India/China Quota numbers � Update | Klasko, Rulon, Stock & Seltzer, LLP: Blog (http://blog.klaskolaw.com/2011/04/01/indiachina-quota-numbers-update/)
India/China Quota numbers � Update
April 1st, 2011 by William Stock
While the USCIS numbers of pending I-485 make me relatively pessimistic on movement for India and China EB-2, the State Department�s internal case management staff are feeling more optimistic. In fact, we are seeing the National Visa Center issue fee bills for EB-2 India immigrant visa files with priority dates as late as November 2007, which would seem to indicate that NVC, at least, thinks the visa numbers will move at least that far ahead this year.
A caveat against reading too much into the NVC action: recall that it was imperfect information-sharing between USCIS and the State Department that led to the July 2007 �Visagate� debacle, and NVC likely has a small minority of the overall number of visa petitions with India and China EB priority dates in 2006 and early 2007, since so many of those beneficiaries could file for adjustment of status in July of 2007.
It�s also possible that NVC is simply trying to get cases set up with fees paid and documents submitted in case the numbers stay current for the rest of the fiscal year � but applicants would lose their filing fees if the numbers retrogress later this year.
We will have to wait for the May Visa Bulletin from the State Department, likely released by April 13 or so, for more detailed information on the State Department�s thinking.
Counting the dates..... Thank you all in IV team; great work
I would not trust the lawyers in any of this, because their analysis will be superficial and not even close compared to what we see here. We have around 4-5 different folks here doing some really good sound analysis, so unless it's a lawyer known to historically make accurate predictions, I wouldn't care less about their say.

how can it be free..when you pay 25/month?
I have vonage service since two years and i am paying 24.99/m since two years for unlimited US, canada and europe. They just added india in the international calling list so isn't it free? I am not paying anything extra for calling to india. I have been with vonage for quality and it is personal choice about which service you use and how much you pay for that. It all depends on usage and how much we spend on calling cards or calls to india. If you spend more than $25 on calling to india than this is a great plan if you have internet connection at home.

06/29/2007: Notice to The Oh Law Firm Clients
* We have suspended the work for July 485 filing development pending the clarification of the rumor next week. Please bear with us in this confusing and difficult time.
I am of the opinion these rumors may not be rumors, they have some insider information. We are out of luck I guess

But you have put your post in the forum and in this thread. You didn't send him PM.
It seems, you have no answers to my questions in mentioned in the post. That's why you have chosen personal attack.
Have a good day!
I addressed it to OP, are you same?

current Visa bullettin does not give any info about next months...its talks about other workers..can you point to the sentence where it says it going to be april01-nov 01??..
Besides..you have been waiting very long from 01..just like me..incruiating..wait..
Here's a quote from the Sept Visa bulletin http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_4328.html
The Mexico F2A and Employment Third preference cut-off dates are �unavailable� for both August and September, since those FY-2008 annual limits have been reached. The Visa Office had originally anticipated that this would be a temporary situation. Then with the start of the new fiscal year in October the cut-off dates would have returned to those which had applied during June. However, continued heavy demand in those categories may require the establishment of cut-off dates which are earlier than those which had applied in June. A formal decision determination of the October cut-off dates will not be possible until early September.
June cutoff for EB3-I was Nov 2001. So worse than this means, the cutoff will be eariler than Nov 2001. And I picked Apr 2001 as the lower bound just because, Apr 2001 is a very well known time frame where the PDs just hung there forever for EB3....dig around in the forums to know more about Apr 2001 and its relation to EB3, backlogs, etc....

It is not clear what you mean when you say that. How can you get EAD without filing for 485 [which you can file only when your PD is current].
We applied before the retrogression started
2004 July - labor cleared for my husband
2004 December applied for I140 and I485 --- I 410 approved EAD and AP issued
I was in the country on F1 and applied for I485 along with my husband in 2004
Graduated in 2005 and changed to H4 immediately although not required since the status is Adjuste status
So when my PD becomes current they will let me know if we get GC or not
My question was since i applied for I485 when i was on F1 will it be a problem. I asked my lawyer and he said no. But i dont know how far he is correct.
I found this
http://www.immigration.com/faq/green3.html see Q202 ( it looks okay but i read some where its not quite right he was not a lawyer though)

thanks, I am going to look into that also.
I am still trying to talk the old employer. Is it such a big deal that they cant even write a letter of future employment for me? i told them that they are not obligated to hire me but they are scared that they are trying to show that they are in losses and that by filing for a GC and promising a future employment they will not be able to show that they are suffering losses.
Why is it so difficult and complicated?
I am losing hope in it.
There is no harm in trying the new application in parallel. Assuming your employer is paying for it/you can afford the extra fees. Time is critical as CIR might mess things up if you delay too much.

Wow Naushit,
Enjoy greenhood..........no luck yet for my wife...But she got a call from USCIS office of Wash DC that it is the biometrics that is holding her approval...they are issuing a biometrics appointment....I told so far she had been issued Biometrics appointment thrice and we have not received anything.
Also if I got approved without biom availability how come she is not....she is giving crap that our job is approving the primary applicant....I told her that none of my friends have got approval just for the principal they all got approved together.
I told her Biom does not hold approval ...she was adamant we can't approve her w/o that.

Hi Guys,
I am pretty new to the forum (as a member), I have been browsing the same for quite some time and found it a good source of information regarding immigration related activities. Right now I am getting removed from my project as one of the top 3 Indian outsourcing firm is dumping their L1 resources at my client site and replacing all the citizens, GCs, EADs, H1 etc. These resources are used in projects managed and controlled by my client (most of them are consulting assignments) and these resources are used on java/.net/oracle projects, these two are violations of L1 visa restrictions set by USCIS, I want to know how and where to complain against this violation and we have all evidence to prove the same (project documents, time sheets, work assignments etc). Please let me know exactly and to which agencies we should complain.
Thanks in Advance,
Srini

Folks,
This is the best I have come across :
husband files for himself - I 485
Wife files for herself - I 485
If one of the apps are approved, the other can Join.
No risks....
yes, this sames to be the safest option. only catch seems to be:
- if you are on EAD, then you how do you join? your EAD is based off your I485, which u are presumably abandoning so you can join the other application.

Called TSC using the POJ method. Office told me that my case was approved on 10/26 (today) and card production was ordered. Officer told me that I should recieve the card in 30 days or less.
I checked the online status, it still shows the same status as 09/15/2007. There are no LUDs either. I didnt get any emails or text message on my phone.
Has anyone experienced anything similar?
Why cant for once something be smooth sailing for me? I will call TSC again around 4 PM (just to confirm from some other officer).

cannot locate my wife's OPT card from 2003
all other documents for status are available
how important is that card?
any way to get a duplicate/copy??
you might be able to get a duplicate by contacting the college/university.
my case is somewhat similar, but I dont have that option: I was on L2-EAD and I cannot find that damn EAD card (needed for filing EAD based on I485). However I do have the older I-797 so can atleast prove status...

At present my EAD is status not changed (USCIS case tracking), So I assume my EAD is valid. I also read Attorny Ron's blog that EAD is valid even I485 is denied. That gives me some comfort. Another problem, even if I get H1b (with out I94), I don't have AP to go (out of country) for stamping. What happens if I apply for AP while I485 is denied? Any one tried this? I am not sure what to do...
well, you don't really need AP to go out of country in this case as you are going to stamping. But in case if stamping is denied for any reason, its an end. Unless you specifically received CIS letter stating that your EAD is also revoked, it is probably valid. You can keep working on EAD till CIS works on your appeal or MTR.
