Thx Macaca for the self-filing option. Unfortunately, that is not an option for many of us. Our corporate lawyers are supposed to handle this and they have out I-140 approvals. So not sure how we can self-file... In most of the cases, these big lawfirms are taking days to respond to us, claiming huge workloads.

Sorry to hijack the thread.
My passport expires in June 2009. I have a valid H1B notice till Nov 2010. I was planning to get my H1B visa stamped on my passport. My lawyer asked me to renew my passport before I go for stamping. Will the indian embassy renew the passport if my expiry date is more than 1 year from the day I sent them the material ?
Someone please advise.
Also, I am sending all material to Washington DC. Do I just send all the material listed on the website ? Don't I have to correspond with them ? I can't seem to get anyone on the phone.

Hi,
I am planning to start a new petition in EB2 and use my EB3 2003 PD.
What I gather from here is that the EB2 PERM has almost 100% chance of getting audited due to the current economy.
I am planning the EB2 with a different employer.
I have the following questions:
1) Since I am going with a different employer can I use a different ODot code than what was used when filing my EB3 labor in RIR? ( I am guessing the codes differ slightly from the old labor certification days anyways)
2) What would happen if by bad luck my new PERM gets denied? Will my old EB3 petition continue to be valid?
Any advise is greatly appreciated.

so, you are saying dates in eb2 moved because, few of the eb2 folks showed up in DC. I think its time for you to up your medication...
eastindia is neither Eb2/EB3 nor from India, he has been creating waves on almost every active blog, yesterday he received quite a few responses on EB2-EB3 Predictions calculations blog. I hope the IV Admins / moderators are reading and take necessary action. He / She is just enjoying at our expense just by creating confusion.

My priority date will be current June 1st. My 485 was filed in July 2007 and I got married in 2008. I will be filing my wife's 485. Do you guys know typically how long it takes for newly filed dependent 485 to get approved?
TIA
I am in the same boat, I am hoping to be current in couple of months, I would like to know the process on how to add my spouse to my I485 application

My wife's 485 status changed online as "Card production Ordered".
My GC was approved last year august and waiting for her approval over a year.
I see a pattern of approval for people who got recent soft LUDs. Nola was another person who got SOFT LUD.
Congrats.
Please keep updating the IV tracker this month if you got approval. Please also encourage others to do the same.
We are going to see the trend of the approvals and if next month the dates go back or approvals look irregular, we will contact USCIS.

With this attitude and arrogance, I rarely think there would be motivation for anyone to do anything for IV.
I started discussion by asking , how can IV convince me that my donation is going to help, I got shot down by ARROGANT ******** and got all reds as if I care. I was planning on a charity/donation drive of my own to get some money for IV.
Know lot of consultants, who really dont know what to do with their miles with every one a executive airline status.
Already have 10+ people pledging Poker tournament from my poker group with their miles for Airlines and hotels. We are talking of a Million AA miles.
Indian restaurants(s) having a Immigration week where a dollar of each bill be given to IV.
I was even thinking of standing at Indian stores in Dallas to ask people to consider for IV cause, as long as I believed and hence was asking.
I was just getting started with so many ideas for my free time.
Good luck in what ever you do guys. Note that GC is not everything and note that I am still on extended H1, family on H1 and EAD never helped me. so assumption that EAD helped my life is baseless. All these hypocrites are long gone from IV once they get GC. All we get is response that Mr X or Y , even after getting GC, is working fro cause. How can I believe.
Any organization can be successful if there are questions answered and not shot down. Just working at DC doesnt make some one a strong contributor for IV.Work at grass root level is so imp. What I have noticed is any one who went to DC has become headstrong, egoist and arrogant as if they own IV.
Please read my initial post before commenting. I always said, I am for IV cause. just convince me so that I can convince some one
Gisa pita dialogue,...dont ask what IV has done,, ask yourself what you have done... COMMON
Here it is, I can write in BOLD and RED
Your argument doesn�t make sense at all. All are lame excuses at best. If you want to see what people are doing, you need to start work with people, see and believe. We cannot give you the notarized copy of certificate. You cannot sit on the fence and ask people to convince. As I said earlier no one is getting paid for what we are doing and no one is doing any favor for others either.
Dont waste everyone's time with your useless arguments. If you really want to do something, start the campaign for whatever you believe and if its really worth people will follow you.

She told me to contact mail room but no luck in reaching them..Its always busy and going to voice mail..

D. EMPLOYMENT VISA AVAILABILITY IN THE COMING MONTHS
There has been no forward movement of the Employment cut-off dates for November. The reason for this is that it is still too early to see what impact the movement of the cut-off dates toward the end of FY-2007 may have on demand. Depending on the rate of demand being received from Citizenship and Immigration Services offices for adjustment of status cases, some forward movement of dates may be possible for December.
It is very clear that USCIS is yet to complete the receipt of all I-485 applications and are not in a position to give any statistics to DOL. I think then they will be busy in issuing AP / EAD based on the receipt. Considering the current work load, I think it will take at least couple of months for the USCIS to give any reasonable estimate to DOL regarding the actual demand. Till that time, I think DOL will be forced to publish the same status every month. :(
I wish USCIS can use the people worked in Backlog Elimination centers to issue EAD / AP and clear I-485 receipts and provide some meaningful figures to DOL. [I hope they do not create another July bulletin fiasco :D]

The best thing to do right now: At the cost of repeating myself, bear with me.
I believe this is going to work: Write letters and post them to your senators. Senate is in session, and all its going to take is a little spark.
In the past, we have sent emails and webfaxes to senators only to get canned- pre typed responses.
Recently, I have realised that senators favour written letters, posted (with postage stamp) especially if it comes from constituents from their state. Same with house reps. I have talked to my senator's staff and they have advised me to write a letter.
The staff member said, letters are always read, and responded. Senator will send an inquiry to the appropriate agency. This will create an impact, all of us should write letters.
Hi, I did that today. A personalized letter along with copies of the Interim Bulletin and te USCIS press release on July 2.
Next, I want to write to other senators who are friendly to skilled immigrants (Cantwell, Cornyn etc). Has someone compiled a list of them?

I beg to differ from your point of view that approvals are on PD. If you take a good look at the PDs of approved cases posted here, you will there are many post July 04 (mostly in Oct and Dec 04) and we all know there are many before that.
They are clearly going by ND. I have seen 1/2 case approved that had ND after 8/30/07
They dont prioritize inside the current time window. In otherwords, they dont necessarily go Jan, Feb, Mar etc. They just do it if its inside Jan 2005.

I am also from the Chinese community and just have signed for a $20 monthly contribution.
I do urge people who have not made any contributions to act now!
If we don't contribute at this time, IV may have great difficulty in operating and may even be closed one day. At that time, no one organization would stand up to speak for us!
I have a PD of August 2005. Luckily, I have filed my 140/485 in Sept. 2005. I do believe that, in this forum, I am among the luckiest ones who have more freedom to change jobs and travel outside US. If you are in a situation worse than mine, for example, if you have not get your LC/PERM approved or if you have not file your 485 because of retrogression, don't you think you should be more motivated than me to contribute?
I would change my contribution to $50 monthly if we have 1000+ members to sign up for the monthly contribution. Meanwhile, I would cancel my contribution if this goal cannot be achieved by all our 8400 members within the next two months. I cannot see any point if most people who suffer from the possibility of waiting for years would not contribute while I, who might be one of the least painful ones, contribute.

There is something called fraud protection fee that companies pay for initial H1's. So USCIS has the funds to protect the fraud, the question lies if they are really implementing it.
The GOVT should state that those who apply for H1 should make it mandatory for the employees to be in US within 30 - 45 days of obtaining US Visas and be present in US on employment in continous increments of 1 year. And they need to show pay stubs continously.
- Then we can easily filter out WIPRO, Infosys, Consulting company from misusing. For example Wipro will apply 5000 H1s and then send people when they eventually get a project, out of 5000, may be 1000 may show up in 6 months. So In this case 4000 H1s can get invalid. Indian companies find it sending people overseas is expensive business and would enjoy offshoring projects. If the govt makes this rule, consulting companues will be forced to start paying H1 folks from Day 1, no bench period, plus "Candidates need to show up in person immdlty in US". We kill 2 birds with 1 stone. 1, dummy H1s will not be applied, 2, if they approve H1s then they have to send engineers immdlty for which they may not be really ready, since they only anticipate projects and may not need so many H1s right away !...
THis will be a sure shot solution.

When my lawyer applied for my H1B extension she forgot to apply for my wife's H4 extension (Form I 539). Now after about year and half when we are preparing to file for our 485 status adjustment we she found out that she forgot to apply for that. So she is now filing the Form I 539 with an explaination. So that means my wife has been out of status for almost more than a year now unknowingly. How much of a chance does she have to have her form I 539 approved now? Any response would be very much appreciated.
Thank You
It is very likely that I-539 will be approved without new I-94 and she will be asked to get new visa stamp and re-entry in US.
Not a legal advice.
