my gc process started in october 2001 but i have a PD of Jan 2003.
they are slow but they're good.
It depends on which office of Fragomen you are dealing with or should I say which attorney. One of the attorneys in DC office took 8-9 months to file my labor.

USCIS is clearly requesting for two passport size photos with AP application.
It is surprising that most people don't even read basic instructions with the USCIS forms, and go on asking questions and sometimes giving (wrong) suggestions in IV. Yeah, it takes a few minutes to look through the instructions but searching/writing/replying/ doubting/making mistakes/giving red dots/ etc in IV takes more time, I think. :)
I e-file my AP and I got receipt notice immediately after completion of e-file. And I got the direction on the PDF listed bellow. USCIS clearly mentioned DO NOT send Copy of ID, Photos unless they requested. That�s why I didn't send any documents to USCIS.
6) DO NOT mail photos or copies of identification unless requested to do so by USCIS.[/COLOR]

:oUSCIS has become the Cash cow of the Cash strapped US govt. We are the chickens whose feathers are being skinned.
Yep, its official. They will blindly approve all pending EADs before June 30th. How can they be so obviously greedy?

I dont know the whole background...but they say they will use 5000 unused visas per year. Where do these unused visas come from? FB visas?
I'm guessing if its contractors/workers, its likely to come out of EB category. This is bad news! They should have additional numbers for these situations rather than taking from existing pool which is already retrogressed.:mad:

These are really sad set of circumstances. My heart goes out to you. If it is of any consolation, once your 140 is aprooved, you would be able to file for 485 (hopefully in Oct-07) and with a PD of 2002, you should get your GC before most of us..good luck..
I applied for my labor during sept 2002.Just before my labor getting cleared, they started this BEC 's and sent my application to PBEC and it it was cleared during 2006 April.( after 3 and 1/2 years)
During this period I got one year of extension for my H1B and sent papers to the attorney for I-140.That stupid attorney did not file my I-140 for the next 4 months just like that.( god only knows what happened bw, my employer and attorney). and at last we changed the attorney and applied for I-140 during 2006 November. and during 2007 Feb I put my I-140 for premium processing.
Before I get RFE for the premium processing , the USCIS mistook my employer name with other employer and denied my I-140.And again After the attorney clarified them about the RFE , they Put my I-140 into Abeyance state. That means I can not File for I-485 because my I-140 is not in pending state and I can not apply for I-140 again becuase I-140 is not in denied state.
And for the past 3 months My I-140 is in neither pending , nor Denied state and my attorney does not even answer for the question whether I can Apply for the H1B extension.
all these years I am very patient , but once the dates are current , I am lieing , If I say that I am not jealous of those who is able to apply for I-485 , who came to USA in Jan 2007.

I support this, and am ready to contribute $, time and sweat. We need visibility. Our main goal is to EDUCATE people, (and even the government!) that we are the totally opposite of illegals! The Congressman who spoke at our rally had a lot of good intentions, but then he started talking about how "illegal immigrants are also people who look like me"(meaning Caucasian/White) and he mentioned the thousands of illegal Irish immigrants living in Boston, who have a group called "Legalize the Irish Now".... those comments had no place in our rally of highly-skilled LEGAL immigrants! And that was a Congressman talking. EDUCATION IS THE WORD, and we need to invest in it NOW!! Let's go guys! Ideas!???
I fully empathize with everyone in this forum languishing in the visa backlog - i am in the same boat myself. But I don't understand the impulse to talk down the illegals who are in a much much worse position than we are in! it would help a lot to refrain from taking unnecessary digs at people who do the thankless menial jobs no one else does. the anti-immigrant machine is very very sophisticated with millions of dollars and foot soldiers at their disposal - fudging the difference between legals/illegals when it suits them and scuttling any reforms to ease the ugly & racist eb backlogs in the background. IV has done a commendable job so far in taking it on in a dignified way with Mahatma Gandhi style protests and rallies - please don't taint it with unnecessary digs at the illegals - they are as deserving of a fair shot at the american dream as we are. that said, i fully support kicking everyone in the butt and getting something done to eliminate the backlog - even well publicized volunteering may help apart from another rally

Because most of the people here have smoked a weed called CIR and are halucinating. This bill is digging our grave, people wake up and stop day dreaming, please start opposing this bill no cir period.
Now Pitha, imagining you are fighting an oponent more powerful than you, when will you try to throw some blows? when the oponent is down on the ground crying for help, right? when somebody else has brought it down. Thats just what has heppened to the CIR, we all hated this in the form it was presented and now the big bully is down, face in mud. Now the core / our members should get on top and give as many blows as possible so that when it rises again it has a better face.

You stand a better chance of getting it through your kids if they are citizens than getting it through EB3. There are a few options to get green card faster. Canada is not one of them.
1. Get a Ph.D, get a job in a univ and apply in EB-1.
2. Get a MBA and get a management job and apply in EB-1.
3. Become a religious worker in some temple and apply in the religious worker category.
Fun apart, if you feel comfortable that you can find a job of your liking, and you believe your background will qualify you for a PR, consider Canada. It is a good place to live. You never miss home there. I am a Cdn citizen and have lived there for many years. Most likley I'll return back to Canada when I decide to retire. I know at least one person, who after living in the US for 11 yrs and unsuccessful in getting a GC, chose to make Canada his home, hoping to be there just for 3 yrs (needed to be a citizen), and then return to the US on TN permit. He has been in Canada for 8 yrs, and does not want to consider to move to the US any more.
Canada has a bit slower life, but is better socially and people are friendlier. It has less professional opportunities, lower pay and more tax. Yet, overall I think Canada is a better place to live. Why am I in the US? Purely for professional reasons. I visit Canada quite frequently, which I consider as my home.

o.k..I read some of your old posts (but not thorougly) and I was confused (I guess you have done lot of research) - so can you explain again ?
in yr opinion - does it mean EB3(I) won't go back to april 2001 ?
I guess by "what happened in 2002 - 2004" - you mean lawyers filed most cases in EB3 ..am I right ?
would appreciate yr reply ..Thanks !!
I am not saying it will not go back to APR 2001. USCIS can and will do anything. Bottomline is that adverse effect of APR 2001 is practically over except some residual ones ( residual cases also could be in hundreds). So now if uSCIS is taking any category back to APR 2001 it will merely be a game to keep particular catgeory stopped for a while. USCIS need one case to do that and it will surely have at least one case.

Nope I didn't mention anything about being the proud donor etc. in my first post. You are the one who wrote the comment to my post in the most indecent and disrespectful way, bringing the point of donor. For your reference I have pasted the first comment that you made on my post also for you convenience I have highlighted it as well. Also keep replying as I love to kick your rear again and again.

Dude you brought up the point of being a proud donor. Nobody gives a hoot if you donate or not.
You are doing it for yourself and not for humanity.
Get it right!
And the way you behave shows what kind of background you have (UP/Bihar)
So just grow up and learn how to respect others!!!

Logiclife,
IV is a voluntary organisation. You can request people to volunteer, but cannot force them or scold them for not volunteering. This is not professional. They might have their reasons and the right to work their way. I agree with your frustration when people who signed to turn up do not show up. But I feel this is not the way to express it.
Ram
I have been member of IV since Dec 05. Probably since a couple of weeks after it was founded.
In last 2 years, I have seen many ups and downs with this org and there are numerous stories to share in my work with core and grassroots, with lobbyists and congressional staffers, with friends and colleagues.
But what has been happening in few places lately is something that those responsible should be ashamed of.
On saturday IV chapter leader in Texas Needhelp! had organized a local chapter meetup. Now you may ask, oh, another one of those. What do they do anyways?
Well, here is what we do in chapter meetups.
WE WORK.
We find groups that can be formed to meet local congressmen. We refine talking points. We share updates that we dont usually share on website. We help new members get up to speed. We sometimes get local immigration attorneys to answer questions on pro-bono basis (yes, that means free for you) to serve the community. Lawyers get free publicity, we get free legal advise. A symbiotic quid-pro-quo.
This is what happened this weekend in Plano TX (Dallas Suburb).
Now mind you, Dallas area alone has probably atleast 300 registered members. Not to mention the lurkers for whom I have a special message below(at the end).
This is what she (Needhelp) reported after chapter meetup.
Yep. She missed an extra carricular event important to her daughter for this meetup.
Dont even get me started on those who live 10 miles from Plano Texas and dont bother responding even.
You know, when someone arranges to send you details in email and you know about it, you say you will attend and then you dont, what do you think is going to happen?
IF EAD IS THE END OF THE ROAD FOR YOU...
If EAD is the end of the road for you, then why are you still coming to this website. There are about always 600-700 people on this site during the day and about 300 people at night. Who are these people?
The truth of the matter is, the ones who dont contribute, have stopped contributing, or have never contributed funds, attended events or given anything to this org - but still keep scouring theads - are the people to be pitied. You will always be worried. "Mera kyaa hoga". (what will happen to me). Your journey wont end. Ever. Even after getting GC you will be worried about citizenship. Even after getting citizenship, there will be small itch in your head - what if my citizenship is revoked (yes it can legally happen and has happened to a WWII genocide guy in 2001-2002 timeframe, go google it and ruin your rest of the day).
The truth of the matter is, right now, even after getting EAD, then only action you have taken is either stopped contributing funds, or stopped giving any of your time to this org.
But your life has not changed one bit.
You probably wont even use your EAD or change employers. You will constanly be worried about your namecheck, your fingerprints, your this, your that. You will be worried about new inquiries and RFEs coming on your approved 140 (approved years ago) during 485 processing. (yes that can happen too). You will be worried about accidental rejection of 485 (that's why most of the people wont even use EAD and continue on H1 to preserve option of using appeals process to appeal 485 rejection on H1). You will be worried about USCIS not buying your AC21 portability and sending your RFEs to prove that the ported job is "Same or similar" in nature. You will be worried about being unemployed for few weeks at a wrong time just about when 485 RFE comes and you dont have a letter to show you have a job offer to justify 485 approval.
So basically the struggle hasnt ended. Yes, keeping looking at your EAD in your wallet every 3 minutes, its still miserable.
So why not act to end the misery rather than scour forums and comiserate. Is it that much fun to comiserate and is it that much pain to co-operate?
THE LURKERS ON THIS SITE WHO WILL NEVER REGISTER OR DO ANYTHING AT ALL.
Not to mention how many cowards (yes, cowards who think that by registeration on this website, the USCIS will send a black helicopter to their home and abduct and deport them, the ones who have watched the movie "enemy of the state" too many times and think that there is a Jon Voight out there who has nothing to do both to pluck legal skilled immigrants and throw them out). I have a special message for those lurkers who need this website and visit it everyday but dont have the balls to register, share email and participate in any activity. This isnt about a chapter meetup, or your greencard or even this org. Your reluctance is not a reflection of your over-cautiousness. Its a reflection of your character. You will eventually get greencard, become citizens even, but this kind of cowardly attitude will made you lead a boring, uneventful and mediocre life.
And by the way, if the government was really after you, they would have already gotten to you for browsing this site too. Dont you think they (the black helicopter guys) can find our who you are while you are lurking? Ever heard of IP addresses? If I can find that out then they can do much more.

bestia,
My point is enjoy your dinner, yes you can't worry about every hungry man but don't tell the hungry to enjoy the hunger! If we can't help them let's not rub it in their face. That's all I am saying. Anyway, my comment wasn't meant for you. You have shown understanding. I did see a few ppl earlier who literally asked ppl to "shut up and enjoy the ride". That really pi*** me off.
Come on, man. We are paying too much attention here. Look, there is always somebody stuck somewhere. People are stuck in BEC, in other contries. People are stuck in Afganistan, Bangalore, there are hungry people stuck in Africa. So? If there are hungry people, then I can't enjoy my dinner then? Someone always has to come and say "you enjoy and there are people stuck somewhere"? What's your reaction would be if someone come on your wedding and start complaining that he is impotent? - these are a little extreme examples, just to make a point.
Bigtime008,
Its really your judgement call if you believe whether IV is an organization that is helping BEC victims. I think the focus of this organization is retrogression relief. Nothing wrong or right about it.
IV core keeps telling us, BEC is always on their agenda. Really? If they did not even understand our pain and consider our frustration a disruption to people's happiness, how can we expect them to help? I still think IV is a great org, as it's the first such organization to speak out for legal immigrants. But when it comes to BEC victims, I did not see IV changed anything, or intend to change anything.
My point is enjoy your dinner, yes you can't worry about every hungry man but don't tell the hungry to enjoy the hunger! If we can't help them let's not rub it in their face. That's all I am saying. Anyway, my comment wasn't meant for you. You have shown understanding. I did see a few ppl earlier who literally asked ppl to "shut up and enjoy the ride". That really pi*** me off.
Come on, man. We are paying too much attention here. Look, there is always somebody stuck somewhere. People are stuck in BEC, in other contries. People are stuck in Afganistan, Bangalore, there are hungry people stuck in Africa. So? If there are hungry people, then I can't enjoy my dinner then? Someone always has to come and say "you enjoy and there are people stuck somewhere"? What's your reaction would be if someone come on your wedding and start complaining that he is impotent? - these are a little extreme examples, just to make a point.
Bigtime008,
Its really your judgement call if you believe whether IV is an organization that is helping BEC victims. I think the focus of this organization is retrogression relief. Nothing wrong or right about it.
IV core keeps telling us, BEC is always on their agenda. Really? If they did not even understand our pain and consider our frustration a disruption to people's happiness, how can we expect them to help? I still think IV is a great org, as it's the first such organization to speak out for legal immigrants. But when it comes to BEC victims, I did not see IV changed anything, or intend to change anything.

Those who do talk and blame in the anonymity of the web andnever do anything and keep hiding behind their closets expecting sky to fall are the one who "don't wear clothes"
Folks - in all seriousness - why don't people come out of anonymity? Are you shy? Are you scared? I know, you don't come out because you don't wear any clothes.
Things are bad for us - let us not blame IV. Utilize this time to mobilize the community. Lets build IV stronger. Lets build state chapters, lets all unite and do something about it.
IV members have done a lot of things and keep doing things - the reason we see no result or minimal result is because the community has never never come forward to help. It has been a very few folks that actually did something.
How long ca you think a few people can do everything for us? Should we all not take one step forward in helping ourselves?
We don't. We want to sit behind the anonymity of the web and blame a scapegoat. Those who want to help are scapegoats. Blame IV - for everything.
The reality is - IV needs a lot lot lot funds,IV needs manpower, IV needs your skills, IV needs your unity, IV does not need your criticism because if you criticize IV it won't help you.
So you and I together - united we stand - we build IV - if we do not want to take that extra step - we all suffer.
Some of us spent a lot of money - we did rallies and lobby days - shelled a lot of money frm our pockets - what else can you expect us to do? why did you not do rally or why don't you participate lobbying. why don't you talk to media, why don't you collectively network for the cause?
Admin fixes - some members were begging in train stations to get signatures on the admin fix letter. People waited outside places of worship, parties, schools, and other places, they were ready to s[pend money and time on these things, but why did 30K + members not want to even sign the admin fix letter.
Members are running marathons for IVs funds - some members are travelling to various cities to run for fund raising
One extremely dedicated member had a fast food stall during a festival and donated all the money to IV.
A lot of us have suffered with getting wrongful denials when we used AC21 - we started a campaign - but it just never picked up - some hundred letters went out to USCIS - and were ignored and we still see the same thing happening.
How much can the same people keep doing things again and again. We do need more help. IV is nothing but you and me and all of us.
For folks who are not happy with the visa bulletin. here is the reason why dates are not moving forward. USCIS are getting approvable cases with older priority dates and as they keep exhausting visas dates will not move forward. How the hell can USCIS get cases prior to 2001 ? The sad reality is - there are many cases - they could be "future employment, consular processing, labor subsitution, straight cases, cases lying withiout being adjudicated for various reasons ...... " as long as USCIS can get old cases to approve, dates will not move forward. If USCIS is sitting idle with no old cases, then DOS will move the date forward.
How can we resolve the above? Infighting won't help. We must unite and get our issues resolved. We must work towards admin fixes, we must work towards recapture, we must work towards other positive things that helps us.
Are we ready for helpingh ourselves? Lets stop infighting. Lets all join hands and help ourselves. Can we?
We need some new generation members who can help us. Let all members pledge - we are all united - we will come out of our shelles - we will not do infighting - we will not blame others for issues tht we all face
Remember what Mahatma Gandhi said " Lets not blame others for weaknesses we all possess"
