Any comment? It is a very interesting article, it look like an advice from the WSJ to the repubblican party : do not get dirty with the Immigration, becasue US citizens does not cares. I agree with that. The unemployment rate is very low, and the Agricolture business is based with the immigration labor, the same with trucking, storage and do not talk about resturant and cleaning business.

Not so. There are no quota caps for spouses of US citizens, hence no retrogression.
Thanks, but could i still file for a concurrent AOS even though i am currently in the country on a AP?

My husband's EB2 Dec 2003 I-485 is at NSC and has been pending. Called customer service using POJ method and got an answer that the application is assigned to IO.
We have replied to RFE two months ago.
Can anyone guess how long it usually takes for IO to actually look at it and approve.
Does it help to file DHS form 7001 or contacting congressman at this point.
Thanks

Hi,
I and my wife both have approved I-140. My PD is Dec 8, 2003 and my wife has Dec 24, 2003. I am applying as beneficiary through my wife's application. Is it possible to use my PD instead? Both are EB3.

I just spoke with Xiyun Yang from Washington Post and conveyed thanks for covering a detailed article. She expressed that there is attention being drawn by many quarters including political for "Skilled LEGAL Immigrants".
Also we need to emphasize & communicate is the "increased fees" (almost doubled in many cases) for all USCIS services effective end of this month (July 30). Is this the penalty to be legal ?
The rallys and campaigns should emphasize this important detail too. This is huge money and not fair to the amount of service that is being currently provided.

The plan comes out to $33.6* inclusive of taxes in lake county IL which translates to $400/year
Not good for a low volume India caller for me. I have ooma @$200 and I don't spend $200/year calling India. I use the 3.29c/min access number calling card (not the cheapest of all) and aided with all the promotions (Diwali, Independence day etc.), I manage to stay below $200/year mark.

Guys,
This is one of the most critical issue we are facing today. The activity has proper plan defined as endorsed by IV.
Please don't think that AC21 is not for you. In current market anything can happen to job anytime. Please do participate in the activity and help the group resolving the issue with USCIS in right way.
Sending mails is first step and has to be done successfully before second step could be taken.

Aright: I spoke with a person at NJ Senator Robert Menendez's office. She mentioned about lots of Calls/Mails and Faxes about Green Card Backlogs have been received.
I've faxed them regarding the same and hoping to get response, if not then next week will do a follow-up call.
Also mailed the letter to DOS and NJ Representatives from congress.org.
If possible will definitely meet Senator Robert Menendez.

Did anyone see any Soft LUDs on their 485 or old EADs before their approvals/RFEs?
My PD is June 7 2006, not current. Yesterday, I had a soft LUD on my 485 and my first EAD. These two haven't seen any activity since early 2009, and I'm wondering if this means anything or if I'm reading into this a little too much.
thanks,

Of course the flower campaign worked.
How many times have we been able to elicit a response from USCIS? Or queries from so many different news organizations. The idea was to take a collective action and get media attention and that's exactly what we got, didn't we?

If AILA is telling that means there is 50% chance of rumors becoming true. If the rumors are true then State Dept and USCIS mismanaged visa numbers. Anyhow wait and see couple of days
But I can not help but notice the timing of priority dates becoming current and also these rumours.
The priority dates became current right before the immigration bill was to be brought up for the second time in the senate. Now as the bill has been shot down, next day these rumours begin surfacing. Guess no need to keep us distracted anymore, so no need to go through the pain of getting bombarded with applications.
Remember both are extraordinarily extreme measures. Make priority dates jump 5 years in one month and then retrogress them in the middle of the month.
Call me wildly imaginative, but I can't help but think that maybe there are people in senior positions in USCIS who would be at home in NumbersUSA.

I tend to agree with both.
You need strong arguments and they need to have legal basis. Laws cannot be changed by an agency that only follows laws.
If you are eligible for EB2 and cannot file in Eb2 and your employer filed in Eb3, it is not a strong argument. Likewise you cannot change the spillover rule without strong legal justification. You need change of law.
Visa recapture is the best option.
Any big action iteam coming for VISA RECAPTURE FROM IV CORE ?
should't we start aggressive calling campaign for HR 5882 ? like one we did for sub committe hearing.. or may be big event like rally in DC ..

I wanted to put down the various steps I undertook or have happened since my PD got current in hopes that it might help anybody...
PD: Nov 2005 EB2 @ NSC got current in August.
We were in India when my wife got a FP notice in July. Missed it completely but was lucky that the lawyer realized we were on vacation and requested a postponement of FP appointment.
The original FP appointment notice was for July 7th and we never received a second appointment notice until Aug 20th.
In the meanwhileI travelled back to USA and opened SRs, Infopass and sent emails to NSC, Opended an Ombudsman inquiry, contacted senators separately for myself and for my wife. I got GC approval on August 10th.
My wife had her FP taken on Sept 3rd and today we received CPO email for her too. Good luck to all who are waiting and I suggest do everything you can like SRs, emails, contacting senators, ombudsman inquiry, infopass appts. Not sure what worked.
My Main conern was that my AOS (principal applicant) would be stalled because my spouse (dependent) had expired FPs and we missed an appointment. Apparently this turned out not to be the case.
Thanks IV for a lot of useful information. All the best to everybody.

Is this for a job?
According to I-9 form, employers can't discriminate based on EAD. There are some exception where they require security clearance for the jobs.
You might want to remind CapitalOne of this anti-discrimination notice on I-9 or bring it to the notice of USCIS.
Yes, it is for a job which does NOT require security clearance.
Is there a formal way / method to let the company and USCIS know of such discrimination ? Any published guidelines from USCIS ?

I really think, second July is the D day here. They can't stop accepting new applications becuase of mere speculation that lot of folks can apply. If indeed thousands of people apply on the second, the numbers will become U on the 3rd. I still think if your applications gets in on the 2nd, you will squeeze in..
Its all about being at the right place at the right time..:cool:
For the nth time.. numbers are reduced only after approval and not based on receipt of application. So if you can submit it on July 2nd you submit it on 3rd and so on.

01/24/2006: Senate May Table Comprehensive Immigration Reform Bills As Early As February 2, Thursday
Unconfirmed sources indicate that the Senate may table this bill earlier than expected. Since there is the nightmarish Sensenbrenner border protection bill that will come up with the comprehensive immigration reform legislation, it appears that the pro-immigration forces may have to energize their forces and start working on the critical immigration legislation.

01/24/2006: AILA Reports Push-Back of Senate Comprehensive Immigration Reform Debate Schedules
AILA reported last week that the Senate Judiciary Committee could start immigration reform debates as early as February 2, but now it reports that the Senate Committee action on immigration legislation may be pushed back until later in February or perhaps into March.

I received a phone call (WOW!) from a sweet lady from CIS Ombudsman's office. I sent letters to his office and in the letter I mentioned my cell #. Anyway she wants a real person who got deniel. I told her that my friend got deniel (IVens are my fried). Anyway, she sent an email too after I asked her to give her info so that my friend can send her his case details. Unfortunately, the email I received shortly after the conversation, looks like general and does not have her ID. Please PM me if you like to hear more about the phone call.
