:)Our check was cashed today 08/22
We paid with one check for: two I-485�s, and two EAD�s. In little space on the check where it says �for� I wrote fees. So, just want to let you know from my experience that, obviously, it does not matter if you paid with one check for all forms and applicants (in our case total was $1,150) or with separate checks for each application.
Our details:
PD � Aug., 2005
EB-3 ROW
I-485, EDA � reached TSC on Jul. 2nd
Check cashed � 08/22
Called Bank of America and got all 4 case numbers from the back of the check.
Checked INS website � applications were received on Aug. 21st and currently pending.
Receipts were mailed .
All applications were prepared and sent by lawyer, so I don�t know exact time when they reached INS or who signed for it.
Good luck everybody !

I applied for my H1B 9th year extension using I-140 substitution in 10th March 2008. My 8th year H1B was expired on 14th April 2008. Currently my 9th year H1B extension was is in pending status. Unfortunately my I-140 was denied on 18th April 2008 due to 4 years Bachelors degree.
I used PERM EB2 labor substitution (May 2006 PD) and filed I-140 in July 2007 and denied (NSC) directly with out RFE. This is due to 4 years bachelor's degree and I have 10+2+3(Diploma) +3 (engineering-AMIE). I already applied my 485, EAD and AP. I got AP and EAD, but didn’t use it. I have 12 years of experience before prior to the EB2 Labor Pirority Date.
Now how can I get my 9th year extension?
Can I appeal for I-140 and get 9th year H1B extension?
Could you please give me your valuable suggestions on this?
Thanks,
Naga

Just a bump...and my two cents.
I don't own a D70, I have 10D but...I work in a local camera shop and sell D70's, left and right I might add. I'm hearing quite a bit about this backfocusing issue but nobody seems to be referring to it in the same manner. Most people are just saying their images are soft. At first it seemed like the problem was mainly happening for the people who were used to P/S cameras or simply not used to Nikon's AF system, so we basically gave suggestions similar to what you find here and told them that they could still return the cameras to Nikon if they were in warranty. Anyway, my one co-worker that doesn't shoot Canon buys a D70 and sure enough, he's complaining about soft focus. At middle apertures (on the kit lens, mind you) like 5.6 and 8 his images look sorta acceptable, but not tack sharp. We tried out the 12-24 and got better results (maybe just a sharper lens overall?), as well as with the 10mm fisheye, and of course all of the longer zooms, 80-200, and 200-400 were sharp. Could it just be that the kit lens, which nearly everyone has is just garbage? This guy is now seriously considering the 20D.

I think it will effect cases that are not adjudicated also. However u better check with ur lawyer.
Typically, any new regulations will affect new petitions, historically USCIS did not touch past cases for any new regulation changes.
But you are right, it doesn't hurt to check with our attorneys.

We see a lot of these articles every day praising illegal immigration. How about creating a google group with volunteers that will pick up such similar articels and post a rebuttal, either online or through another website?
The one we discussed yesterday was about how illegals contribute to the economy by paying $1.5 Billion in income tax for an estimated 15-20 million illegals.
This was estimated from the 2010 Census data.
We could initially post these rebuttals online on probably a section of the IV website and also send it to other news sites.
People who are good at parsing excel/MDB, csv sheets will be useful.
Most people are not aware of our issues and contributions to society.
Good idea.
What we need is:
1- A document about the economic impact legal immigrants are making (H1, L1, EAD etc). It should include estimates of Federal, state, SS tax and sales taxes. You can also include estimates how we can impact economy by buying houses. Use the research document used by another organization someone posted yesterday to understand how such documents are written. Get some number crunchers and people with good writing skills in your team. There was a google group created by GC_peshwa yesterday. I think this group could do such proactive work. Set your timelines and work on it. You can post updates of your group on the forum so that others know about it and can join if interested. Once you finish the document, it can be sent as a release and also sent to reporters and lawmakers.
2. This group can also work on your idea from the post by posting on other news sites.
I think these are the kind of action items our community must be doing proactively. What we see on forums and websites are people wasting time on trackers, useless discussions on anti H4, EB2EB3, Andhra, spillover fights, pulling each other down etc. Such shameful posts either shows that these people do not really care about greencard issue or are just plain ignorant. Very rarely do we see someone thinking beyond their own case and PD. This is the main reason in my opinion why everyone is suffering from backlogs. It is not the fault of USCIS or government or any one else. The reason is each one of us that thinks narrowly and has chosen to accept the problem rather than doing something about it. As IV members it is our responsibility to help make people aware and urge them to work together on something meaningful that would help the community.
Thanks for taking this initiative. Good luck. Let us know whenever you need help. Others that are interested should express interest on the thread and join the group.

pd_recapturing
10-19 01:35 PM
According to what I have read - porting of PD can be done at 2 stages
1. At the time the second I-140 is applied or,
2. When one applies for the I-485.
So you should be fine going by #2. Not an attorney, just like you all - a GC aspirant commenting on his research.
My question is the same that you raised earlier - the Memo states that the PD has to be current when interfiling. But in the case of pd_recapturing, his PD is May 04 which is not current - EB2 for India is Apr 04 (my assumption being that pd_recapturing is from India.)
My case is exactly as pd_recapturing, waiting for the approval of my second I-140 to see if the date got ported or not (we had requested during filing of second I-140). After the approval, I was thinking of waiting for my PD to be current before filing.
pd_recapturing - we'll be following your lead to see how your case turns out.
Thanks.
Gene
According to my lawyer, mine is a simple case of updating I-485 file with a different I-140 so there is no need to wait PD to be current. And also it makes sense to me as I am not applying a new I-485 to wait for PD to be current. They will anyway touch my AOS when PD will be current. Right now, they will have to update my I-140 with the existing I-485. And moreover, my case is not a PD change, instead, its a EB category change. What do you guys think ?

Some Background:
My employer filed for my residency in 2008. Per my employer, my PD is Jan 2008 and my I140 has been approved. My 6th year on H1B will be over in August 2011.
My questions to Attorney Reddy are as follows:
1. Can I switch employers now and retain my old PD?
2. Since I do not have a copy of the I140, would the employer be able to withdraw my I140 application?
3. Will I be able to get a 3 year extension on my H1B with the new employer based on my approved I140?
Please let me know. And many thanks to Ms. Reddy for providing this great service to the immigrant community :)

There is no such thing as a cooperative employer in this economy. I will give you an example, recently in my wife's company they had advertised for a genuine job and on the first day they recieved 200 applications!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. The hr after one week has not been able to review just the first day responses. because of situation like this no company is willing to even file for eb3 labor leave alone eb2. Because they cannot justify a perm labor when they are recieving dozens if not hundreds of resumes. It is because of situations like this that labor department is becoming stricter and stricter by the day. The post below seems to suggest even if you get audited you will get approved in 1.5 to 2 years. In this environment where unemployment is rampant there is very little chance of success in getting perm approval even in eb3 so dont be under any illusion that no matter what perm would be approved. It will not be approved under current market conditions because of hundres of resumes to perm advertisemsnts. it is because of this reason that a vast majority of companies have decided not to sponsor green cards. there is no such thing as a "coperative employer" in this economic conditions. Companies are being forced to send employees away from US because there 6 years of h1 are comming to an end and they are not able to file green card in this economic conditions.
OP - If you have a cooperative employer, I would say go for it. Given the rate at which EB2-I is progressing, you will get GC much sooner although the PERM process for EB2 may take a long time. Assuming you get an audit on your PERM, even if the entire process takes 1.5 years, you can get your 140 in PP and once your PD is ported, you are current. Even if the entire process takes 2 years (worst case), it's worth the effort. EB3-I will move at a very slow pace. As others suggested, you wont see significant movement till EB2-I is current.
Financially, the porting would make a lot of sense too. Assuming a family of 2, you are spending close to $1000 (or even more) per year on the AP and EAD renewals, not to mention the employer's cost of renewing the H1. When you go to your HR for starting the EB2 process, you want to put it in terms of how it's financially viable for the company. When you do the math, it's a win win for both the employer and the employee in the long run if you get the GC earlier.
I'd say go for it. Good luck!

It's just a caution. Some people would like to take it slowly but surely, some people love to run fast with a risk of stumbling in the middle. Whichever you go, the finish line is always the same.
All I am saying is if you wish the fast route with the risk of stumbling, then go for it. If not, try the slow but sure route.

Nice of you abhijitp, I amd northwest part of country won't be able to make it , But I am telling my friends in Tri-State and VA to attend that
Not to single you out, but why aren't people from the West willing to attend the rally?
1. Too much workload (cannot afford to take even 1 day off)
2. Cannot afford flying into DC, accomodation, etc.
3. I didn't attend the SJ rally, what will they say if I attend the DC rally;)
4. DC Rally is a waste of time, I do not support it
5. I don't have to have a green card, I can live without it, for the next 10 years!
6. I am happy to eat the fruit of someone else's hardwork, I don't want to put in any hardwork myself
Answers:
1. Oh come on, how do you then keep browsing IV for so many hours?
2. We may be able to help you... go here:

3. Don't worry, as soon as you attend the DC rally, you will have washed all your sins in the past:)
4. Thank you... but why are you even reading this?
5. Great... maybe you should ask your spouse and children too... how long do you want them to go through all that they go through... because of your temporary status
6. I envy you... for I cannot even imagine thinking like you! But please at least thank IV when you receive the fruit of its hardwork!

An interview does not mean approval. This is just part of CIS pre-processing cases when the PD is not current. They will interview the applicant, process it and then throw it into storage.
About 5% of cases are randomly selected for interviews. This does not mean that they are out to approve a 2007 case ahead of a 2001 case.
