Anything can be done to push recapture bill?
A lot can be achieved, if all members honestly contact and meet and talk with the staff of the lawmakers in their town.
The problem with the EB Community/ IV members is that we think that going and talking with our lawmakers is not going to help. Or, we are under the impression that all politicians generally know everything about us and are just unwilling to do anything about it for political reasons.
The truth is that 90% of lawmakers and their staff have no clue that there are thousands backlogged and stuck in this process for a decade.
It is our job to educate, bring our issues to light and keep pressure on them to bring/cosponsor or vote for a meaningful bill that will allievate our problems.
When I visited my local congresswoman's office the first time in 2007- The staff was actually shocked to hear that I have done all the right paperwork and being employed and stuck for 5 years.
Over the years, I have met them many times and educated them about the issues and build a relationship. And yet, many times the staff wonders if there are really thousands of people like me affected, how is it that there is just me that is visiting them and talking about it.
Remember there are 435 house representatives and 100 senators. Each one of you are within driving distance (40 minutes) to a office of a rep.

She's our strongest hope, according to well-placed sources.
Zoe Lofgren, Congresswoman,
- Chair - Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security and International Law (http://lofgren.house.gov/committees.shtml )
- ex-member of AILA.
This is great..I wonder how powerful she is? They never cared to reply to her July 2nd letter.

NOTE: It is mandatory for all attending advocacy day event to attend training sessions on Saturday/Sunday.
Dude, I was under the impression that coming on Sunday is enough. Are we going to have a call (at least at a state chapter level) before the event?

The USCIS and DOS are not answerable to anyone man...they will just streamroll u!!!
I think, the judicial system in the US is as independent as in India...there is no body under the sun in the US that is not answerable to the judical system..

You have to start all over if you find a EB2 qualified job and also if you qualify for that job,and your prospective employer couldn't find a qualified US Citizen or permanent resident for that job, you may port your current PD at the time of new I-140.
Hi All,
what is the procedure to move from EB3 to EB2....My PD is April 2004.
Can I move to EB2 with the same PD?
Thanks in advance

"IV Professional Network" is a great idea... are you thinking inthe line of NetIP???
for that should we not think of new sister website! with a link provided on thru IV website!
--
Good point.
Just to let you know, I have spoken to our counterparts at NETIP, at that time they were having their annual convention and after that we got busy with our DC rally. Thanks for reminding, this is an area worth exploring again. Are you an NETIP member? Maybe, you can help us facilitate this partnership. PM me your ph # and we can talk.

e-filed (NSC) on 04/19 and received the notice on 04/23. No update after that.
Called the customer care today. The representative opened a SR as I haven't received biometric appointment notice. Not sure how that's going to help as many folks have got their EAD without fingerprinting.
EAD expires on 92nd day. So keeping the fingers crossed :(
I woudn't worry much, it's not been even 2 months. My wife's EAD filed in mid-march was approved in 60 days. next week we both recvd notices for FP. i sent my EAD and our AP's 2 days before our FP appointment date. i think you will recv yours by month-end. Good luck.
My EAD:
Paper filed at Dallas Lockbox
sent on: 6/2/10 (via USPS express mail)
recvd by USCIS: 6/3/10
check cleared : 6/9/10
no receipt notice yet.
current EAD expires 9/25/10

1. What was mentioned in the job advertisements - was the alternate Bachelors+2 years mentioned
2. How long as it been since the last advertisement
3. Can they file another I-140 concurrently with I-485 using the recently approved labor
4. I agree with abhijitp you can get a RFE too
My suggestion would be to apply in EB3 even though the job advertisement reads masters or Bachelors with 2 years and use the option 3
I request you guys to consult a good attorney immediately and help your selves and also save time.
Please consult an attorney for your good.
Disclosure: I'm not an attorney

Is there any way to distinguish contributing members from non-contributing members when they post on forums ... something like adding a field to "Join date", etc. to show whether they are contributing. This will at least persuade some members to contribute out of shame...
Please contribute.
What if they are completely shameless?

:(:(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 know your pain, Iam in the same boat, submitted everything on 06/26, hopefully everything will be filed after july 4th.
I have submitted all the documents to my laywer on 6/25 itself (including medical) but they are just heavily back logged and won't be filing my case till Jul 10. I am just frustated now. I even offered to pay extra to speed it up but no use. I am only worried if dates retrogress half way through?
To my real question.. Can we just file on our own with out the lawyer? I would hate to loose this window just coz my laywer couldn't do it. Not sure how I would break that kinda news to my wife, "I know the dates were current for 10 days in July but our lawyer didn't have time so now you will have to stay at home for 1 more year".

That was informative.
The wild cards are still the LC substitutions and EB2 to EB3 conversions. Even if a lot of people had to go back to India, is there any estimate on how many of these LC approvals were later sold by the bodyshoppers? Depending on the extent of LC substitution frauds (from what I hear it was rampant) all the calculations and estimates could get completely thrown off. I agree that we should wait for another 2-3 months for the dust to settle. Even the USCIS/DOS should have a good idea of how many cases there are and that will help them control the flow better and that should reflect in the visa bulletins.
Oh Ya, in 2003-4, tons of "Virual Shops" were doing good business and that was covering coast to coast. And that's the problem, you can't tag the numbers to the effect of misdeeds, events bad or good. There was lot of talk aboout Indians going back but you would not find a single legitimate statistical article. but that does not mean we should not count the effect of that event. This mess is so severe, we just can not reasonabley predict based on available statistical data because so many events happened for which nobody has proper statistical data and so you can't tag its counter effects. I give you just recent example of this forum. Here one member Yadabada was just debating based on very logical set and he took the pain to go through all past damn bulletins showing me 2003 bulletins. I draw his attention that "India" was completing missing from the bulletins as "OverSubscribed" categories for most of the year 2003. Why? Now when you start analyzing this in 2007 and if you miss this important observation you start making your prediction base in diverted direction. Even in year 2003 nobody gave it a importance (AILA or whatever). USCIS has as apolicy put India,China,Mexico and Phillipines as "Oversubscribed" categories. Now if you think logically either particular country should have "Current" or some retrogressed date. But how do you interpret a bulletin if USCIS (Allaudin's Chirag) just make one country completely disappeared from the bulletin. Lateral interpretation could be "That country is no more "Oversubscribed" so why the hell it should not be "Current" if not "oversubscribed". USCIS plays this trick time to time. If you see bulletins from 1995, some time you will find China disappeared soem time India disappeared.
The reality is that people started taking bulletins seriously from 2005 only. till 2004 most of us were not giving a damn to those and that is why 2001-2004 lot is paying the price as well.If the cry what we have seen during July 2007, might have been seen during 2003, I guess, probably things may have been little better.

Hi Guys,
Happy to say , got the CPO status last night for my EAD.
I had e-filed on May 25th. 4 days back had called up customer service, and one lady said she would send an expedite request. Probably that did the trick. I had taken info pass appmnt for Aug 25 and was planning to meet the local congresman today.
Good luck you all. I know how frustrating the wait is ..
Hi,
Can you tell us what reason can we say to get the Expedited Request done?? Looks like they have a list of reasons and am not sure if that would create any more issues for us!
Thanks

Most of the people on this forum know that USCIS can change the rules whenever they want. Most of the people on this forum also realise that the whole process of GC is a big blackhole in which surprises keep on coming.
As far as I am concerned my PD is Sep 2004 , If I get my GC in 4 more years I consider myself to be lucky.
Most of us dont have any control over the process and how things get executed at DOS and USCIS at the sametime all of the people cannot make sure that their applications reach USCIS on 1st of July .
So dont worry about the things that we dont have any control over ..
Relax and try to do things with a sense of urgency on which you have control ...

All,
I filed the online application for EAD renewal on May 3rd and required documents were sent to Phoenix drop box on May 6th. I paid the fees using a credit card. The EAD application was returned on May 15th. Reason a signature is not contained in the signature box of the application or petition. A signature in the "Signature of person preparing form, if other than above" block is not a valid signature for this purpose. Please sign and resubmit the application with the appropriate fees. How do you sign a online application? Did I do something wrong here? The EAD application which I received back from USICS is the applicant copy. Should I sign on the applicant copy or reprint a new completed EAD form. For the fees should I just submit the previous document showing fees paid through credit card.
Any response will be appreciated.
I believe you need to send the documents to NSC or TSC for efiled applications and not to drop box facilities. the drop box is for paper filed applications only.

There is no point in educating a mass of angry, frustrated EB3-I folks.
By preference (a LEGAL statute), EB1>EB2>EB3
For spillover (a LEGAL statute), EB1>EB2>EB3
EB1-I get their GCs in about a year.
EB2-I get their GCs in about 6 years.
EB3-I get their GCs in about 8 years.
SO WHAT IS THE BLOODY PROBLEM??? Wait your turn patiently like everyone else, or upgrade your skills and education to apply for EB2 jobs. Stop bitchin' and moanin' and trying to find shortcuts in life. There are none.
Please IGNORE I_Got_Skillz and lets continue healthy debate. We should not let person like this create distraction.
