I am assuming you guys saw this:
http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/USCISUpdate(biometricchanges)(17Feb08).pdf
USCIS will consolidate FPs for 485 and EADs. So if we don't receive biometrics for 485, hopefully we will get one for EAD renewal which will also serve the purpose for 485 processing.
Note: This only applies to concurrent filers of 485 and EAD.

psaxena, you are right on money. I am waiting to see a reply from gvenkat and TeddyKoochu.
I doubt they will respond though.
The only way out is to either go back or get together in a group and help IV to move ahead..
THATS THE ONLY , REST EVERY SUGGESTION WITHOUT THIS IS BULLSHIT.
QUOTE=TeddyKoochu;874115]I fully agree with this suggestion. This will greatly alleviate the suffering of the population who missed Jul 07 irrespective of EB2/EB3. The only way we can get the interim benefits (EAD/AP) is that the date crosses our PD's again which in the pre-adjudicated world is going to take a while. Any thoughts suggestions welcome.[/QUOTE]

If Microsoft with all the money and power can't get visa increase, it's naive to assume that we can do that in one shot. Let's just fry the small fish first.
Well said actually!
From the past couple of years and efforts it is VERY clear that any kind of Quota Increase is a BIG no no with the Anti-immigrants. This now divides the IV users into 3 groups
1) This group has already applied for the I-485 a Long time ago but has not seen their GC in the mail yet.
2) This group has not been able to file for I-485 coz of retrogression.
3) This group is stuck in Labour Certification stage and cant do anything about it.
How about for starters if we try and alleviate the pain of people in groups 2 and 3, i.e. ask for people to be able to apply for stage 3 (and ead etc) without the PD mess. For the labour people we ask for a similar benefit. As for group one, well i know that you guys do not benefit under this, but consider this, you are already in a much better situation than the rest of 2 groups. I know you have to go for fingerprinting etc and renew the EAD every year, but consider this: People stuck in LC and stage 2 have to spend much more on renewing H1/H4s coz of lawyer fees. Maybe, if we reduced our demands to asking for 3 things
a) Filing for stage 3 regardless of PD
b) Relief for people in the LC mess
c) Fingerprinting one person just Once (i mean fingerprints dont change do they?)
This might go under the radar as no quota increase is being asked for. I know this point has been discussed ad-infinitum before and we concluded that no more band-aids for the immigration process, let us get a permanent solution. Well permanent solutions take their time, especially with a Much more powerful lobby opposing those changes. For all we know this permanent solution may NEVER go through. Lets face the facts here:
1) The big corps are pushing ONLY for H1B increase.
2) Anti-immigrants are opposed to ANY kind of increase in numbers.
3) Currently the political climate is such that it is either, deal with legals AND illegals or nothing at all.
4) Currently FAR bigger problems stand in front of the lawmakers such as the war, stem cell, abortion etc etc etc.
5) Currently the average American is OPPOSED to even legal immigrants for fear of losing their jobs to them.
In light of all this, does it make sense to go for a Comprehensive Permanent solution or does it make sense to ask for smaller tid-bits and treat the other costs we incur as "costs of doing business"? I mean atleast if the husband and wife Both have H1bs and jobs, you will still be making a ton of money. U use things like approved I-140s to switch jobs with 3 year extensions or u use the EADs. Let us seriously think about this solution.

Why do you think FIFO is scientifically impossible? If you beleive that weather forecast is reliable like most of the Americans do, making the FIFO system work more effeciently without wasting even a single visa is possible.
It is not necessary to issue the visa if the case is still pending for some reason, but if it has cleared all it has a visa number ready to complete the case. If all the visa numbers are allocated ( not necessarily issued) each year there will be no waste. There is no need to go back and recapture visa numbers because all visa numbers are already allocated. Obove all these reasons, those people with PD's as old as 1999 coming out from the BEC need not face another nightmare like first waiting for the I485 to become current before even he can file and then wait in the end of the queue for new applicants to move forward before having his case handled.
This GC system broke because the system was revamped without taking into account the whole process.
what are u comparing man. Weather forecast involves super computers. USCIS cannot even tell properly how many applications are delayed across what category. 2 months have passed priority dates have not moved at all. why ? USCIS is still trying to arrange all the 485s in ascending order of PDs. But every day FBI clears some amount of name checks. No one can predict what PDs those ones have. So just when USCIS thinks it has reordered everything FBI dumps some more. Now USCIS has to again reorder.

EB3-India with PD 2003 and before - Most will be out by December 2008 -
Perhaps 10% may still rot in NC further.
EB3-India with PD JAN 2004 - DEC 2004 - Most will be out by August 2009
Perhaps 20% may still rot in NC
further.
EB3-India with PD JAN 2005 - April 2005 - Most will be out by April 2010
Perhaps 5% may still rot in NC
further.
EB3-India May 2005 Onwards - Can not predict - It is good to look for other
options and that option certainly MUST not
be switching to EB2
BharatPremi, I hope your predictions are either met or excelled. I will pray for the happiness for your future 7 generation :-). After waiting for so many years, even 2009 does not sound that bad. I know I have no right to complain since many in EB3 have been waiting for years before me.
I also agree that porting to EB2 is not easy. A couple of my friends had their PERM labor itself rejected. I think waiting it out in EB3 may not turn out to be that bad. Or I do hope so....

What address did you use to send the I-485 using FedEx or UPS?
I sent it to the PO Box address:
USCIS Nebraska Service Center
P.O. Box 87485
Lincoln, NE 68501-7485
I did not know that FedEx/UPS could deliver to PO boxes and that you would have a person receiving and signing for it???
TIA
Do you guys think the packages were delivered at a Post office or a Box center in Lincoln, NE and the signers aren't actually ppl working for USCIS? Is there a chance that once accepted boxes can be refused later on?

It looks like prior to this visa bulletin, the DOS was just guessing the dates for the visa bulletins. Hopefully this behavior changes moving forward.
The best example to illustrate this is EB3-ROW:
1) Back in October 2006, this category was on 01MAY02. Very close to where it is right now.
2) DOS was not getting enough visas from USCIS, so they increased the date. By May of 2007 (Same Fiscal Year) the date was 01AUG03.
3) They still didn't get enough visas. So, by June of 2007 they moved it to 01JUN05.
4) The July 07 bulletin happened and after that everything became unavailable.
5) Then in October 2007, when the USCIS had not revised any of the July 07 applications, the DOS still didn't know what to expect, so they went back to 01AUG02.
6) Again, they didn't get enough applications, so they moved the date up. By January 08 they were in 15OCT02. And in Jun, they went all the way to 01JAN06. Then they became unavailable again.
7) In October of 2008 the date was in 01JAN05, which means that USCIS was not done with the July 07 cases and DOS didn't know what to expect. In April of this year they go back to 2003 (some I-485s that were received back in 2007 getting approved?) and then they became unavailable.
8) Now in October 2009 they are back in 2002.
With dates going from 2001 to 2005 then back to 2002 then up to 2006 then back again to 2002 (EB3-ROW in the last 3 years), it is easy to conclude that up until now, USCIS and DOS have been gambling with the dates. So the October bulletin could mean one of two things: 1) Either they have valid data now and the dates for this bulletin are realistic, which would be good because at least we would know now where we stand or 2) They are still gambling, which is neither good or bad, because with the previous history of movement in the dates, the dates could go back to 2006 again or even further...

Folks,
Its good to see this thread is still active. I just came home after 30 hrs non-stop work due to our product launch. I did go through quickly on all the posts after my post and I really didnt get the point I was looking for. I will respond to each of you tomorrow in one post.
The response I see for any type of campaign in the form of contributions is pathetic, based on the number of people waiting and those who are active. We will go nowhere, but this must change, and we will help.
I will now have to sleep for 5 hrs and then go back.
Thanks,

I did not get the 'approval notice' yet(mailed on aug 22).
Does it matter?
Congrats n enjoy freedom
Just curious: Did you registered/sign up for CRIS mail?.
I believe it is really a nice surprise if we see the card rather than customary bunch mails.

Section 202 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) states that the per-country limit for preference immigrants is set at 7% of the total annual employment-based preference limits. This means a country with large population like India and a tiny country like Lichtenstein get same number of visa numbers. This system is designed to systematically discriminate people from India and China by preventing them from attaining employment visas. More research needs to be done whether this constitutes a violation of US Equal Employment Opportunity Law. We need to find out whether this constitutes discrimination by national origin. Below is is some relevant reading material:

Contributing 50 dollars monthly...
I have seen IV actively working on behalf of all us (non immigrants). but i do think we (IV) can do more if all members contribute . I have few suggestions ..
1) if all members contriute monthly and having sufficient funds, IV can hire few lawyers to provide legal advice on inexpensive rate.. directly competeing with Murthy and others....
I m sure all members can hire IV for legal advise.
2) Create a community and help members who lost jobs recenlty...

It depends on amendments. If there is no one, just after the president's signature. But the good thing about 90 days is, they can add/update things behind the seen.
