We would never get want we want:D
If we don't receive a notification today saying that our EAD has been approved, does that mean that we would get a 2-Year EAD card? Or do you think that they will work over the weekend? :D

Some people advise to wait and watch and some people ask to do something else. I would like to say one thing and it is purely my perspective. People who are waiting inline for 8-10years does not know when they will be getting their GC in hand. May be in next four to five years. By that time on average their age will be around 35-45.
Do you want to wait 4-5 years and do the job which you were doing 10years back?
Did you had any vision for your career when you started your GC and life?
Do you have the same vision now for your career and life?
Did you feel you and your family have sacrified enough in your personel life for this stupid GC?
IF YOU SAY I HAVE DECIDED TO GO BACK TO MY HOME COUNTRY:
Do you think you will get a managerial job if you go back to india at the age of 40 when you could see guys @30 doing that job with ease and with better experience?
Do you think becos of 10+years of expereince in programming field, indian companies will recruit you for managerial job?
Are you willing to work in India as a programmer with 10+ years of US exp under a 25-30 year old team lead or PM ?
If you say YES , YES , YES for all the above, do you think any indian company will recruit a programmer at the age of 40? forget about the salary you are going to ask for your exp which they will never accept.
So at the end if you wait long enough for GC, then it is better to wait here until you get it. At least you can save your life though you have to start your career from -10years. If you quit and decide to go back to your homecountry, your life is going to be tough.
Options for guys waiting for 8-10years for LC:
1. Try to get PMI Certification, CISA certificaiton.
2. Try to get TOEFL, GMAT scores and keep it ready.
3. Try to get in contacts with most of your friends and manpower agencies in India.
4. If you file for your 485 in next one or one and half years, then proeceed with MBA plans(parttime or full time or executive MBA) in top 25-30 business school.
5. Your waiting will yeild fruit in this country only with MBA as in next 10 years, US will need more managers than programmers to manager all their outsourced projects.
6. If you do not have such vision and you are happy with what you are doing now and if your job is secured for next 100years and if you feel that you will be happy in future by doing the same job and OK with other kids going up the ladder stepping on you and if you are ok reporting to them and listening to them, getting bashed by them etc etc, you can very well wait for next 100 years hoping to get GC one day.
I am not talking about one guy in one corner living beautiful life.
I am not talking about guys who are lucky on everthing to get on time including GC.
I am talking about majority of the people and general human nature, people who came to US with a vision for their career and life. People who have had and has a spark in their eyes.

If you file today it will be past october when you have to choose between EB2 and EB3 (I485 stage for EB2) till that time you have both the process going on EB2 and EB3.
If you start EB2 process in October it will take 6 to 9 months to clear labor and I 140..
I wouldn't make that decision until Oct of 2008.
My personal opinion and analysis tell me that EB2 will soon get retrogressed from what it is today and the picture will not be that rosy in a couple of months.
I would wait until Oct 2008 and see what kind of visa numbers are available at that time for EB2 and EB3 and them make any decision on switching.
Again..just my opinion.

Andy, 25+ million before they petition for their parents, grandpas, uncles, nieces, bothers and sisters, etc. Then in few years do the math and tell me whether that should be a whole lot more :-) But who cares as long as we get our GC, right ?
I agree 100% with you. If you do not get your GC approved before those 25+ million people get in the line ahead of you. Remember they will have to send those 25 million names for namecheck and the government will do theirs before everybody else's.

It would soon be 9 years for me to be here in US, my 2001 app is in DBEC. I have been with the same company for almost 7 years, have survived through rounds of layoffs, and so many other personal issues, I can not even count.
Despite this I am willing to stay here and give it some more time.
For the first time in last many years, while my app was rotting at SWA, I have seen an concentrated effort by an organization to raise immigration issues.
I am willing to see what IV does and how far reaches in it's goals, at least various lawmakers are aware of our problems now.
Keep the faith, hang in there, this is a really long tunnel but after so many reversals, it about time we see something positive done for us.
As for the those who say, "US doesn't care, i will go back, US will get hurt", I don't buy that argument, US will not get hurt, despite so many problems US still remains a magnet that attracts talent from all over the world.
If you leave, or if I leave will have very little impact. And even if u go back and start working for TCS or Wipro, they will send you back to US on a project.
Unless you want to start your own business, I don't see much benefit in going back and working for the big consulting companies. And if you want to start business, why not start here, who is stopping you? ok, i know there are limitations on H1 etc, but there are many loophopes work around those.
And what if things change in India? if things are not in your favor there, where will run from there? where will you go?
My point being that we have a pretty decent chance to getting some immigration relief here, IV is working towards it, instead of saying "forget it" I am leaving, let's all learn to fight.
Let's all learn to work to solve this problem. Work with IV, work yourself to get one of these bills passed.
If nothing else, lets's all make it a point that every 2 weeks, we will write a letter to our lawmakers explaining the problem and asking for relif. every other week write to a media channel.
Even if you are not great at writing letters, just write what you can and send, it doesn't need to be perfect.
Eventually, someone will notice, eventually someone will do something about it.
So, for all those who are thinking of running away, I am saying, how about stay here and fight here. Let's stop taking the easy path out everytime, if you want your benfit, stay and do something positive.
your's truly,
Sangam.

I finally got the letters and the root cause of my I485 denial. My previous employer informed that they used my approved I140 for another employee. As many of you might know this I140 substitution practice was a loophole until June 2007. These days companies can not do this any more.
So probably when my I485 came up for adjudication, there was no I140 since it had been used and hence they denied it. Now, I changed jobs per AC21 rules--yeah the famous rule that USCIS ignores. I am waiting on my current attorneys to file an MTR as soon as possible.
Question to forum members:
1. Are there folks in EXACTLY similar situation?
2. If yes, after filing MTR and it getting accepted, what are next steps since one definitely needs a approved I140?
3. Further to #2 above, does one need to file another I140 and port the previous date? I am sure this would take longer time than the current H1b that I hold until June 2009.
4. Can any one share lawyer name and contact info who might have favorably helped a forum member so that I can contact the person and get a second opinion to discuss legal strategies that might be available.

Well, I hope mine gets resolved sooner than 6-8 months! My EAD is already expired and I could not apply since there was nothing in the application where I could show my status which is PR.
TravInd, you are right about people not knowing the priority dates and not aware the GC was a mistake. In fact, I still don't know for sure if mine was a mistake. I will know only when I find it out through the lawyer. My previous lawyer who worked on my GC case said congratulations and everything was fine. I am eager to find out if it was a mistake on my own.
Just a hypothetical scenario.
Say an applicant is having PD of March 2005.
His/Her 485 gets approved with PD of Jan 2005. (may be a typo by CIS data entry person)
However at the time of approval, PD is current till June 2005. (he or she should have been approved anyway).
What would be the scenario? Thoughts? Any one????

This is essentially what we got in July07, and this can be a great pain relief. Since it was done in July07, there is already a precedent for it?? Would it be an administrative fix then? Just a note , IV already has this as one of the things we are working to change in law, but I was wondering if it could be admin only fix.
This is different from what was done in July 2007. Back then all PD was current. This is to grant the ability to file AOS even when the PD is NOT current

Could you ask him for a PROOF and that the package actually reached there and USCIS actually rejected it without opening ??
3. Other Issues like July 2nd Filing/ October Visa Bulletin, Etc.
Cases Filed on July 2, 2007 - No USCIS Receipts So Far for
Q. Have you gotten any receipts or rejections for cases filed before the Revised Visa Bulletin announcement was made?
A. So far, the USCIS has not yet issued either receipt notices nor have rejections arrived on any July 1st or 2nd, 2007 cases filed at USCIS to the best of our knowledge.

If they had used up enough visas...why does it have to be still in Nov 2001.This is insane.Total Insane prediction.

This is really great news!!
I have a labor approved. Not yet filed I-140.
Can I file I-140 and 485 together now?
Does it matter if I-140 is filed as premium or regular if 485 can be applied for along with the I-140?
Also, I called in the USCIS number (202) 663-1541 that has the recorded message with the priority dates. The ones that are employment based are not all current for India. They are not the older dates too...something like 2005 for EB3 India (unless I was too excited that I didn't hear it right!)
Are all employment based categories for India really current?
Thanks...
