If nothing else, this attorney deserves a medal for at least communicating with his clients.
We'll believe what we want to believe. Since the grand goal for many of us here is to get an EAD for dear spouse, here's some contextual Balzac: "There are no small matters for the heart. It magnifies everything. It weighs the fall of a woman's glove and the fall of a 14 century old empire on the same scales. And almost always the glove weighs more." (Apologies if I don't remember the words exactly. It's translated, anyway.)
Boy did you express it well or what? Here is the translated quote I found "There are no little events with the heart. It magnifies everything; it places in the same scales the fall of an empire of fourteen years and the dropping of a woman's glove, and almost always the glove weighs more than the empire'. Could not have expressed it any better.;)

I always tried to keep my life not effected by GC even used AC21 to change company, but at this time i am really frustated as I am losing many opportunites which are directly related to my GC.
I don''t feel America is an immigrant country any more we may well be make an history here as the first batch of legal immigrants returning back to our own country.
It is naive to think that law makers does not understand our plight, they are very well aware, they just need more H1bs, temp workers program to bring in slaves to work for their benifit

Very good reference. I think we need to include this in our agenda for the phase 2 campaign.
You have rasied very valid point and Canada credit 50% of the time before getting PR there. But I don't think this is so easy to get due to chain migration fear.

If USCIS is planning on using up all 40K by July 2, and not accepting applications why would they put out a memo like this?
questions are never ending, the only thing in our control is to push our lawyer to file asap.

USCIS to Suspend Premium Processing for All I-140 Petitions Beginning July 2
06/28/2007
In a press release issued today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that it will impose a temporary suspension of premium processing services for all Form I-140 immigrant worker petitions from July 2, 2007 to August 1, 2007. Premium services are being suspended because USCIS expects a surge of I-140 filings beginning on July 2, when immigrant visa priority dates become current for nearly all employment-based categories. The agency anticipates that, due to the high volume of filings, it will be unable to meet the 15-day processing goal of the service.
During the 30-day period, USCIS plans to review its decision to halt premium processing of I-140s, and could extend the suspension beyond August 1 if, due to its workload, the agency remains unable to guarantee 15-day processing. Note that premium processing services are currently suspended for I-140 petitions for which a labor certification substitution is being requested, pursuant to a new Department of Labor (DOL) regulation that prohibits substitution of labor certification beneficiaries beginning July 16, 2007.
1. I-140 processing times have been already adversely affected by almost everyone going in for premium processing... in one case (TSC, EB-3?) it went back to 2003
2. there would definitely be a surge in the I-140's beginning July-- many going in for Premium Processing, which would certainly slow them down, and perhaps, make it impossible to guarantee a 15 day response
3. possibly, they are helping speed up the AOS decisions by doing this
However, it sucks that they are doing something like this with a less than 1 week notice!

Another thing that I do:
Take printouts of http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=22&Itemid=36
the flyer is a word file and print several copies and keep it in your car. When you go for shopping, groceries, temples, etc... keep them in your hand and if you see someone like you .. (South Asian, Asian...) there is a chance they maybe retrogressed.
Give them the flyer.
Sometimes you will be pleasantly surprised to meet other fellow IV member and will make new friends.
Try this. It worked for me.

Thanks Lasantha for your reply. I am not sure if employer can call on my behalf and get an update on my application??. I did explain to my employer that to get an update I can call USCIS but they want an update from USCIS in writting to keep it on my employee file in the HR dept. I am not sure if USCIS will reply to the inquiry in writing or not. (I think by law, they have to, right??) what is the mailing address at NSC???
I filed for my I-485 myself without the help of a lawyer.
My employer (a small business) has never gone through the GC sponsorship before me and they are not familiar with the process.
I am not sure if a letter is going to help. I was going to suggest an SR but in your earlier post you said that your SR didn't work either. But if you are going to send a letter then I would suggest sending it to NSC. Your lawyer would have the address.
I also know that sometimes people write to their congressman asking him to look in to the case but I am not sure if that's a good idea.

There are just too many fond memories to share in one post... but I do want to specially thank leo2606 who drove 70 miles to pick up myself, venkygct, vsraja and punjabi at the Dulles airport and then took us out for breakfast, then to the rally venue, then for lunch, finally to a hotel room we had booked for a quick shower, basically... like a shadow he was with us wherever we wanted to go! And... whenever we thanked him (and gdhiren who co-ordinated pickups/dropoffs for many others like the 4 of us) these guys, instead of saying something like "You are welcome", would profusely thank us for flying in!
Its people... like leo2606 and gdhiren.. and many others are the true strength of IV!

Abhijit, great idea you brought your guitar along. It was good to hear some nice music at the rally. Thanks to you and Arun for driving & coordinating the sponsorships. Some good volunteers came out of that effort.

gc4me : Pardon me, but how is citizenship not a relevant issue to legal immigrants? If you're not worried about citizenship issues, then why are you even infesting this thread? Many people, including me, might be interested. And I have indeed contributed, although I don't see how that is any of your business and as long as this website isn't being hosted on your home computer, I don't see what gives you the right to ask it of anyone in a patronizing tone. It's simple really, if you're not interested in any issue, just stay away. No one needs your BS sarcasm or disapproval.
supplychainwallah : you seem to have pretty deep-rooted issues. I recommend you get some anger management counselling.
I totally second that. Saralayar has raised a very valid issue and its up to IV and core memebers to take it or not. Getting GC should not be the end of the story, we ought to think beyond that. had this GC process been consistant and FIFO, there would not have been any problem with the fact "citizenship after 5 years of GC". Now this GC thing is so screwed up, we might want to include citizen ship issue as well but definitely, at the very lowest priority.

Your lawyer will receive the approved doc
of around 8 pages. It will be mentioned some where I guess in the doc.
Is there any documents you will receive after your Perm has approved? And how can I know it's a EB2 perm or a EB3 perm?
Yes, I have some trusty issues with my employer and the attorney is hired by my employer. :mad:

I thought visa numbers are available equally per quarter and DOS is prevented from releasing numbers early. How can they say that all the visa numbers have been used (or will be used by April end)?
Q1: Oct-Dec
Q2: Jan-Mar
Q3: Apr-Jun
Q4: Jul-Sep
I think July visa bulletin would bring some good news when numbers for the last quarter along with the spill-over (if any), are released. If USICS is not as efficient we may even see some good advancement. Don't loose hope guys!!
In July EB2 movement is possible due to spillover. EB3, as they say, is all used up, so there will no spillover there.

From my experience with trying to convince EB applicants to join and contribute to IV, I get the impression that most of them suffer from a 'subsidy mentality' - they hope others' efforts and money will subsidise their GCs, just like their home countries subsidised their education. Sorry, that mentality just wont carry us too far in America, the temple of capitalism. It is up to us to solve our own problems - no one will feel sorry and wave the magic wand for us.

I have contacted congressmen and senators to try to highlight this issue and to be totally honest most of them have so little knowledge of immigration law they do not even understand the problem.
The CIS do not care, they follow the rules.
It is attention much higher up that is needed on Capitol Hill and someone who is willing to make it a REAL issue.
