    Hi I am not exactly in similar situation but still relevant in the context. I have labor and I-140 cleared but my wife is working in India and she may not be able to come back in order to file I-485 within a month or two. If I file I-485 for myself can I file for her later? What will be the consequences and what are the timelines? I have a valid H1 Extension till May 2010. Can she still get this extension stamped and return on H4 visa?

    I just got a response back from TSC. They attached my letter, the envolope I sent the letter in and a response.

    The response is a standard one...."Thank you for your recent enquiry to the TSC.....contact NCSC...blah blah...blah". No mention of AC-21, 140 etc. I dont know what to make of it. Same for my wife's letter.

    Well...atleast we know it reached them :).

    Yes, the same law can be interpreted like this:

    EB1-ROW unused visa will go to EB2-ROW
    EB2-ROW unused visa will go to EB3-ROW

    Same for each country.
    But its not happening. What actually is happening that they are giving unused visa from EB1-ROW to EB2-ROW to EB2-I/C. WHY?

    So EB3-ROW is retrogressed bcoz it doesn't get any spillover and hence it affect EB3-I.

    So where is the correct interpretation? Does any body know?

    Don't take me wrong here. I don't favor EB3-ROW or any particular category. I am EB3-I with PD Nov 2002.

    This was the law till 2000 (vertical spill over). After 2000, because of AC21, the INA got changed to horizontal spillover. This means each employment catagories are seperatly free from country quota if demand is less than supply in each catagory. If you analyze word by word in the language of the AC21 act, you will understand. Unfortunally (fortunatly for EB3) DOS has not interpreted the law correctly till 2006. Now they are interpreting correctly.
    5) 2/ RULES FOR EMPLOYMENT-BASED IMMIGRANTS-



    (A) EMPLOYMENT-BASED IMMIGRANTS NOT SUBJECT TO PER COUNTRY LIMITATION IF ADDITIONAL VISAS AVAILABLE- If the total number of visas available under paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) of section 203(b) ]for a calendar quarter exceeds the number of qualified immigrants who may otherwise be issued such visas, the visas made available under that paragraph shall be issued without regard to the numerical limitation under paragraph (2) of this subsection during the remainder of the calendar quarter.

    Folks,

    Got the email about being registered as a new permanent resident on Oct 8th. Thanks to SoP, caliguy, fatjoe and all others on the forum who helped / gave me support. I essentially learned that USCIS will not move quickly on their own, they need to be pursued just like any other govt. office in India. I give my time line below for an idea of what I did. If anyone is waiting still, I sincerely think that you should do all of POJ/SR/Infopass/Senator/Ombudsman.

    Timeline:

    Sept 1st - became current
    Sept 5th - contacted NSC several times through POJ. Finally, a very nice lady told me that my case was not even assigned to an officer. Said that she will send in a request to the contractor to pull my case out and get it assigned to an officer.
    Sept 11th - Case pulled out of storage area and moved to a smaller waiting room [got this info later, but this is what had happened]
    Sept 13th: Opened SR.
    Sept 18th - Infopass: Told me that my case was assigned to an officer on Sept 11th (which was wrong really) and that I should wait 30 days. Also told me that my FP were renewed on March 9th and all my checks were clear.
    Sept 20th: Contacted Senator's office. Said they will send in inquiry.
    Sept 25: Response to SR. Case under review. Wait 30 days.
    Sept 27th: Letter from Senator saying my case was under review and I need to wait 30 days.
    Oct 2nd: Contacted NSC again through POJ method. A nice lady, Terry, told me that my case was assigned to officer on Sept 30th. She said, "your case was pulled out of storage and put in a rather large holding area where it was till Sept 30th." Also confirmed that my FP was renewed and other checks were clear. Said, just wait, it will happen soon.
    Oct 6th: Sent 7001 form to USCIS Ombudsman.
    Oct 8th: Got decision email.

    Learnings: Pursue your case as much as you can. Call NSC, but be polite. They are usually in good mood on Thu/Friday evenings and if you make some small talk, they will help you. I kept records of which NSC IO is rude and if they picked up the next time, I would just keep the phone down. In fact, the lady who helped me remembered me 'coz I managed to reach her 3 times. Dont just ask for status, say that you have called in the past and so far you know xxxx about your case. Some IOs are nice, some are rude. Nice ones actually tried to explain the entire storage area, holding area, supervisor supply chain to me. I think I kind of understand the process that happens at NSC just through these conversations now. Approach Ombudsman asap with form 7001. Call your Senator office and ask to speak to the immigration person. They are very understanding and will help you.

    Long-ish email, but thought that I will put it out there, and it might help someone stuck in this morass. If you need more info, ask me / PM me. I will be around these forums for some more time.

    I have had couple of LUDs on my cases (9/10 and 9/13) and nothing after that. The last time I gave my fingerprints were in Jan 2009, so I am sure they have expired. Should I proactively get the biometrics done (by taking an infopass and requesting biometrics notice) or wait for them to send me the notice?

    Not sure if this will help if I open up an SR or take an infopass. Anyone got their 485 approved while their biometrics were expired?

    My lawyer received a letter from USCIS asking for verification of employment and whether the position is still available and being offered to me. Once they respond, hopefully the approval will come through.

    I have sent an email to 1800flowers.com to offer special price or sponsor this campaign as they may also get benefited from business or media coverage. I would suggest that we should speak to other flower shops and see if they will sponsor and it may increase the numbers and people who are shying away from high cost of flowers can also start participating. Also, we should come up with a new date or extend the time to send the flowers to increase the numbers.

    What do you think???

    Congress has begun a 10-day recess. The House and Senate are scheduled to return the week of February 27. When they return, the Senate Judiciary Committee is scheduled to take up comprehensive immigration reform, probably beginning March 2. On March 27 this bill will be brought to the floor of the Senate.

    www.immigration-law.com also posted information about Comprehensive bill suggesting that on 02/16/2006, the Executive Business Meeting of the Senate Judiciary marked up the Comprehensive Immigration Reform bill. We have not yet found the mark up document. If anybody is able to find this document, please post let everybody know.

    There are two pieces of Innovation/Competitiveness bills that are being considered:

    1.) Protecting America’s Competitive Edge Acts (PACE)
    This act is based on Augustine report. This act is sponsored by Domenici-Bingaman-Alexander-Mikulski. There are 60 Senators who have endorsed this act. This act is being supported by Craig Barrett and other hi-tech industry leaders. The link below provides the summary. Section 314 of the education part of this act contains some of the provisions for Employment based immigration.
    http://www.asertti.org/news/documents/PACE_Summary.pdf

    2.) National Innovation Act (NIA) of 2005
    This act is based on Report of Council of Competitiveness (Immivationamerica.org/Compete.org report of 2005). This act is sponsored by Senator Lieberman (CT) and Senator John Ensign (NV). At this time this act has support of 25 Senators. This act is also being supported by Craig Barrett who is co-chair for the academy that is involved with NIA. There are other executives of high profile companies who are supporting this initiative. The link below provides the summary. Could not find much on employment based immigration other than the fact that this act is asking for $1 Million to conduct a study to find out the right numbers of legal plus employment based immigration. So this looks like a long shot.

    http://www.compete.org/pdf/National_Innovation_Act%20-%20Section_by_Section.pdf

    Both Innovation/Competitiveness acts are not competing with each other but rather complementing each other. The people and substance involved in both the acts are similar. Just that they provide slightly different solution to the situation where PACE provides for additional funding and slightly more aggressive than NIA. Both the bills have very broad & bi-partisan support in Senate. However, it is getting slightly tougher to get support from the House for these bills.

    Regarding: Inquiry/status for I-485 AOS application sent to USCIS, Nebraska Service Center on July 2nd 2007
    [FedEx Tracking No. xxxx
    Recd. by Mr. R.WILLIAMS
    NSC At Jul 2, 2007 7:55 AM]

    My Adjustment of status application [I-485,I-765 and I-131] based on EB2 category, was delivered to Department of Homeland Security, USCIS, Nebraska Service Center, Lincoln, NE on July 2nd 2007. It was received in the mailroom at 7.55am (reference : FedEx tracking number xxxx).

    USCIS website says NSC are working with August 2007 received AOS applications. However, I haven't heard any sort of communication pertaining to my pending application with USCIS. USCIS Customer Service would not pull up my application information in the system yet. Seems like USCIS is either not following the First in First out (FIFO) process for sure or the figures are misleading.

    Details as provided below:

    First Name of Applicant: xxx
    Last Name of Applicant: xxx
    Date of Birth: xxxx
    FedEx Tracking No: xxxx

    I would greatly appreciate if your office can help me to track and process my AOS application delivered to NSC on July 2nd 2007. Please feel free to contact me at xxxx for any additional information.


    Thanks and Best Regards,

    I don't want to be a spoilsport.

    But there is a possibility that EB2I has not yet retrogressed (inspite of heavy porting) because USCIS knows EB1C 12000 will flow to EB2 right. In that case we may not see movement of dates in par with 12000 spillover.

    Maybe I am pessimistic.

    In all calculations, it is mentioned that porting at max could be 6k/year. How did we come up with this number? Any proof or just a guess?

    Thanks.

    "Inspite of heavy porting". Dude, with just two posts, and that in last 2 months, where do you get that info.
    Let us know how did you come up with that conclusion.

    Very well said.
    1. DOS has to move fast in May to test if there are hidden demand (ppl who missed 07/2007 filing, porting, dependent filing). Those new filing cannot get be approved before October 2011. So they can move up to Nov/Dec 2006 safely in May. Also DOS/CIS, who communicate with each other for sure, will know they should process those pre-adjudicated cased first to clear the inventory.
    2. In June, July, August, they could be cautious but still move ahead up to March 2007.
    3. September is critical, as that time, if DOS doesn't want to waste any quota, (100% CIS cannot approve any cased filed in that month), they have to move to a point to get all quota used. Based on 12K/half year, or 12K/year from EB1, say 20K be safe this year from EB1. 7K from EB2 ROW as last year, 8K from EB3, 0 from FB (EB2 get only 10k/4 last year as 10K FB is divided by Eb1/2/3/4), and normal 2.8K for EB2 I/C each (6K total), there are total 41K possibly for EB2 I/C.
    4. Porting (6K this year), New filing (ppl who missed 07/07 with PD before 07/07), could have a negative efffect
    5. The inventory for EB2 I/C is about 34K before 07/2007 (based on DOS October/2010 and CIS inventory)
    6. This is very close. Will DOS move beyond 07/2007 a little to allow new filings (those won't get approved in Sept) and also make CIS easier to clear all 07/2007? This will be a judgement call. I am 50/50 on that.
    7. There are many factors that will play in the scenario.. But I am sure EB2 I/C 09/2011 PD will be pass
    May 2007 100%
    June 2007 80%
    July 2007 60%
    Sept 2007 30%
    Nov 2007 10%
    Dec 2007 or Current 0% (DOS/CIS learned the lesson)

    Explantion is Very rationale rodnyb. Thanks.

    I personally do not travel through a country that are biased and requires a transit visa for specific countries only. If you think about it, most of the international flights are full of us, Indians. If everybody (including Indians with GCs, that do not require a transit visa) start boycotting such airlines/country transits, then they will have to change this policy.

    As I said before, I am never going to fly thru UK, even though I sill have a transit visa valid till Nov 2008. I can still feel the pain.

    I don't have H1 backup and already in 8th year. I am on self employment, But my lawyer suggested to apply H1extension (through my company) as a backup if MTR denied. If MTR are successful they I don't have to go on through H1 hassle again..

    what is the thoughts/advise of your lawyer on EAD status? Before H1 is available (if at all in your case) can you continue working on EAD?

    Did you send email to CIS Ombudsman and explained your case? If you read this thread, his email address and guidance to send email are provided. Do this if you haven't done it so far.

    My Lawyer's response - You should be aware that you cannot file two I-485 applications. If you file individually, there is no option to file as a dependent UNLESS the pending I-485 is withdrawn.



    Awaiting reponse from my wifes lawyer.
    ask the lawyer about specific issues that can happen if multiple filing is done.
