I think they have different rules(for themselves) for AP and EAD. As my AP was approved for from the date of expiry....That's ridiculous. Forget abt the 2 year EAD that you didn't get, you also lost 3 months? They probably hired some part time workers for last weekend who might have screwed up. I did some research before and am pretty sure they started issuing documents with a start after expiry of the first one a long time ago. Even on our AP's which were approved, the start date was september 2008. I got them mid -may..

Thank you all very much. Truly appreciate for providing all the necessary web links. Definitely I'd take the extra effort to complain to the Gov. of India and also start knocking on the doors.
Thanks to you all once again.
By the way, I was referring to Embassy of India, Washington DC.

I have really had good experiences when i renewed my passport, my wifes passport and also when i applied for my childrens PIO card. On each ocassion the documents arrived before time and the service at the SFO consulate was great when i called them with a concern. On all 4 ocassions i use the $20 option to get the document by Fedex. We spend thousands on the recurring nightmare at USCIS, $20 for peace of mind is not a big deal.
I have also observed that we tend to get overly agressive when we talk to indian govt officials here. I think we expect bad service and we mentally prepare ourselves to fight. I am not saying that all do this but some of my friends did concur with the thought. There are many geuine cases where there is a problem, as some desi govt officers are sticklers for making sure that forms are in 'order'.:D

Vinn,
Here are just a few that I can think of rightaway.
1. Once shifted to EAD you loose opportunity to renew or apply for a new H1B if you have not completed six years though.
2. You have to apply for EAD renewal every year and much in advance. H1Bs are issues for 3 year periods.
3. Suppose there is a delay in getting the renewal, you are NOT allowed to work until the renewal comes through. Renewal duration depends on the work load.
4. Fee of EAD is being hiked to $340 per year.
5. Couple of my EAD starting date was the approval date even though the current EAD had not exipred effectively loosing couple of months validity each time.
6. Due to some issues if I-485 gets revoked the EAD/AP are invalidated the very next moment and you accumulate illegal stay and would not have time to get the process going.
On the other hand having a H1B you can apply for EAD any time or not even apply if you have sufficient validity on it. Suppose the I-485 gets rejected you can reapply for a new one or from an another employer and still work/live legally in the US.
EAD allows you to work any type/number of jobs that is the big PLUS though!
TIA

Please find out the visa numbers allotment for EB1, EB2 and EB3 till now. Till now there is about 100k visa numbers allotment for EB3 every year due to the vertical fallout. From now on there would be around 100K allotment in EB2 due to the change to Horizontal Fall out of visa numbers. Out of these 100k EB2 visa numbers, India will get greatest share of around 50k + visas. Please see the below.
Type and class of admission 1998-- 1999-- 2000-- 2001-- 2002-- 2003-- 2004-- 2005-- 2006-- 2007
Employment-based preferences 77,413-- 56,678-- 106,642--178,702--173,814--81,727--155,330--246,877--159,081--162,176
First: Priority workers 21,375-- 14,844-- 27,566-- 41,672-- 34,168-- 14,453-- 31,291-- 64,731-- 36,960-- 26,697
Second: advanced degrees or exceptional ability 14,362--8,557-- 20,255-- 42,550-- 44,316-- 15,406-- 32,534 --42,597-- 21,911-- 44,162
Third: Skilled workers 34,282 --27,920--49,589--85,847-- 88,002-- 46,415-- 85,969-- 129,070--89,922-- 85,030
Fourth: Special immigrants 6,570-- 5,072-- 9,014-- 8,442-- 7,186-- 5,389-- 5,407-- 10,133-- 9,539-- 5,481
Fifth: (investors) 824-- 285-- 218-- 191-- 142-- 64-- 129-- 346-- 749-- 806
See the link below for reference:

Exactly what I was saying.
Until 2007, a large number of unused visa numbers were going to EB3-ROW. Now they will go to EB2 India/China due to the revised interpretation by DOS as posted by Gotcher sometime ago.

You should make an appointment with info pass and carry all needed documents with you. They should be able to help. It is not perfect solution but it works. My wife had applied her AP which did not show up even after three months, in mean time we have had an emergency. I made an appointment with info pass, it was approved within a day. It is worth a try.

And funniest thing is, if there is any spillover, that happens from least trafficked categories.
Not the other way around as how it is supposed to be, logically...
I understand the frustration. Yes, its not fair et all.
EB I is really beaten up and no respite at the corner. And yes, it looks awkward when even late EB2 filers going way ahead ... Of course, no offense...But just wish EB 3 too has the same treatment....
Oh boy, its sad anyways.

I really hope sanity returns to the group and we make a concerted effort to get the current bills passed. As it is, we have an uphill battle, and now, if internally people start thinking that we are better off without the bills, we will never get anything done.
For people who are confused, unsure, unclear about the benefits of Specter/Frist's bill, the benefits are enormous
1. Right now, you have to wait 7-8 years in Eb3 category to get GC. Even if Specter/Frist's bill pass in the current form, and you are in Software, you could get yourself a MS in Comp. Science and get EAD in 1.5 years. Can you imagine the benefits of that?
Ask yourself the question - am I ok with my situation for the next 7-8 years?
The bill is not bad in its current form - we just want to make it better for us by including favorable clauses like 485 filiing and AC 21.
Do not always start looking at the darker side of things - we need something to happen to end the immigration imbroglio we are in. I cannot re-emphasize the need for a bill to pass this year that will contain EB provisions.

Shd we be expecting rejection letters from USCIS per applicant stating the reason for rejection??? If not then what proof do we have for potential benefits of lawsuit?!? Confused :(

i am EB3 apr or may 2002 PD. In late 2005 i had asked my lawyer about switching to EB2 and she told the company that it would be a waste of money because our PD was 'so close' to being current. its 2008 and we are still 'so close' ;). i should have gone ahead and switched, now she says the same thing but i dont plan to listen. at the most i loose 6-9k...
i guess each one should take a decision on his/her own situation, without over analyzing. I agree with you that people with PDs 2003 and beyond should certianly consider switching.
PD Nov 2001 - Nov 2002 -> I would say no point in switching to EB2.
Labour + 140 will take atleast 12 months and another 6-9K US$. Not worth it because even otherwise you might have your GC within 12-25 montha from now.
PD Nov 2002 and beyond : Have to actively consider switching to EB2. Myself being in this range, I am doing the leg work and waiting to hear on what happens to the recapture bill. If it does not happen then these PD's should switch if they can and qualify.
Instead of being jealous towards EB2 bonanza , I think EB3 applicants should make use of this Eb3->EB2 conversion option and participate in the bonanza.
Yes, it costs additional 9K . Consider that the price of the ill advised decision to go in for Eb3 to begin with.
An opportunity to get past this GC mess and start realizing your dreams on both personal and professional front.

Hi friends,
thanx a lott for good news...Now i have a question here.
labor filing date-jun2004
category-eb2
labor approved and i-140 approved in sep2006.waited till now for priority date.
we were not sure about our priority date in the regular one,and my husband's employer agreed to offer us labor substitution,and so we sent papers for labor substitution to our lawyer whose priority date is now current.But still substituted i-140 is not approved yet.waiting for its approval.Lawyer told us that once substituted i-140 is approved,he would go ahead and file our AOS.
Today the priority date is current in regular one.Don't know how to proceed.Can anyone suggest us here?
Awaiting for ur golden replies,
Vaishnavi

Flower campaign wasnt started by iv (atleast not by the seniors), it slowly gathered momentum on its own and produced results. After seeing this bulletin I ve lost hope in all this lobbying and stuff. We need publicity and more of it. Fasting for a day if organized by iv could bring more results.
