So much for increase in fee and supposed increase in efficiency!
May be double the fee justifies 'card production ordered' alert twice....
I e-filed renewal EAD on 5/27, had FP on 6/23 and still waiting any followup action.
With every passing day it looks like USCIS is terribly confused on how to go about per recent 2-yr validity :
1. To approve: 2-yr EAD for those who are not current
2. To approve: 1-yr EAD for those who are current and might get GC in a yr
3. to issue GC instead of EAD for those who are current/ripe/ low-hanging-fruits (I-140 approved/cases processed/no problems)
But, this looks like too much ask for USCIS. They are used to do simple things like: approve or deny and approving everyone for a sinlge time duration.
Let us hope for the best and see what happens in the coming week.

I filed for my wife's EAD in the late May (e-file TSC).
Receipt date is May 29th.
Soft LUD on June 6th
FP done on June 21st
no updates, no changes after that. there is no LUD after FP. It's been 66 days since filed. Does any one know if I can take Infopass appointement before I complete 90 days of pending status and see what's going on? Or do I have to wait until 90 days are complete? any experiences?
EFiled on 29th May and still waiting. Opened a SR yesterday and lets see what happens.
The good thing is now we are seeing some approvals, so i think everything is back moving again.
GO IV GO.
How to open the SR akhilmahajan? Is it same as the Infopass appointment?
Also, there is no LUD after FP in my case. Does that mean that TSC has not received FP results yet? The post by kartikiran on the same page shows that FP was done on 5/13 but the LUD was on 7/20 when TSC received FP. I suspect the same has happened in my case. Should I check with the FP office?
please give your thoughts..

There are 13 guys voted "NO". May I know why. These guys already got approval or what? If so, Please remember this voting is only for people are struck in Perm process.
Its a stupid poll, there will be people lurking around selection 'No' or 'Maybe' as an answer just for fun. We just need to count by the number of people posting Audit details. Poll does not make any sense to me OR we just need 1 answer: Yes:p

If they accept all 500k I-485 application. They will have more than 140k cases eligible for approval every year. I don�t see any visas will get wasted.
I agree, i am afried that this is going to back fire and would let USCIS waste visa numbers and we all can continue our wait ever after. Nice job

Started new process with same employer in September 2010
Applied PERM in Jan 2011 and got approved in 10 days
Applied I-140 in April 2011 and got approved in one week
Priority date recaptured and I-140 has the old priority date (Sep 2004) and same A# as previous one
Opened SR with USCIS on May 6th 2011
Informed customer service that my Priority date is outside normal processing time
Received an e-mail after couple of days "There are no visas available to process your I-485 application. Your priority date is EB3 September 2004 which is later that the cut-off listed on the visa bulletin for your preference. Thank you for your time. This inquiry will be considered closed."
Replied to the USCIS e-mail(tsc.ncscfollowup) attaching the I-140 copy and asking them to upgrade my case from EB-3 to EB-2
Got the magic e-mail on May 17th 2011 and also reply for my e-mail

WOW!!.. whats a response.. Keep going..
At the same time, keep trying yourselves also by whatever means possible. Totoro is trying so hard for us, and even if we have five guys like this with such contacts, yet the efforts are not sufficient. We must also help ourselves by our individual efforts like writing to change.gov etc.. Lets not put all the 6 pages of ideas in just one basket. Since there is difference between eggs and ideas, duplicate the ideas and put them in other ways also, apart from just here.
Totoro,
Thanks for your efforts.
We all missed one point. Can you please update your profile.
Are Canadians also backlogged in this mess.
And you said "As some of you know...." . Were you try in these lines before too.
Canadians don't have as many problems as Indians, but a broken system doesn't work for anyone. I know of Canadians who are also very frustrated with the system, myself included.

Pasadena congressman Adam Schiff from CA supports legal immigration. I received an email from him recently stating the same.
"In considering immigration reform, Rep. Schiff has repeatedly stated that he does not believe in amnesty for undocumented aliens, but he does believe that those who have been living in this country -- working and paying taxes -- should be given an opportunity to embark on a lengthy and hard-earned path to citizenship. However, he has made it clear that he does not support immigrants who are here illegally being rewarded for breaking our laws by jumping ahead of those who have sought to enter this country legally."
--C.
Okay, apart from Rep. Lofgren:
1. Pasadena congressman Adam Schiff from CA
2. Sen. Cantwell
3. Sen. Cornyn
Who others should we write to? Is there some IV thread that metions all these names?
Thanks!

I am writing to the local congressmen, to request USCIS to apply the spillover visas to EB cases with older priority date first (irrespective of it's category or country). I hope this will help, if lot of these local congressmen/women contact USCIS to handle this spillover in a fair manner, allocating to older priority date cases first irrespective of category or country. All EB3 folks please take some time and do the same writing to your congressmen about this issue.

Hi Folks,
My PD is current but my lawyer is saying that I CANNOT file I-485.
Reason:
My labor cert / EB2 was originated in Illinois and then amended for Virginia by G-28.
Since my labor cert approval, i moved to Califonia - same job, same company.
Now my lawyer is saying that I need to go back to Virginia so i can apply for I-485.
Question:
1. Do i have to go back to the same state/location at I-485 filing stage where my Labor was originally approved?
2. Doesnot Green Card is for a future job?
3. Can i file I-485 while I am in California and my labor was approved for VA?
Please advise - thanks

Mr East India is so EB2 intelligent that he does not hesitate to give a lecture to the dull EB3 guys. Here is a lecture to you from a lowly EB3 worker. He pompously states that it is the job requirements that classifies the job as EB2. But completely glosses over the facts that most of EB2 job certified as such, really do not require a mandatory Masters degree. This is where the slick lawyers come into play by tailoring the job as EB2. Most of the American colleagues of the so called EB2 advanced skill "inventor" do not have a Masters degree doing the same job. Also, most of the Masters required job ads are found especially in our nurturer of highly skilled programming "job shops".

It is just not enough to add a new member to IV. In my opinion, we also need the new member to be proud of associating himself/herself with IV.
Here is what every new member needs to be made aware of-
- What IV has achieved in the last year of existence?
(Manager's amendment, media interviews including the Reuters article plus the last minute attempts in the lame-duck session)
- IV is the **only** grass-roots organization in the US working towards issues of Skilled Legal Immigration. The affected people in retrogression runs close to a million.
The thing I am driving at is that new members join and do not persist with IV because they have not been made aware of what IV is and what it has achieved.
It is not about IV core members alone, the issues at hand are affecting YOU!!!!
well said.

Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
Dont worry. If your LC still in BEC with old PD you are more luckier than the guys going to file 485 now. DOL commited to clear backlong by Sep 2007. Oct VB will come up with priority dates in stone age. If your PD is very old you will get GC with in 6 months. Filing 485 in July and Aug with very new PD will not bring them any fruit. They have to wait more years. 750K 485 and 750K EAD and 750K AP will result in choking the CIS system. They will feel the challange of renewal on time.
I am very conficent that USCIS is not going to process all 750K at a time. They will definitly modify the processing method, fom current practice. First, they can not schudle FP for all 750K applicants in available ASC centers. So, they will sort the 485 based on PD, and process tham based on PD and country and catagory wise. A guy with PD 2007, will not get FP notice very near to his PD become current.
so, you will be in better shape.
