The first step you should get your employer to do is to file a job order in the state job bank or americas job bank. You have to keep this ad for 30 days and then wait another 30 days to file PERM. This is the longest time. All other forms of recruitment needs to wait only 30 days and you can file PERM on the 31st day. There is no mention of working days or weekends, it is 30 continuous days. As you know in addition to this job bank order, and two Sunday newspaper ads, there has to be three other forms of recruitment before you can file PERM. If your employer and lawyer are really proactive it will only take 60 days to file PERM from start to finish. You also have to get a prevailing wage determination and post it at your job site for 10 days not including holidays and weekends. Hope this helps. Please contribute and incrase the membership of IV for the good of all of us.
after the jobs ads and waiting period (30 + 30 days) how long does it take for the perm approval to come thru. Can anyone who got their labour in perm update the complete sequence of process from start to end?? I appreciate their time in advance.

Since you dont have visa stamped on passport, H1B approval copy notarized would help. You should be fine entering both addresses and I have seen both addresses on my Passport on renewal.
Thanks for the info. I am planning to add my wife name by providing marriage certificate. Can i add my child name with his birth certificate. By not providing other address , can i avoid having US address on my passport.

Various reasons...time...schedule...other obligations etc...lack of readily available information on IV as an organisation or state chapter....too many steps to do simple things like joining the state chapter :)
ya some of the reasons seem ridiculous...
like the example of the weekly attorney call
Many like me don't have the time to search through forums as to what the number is for the call or where is the link for the chat. If its displayed on the main page "Click here to join attorney call" that would be so much easier and encourage a lot more participation.
No member has to search for the lawyer conference call thread in the forums section at all. They just have to read the threads running on the home page!. Every week that we have the conference call, the thread runs with the red title "Free Conference Call on -date- -Lawyer name- frm -firm name", and it is mostly me who keeps the thread alive from Monday through Thursday! I have even started a thread on the Ask the lawyer section announcing this and I kept the thread on the home page until the third week of this month - when we had the last call for the month of March. I have not kept it up on the home page with all the advocacy activities we are involved in - but I would think that the members who benefited from the calls would want to help by keeping it up on the home page...........but that does not happen either (although wait_for_ever_gc and SGP tried for a few weeks).
This is exactly what I mean when I say "frustration" - The services are clear on the title and runs on the home page every week. Yet members say, I can't find it!
I have had people PM me and ask how do I post on IV - I point them to the thread that tells them to do it - we do have it as a sticky, for easy visibility if members take the time of doing a little search. I have had members call me and ask how do I post, I have explained it to them while on the call. There is only one ph# available to reach IV - and I have answered everyone of the calls for which members have needed help.
ok i managed to find it...but its not easy to find...the average person visiting this site will never know about it. This is a cool benefit...it should be advertised on the site more so people can take advantage. It will certainly generate more interest in IV
Right here, members should realize, IV is not here to market stuff or make money. IV is about services and working together to bring the relief needed for our immigrant community. Does IV need the money? Absolutely - for advocacy. Not just the 3 day advocacy event but the year round advocacy that needs to happen to get anything done.
IV has a donor forum, and it has made a policy that to be able to get access to it, members need to donate. It is not a mandatory service but an option of choice for each of the members. Without making any monetary payments mandatory, IV members (some) have issues with it. I cannot imagine the uproar and backlash that will come, if IV decides to impose even a $2 mandatory fees. People will find fault with that too......... And if there is one thing we have realized, we can't please everyone. IV leaves the option of donating as a choice to our members rather than a mandatory imposition of fees.
I will say this though, Aman is a good friend of mine, and he himself being in EB3, waited for many years to get his GC. Before he got his GC, he too was frustrated with the system and came up with this organization - over a conference call - to find solutions to make this GC process better. This was in end of 2005. He got his GC in the recent past in EB3, and yet here he is fighting for the cause of the people who are still stuck in the backlogs! He has a full time job, a family (who is sacrificing a lot because he is so involved in finishing what he started, a time that he could have spent at home), and he works harder than anyone I know for your Green Card relief. There are very few dedicated people behind IV, and Aman is the very back bone of this organization.
Members write about IV being for EB2? How? Members write about how IV does not understand the pain of an EB3.. Really? Aman and Pappu and other team members are all in EB3......some still without a GC......waiting just like you! This organization was built on EB3 pain and it continues to exist because of the dedication of few leaders to see this through. A lot of people got greened in 2010 - where are they? Some visit, some even donate regularly, some even participate/volunteer for the advocacy days in DC. But the large majority left. If Aman decided to leave after he got his GC, each of you would have found another online place to go to, but what you may not realize is, had he done that, there would be 1 less dedicated, passionate voice fighting for your speedy Green Card!
The other day, a member since 2007 - does not know what the goals of this organization is! Even my child knows - that to find out about any organization - just go to the "About Us" section. Four main menus to explore - "Home", "Forums", "Wiki", "Advocacy" - you will find everything you need to know about IV.
Members don't want to see what is in front of them (Free lawyer conference call on home page)
Members don't want to explore a little bit about this forums - (Take 10 minutes of your time when you visit IV to look up on Advocacy, on Wiki) - to get the info needed.
Members don't want to participate in anything - like I said - IV has this action item of meeting with lawmakers - and the response is "I can't, as I have a busy schedule, other commitments......" All I am asking for is an hour off from work to meet with lawmakers in a month. 1 hour in a month!
Members ask what has IV done for me? I won't even say 'Ask what have you done for IV" - instead I will say, "Ask what have you done about your own green card other than wait."
A member thought Pappu's post was "arrogance". But does this member know that Pappu is the one who handles these difficult issues - researching what the problem is and then suggesting the next steps or contacting the right officials to get the answers for these needy members. IV does not charge for this time and service. But he hopes that this member will donate. And he has rarely found these very members coming back to donate to IV. And that to me is "frustration".
You may want to believe what I am saying or not - the choice is yours. But I will ask this of each of you - if you have something negative to say about IV or don't know what IV is working on - just pick up the phone, call and ask. Before you criticize the hard work of people, take the time to get your facts right and then do what you feel is right.
BTW, all "you" mentioned here is every member and not directed to one person. And check out my signature - finding your state chapter and becoming a member is easy. I have had this for over a year now.

The worst injustice USCIS committed was setting up Backlog Elimination Centers and letting an incompetent contractor handle the cases slowly. Elaine Chao must be fired for incompetence and indifference just like Brown was fired for Katrina bungling.
Brown (and Bush administration) don't care about AMERICANS (well, mostly poor blacks but Americans anyway...), while Elaine Chao and her great team don't care for immigrants. Who gives a damn?! She may even get a promotion for this screw up, forcing some immigrants to give up and pack back.

"One can have a good quality of life in a small apartment...."
Not true - a small apt is a small apt no matter what. Yes, you can live with peace of mind in a small apt, and yes you can live happily in a small apt. This does not equate to quality of life. The "quality of life" in a 4 bedroom house with back yard is greater than that in a small 650 sq ft single bedroom apt ( if you put the same person who was happy in the small apt into the 4 bedroom house - even if his happiness level remains the same, his quality of life just went up)
Nothing against someone buying a 4BR house. I respect everyone's decision to buy whatever they can afford. I had been to one of my friend's 4BR home in North East during winter and felt like being in a igloo. The heat was set at about 62 to save on heating cost!
I'd rather have a 2BR apartment (or a 3BR based on need) and have a comfortable temperature.
One can buy a home but ensure one doesn't become 'house poor'!

I got the similar message too and trying to find out if this is indeed an approval or not!
Any thoughts on this folks?
I thinkI got greened..
On August 3, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before receiving your card, please call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.
During this step the formal decision (approved/denied) is written and the decision notice is mailed and/or emailed to the applicant/petitioner. You can use our current processing time to gauge when you can expect to receive a final decision.
Not sure what ADIT and last paragraph mean... anyone with similar message..

App went to NSC. Sent docs on 05/19 - delivered on 05/21
Soft LUD on 05/17, 05/18 and on 05/24
Got receipts on 05/21
Yesterday (05/25) got ASC notice for FP for my wife.. is FP needed for EAD??
I thought last time we got FP notice.. it said app type as I-485.. that time.. in July fiasco.. we had applied for 485/EAD/AP all together
Have not got my FP notice yet
I have a Que - my daughter is 7 and initially the attorney had applied for EAD for her too... but then after the first time (2007) I did not apply for her EAD.. I thought no point in wasting $340 every time..
Now since FP notices are coming for my wife and hopefully for me - how about FP notice for my daughter? Do I need to apply for EAD for her.. to get FP notice?
If I don't get FP notice for her - will her Case be ok?
Anyone has similar experience.. pls reply...

Yes, You are right.
who ever file in EB2 category, they are auditing and asking too many details like, business necessity, previous employee exp if it is re filling the position, recruitment report (paper advertisement, dates, intranet advirtisement details what not)...
so as of now we can't say that they are targeting only IT people.

So, from what I read in this thread:
* EB2 (India/China) may not have MANY cases with PD earlier than 2005 as only after retrogression (in 2005), EB2 started piling up.
* Most 2001/2002 EB3 cases are approved (in June/July/August 2007) and they may be still receiving approvals off numbers reserved for them in June/July 2007. Hence, the natural movement for EB3 to 2003 in the near future.
* If most of the EB3 cases filed in June/Juy are not processed by USCIS by next June (2008), then PD may become current during the last quarter of FY 2008 (or atleast to end of 2006). If enough cases are approved (and pending for VISA numbers), then it may move only to 2004 or early 2005.
* EB2 - same logic as above - it may become current or move to early 2006.
Makes sense?
