Have you tried to reach the CIS via infopass? 'Aging out of children' is one of the extraordinary situations which can force the hands of CIS. It is on the USCIS guidelines. In your case, you can ALSO go to your congress members to look into this. Extraordinary situations require extraordinary responses. Good luck.
It is good to see the combined Immigration community efforts are bringing results. However, it appears that no attention is being paid to raise the issue of children ageing out because of visa retrogression and delay in labor clearance........

why do you say so??
Till early part of 2004 or latter part of 2003, most of the Indians applied EB3 very few applied EB2. After 2004, it was reverse. I doubt any one appled EB3 in 2005 0r 2006.
If EB3 stays continously in 2001 and EB2 in 2004 (there is 3 year difference in cutoff date between EB2 and EB3 now), the guys with EB3 PD 2002 and 2003 will convert to EB2 by applying new 140 to transfer PD. This flow will balance the cut-off dates. Eventually it will reach a common ground or a break-even point.

Retrogression in Various Steps of the GC process
While January 2005 was the first time since July 2001 there was retrogression for the EB-3 category (01/01/02 for both China and India), the US continues to maintain protectionism through their immigration system.
Retrogression in Labor Certification: Between 2002 and 2005, there was severe retrogression as far as labor certifications were concerned. Then came the PERM in March 2005 and for a couple of years, they boasted labor certification with 3 to 6 months time. Of late I think it is taking more than 6 months for LC approvals even through PERM.
Retrogression in I-140 Approvals: I do not remember when the USCIS suspended the premium processing for I-140 but even before they did that, they managed protectionism by delaying the approval of I-140. As per some one's posting, it is now taking 14 months for an I-140 approval.
Retrogression of I-485 Approvals: Post July 2007 VB, even a 1st year engineering student from India, studying the American immigration system, can tell you it could take years (not the current 6-9 months processing time) for approval of I-485s. The delay in approving an I-485 petition is not subject to the the July 2007 Visa Bulletin alone, it cannot also escape 'protectionism-tainted' FBI name check delay.
I may sound like quite a pessimist, but add to all this the possible denials for PLC (permanent labor certification), I-140, EAD, AP & I-485s.

On what basis does DOL pick a company for audit?
I think there is not really any basis for audit unless there is a big mistake in the filing.
I filed through a MNC which is a automotive company.
The other rumor I heard that DOL hired lots of new people and audit process was part of their training. Do not question me how far it is true..

I was under impression that being on H1b u cannot do intra-day trading.. you can do only routine trading (don't know exact term) in which u buy stock and keep it for some time and sell it .. generally 3-4 days..
while on H1-B status, one can do intra day trading in stocks, options, and/or futures, he/she can NOT claim trader status on federal tax return. Person on EAD can claim trader status and claim some trading related expenses to save tax on it.

For EB3 Folks with PD's in early - 2003- there are close to 8742 applicants in front of you That is a wait of 5 more years.
For EB3 Folks with PD's in mid 2003 and later - There are 14583 applicants in line before you- That is a wait of 10-12 more years.
Now the only way forward will be to lobby with IV for a legislative fix. Apart from that there is just no option, the sooner people realise that and help IV with advocacy, the better results we will get.

and what will this walk create awareness abt...during this period of recession and uncertanity???
hey white boy...help me get my GC..so that i can take ur job and u can go flip burgers !
Hi PointlessWait,
The three events we will be walking/running as a Team are about getting our organization's name out in the open. This can help increase membership and further financial support for IV. By getting our name out there, we are sure to encounter more legal immigrants who may not be aware of IV as a resource. Thus introducing them to IV and providing them with a support network for their future immigration issues.
I have introduced this concept to several of my friends all of whom are US Citizens and each of them support legal immigrants who are here in the US working honest, legal jobs. Each of them have already promised that they will join Team IV and support the fundraising of $300 per Individual Member to support IV's longterm lobbying efforts.
IV has had some very significant successes over the past year and your continued support via Team IV can help with IV's long term goals.
I hope you will join us in this campaign!:)
Thanks,
NolaIndian

Sent it the friday before hurricane Ike hit (Sep 12, 2008) and got the passport back Oct 02, 2008.
Normal processing (not tatkal)
Sent it from Florida
Was worried it might take months based on people complaining on the forums, but pleasantly surprised to receive it promptly.

Hi,
My 485 petition is with NSC. I opened an SR last month and got a rather uninformative response today. It does not tell me if my petition has been pre-approved or has even cleared the background check.
"
The status of this service request is: Your file is currently with the adjudications department, waiting on the availability of an officer to be assigned your pending case. Please allow at least another 90 days to hear something further on your application.
"
I think last month they were not working on Feb 06 cases and probably they have assigned your case to a officer by now ...just pray and hope to see approval soon

Im still waiting too. e-filed may 23rd. fp done on June 17th.
Expedite request denied, have an infopass appointment on August 14th. I will see what they will say
Getting too worried as my current ead is going to expire on Sep 19th.
Looking at the tracking it looks like TSC has started to work on all these pending cases. Hopefully our petitions get approved soon too
Will keep you posted
I have the very exact EAD expiry date. I think after 75 days you can open a SR and after 90 days we can try for interim EAD.. That's what I'm planning to do. Please keep me updated on your case and infopass appt

My understanding is that local office would not open a service request. But they could request interim EAD. Since they no longer produce it locally they have to request some service center to issue one.
