I pray that your analysis is correct :)
someone had posted the following on Gotcher's blog
"I got this info from a source that for FY 2009, EB-3 India only used 2224 visa numbers and EB-3 china used only 1027 visa numbers. EB-3 Mexico used 3752, EB-3 Philipine used 5268, EB-3 ROW used 25081 visa numbers respectively. Total EB-3 visa nubmers used in FY 09 is 37352."
total 140,000
per country limit 140,000 * .07
per country per category comes to ~3k each

You are wrongly mixing "country limit 7 %" into a "category limit 28.6%". Please read visa bulletin content.

i dont think you will see a spike for jul/aug 2007 because thousands of apps got filed then, but this report is based off of the PD, not the date the 485 was applied.
hope i'm making sense.
5pm.. time to check out :)

Message from USCIS Director Emilio Gonzalez
I understand that individuals are planning to send flowers to U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) beginning on Tuesday, July 10. USCIS has made arrangements to forward those flowers to our injured service members recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and at Bethesda Naval Hospital.

You basically get an I131 which has all your immi information on it. It also includes your photo and validity period. There is also an area for stamping it when you re-enter the country. I hope this helps.
yes, thanks!

Why do we need 325A?- i thought this was for people in illegal status. Our son entered the US on valid H4 visa. Also do we need to request in application to attach the file to mother or anything like that. I will give the USCIS a call and share that information here if I find anything more.
thanks

I was unable to file for my son since he aged out over a year ago because of long delay in labor cert. However, I filed for my spouse and we both submitted G325A in accordance with instructions from my international services division at work.

Thanks for the link.
But these 1 out 100 are in jail, since they are convicted of crime. Don't you think that people who are committing fraud should be punished as well?
This is no where close to 1 out 10 you wrote in your post and later changed it to 1 out of 100.
Educated Smart! :D

Congrats!!!! Can you please tell the SR process? Do we have to tell the reason why we want SR on the case? If yes, what was your reason to open SR? Thanks!
You call the 1 800 number
Call 1 800 375 5283 and choose option 1 for English
* choose option 2 for checking case status
* Enter receipt number ........., select 1 to confirm the LIN number is correct
* It reads out the information which you can already see online
* It gives me few options to select now:- (To repeat press 1, to check another case press 2, to report a problem with this case press 3,
Press option 3 (problem with case) and then listen carefully to choose "case is outside processing time" and that should lead you to the representative
note down representative name and his id.
Tell him your information (A number, name, address, priority date etc when he asks for it) and tell him you are current and the case is outside processing time (it's too old case as the information online says they are processing 2009/2010 I 485 cases) and ask him the status of the case.
Ask him that you want to know about if the name check is completed, FBI background clearance passed etc and where is your case right now (assigned to any IO?)
This should trigger him to open an SR. Note down SR number.

Hi,
I also interviewed in Mumbai on Jan 4 for an F1->H1-B status change. I was told to wait for an email from the consulate and have not heard anything as of today (Jan.15). Is there anyone who has heard from the consulate and interviewed around that time? Also, could someone please tell me what this kentucky number is which you can call?
Thanks
Nisha.

Case 5
Wife files as Primary - 485 assuming she has 140, or if not 140 + 485

If Case 4 is approved then both are safe (if Hub as a better PD).
If Case 5 is current - Husband can do follow to join and get the GC

Good find apnair. The bad news is that this bill is getting delayed. But atleast it gives us time to get organized and better shot at making sure that the EB based GC issues are not missed from the bill.

Hello rajsat,
By September 28 all the Visas are exhausted(2009 Quota). Please see the thread "September Visa Approvals". Infact some one was saying USCIS stopped issuing GC for the last week as they have used all visas. That may be the case they would have withdrawn approved GC
But try all the possibilities like SR, Infopass, Congressman, etc and let the local office be aware of Oct Visa bulletin and now are current and visas are available.
Best of luck
Thank You! I think I need all the luck in the world.

And you did not understand that this is a way for the lawyer to advertise himself.
He may have seen many people worried about this issue on IV and he wrote on his site . Now you are becoming his agent and posting on this site. This is not a news. It is only a comment. It can be true/partially true or partially false.
To me this issue is a non issue for which IV is working and this lawyer is blowing out of proportion. Only handful of people got denials and that too because their Desi employer acted in revenge for them leaving the company.
Revoking 140 does not neccessarily have to come from desi employers. In most cases, the 140s are revoked because the immigration attorneys suggest the employers to do so, so that they need not carry paperwork and also make it easy to respond to rfe for ability to pay.
For Immigration Attorneys, this is bread and butter and they will get into all avenues to do business and make money and keep their business running and booming.

First and foremost thing we have to understand is that these Memos (Yates and Aytes Memos on AC21) are not legally binding on neither USCIS, nor the IO issuing denials. They are mere "internal" USCIS guidelines that have no legal standing. There is no option available to us right now, other than requesting (pleading) with USCIS that they follow these guidelines as it's hurting the applicants and their families. And that's what we are doing now, by sending these letters to USCIS top honchos.
I have posted a detailed blog entry on this matter
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/blog.php?b=10
Yes, we must all understand that AC21 is not a law. USCIS issues internal memos to adjudicate petitions based on guidelines.
All we can do is request USCIS not to send denial notices as it creates hardships to us and our families.

I am not sure if I am correct, but I have heard it is totally up to you what form to use when re-entering the U.S. If one posseses a valid H1 and AP, it is up to him what to use. Many people choose to use H1 to enter to safeguard status while I485 is pending. I may be wrong; but I could swear I read about this some time ago.....
Please correct me if I am wrong.

Just a silly question popped up in my mind...
Doesn't DOL have a directive telling employers, they have to try to recruit US Citizens first, and only if they do not find properly qualified US Citizens they can go on to search for people having 'other work authorizations' . Isn't that the whole basis for the approval of our Labor certifications in the first place???
So can the employers not use that directive as a legal loophole and try to prescreen the candidates and ask them whether they are US Citizens or GC or EAD or H1 and so on... as a hidden ploy to figure out whether you are GC or EAD while externally they can still put on a facade that they are just strictly following the legal directives that DOL has laid out?
Doesn't this 'Try to hire US Citizens first' policy of DOL in total contradiction with the I9 statement of 'no discrimination based on work authorization' ???? I am a bit confused here :confused:
If this indeed is a legal loophole that employers/recruiters can use in their favor, then admins please delete this post so that the yet unaware recruiter/employer perusing our forums may not get wind of this deadly legal weapon !! :)

I have news for you (and the certitude with which you make your claims here are laughable). Computer science graduation rates in US went up this year by 6-8%, because the visa caps since 2003 remained at 65000 instead of 195000 creating some demand here. I personally know kids who wanted to go to Computer science, but went for other areas like health care because of the lack of offshoring/H1 etc. If the crooked Indian offshorers and fly-by-night operators are not driving down the wages, more americans will go to computer science, as they would go for a career as MD or Pharmacist or lawyer (almost all those careers need at least 6-8 years of college). They also know that professional associations like AMA or APhA wouldn't allow importing foreign workers by corporations/hospitals on a scale that H1-bs are imported in IT area
Very sorry to disagree with you. Kids here have a lot more well paying choices for career and computer science is not really the glamour area for them. Where do you get 6-8% number from? is it Bachelors, Masters or PHD graduates? What percentage of this number is foreign students? in my experience there was a surge of foreign applicants even at Bachelors level during the same period.
Kids choices here are guided by their interest and career opportunities. And interest is the foremost criteria. Your thoughts about physicians or pharmacists are not apple to apple comparison. People have been sick through out the history of mankind and there has been increase in physicians and care providers propotional to population growth rate. There has been no explosive growth in those areas. IT/semiconductors/computers have gone through a period of explosive growth. That growth rate slowed with the burst of 2000-2001 and the H1 numbers reflect that. Why are H1 numbers not taken this year? It is simply because the market has slowed down.
Based on my experience, I wouldn't say that Indian kids have any special skills in maths or science compared to americans. Contrary to what you claim, people are aware of H1s and offshoring(may be so much on the exploitation of L1) as they talk to friends and family and guidance counselors at school. Most of the IT jobs were Indian H1-bs are employed doesn't even need computer science or engineering degree. Some of the best architects I have seen in IT didn't have a computer science major. A green-horn from TCS/INFY with a computer science degree and pretending to be an architect doesn't mean he is the best IT professional available in the market.
A computer science degree is not a mujst but it should be in related fields of science, math or engineering. can you show me a pharmacist or physician who is an architect ? The guy who is hiring a professional will determine who is the best suited for his needs? If the guy from TCS/Infy does not suit his needs he can find the best guy available to him. You can not judge who is best suited for all jobs available. And in this economy if a person's skill does not suit the job he is out of the door pretty quickly.
