New applications coming in after July 2????
Don't panic.
That "WOULD" be coming in after July 2. WOULD. Not "will" but "would". Hypothetically speaking.

I've been reading some great human interest stories in various threads here on ImmigrationVoice.org. I know that there was some interest earlier in creating short videos on people who've been waiting forever for their green cards. Why not channelize this into a single place where we can gather these stories in a more compelling format?
Here's an idea that I've been toying with for sometime. If we can take all these stories from all over the country and instead of using words to describe them, use small videos (60 - 90s) or a narrated slideshow to tell these stories and have them available via a single website. We would use YouTube to actually hold the video. We could have it sliced by region/state/city. We could have a running counter to show the average number of years people registered on the site have been wating for their green card. That could be a great place to refer to the media to portray that there are some really great people out there with a compelling reason to live in this country but the green card process is a big stumbling block.
The most important part is that the stories need to be positive, not sob stories. They should bristle with energy, to convey to the people and media at large that by wasting the energy of all these people in green card process, the US is essentially not able to channelize this for more productive use. If people are interested then please email me at vikas.chowdhry@gmail.com and if there is sufficient positive response then I can get the ball rolling.

Buddy...take it easy on yourself. I can feel your pain, waiting for almost 10 yrs now...still no sign that this wait will end anytime soon.
But rather than blaming the system and whining, i keep myself content with the fact that no one is forcing me to stay in this country- it's my own choice that i want to continue taking their bullsh*t.
be happy u got ur EAD - 50 days since i applied...still no sign.
I never imagined that the journey to GC would be such hard, and I have to give my whole life following these notices and EADs and what not. USCIS cannot approve my GC for years and years but now abrubptly they approved my EAD in less than 15 days, when I was expecting to get 2 years extension. My EAD app. was sent out on june 9th and my lawyer told me that they saw approval from yesterday 6/26 (wow 16 days including shipping!!!). USCIS always has hidden agenda, and everybody can tell that it is just money, which leads to such decisions. No body would forget last years july fiasco when they hushed up GC visa numbers for rendering people not to apply before fee hike. The present EAD issues everyone is reporting here is another fiasco. I wonder if there would be barrage of lawsuits for EAD fiasco as we saw last year for july fiasco. Now I understand why USCIS gave themselves time till 30th june, otherwise why wouldn't they make 2 year EADs effective right from the day of announcement in early week of june. Smart move!
Oh well this is what we have to face till we get that "Gone Card"! Day by day my patience is losing. Is it worth all this trouble?

The attorney i had was Jeffries expensive but good.
I have a BS in biology and computers (was on F1 visa)
Then I did research on cancer cells at the university while trying to get into Graduate school. Got my MS in information Science and also an MBA.
For MBA I did my research on Economic growth and Military spending.
After MS i got job h1b for a research facility was doing mba at the same time. Switched employer to work for a multi national corporation. Quite my job for multi national because they would not apply green card started work for a consulting body shop they apply for my green card.
Now Soon I will give my resignation.
You really have a great lawyer to pursue EB1 while your EB2 application is in process (that too without even requesting) .... I almost cant believe that there are such lawyers in immigration field. Congratulations and have fun.
As an aside I will tell my story - have couple masters and a PhD with several publications. My EB2 thru employer is pending. I requested (actually begged) my employer and attorney to pursue EB1 as well - they said no - lawyer's response is EB1 is very difficult and you should be someone of nobel prize calibre etc.etc. I tried convincing by giving several examples of my friends/classmates in PhD who got approved with fewer publications/patents. The lawyer got irritated (maybe because I am providing info that he is not very well aware of) that I am actually giving suggestions and he and HR indicated that I should be happy that they are sponsoring me for EB2. I went ahead with another private attorney to submit another EB1 I140 separately which is still pending. EB1 needs lot of paperwork on our own and needs employer assistance in providing solid proof that work is of high importance - I didnt get that assistance so not very positive about EB1 approval. For now just waiting for my EB2 PD to become current.
I am telling this story because my experience with immigration attorneys is generally bad and its same with scores of friends so much so that I am convinced that immigration lawyers may be one of the least competent professionals in US. In US customer satisfaction is everything in almost all professions - customer is god because he/she is giving us business. But in immigration lawyer community - the end customer may not be the one who is giving them money and even worse the HR people in companies (even the best ones) are either ignorant of or scared of immigration laws and just defer everything to lawyers who kind of exploit this situation. So if you come across a good immigration lawyer please say thanks to him/her on all our behalf.

You came here 6 years ago and applied for your GC only in 2010. Didnt you find an employer who would file one for you. And you also know if your GC gets screwed for some reason, then you are out of the US also.
Looks like something is missing, Dear.
6 years ago, in 2004 (2010 minus 6 years), there was no retrogression. And you didnt apply though you had an option. Very very funny.
Tell me, what are the facts.
I came in 2005 and was eligible in 2006 for EB3 as per company's policy. There was huge retrogression then and I was hoping EB2 would be better for GC and career. Anyway, that's not the point.
One thing I like is that people are acknowledging the porting is a loophole and plan to use it anyway since it suits them.

Please be considerate to your good employer and good attorney of yours. You do not want to burn bridges, when you leave. Give them at least 2-3 weeks notice. That is the least or at least work with them for 6 months since that is what the law would require you after getting GC.

Understood every point of yours & I stand by what you said except for the language as it could have been a bit better. Regarding EB3 or EB2, maybe IV should work attaching a provision as part of its CIR work, which makes USCIS determine whether a candidate is in EB3 or EB2 based on the PERM & 140 instead of letting companies & attorneys mention it. If this happens the process will be much better as USCIS controls the categories & applicants do not need to beg a company to throw them into an EB2 basket or EB3 basket. Also, applicants can have certain amount of freedom from the companies.
When a process is flawed, there is always room for abuse. Of course, the abuse might be minimal, but when we see people with masters & 15 years of experience toiling in EB3 category it pains my heart. It is a fact there could be lesser qualified inidividuals who are in EB2 category, but the companies have managed to use these to hold the employees as hostage.
Hopefully USCIS someday understands this and takes control of assigning applicants into categories than asking company & attorney to mention.
Just sharing my two cents. Also, frustrations from EB3 should be tolerated by IV members, instead of beating them with "red dots". Because if we request members to put their time and effort then it would be mostly EB3 members as they are the "worst" affected. I am sure every year between july-sept most of EB2 members will do bulletin-watching & there is nothing wrong in it.
Next year by this time only EB3 will be here and I dont think many of the EB2 will even bother to read the forum. God bless EB3. Even for those guys with PD in 2003 if you think that you will be lucky in year or two, try buying lottery tickets too. You might win a jackpot.
Good Luck guys...

Ok. Visa bulletin for December gets published. We are all shocked or surprised by the cut off dates. So, we decide to bash USCIS, run all possible permutations on visa numbers (how many different ways are we going to continue analyzing 140,000 visas), some have even proposed fasting and there are some who are threatening to move to Canada or India (I am not sure who is stopping them).
Let us analyze all the proposed solutions and see if they will really get us anywhere:
1. Bash USCIS: I am not sure if anyone at USCIS or the administration would care. You can stand at the top of Washington Monument and scream and not a single soul will care.
2. Analysis/Paralysis of available visa numbers and the possible movements: USCIS, the department that has access to all the required data is struggling to forecast visa availability, but, I see my friends here with very limited access to data trying to forecast Visa movement. I can bet, even with all the smart PHD�s here that we will not be able to forecast visa availability even, if we built the most complex model and continue to have limited access to data. So, this is just an exercise in futility.
3. Fasting in front of Governor�s office: Great idea! We can work off all the excess weight that we may have put on that we have gained due to over eating (one of the symptoms of stress or depression). I think we are choosing the wrong time of the year to do this. It is cold outside and I am not sure if anyone would even stop by the poor souls to pour us a hot cup of coffee. However, we may gain some publicity. Better than idea 1 and 2.
4. Moving to Canada or India: Please do and USCIS will be glad that they have one less case file to deal with and Numbers USA or Lou Dobbs will pay for the ticket.
Unless we stop these frivolous discussions over pathetic suggestions to fix the problem we will continue ignoring real solutions.
We need to think and execute with a sound long term strategy (12-18 months). Let us not try to eat the elephant in one bite. Let us fix this problem with small, manageable and doable steps.
I hope I do not offend anyone. I think it is time to be serious about the road we take from here.

united nations...u have been saying what u just said for many years now. i remember ur epic fight with saras on that issue that caused u to leave immigration portal.
i think this modification of the interpretation of the law is mainly to prevent the massive loss of numbers. I think the DOS now realizes that USCIS cannot effectively handle processing of the massive release of visa numbers in the last quarter, thereby they are doing it in an incremental manner so that the demand is handled effectively (USCIS standards effectively).
I agree; the law definitively leaves no room for error. If all the visas are held back until fourth quarter then there is a significant chance that visas will go unused.
However; it isn't in uscis/dos discretion to make such decisions on a whim for process improvement.
In the orgnizations we work in; there is a big consideration whether the new project or idea is feasible in the current environment. If it isn't then the project/idea gets shelved because it's not doable. However; congress and various regulatory bodies do not give such luxury to uscis. They don't ask them if the implementation of a law or creation of a law will fit into their system or workflow.
At a high level; country quotas in EB do not make a whole lot of sense. I have tried to figure out why they are there; how companies and candidates use EB greencards. Conclusion, I came up with is that in a lot of ways EB is a way to circumvent family base immigration. Many peoples parents have greencards, brothers, sisters, friends, etc; and they realize that it takes too long to get greencard through family base and the fastest way is to come through h-1b and go through EB route. Also; companies; company owners will favor their own people in filing h-1b's and greencards and then you have a situation where certain people are favored due to their nationality or connection. I firmly believe that uscis and the regulatory authorities understand this and hence the reason why there is country quotas.

Hi,
was your first labor PD before April2004?
If yes,then they might have taken that PD.
If not,maybe we can see a forward movement for PD for EB2 in coming bulletin as USCIS might be trying to use as much visa numbers as possible.
Congrats and Enjoy!
No its I-485 I just cut and pasted the two emails I received, first at 10am then the second at 3 pm check online and the system had same messages. If its true I am having a party wow man thanks I did come to US in 1997. I do have a labor which was approved under RIR PD date 2004 but the employer refused to file I-140. Then again filed PERM in 2007 under EB2 and filed I-140/I-485 based on this PERM

There is a different visa category for australians called E1, only THOSE ppl's spouses can work. If an australian is on an H1 his wife cannot work on an H4 either.
In that case you also have to argue, why H4's cant work but L2's can? :)
The Australian visa is called E3, not E1. E3 is like a simplified H1B that can be renewed indefinitely and yes, dependents can work anywhere. The filing process is quick and inexpensive. There is a quota of 10,000 per year, not including dependents. Given that Australia only uses a few thousand H1's a year, this is a very attractive visa.
In the Australian press it was implied that the US govt passed the E3 visa as payback for Australia's support in the Iraq war. Originally it was supposed to be part of a free trade agreement.

My wife is currently with Employer A on her 7th year H-1B which is valid till Sep 2009. She also has her approved labor cert and I-140 from this employer, but decided to continue on my I-485 application. The I-140 however is still valid.
She now wants to change jobs to Employer B using H1 visa transfer. I am guessing she will need to include a copy of approved I-140 with her H1B transfer application. But Employer A is not providing us a copy of the I-140 approval.
Can someone please advise what we can do in this situation? Is a copy of I-140 critical in this situation? Or just a copy of online approved status will be sufficient? Any other ideas?
Thanks!!!

I agree with you there is no point in moving to canada if u are going to do the same job there. You might as well do it here.
The point is that if you move to canada or any other place you have the freedom to take a higher position and your spouse gets to work too. Thereby improving your income. I think these decisions are really based on personal circumstances. For some ppl it might be the right thing to do, for some it may not be.
Again what is the point in moving to Canada just because you are tired in waiting here. Are you going to do the same job in Canada. If yes, I would do that here.
For me, only person who could move to Canada is:
1. Way better career jump.
2. Do not have wavery mind of coming back to US. If happens come back, but do not start with that as you will not lead happy life.
3. Keep the GC processing alive in US.
