inform them about your problems with the EB backlog. Also request them to support/sponsor legislative change for our cause in lame duck that lasts until end of 2010. Note who the outgoing law makers are:
1. Increase in annual Visa numbers for EB2, EB3 and removal of per-country limit
2. recapture of unused Visas from previous years
3. Reduction in EB I-485 wait time from the current 5-10+ years with legislative changes
relevant Bills currently in sub-commitee pending queue S.1085 for Visa recapture

I'm from ATL and the latest i could get an infopass at ATL local office is on August 12th. My EAD expires Aug 22nd. I will have to ask him what to . Does anbody know if there is an interim EAD and if so, will they give it immediately or is there a "process" for that also.
Hi
Could someone please help me? I was trying to schedule an InfoPass appointment, ontheir website,
I clicked on
You need Service on a case that has already been filed
Then next page clicked on
EAD inquiry appointment - If your I-765 employment authorization application has been pending for more than 90 days.
Give me following message:
At this time, there are no information appointments available for the office in your area. Please try back again later.
Return to USCIS On-Line
I was wondering how you were able to schedule an appointment? I would appreciate if you could help me in this.

GCCovet

Thanx. But I'm sure USCIS dozn't work based on ur gut feeling.
Do not get too excited. If we are still in current in the Sep 2010 bulletin, then some reason for hope.
As of now, I only expect < 5% people to get approved this month.
If we are still current for Sep 2010 bulletin, then expect around 35 % to get through.
If we still stay current until the end of the year, expect ~ 80 % to get through.
How did I get the numbers ? My gut feeling.

Feels great to have your support. We can definately use your help on a lot of Team IV initiatives. I have a few things sketched out for you already :D
You can walk with us for 2 miles or we can find a 5k (5k = 3.1 miles) for you
I know , I can not walk 10 miles (Army 10 miles, Washington DC)- forget running.:) Can I still be part of this?
I think, apart from running and walking 10 miles I am able to involve myself doing other expected activities. In my life time I have not walked 10 miles:)..Man, you guys are tough.
Note: I may be able to walk 2 miles.

right. in the AILA call also they cautioned that retrogression will become worse (dates moving back!) once USCIS starts processing all those July/August filers...
NOT TRUE.
It depends on how many applications were filed that had priority dates before the Retrogressed Date (22 APR 01, 01 AUG 02, Etc).
If there were no big volume of applications before this date, then the USCIS is out of work as it relates to the I-485 applications processing. Thats when they move the date forward to allow more applications with later priority dates come to the processing desk.
My two cents.

Well it's obvious that it all boils down to what you bring to the table.
But that is with any company, it you're not providing revenue to the company you will get fired.
But at least IBM is not hiring H1B's without having a project in which to put people. I doubt IBM makes people like on their resume, I mean not minor lies, blantant lies like making a Fresh grad show 5 years of experience.
Several Indian consulting firms offered me this.
Did you ever hear name called Enron , Anderson consulting and Computer Associates ? Try to do a google search on Enron and Anderson consulting :D

:(:(I need some help. I am a non substanially comparable position candidate and I have been aduited. The CO mentioned that my job seems similar and want me to provide more information on my job duties so my manager and I worked together to ensure that my jobs were different to meet the requirements and I resubmitted my case. Does anyone know what the DOLs view on substainally comparable position candidates? Am I likely to get denied? I am in the a position that is not the typical IT role but working with HR and wanted to know what the DOL's response might be and if i am likely to get denied. Also, I am a fragormen client who is recently being audited so I'm nervous. Can you anyone help me??!?!?!

I am wondering if someone could please clarfiy whether the beneficiary can pay the fee for the H1 B petition and the fee for the lawyer involved in filing the petition.
It will be very helpful if you could please cite an official USCIS document.

Here is the most up-to-date list of people who have reported their issues with the audit delays:
http://www.mediafire.com/?a3znd69ymyz
I think its about time that we start brain storming the plan of action, I did like the idea of rally but that had its own Pros and Cons. We need more ideas coming from the people...
I was thinking that we could draft a letter of request to DoL and have all the members sign on it to reflect the massiveness of the issue that Management needs to know - this is becoming a major issue in the EB immigration process. We could then write up a follow-up article for newspaper or even provide a copy of that signed letter to them. Any input to this?
I have requested IV Admins to provide some input as well, but if you have any ideas please speak up!
Here is what one of the IV administrators communicated to me:
"In order for anything to be successful, it is important that we get as many people affected involved. Based on the number of people who wish to take part in solving the issue we can initiate a campaign.
Pls let everyone know that IV can help them. We need everyone affected willing to help themselves by coming out and actively participating in a campaign."
So please, dont disperse or lose hope, we need to gather more people to support the campaign, once started.
Admins: I am unable to add the files as an attachment, even after making sure that the file size is under the limit. Am I missing something?

if you pay $90 extra, they will process it the same day. you can add $20 extra to get it overnight if you dont want to wait in the consulate. They are very friendly. I got it same day shipped out. All that you need is to pay more money (ofcourse this money goes to govt of india, not to the employees work there :) )

I totally second that. Saralayar has raised a very valid issue and its up to IV and core memebers to take it or not. Getting GC should not be the end of the story, we ought to think beyond that. had this GC process been consistant and FIFO, there would not have been any problem with the fact "citizenship after 5 years of GC". Now this GC thing is so screwed up, we might want to include citizen ship issue as well but definitely, at the very lowest priority.
I am happy that many of our high skilled community has understood my idea and supporting this thread. Yes definitely Core IV needs to look into this. You can also include your valid points so that core IV team can consolidate and research on this.

If I do not see nervousness in the markets then I think tomorrow I am going to buy Oracle, Wal-Mart, Devon and may be Cisco. Expected return by BOB's inauguration 10%.
For Novices - do not buy SMALL Cap and Do not buy stocks < $5 (as suggested by Chintu25)

I agree with all your options, but have to add one one more option.
Option 4: Get DOS to do the spill over allocation on a quarterly basis.
Lets not get sidetracked by Mr Skillz with a Z.
Options for EB3I relief:
Option 1: CIR - This is not in the picture right now. Nobody knows when this is going to happen and I think we should not even bother to look upon this as a short term measure.
Option 2:Recapture of visas - Again this has to go through the legislative process. With the current political climate, it is going to take a tough task to get this one in as well.
Option 3:Re-intepreting and changing the spill over rule: This can be done without any legislative changes and USCIS can be asked to look on this if we can really force them to.
Steps to execute Option 3:
* Collect and consolidate all the data in a spreadsheet from the latest 485 inventory to the yearly reports of adjudicated cases
* Create a what if analysis for the next 3-5 years for EB2 I and EB3 I
* Create analysis to show what will happen with the old rule and changed interpretation of spill over
* Create a nice presentation
* Contact Senators, congressmen, USCIS and walk them through our presentation
Hopefully that can change their mind or atleast we gave our best shot.
Add your thoughts and inputs and let us create a plan on executing this, if folks want to do it.
