I am very confused. First they retrogress and then they make it unavailable. How could they be in the dark with regards to the number of "approvable" applications!!!:mad:
The fact remains that there is no structured information available to anyone (even USCIS or DOS themselves) on Priority Dates. It is nothing more than a date written in ink on paper applications. Cutoff date movements are purely based on guess work. Centers work on cases in order they physically receive them (irrespective of their PD's). While approving if they find PD is not current, case is put aside and next one is taken up. In the past cutoff dates in July-Sep period were moved forward so that "put aside" are minimized (thereby maximizing efficiency), else their bosses will question for not using all visas.
Systems are not designed for managing cases based on PD's, hence the hotch potch we see.

Your wife should be good to stay with your change of employer upto the date mentioned in her current I-94.
I have been in your stage. I changed my employer last year. I asked same question to my attorney from my wife. Attorney said that there is no need to apply for another H4 because of mine change of the employer.
We went this year to india there was no issue to get the new visa stamped on our passport.
Note: I am not an attorney and sharing my experience with you. Please take a legal advice from attorney.

Hi All,
I just got mail from my employer and atorney stating my perm got approved and they received the approval notice. There was no aduit and it was EB2 filed on 02/07/2008.
Still I would take steps as planned for others. I understand the pain of waiting without reason. I will update you guys about discussion with Mr.Gotcher tomorrow.
Thanks a lot for all your supports in this.

Do you need to be married at the time of applying I-140 to get GC in the same application ?
My question is when is the latest that one can get married so as to get his/her spouse a GC on the same application.

Perhaps we can refer USCIS to some of the rogue lawyers we deal on a daily basis. They will have to talk to the lawyer's paralegal, get an appointment to talk to the lawyer after 48 hours and get a lousy half ass written response prepared and that too a week late.

coopheal ,
I have been contributing. Even for the latest Capitol Hill effort I did call my friends and they did contribute. I have the numbers. I myself contributed 100$. I would have spent at least 8 hours making calls and making my friends contribute $. I never gave up on that. But still I do not get enough motivation to keep this doing. I have collected around 200$ at my work for meeting the lawmakers effort but returned the money to individuals. I am sure it would have ended up helping EB2.
reddymjm,
I participated in IV lobby day. Myself along with other IV members presented the talking points to lawmakers. One thing I can say for sure is those materials didn't have a single line for EB2 alone. IV's strategy is to strive for common solutions which would benefit every one.

My labor certification (Traditional EB-3) is stuck in BEC since last 5 years. It is completely beyond my understanding why it took so long for BEC to process my case. Now everyone is rejoicing USCIS's decision to accept all green card applications, but I am paralyzed with the fear of facing another huge backlog on I-485 applications. One government agency sits on our applications for years and another government agency throws us further back in the line to cover up its blunders and guess what who pays the price: WE RULE-ABIDING, LINE-WAITING FOLKS.
Even if I get my labor approval before September, I will be among the last persons to get labor certification in spite of being the one with the earliest priority date. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than suing DOL BEC at this time. We may not sue DOL on their inability to clear the backlogs, but we can definitely sue them in their utter disregard to FIFO procedures (mind that some people with priority dates in 2004, 2005 have already got their labor certifications, but some with priority dates in 2001, 2002 are still stuck). When I read on their web site that they have tried to maintain FIFO, it makes me feel like puking.
I am also disappointed with IV's attitude towards the backlog victims. I do not remember anything concrete done by IV to address the grievances of backlog victims. Now that they have won the battle with USCIS, will they have time to look at us?
:mad: :mad:
did your company receive the 45 day letter that they sent for all BEC cases.
did they give the letter to you , it might have been possible that either they did'nt receive the letter completely or they might be with-holding information from you
what does your case status say
you must have seen that i am waiting since the last 10 years, since their processing is so random that there's nothing that you can do . The worst thing that you can do is feel bitter about others who are getting benefited.
you have to fell happy for others that they are able to get out of the un-desirable situation that all of us are in.

So you will be on H1 till conclusion. Best Luck.
Yes, I dont really see that as a problem right away (though I am aware of the risks!). I have completed only 4 years of my H1B and with approved I140, I should be able to extend another 3 years, (if required).
BharatPremi, do you know if one can have both 485 and CP processes simultaneously?
I am just wondering if I could file 485 (if my PD becomes current and stays current only for a short period as it happened in July) and have my CP case also alive.
My CP case is already in Consulate (after processing Form 230) which means I am just awaiting an interview. 485 is to safeguard my GC against any unforeseen odds and risks. Is that possible?
Or, can I file another LC (under EB2) and once I140 is approved (using prior PD), can I interfile (in CP)?
I just wanted to have the safety net that 485 provides or move to EB2 so that interview can be expected in the next year or so -if my new I140 is approved by then!
Any recommendations and is this technically possible?

Your wife may file for H4 without a lawyer. It costs $250 and I did it once. No issues at all, very simple and straight forward form / procedure.
Although not necessary to file H4 transfer )as this is not linked to employer directly but rather the H1 holder), it may become important when you leave US for visit home.

From last two days I am also getting the Payment Processing error when i use the credit card option and called the Customer service, they informed send an email to E-filing.support@dhs.gov and sent an email yesterday and still didn't receive any response back. Today When i try to goto login page, now i am getting "Server is currently unavailable or down for maintenance".
Same here, I think, it took two days for USCIS E-filing support team that payment server is not working. I interpret the message "Server is currently unavailable or down for maintenance" as now the problem would be fixed.
This is a Good News. Thanks

Well I had called a NY congresswoman when I was stuck in a H1 name check. I found them open and willing to help. She even contacted the FBI.
Well I am just an ordinary person, and the same as everyone here, and not saying I will do everything myself. There are persons who are better skilled at this and know the immigration law better.
Also don't rule out lobbying, I just said we also need something else that should justify our case without a lobby. I'm asking for suggestions or ideas.
I may be new here, If you see my post on the other forum, I'm asking for the creation of an organization with skilled people who will create a new campaign among legal immigrants. Kind of like Grass roots movement.
I saw that. Looks like you are trying to pimp for a lawyer. Learn to stand on your own 2 feet first.
All you have done is made a phone call to a lawmaker office. Before you start a poll go and meet your lawmaker and learn how to talk to lawmakers. That will be a good start.
