I applied end of March online at TSC. If they are approving within a month I would have got approval long back and not today. It is not coincidental they are approving so that they can give 1 year renewal.

I am in almost exactly the same situation as you... I wonder if this can be done as well... On the other hand, as long as AC21 and EAD are prevalent (as long as we can indeed get 3 yr EAD) it is atleast not as bad for us...
I pity the poor guys who could not file in july for whatever reason and are stuck in EB3 with a later PD
Yeah agreed...atleast we r lucky in that sense. But looks like now EB3 is not going anywhere. I might be wrong but till I dont see some good movement in EB3 category I choose to remain pessimistic...

I flew Air France once in 2003. My connecting flight from Paris to Delhi got delayed by 12 hours. When I approached the Air France staff, they told me that since I had an Indian passport, I would have to wait out the entire time in the transit area. Meanwhile, they proceeded to make arrangements for other non-Indian passengers. They even refused to acknowledge my attempts to reason with them, either not replying to me, or replying only in French. I filed a formal complaint afterwards, but never got a reply.
I have travelled on numerous times since then, but never with Air France. I don't even consider them as an option anymore.

No one is talking about what happened in Apr-2001. Bill Clinton allowed all illegal aliens to file AOS in EB-3 category. That brought estimated 8-10 million filings in Jan-Apr 2001 under EB-3 category. That's why it took so long for EB-3 to get past Apr-2001. With EB-3 having a number cap, I still have a feeling that those estimated 8-10 million are still floating around in the system and dragging EB-3 category. Any thoughts on this?

Just based on the definition given by DOL I decided Level III and Level IV to be EB2. Besides I am EB2 and my wage level is Level IV. I agree it is hard to conclude the cat based on wage level, I saw there were some Senior welders in Level III as well as Vice presidents of the companies. Quite a contradiction isn't it!!
I checked with the lawyer's office regarding levels I, II, II and IV on labor certification...The thing that determines EB2 and EB3 is what is written on the approved I-140.
For example, if it says 'Mem of Profession w/Adv Deg, or Exceptional ability Sec 203 (b) (2)' it is EB2. So it's what's checked in when u file your 140, and what it is approved for.
As far as levels I, II, III and IV are concerned, it does not matter regarding adjudication. The thing that only matters is either EB2 or EB3 (which is based on 140 approval as mentioned above) for Indians and Chinese in this case...

Someone asked earlier, who changed their mind after reading Jaime. I did after one of his earlier posts.
I was decided on not going, but then as I spent more time on this forum, I realized it is definitely the right thing to do. If not us speaking up then who? Simply answer that. How do lawmakers even know that we exist, that an injustice is happening to us, that we feel frustrated about our situation. They keep getting lopsided anti immigrant venom from some well organized and well funded groups and keep hearing about illegal immigration. Our pain however has resonance with them. We played by the rules, we came and lived legally at the invitation of our AMERICAN employers and the US gov't certified that there is no one to take the jobs we are doing, we paid taxes, we have integrated into society and we are asking, why are we being made to wait this long?
What's to feel bad or shy about in that?
I'll tell you something, those who are skeptical simply do not understand how this country works. It is a representative democracy and people pressure and protests and lobbying DO WORK. Otherwise lobbying would not be the biggest growth industry of the day. There is no other way to inspire change, and it has been, can and will be done. I have seen it time and over again.
The final point I wish to make is, those coming to this rally have pre-selected traits. They are the pre-selected ones who are programmed to be successful in this country. They understand it and are proactive and entrepreneural and willing to spend, take risks, take a leadership, are responsible and will do the right thing. These traits have been and will continue to be rewarded in the long run in this country. I wish we can project that our community has many of these people.
Those meek, follow the leader, risk averse, miserly, behind the back types, may have their little breadcrumbs but will never have the attributes to achieve anything of note in the USA anyway. They will continue to find lame excuses for their lack of progress.
Every reader needs to decide for themself which type he/she is. This is after all the greatest country in the world that you are asking for acceptance into.

I got to know from my attorney that, USCIS has my I 140 information in their system and they gave him a receipt number. But, the receipt is not generated yet. It may take a week or so to get the receipt. My appl was filed on 12th and it reached NSC on 13th.
I checked the status online with this receipt # and online status shows that they recieved the aplication on 19th and its at Texas center. May be my appl was moved to Texas now.
wat information does the lawyer/employer needs to give to USCIS to get the receipt number ?
Can you put some light on it ...

I am not blaming the Core at all, they are doing whateven they can given the limited resources, time and influence they have. But, what I am blaming, is the the "holier than thou" attitude which is adopted when distinguishing between those that are the exalted DONORS and those that aren't :)
oh ya, so you have a problem with donor status? Why don't you start with your cable company and ask them why do they charge you any money? Why don't you ask the gas station, that why do they charge you for the gas? Why don't you argue with the cashier at Walmart about the bill you have to pay if you want something? Its easy to be dismissive of others. Its even easier to fault others and argue that just because no one shared the information, so I have license to throw stones at others. But being an Eb2 highly skilled humanity savior personality that you are, why do you need a 3rd class Eb3 programmer to show you that it cost money to get things done. Why can't you see that in last 8 months this nation was going under a presidential election and nothing got done on any issue, other than bailouts and budget? Why can't you see that nothing has happened in the Congress on immigration for any other group? Why can't an highly skilled highly educated chanakya of this planet not see that it is ok for everyone to praise some immigration lawyers who are known to deliberately delay green card application, but its not ok to ridicule someone sincerely working to fix my issue? Why is it ok for me to track my application all day and not complain even once when some tracker website is asking for money to have my question from a lawyer, but will not leave any stone unturned to put the "burden of proof" of innocence on someone sincerely working to stand-up for me because I am too coward to stand-up for myself?
Let me help you understand it because it will be too much for your eb2 species brain to understand. Simple answer - You cannot see past the things that you cannot understand. Just go and ask Walmart cashier as to why he/she is charging you money for the things you want? Maybe that will help.

Just because some people are not accepting others views they cannot tell their view is correct. This is a Forum and opposite views should also be tolerated. Then there is no need for Forum or Forum rules can tell that only certain messages are allowed. It is upto anyone to accept or deny others views.
Democrats will hopefully move in the right direction.
- Some uphappy soul is so frustrated after the result of the recent elections that it is posting trash on these forums. You know who it is ;) Take a deep breath buddy and let the reality sink in.
- We are trying to teach you a lesson by not voting for you. lol :D yeah right.
- These anti-immigrant proponents were predicting a status-quo in the house by defeating any pro-immigrant candidate.
You can't win both ways. It just shows weak logic and confused head.:rolleyes:

I filed my labor twice with Fragomen and got rejected in 2001 and 2002.
Just for H1B visa extension they took more than 9 months. Although they have all my papers for months. Eventually, I had to leave my employer for good.
Stay away from them if you have choice.
In my case they took 10 months to file my labor back in 2001. Instead of filing my case in June 2001, they filed my LC only in the middle of Feb 2002.
Also they never provide any update. Whenever you call them, they are always away from the desk and wanted us to leave a message. Even if you leave a message you don't expect any response from them.
When my I-140 was approved back in 2006, they filed my 7th year H1 extension. They chose 1 yr extension instead of 3 yrs. I pointed out that mistake 3 times and i never singed the form till they corrected it. It took four attempts to file my H1b extension.

Just an analogy please dont think i am against undocumented fellows.. They are definitely facing a bigger problem than us!
Compare the following
Nondocumented vs. Documented Legals
1] Not well educated / Highly Skilled
2] Not much computer savvy / Mostly everyone should be
3] Not have enough resources to advertise their struggle!
/ Trying all ways to advertise & campaign
4] Do not have enough monetary collection to run a rally / advt /
set up a website
/ Have some collection to do the basics
5] Come here illegally and yet have the courage to demand a legal status openly...
/ Feel shy or sorry for demanding a legal status soon! (for those who dont think
this is worthwhile)
Inspite of all these negatives , they have grouped up so well ! highly commendable. I dont know what we can learn from them, only that they are all in the same boat , but we are in different ones .. as some have got gc, some have got receipts, some are ready to wait as they have just applied, some are just not interested!!

They hushed up and approved my EAD in 20 days. Why ???? 'cos So they don't hit Jun'30 and give 2 years. They wanted to milk another 680 from me so they hushed up and sent me the 1 year EAD in 20 days.
I guess we all have problems with USCIS, either with their inefficiency (eg. receipt delays during July Fiasco), or sometime with their super efficiency (EAD's getting approved too fast):D

Yes , its Free :D Anyway - lets talk with a 3rd person (maybe USCIS) and confirm. Its Free, if you read the EAD forms its clearly written that once some one pays $340 ( not other amount) it becomes FREE for ever. I just checked the EAD forms again before writing this post - let me PASTE from EAD forms if that clear the confusion.
Renewal EAD: If this is a renewal application and you
applying under one of the following categories, a filing fee
not required:
1. (a)(8) Citizen of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, or Palau;
3. (a)(11) Deferred Enforced Departure; or
2. (a)(10) Granted Withholding of Deportation;
4. (c)(l), (c)(4), or (c)(7) Dependent of certain foreign government, international organization, or NATO personnel;
5. (c)(9) or (c)(16) adjustment applicant who filed for adjustment under the fee structure implemented July 30, 2007.
No it is NOT free from there on.
Btw I just got "screwed over" by the USCIS ;). I "missed" the June 30th deadline by 5 days. Our EADs got appoved today. If only the USCIS was as effieicient with 485s as it is with monetary screw overs :rolleyes:

I guess this is what DOS is looking at.
April 2004- March 2005 All countries & all Cat: - 905
(This can be ignored)
2005 PERM EB2 India/China
(Level III & Level IV):- 729
Late 2005 to 01 June 2006
EB2 India/China ((Level III & Level IV)):- 7037
Total labors: - 8671
Assuming 80% of the total made it into 140/I485 stage
New Total of labors: - 7000
7000 labors * 2.5 visa per family
Total expected Visa demand: - 17500
Assuming 80% cases are ripe for approval.
Total visas required to clear the case up until 01 June 2006 is
14000
I know the discussion is about how many visas are remaining and we are trying to estimate it based on approved labour petitions. While the PERM data may be more reliable I have my serious doubts about the pre-PERM data. My PD is Jul 2004 and my case does not even show up in the 2004 MDB file. I think the 905 number is a severe understatement.

What Logiclife means here is that this amendment will fail to have enough support as it contains a provision for MORE H1-B's.
Got it. Though, it exempts everyone with MS from H1B quota, there should be emplyment opening for all. Employer should sponser with $5000 filing fee. They can make 1 million H1B visas with 10,000 fee. But who will sponser?
This is true too numarically exempted folks in EB2 and EB1 catagories.
I remember that there are so many H1B visas were not used, when H1B visas are having a limit of 195,000.
