just changed job and Sep 18th was my first day at new job. Because of some silly mistakes of paralegal from previous company I have to restart my GC journey from scratch ...:(. Actually I do not need GC just need EAD for my wife.
Contribution til date:
1> Introduced 4-5 friends and they are now IV members ..
2>I tried to motivate friends to participate in rally who really wants to settle down here(Due to family reason I am not planning to settle down in US.).
3>I have been in constant touch with my senator Mr. Kohl(from WI) and his Immigration department. (His immigration department helped me a lot for my mom's visitor visa.)

yes I 140 has been approved in Feb o7.
Let me wait for actual denial letter.
It seems that is the best option at this point for me.
- Thanks
Looks like USCIS is sending more denial letters on AC21 cases these days, a lot of VOs may not have been trained on AC21.
I took infopass this week to find out status of my case (AC21 responded to NOID and case reopened and lot of soft LUDs) - the VO was trying to be judgemental instead of looking at computer and answer my question. She said "If you change job and 140 is revoked, there is no way your 485 will get approved" and when I insisted her to look at computer and let me know status, after some nagging, she looked and told me case is pending and NC cleared and I will receive a decision sometime but not very soon.
Believe me, a lot of VOs do not know AC21 stuff.

You have a great plan, come to US on H1 and within 6 months get EAD and you are free from H1b crackdown by jumping to EAD. You think USCIS, Grasley, sanders, and anti eb folks are a bunch of idiots, they will send you and me packing with the same rfe they are hitting h1 folks with if everybody gets to pre file AOS and get EAD. that is why you need to strengthen ac21 by removing same\semilar job condition and other potential h1 like rfe's, otherwise you will drag us down along with you and turn ead into h1.
How tough it is to get PERM approval nowadays with the economy being what it is. Previously we had some reasonable times, but now every application is being scrutinized closely. It's not as easy as 6 months after landing in the US to get PERM approval and be able to file for EAD.
Your arguments have a flavor of "Let me in and shut the door". So please go away and start your own thread for reforming AC21.

Reform Immigration: While highly skilled immigrants have contributed in beneficial ways to our domestic technology industry, there are plenty of Americans who could be filling those positions given the proper training. Barack Obama is committed to investing in communities and people who have not had an opportunity to work and participate in the Internet economy as anything other than consumers. Most H-1B new arrivals, for example, have earned a bachelor’s degree or its equivalent abroad (42.5%). They are not all PhDs. We can and should produce more Americans with bachelor’s degrees that lead to jobs in technology. A report of the National Science Foundation (NSF) reveals that blacks, Hispanics, and Native Americans as a whole comprise more that 25% of the population but earn, as a whole, 16% of the bachelor degrees, 11% of the master’s degrees, and 5% of the doctorate degrees in science and engineering. We can do better than that and go a long way toward meeting industry’s need for skilled workers with Americans. That being said, we do not want to shut our doors to innovators from overseas, who have traditionally helped make America strong. Barack Obama supports comprehensive immigration reform that includes improvement in our visa programs, including our legal permanent resident visa programs and temporary programs including the H-1B program, to attract some of the world’s most talented people to America. We should allow immigrants who earn their degrees in the U.S. to stay, work, and become Americans over time. And we should examine our ability to increase the number of permanent visas we issue to foreign skilled workers. Obama will work to ensure immigrant workers are less dependent on their employers for their right to stay in the country and would hold accountable employers who abuse the system and their workers.

These small movements does'nt make much difference. It may get retrogressed any time.
I feel DOS / USCIS /Nclex are trying to attract new applicants. This year very few had taken Nclex. These people are in greed of money, they are even planning to increase fee for green card.
This is my view

Ask yourself a question. If you were running a big business - whom would you prefer -- GC Employees or H1-B Employees.
What may be good for us may not be good for the other side.
Well depends on the job I want to get done. New Internatinal graduates come with less salary, more enthusiam, are hardworking and would go out of their way to get some work done.
In addition to that if I have a constant supply of H1Bs why would I want to spend more money on high salary & more perks if I can train newbies in 6 months.

The SKIL bill was introduced in the Senate in May by Senator John
Cornyn (R-
TX) and was subsequently incorporated into the Comprehensive
Immigration Act
of 2006. We discussed its effects on the H-1B and EB categories in the
June
2006 issue of SHUSTERMAN'S IMMIGRATION UPDATE. See
http://shusterman.com/toc-siu.html
Although the legalization and guest worker provisions of the Senate
bill
have been written off by many pundits, we believe that there is an
excellent
chance that some version of the SKIL bill will be enacted into law
before the
end of 2006.

Alongwith permission for H4 to work, there are several other problems that legal immigrants face in USA. However, lets face it ... its always a small set of people who are fighting for their green cards. After a prolonged wait, once they get the GC, they move on with their life, forgetting their own ordeal in the past, and ignoring the future problems of fresh GC aspirants in the queue.
Even the fresh GC aspirants who come to USA on H1/L1 visa, do not understand the importance of staying on top of their GC application and start organizing themselves. Mostly they realize the gravity of situation couple of year after their arrival, and start venting their anger and frustation on immigration forum like this.
A majority of immigrants think that the immigration doors should shut down immediately after they get their GC's. This transformation takes place overnight. I have never heard that from such a large population of immigrants who are settled in USA, anyone ever raised their voice supporting the legal immigration.
Lets face it ... its an unjust world ... we have lots of problems as far as legal immigration is concerned. But how many of us who are boiling with frustation here, will ever work and spend our time and energy on immigration related issues once we get the green card/citizenship?
BTW, I am just throwing some light on the basic root cause of this problem... no war of words please ... just peace.
Just think, it will be hard for a GC holder to continue the fight. After waiting for many frustrating years, he will just want to put the unpleasant thoughts behind and move on, and make up for all the lost years, they will have other things to do. That�s the reality, you got to fight for yourself along with people who are in the same situation as you.

When M.K.Gandhi held his first rally against the British rulers(nothing personal here Franklin and Mark ), it did not result in immediate freedom, but was it worthless ?
May be we need to be more sensational like Gandhi to cause the desired impact. Gandhi burned the SA ID cards during the first rally. May be we should have burned our H-1Bs...:-) But I guess this is the extreme we can go to considering the vested interests we have in staying in this country. I believe this will be a slow and long struggle!

My understanding is they wait until last quarter to give the spill over. But this time they started giving the numbers in 3rd quarter itself. Keep in mind EB1 is current and Eb2 except I and C is still current.
I expect to see at least 20k visa's issued to EB2 I and C.
EB2 China wont take much visas because EB2 china PD cut off date was already Jan 2006 a year back. So it takes its reguler 9,800 visas for this 2008 fiscal year.

Hi gps001,
I have same question. I filed I-485+AP+EAD in July fiasco, after one year renewed I-131 (paid the fee then). I remember from that time that I do not have to pay the fee again to renew it. But in the e-file form I am not seeing option to get the waiver. Now I am doubting whether 2nd renewal is free or not?

Based on the reply to this FOIA from Needhelp!, it seems that we have a bigger problem than transparency.
They have said that country of chargeability is not assigned until case is ready for approval. However, whether or not a case is ready for approval is determined by country of chargeability. If you have 500,000 pending cases and dont know how many cases for each country of chargeability, then the only way to respond to a visa bulletin is to go thru all 500,000 cases every month, take a peek in it, look at the PD, look at the country and see if it is up for approval. I dont think they are doing that.
Also, if priority date is something that is different for different countries, then cases for those countries have to be sorted by priority date in different silos, so that when the next bulletin comes, you know how many cases are eligible that month and which ones are the earliest cases (from PD perspective) for each country.
Their systems are not designed for country chargeability and priority date considerations. Although some of the information is in computer systems for reporting, publication, online status, automatic emails, etc, most of it is paper based. They claim that they process cases in order they (physically) receive them at each processing center.
Possibly, what they do is that they pick cases from shelves in sequence they stacked when they received them, check various docs such as medical, birth certificates, copie of I-140, passports, etc., and then, if all ok, check for country of chargeability. If that is India or China, then they look at the current bulletin dates. If case is within cutoff dates, proceed, else put it back, and take next file.
Therefore, they are correct in saying that chargeability is determined (means: looked at) when case is ready (meaning: it is next in line) for reviewing and adjudication.
Note that there is no physical file sorting based on chargeability/PD etc. Bulletins are just best guesses based on general progress in preceding months.

Let us not also forget that current estimates are that there are 1.1 million applications pending at all stages of the green card process. Notwithstanding the new additions each year.
Not looking quite so quick still, I remain unconvinced that things will speed up.
Is this an estimate for EB or for all green card applications? Because I absolutely do not believe this is the number. There is just no about H1Bs issued to produce this number.
