Guess What from NOV - 08 to July 09, the VB will have older Cut off dates and after July 09 DOS will open the flood gate and move the cutoff of to 2007 or even 2008.
USCIS will start approve the cases with later PD's and the leave the older PD's on the air.
It is a mess. I don't have any trust in USCIS
There are 3 work categories,
at least 3 queues each for three stages.
the first queue had at one time, rir, regular and then bec, perm added to the mix.
EB portings.
07/07 havoc
name check delays.
a single queue at the end.
bottomline, PD monthly graph is arbitrary.
if your PD remains current for at least three months in a row and everything else is clear, there is good chance you are out of the pipeline.

especially the reasons you gave as to why this bill is interesting...this bill does not scream employment based immigration but as I see it it does have has employment based visa provisions along with much wider and extensive family based gc provisions ..also there is no mention of temporaray visas / temp workers with tis bill..no mention of legalizing illegals to legal ....it is focussed exclusively on reducing waiting time for GCs for folks who are in the queue with more emphasis on family based
Salient features of Bill: S.1085
After analyzing this bill, I found the following:
1. This bill will recapture all those unused employment based visas (gcs) from 1997 till 2008 and it will add those recaptured visas to this year's employment based quota.
2. After the passage of this bill, any unused visas will rollover to the next year. So, no more wastage of visas as we go forward.
3. Per country limit will be increased from 7% to 10%, so more folks from over subscribed countries would be able to come under the normal yearly quota.
4. We will be able to avail the benefits of the recapture after 60 days of the passage of the bill. That means, if they are able to recapture 220,000 (approx) employment based visas, the employment based category will be able to use all those after 60 days of the passage of this bill. USCIS is pre-adjudicating all I485s pending and if this bill gets passed in say for eg by October 30, almost all (80%) in this community (who filed 485) would be able get their GCs in Jan and Feb of 2010.
What makes this bill much more interesting is:
1. This is not a bill targetting the issues of Employment based category - So there won't be a huge backlash against this in the name of the economy and recession. The provisions for the employment category are just one item in this bill.
2. Family based immigration reform has a wider range of support from all kinds of groups unlike Employment based immigration reform. Just search for this bill "Reuniting Families Act" in google news and you can identify all those organizations supporting this bill (they all have a news release).

I am a Chemical Engineer ( 16 years in India as a Senior Guy + more than 5 years in US )
I am a founder team member of a high technology advanced material company, created with the help from a VC & active support of local congressman. We literally reopened a closed factory in Ohio to start this R&D / manufacturing company. ( Politicians have been making a lot of noise to revive manufacturing economy in Midwest)
We have hired about 18 people till now & we are NOT an IT company
I was accorded honorary citizenship by the mayor of city of Clinton, MS in 1989 for my extracurricular activities but did not move to US untill 2000
For last five years I have been through this immigration circus & had to file L/C multiple times. Currently, I am not able to file I-485 & I am in my 6th Year of H1-B
PCS case is more useful as he is not purely from IT/Software
Every body else have misconception that retrogression -- backlog is affecting only software professionals(yes we are more number of affected people)
seems he is a senior mature guy and can represent our concerns corrctly., did one one from IV talk with him personally?

what kind of attitude is this. If he/she is eligible to apply they should apply.
Sorry!If it was rude!!No offence meant...Me thinks it is more of a pain than gain!!Like what if your 485 gets approved b4 u file for your spouse's...There are still solutions as much as problems!!It would only benefit guys who are desperate for EAD but then again if you have your I-140 cleard and with serious retrogressions expected you could still get 3 year H1B extensions!!!

great work everyone. thank you nycgal and others that took initiative and pushed this effort further. committed members like all of you in this thread help us a lot by sending emails to reporters. several letters highlighting a particular issue generates interest in reporters and media orgs and they choose to write about us. It is not easy to get even a single article published in newspapers and it is due to the efforts of our members, we are able to generate awareness. There is still a long road ahead of us and I am sure with active participation from everyone, we will surely succeed.

Few months back, 2 DMV officers gave me a tough time in CT. I wrote strong complaint and got a reply that, it will be allright if I go again and I went for the 3rd time and got it without hasstles.
Here is what happened
Dear Mr. Vemula,
This reply is in response to your email of 5/20/06 in which you

the difficult time you have had in obtaining a CT license. Please be

It shows that the interpretation of law is not same everywhere.
some people get it easily and some dont. Bridgeport, CT DMV is very crowded most of the time and tough to get things done. There are a lot of people of a kind that come there and it is tough. you must try Westport etc kind of areas next time.

When you send all the relevant documents to invoke AC21, there is every possibility for the officer to check whether you have an approved EAD or not. In that case there might be a problem. I may not be correct. But to switch to a new employer, you definitely need a EAD card. I switched employers. My new employer asked for work permit(EAD in this case)
Note : Please check with your attorney, I'm just one like you and this is my experience
The only thing I agree in post is that check with attorney.
EAD has nothing to do with invoking AC-21. Please do some research before posting any information. Remember GC is for the future job and not for the current job.

Hi,
My EAD renewal was filed in TSC in the middle of June. Now it is more than 2 months I haven't heard anything from them. I wonder do they request for FP during EAD renewal ? When I applied for EAD first time in 2007 there was no request for FP and the EAD was approved without FP. But I have seen several posts where folks mentioned that they have got FP notification after they filed their EAD renewal. I have done one FP beginning of 2008 as part of my AOS filed on July 2, 2007. So, I wonder do I receive another FP notification as part of my EAD renewal or USCIS can use my existing FP (they may have in their system) ?
Thanks

I recently got an RFE to prove that my Master's degree is a three year course (and not a two year program) because the degree and the combined three year transcript don�t specifically state that it was a three year program.
I have three year of Bachelor�s (BSc) and three year of Master�s (MCA) education, which was used to qualify for EB-2. I also have more than 10 years of experience in a related field.
Unfortunately, I only have a combined three year transcript with a list of all the courses completed as part of program (Year 01, 02 and 03) and not three separate transcripts for each year of the program.
I also have an education evaluation to prove that it is equivalent to MS in USA, which was submitted with the original application.
I recently obtained a letter from the University stating that it was three year degree program with year of joining and completing the exam but my attorney strongly recommends on getting transcripts for all the years individually, which may not be feasible to obtain in a timely manner. She is not willing to do a fresh education evaluation and to respond the RFE without transcripts of each session/year.
I know lot of my friends have successfully got their I-140 approved with a combined three year transcript from same University.
What are my options? I need a second opinion and a possible representation, if required.
RFE has to be responded by March 22, 2011

We me and my husband took infopass on 95th day of reciept date
(11/28/2007). The USCIS officer was not that friendly, but she promised to send an e-mail to main office. The very next day (11/29/2007)we had an update on website that EAD cards were ordered and we got it today. The date on the cards was 11/29/2007. It worked for us. It is really depends on the officer you speak with.

Aadimanav or anyone,
I am planning to send a letter to President, First Lady, DOS chief besides other Govt. rep. Anyone has the addresses?
I am in CP and I am writing to them to allow CP filers who are already working here in the US to file for AOS (even if the PD is not current) anticipating a very long delay for EB3 I. That way we could get atleast the minimal benefits like EAD, AP.
If any CP filers from EB3 I wanna join me, more than welcome!

What makes people think that USCIS has preadjudicated cases in the order of priority date. If they have preadjudicated cases from 2005,2006 and left the cases from 2003 -2004 then it is the same mess an d i can bet that knowing USCIS chance of this are very very high so even if your date gets current it is still luck whether you get GC ornot.
EB2 - I
PD: Jul 2004
While everything appears at USCIS to work randomly, but there is some order. They claim, and also follow, that they process application in order they receive. "Process" means to open a case the first time, and order they "receive" means when a center enters a case data in the system (this date is close to ND). Until this point, PD has no role to play. Described processes work well for non-retrogressed cases (for countries other than India, China, etc.). If a case is opened, and its all in order to clear except the visa availability, it is called preadjudication. Procedures described (see link below, although they may have changed since), state that once case is preadjudicated, they should be ordered in PD sequence for further work.
http://www.ilw.com/seminars/august2002_citation2b.pdf
Of course, if there is nothing preadjudicated, cases will go in sequence of "received date", which is close to ND, as PD is not even recorded in the system anywhere until a case file is opened.

See link to senate rule (particularly, Rule No. 4).
http://rules.senate.gov/senaterules/rule16.php
Cornyn's amendment is "general legislation" seeking to amend an "appropriations bill". To be able to vote on Cornyn's amendment, 60 Senators have to vote to waive Rule No. 4. Only then can the senate vote on Cornyn's "general legislation".
Sorry to flog a dead horse but the Dems should not be blamed; if they had voted to waive the Rule, then all sorts of general amendments would have been offered by others and tough to cast aside.
On the other hand, it is useful to know that more than a handful repubs support this amendment; this could be handy in an actual vote when Sessions or his ilk seeks to filibuster the amendment. We may have 60 votes to win cloture.
