My PD: July 2001. I am already waiting 6+ years from start the process(Auto remanded LCA & BEC) and if i have to wait 3+ years for NC then I will cross 10 year mark in process. :D What a terrible process. :rolleyes:
Knowing the fact that so many applicants have been waiting for YEARSSSS and USCIS not doing anything about makes me sick just thinking about it. How can agency be so ignorant and continue to make thousands of people live in dark black hole for years? Has anyone heard about the new plans or action taken by either agency to reduce the backlog. According to what ombudsman said on july 20 2007 teleconference USCIS will dramatically reduce the backlog for people waiting 33 months or longer in immediate future, apparently it has been 4 months and nothing seems to have been moved yet.

I cannot name any lawyers in my post, so I leave it up to you whether to treat this as serious advice or not...
My lawyer says USCIS does not allow one person to be represented in more than one 485 applications....whether the person is primary or beneficiary.
My wife's lawyer (I won't name this lawyer either) says there is no prohibition on filing multiple 485s.....however, it's just a waste of money (her opinion).
Thanks,
Jayant

Notes:
If you already have applied in EB2 you won't be affected.
If you have a Masters you won't be affected.
I am EB2 India with Dec 2005 waiting. I think all EB applications should have fair short. So if a EB3 can become a EB2 legally, I think it is a fantastic thing.
I did not know about this rule. I changed employer in Jan 2005. My last employer's lawyer ill advised them to file me under EB3 in spite of the fact that the job paying off close to 200 k in compensation required B +8 and M+4 years of experience. I changed the job in Sep 05. Next company did the right thing and started the labor in EB2. I did not know about porting/interfiling otherwise my PD would have been Jan 2005. So even if I would have done a Port/Interfile, how am I at fault ?

The Federal government has a whole agency to protect people against such discrimination, and we are here speculating on nuances. If somebody denied you employment on EAD, just talk to them and see what they say. You don't need anything in writing.
Agree. Most of us are not lawyers. Why add another job duty? The only legal document that I ever sign concerning employment is the I-9. It say discriminating EAD is illegal, and should be reported. Just go with that to the govt. As it is we are spending so much time to just maintain legal status. Let DOJ, DHS do their job, and not worry about every single detail.
Tell me whats the point of IV fighting for multi-year EAD (maybe good news is around the corner) if employers won't take it.

I called Everyone
and is a great response
more calls, more calls, more calls ...
friends, let us all do it...
its for everyone
I am surprised that all other threads are getting updated quite frequently. People are posting question related to their RFE and as usual once they get answer to their problems, they vanish. People are posting jokes on IV, but when it is their turn to call, we've to "bump" this thread and send e-mails to members. So pathetic.
I felt very sad when I read 30000+ members donated some 4000 dollars in last two months. I felt my donation of about 1000 dollars since 2006 is being wasted to answer questions of or to solve the problems of these free riders &/or one question members.
Please call all Numbers except co-sponsors ...
Find people And ask everyone else also to call ...

I urge you and anybody else who has gone through this to find out more about this by calling the OSC's hotline. (http://www.usdoj.gov/crt/osc/htm/engperliwdiss.htm) If I were in your situation, I would at least want to find out what my rights are, what is discriminatory and what is allowed by law. Call them and simply explain that you believe that you were not considered eligible for a job because you have an EAD card as opposed to a Green Card.
Exactly. I couldn't agree more if I wanted to.

5.) Pre-Adjucated Yes/No --> YES
6.) Info Pass Yes/No --> yes (Today - No help)
7.) USCIS Contact Yes/No --> Yes(Case assigned to IO)

Thanks to all the great folks at IV that helped me navigate through this journey. This has been a great forum to know the updates and issues faced by the Highly Skilled Immigrants like us...
It has also helped me in understanding the situation from the inception of my journey and helped me make my moves accordingly with one goal of getting GC without going through any hassles.
And finally , I sincerely pray for all the folks in EB-3 to get some kind of relief soon, so you can get greened soon. And I would still support this great organization in what ever way I could.
Thanks and best wishes to you all waiting :-)
PS: For those of you who think Visas are over, its not the case based on my approval received today afternoon. So hang in there, your day comes soon enough :-)

Hi,
I received I485 approval mail on Sept 9th 2010, but have not received my cards yet. There was a soft LUD on Sept 17th. Anyone in this situation?
What was the LUD you received on Sep 17th? I got the same msg on 09/09, but nothing after that. Is your online status changed to card production?

did you emailed to ombudsman also? any replies from him?
While a lot of people sending generic letters on this issue would certainly bring the underlying issue to the discussion table - the lack of "locus standi" would prevent ombudsman or even USCIS from acting.
Let me explain what I mean by the above statement - every case is different and is adjudicated according to the merits of that specific case alone based on applicable laws and procedures. So, investigation and even future policy direction can be only be based on specific instances of the entire case files and detailed specific reasons of how these cases were wrongly adjudicated.
So, the service centers and even the ombudsman is right in saying - we cant help till we have actual case #s

NEVER one can expect such a thing from the most advanced nation in the world.

But are n't they proposing 50 % rule.. how can a small desi company afford 50 % US citizen staff ? That is why may be people think consulting companies will not work.
but what I think is it will make them less profitable. Very small body shoppers will go out of business. Med to large indian owner based consulting companies will be less profitable.
Guys with stock investment in indian IT compnies Heads UP !
50% rule - Does this cover only US Citizens or includes GC as well? not clear... may be senators didn;t think about GC folks in this bill... A lot of the companies, I believe will have 50% with GC holders/citizens/T1/OPT/Add any other visa category who can work.. Since the bill restricts only H1B/L1.
There are some assumptions, I guess on above post, that americans are paid more etc... which is totally wrong... A lot of the folks in this community, I believe, based on my own experience are paid more or at par with american counterparts. (I guess, about the profitability, if you mean it in terms of less productivity, I agree with that.)
I guess the genuine companies will move the H1/L1 staff abroad along with positions to meet this requirements if at all this becomes law. What that means is more job loss in US. (Whether US has 50% of total "high skilled" work force necessary to run the operations of all the companies is another important question... I do not think so, may be the senators are considering highschool dropouts to handle the "high skilled" jobs :), I read somewhere about a recent survey and only 27% of 25-45 age group of population has a college degree in all discipline. I will try to find the link)
Over all, I see this move by senators as short sited and will prove disastrus to America in long run given the fact that no other country in the world is as dependent on technology / research and development as US.

July VB Fiasco I-485 Receipting Delays
The USCIS has yet to release the detailed progress report on the receipting delays in terms of the numbers that have yet to be processed for receipting. The only thing people know through various private websites just indicates that there are a plenty of people who are still waiting for filing fee checks cashed or receipt notices received for the cases which were filed as early as July 2, 2007, not to mention any later cases.
We reported earlier that the USCIS had allegedly received total of 800,000 cases for the July VB fiasco cases. There is an unconfirmed report that they have completed the receipting only half way through of the total, meaning approximately 400,000. There are no sources of information to verify or confirm the figures. However, if it is correct, the USCIS has yet to process mountains of receipting workloads ahead and the filers have some additional sleepless nights which they will have to endure for a while. AMEN!

No. Not in May, but sometimes during 2011 the chances that Jan 2007 will be current is extremely good. Good luck.
