I don't think it will do much good sueing uscis on this issue. The point is, they have the legal authority to be the one interporating the law. So, if there is "gray area" in the law, the law says it is their understanding that matters, not ours or any one else's. So, unless the law very specifically says it must be done in another way, you can not argue uscis did the wrong thing.
Now that we see the immigration law does not very specifically regulate how the flow should be like, so uscis have the authority to "understand the intention of the law" and act accordingly. You can't say you think the law means otherwise and thus sue uscis, because that argument makes no sense to the court. The court will only accept the argument when the government is apparently acting against the law.
Absolutely, I have seen misleading comments especially from EB2 guys. EB3 have to do something otherwise there is no future for us here. Now EB2 line will never end bcoz all new applications will come as EB2. Hoping for spillover after EB2-I becomes current is just a dream now that never comes true.

Let's give them one more month. I just hope that if they are using LIFO now (latest application received being entered into the system), they should also use LIFO in processing the cases, meaning the last case entered (probably an early July filer) will be the first one to be processed.....just a wishful thinking.

Got CPO email this afternoon. I did not get any other emails (like welcome or decision emails) before this email. Is that normal to send the CPO email before sending the decision notice email?
Thanks,

Congrats ans wishes to those who got their approvals.
Reading thru the forum I found there different status for approvals, some say they status was changed to 'Decision' with a msg new permanent resident status is registered and others say CPO email, I presume CPO as Card Production Ordered. I think both are different statuses, can some one please explain why some get 'Decision' and others get CPO directly.
Mine is still pending, just wanted to know as expecting the magic mail any time, since I did everything I could to expedite the approval.

I am not supporting any fraud, but what I said is, if you find workplace discrimination and contact a career guide, they ask you to find another job. Most sincere career guides will not support lawsuits or retaliation against employer unless you are not in a position to find other work. Even read career sites for women and advice, even in cases of sexual harrassment, they ask the victim to move on as a sensible thing to do, because in the end the company will somehow make the victim lose her job. There have been 1000s of USC Vs USC cases. I am not supporting any fraud but what I am saying is retaliation leaves bad taste in the mouth and world is a small place. For larger good of your rest of career best thing to do is move on.
Only some crooked lawyer who wants money will tell you, you are doing the right thing.
Your arguments seem almost convincing. I will have to agree with you that it might be best for the OP's career to just move on to another job and ignore all the gross violations at his work place. Wouldn't that be selfish though? Who is going to set things right, if everyone cares about his/her own career advancement?
I think you should advise half of the people to move on to other jobs and the other half to fight the violations. Fair?

Opened SR on 8/3 and InfoPass appointment on 8/9 (useless)
Received SR response on 8/11 saying the application is in review.
Seems like SR works!!! Finally something that works!!!
My only confusion now is my application status - "On August 13, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later."
I do not know what ADIT means? Did anyone get similar response? What are the next steps from here in your experience? Thank you for the help in advance.
Just an update from my end that I checked my status online again and I now see the CPO status....also received the CPO emails while I was typing this message....GLTA!!!

Is this correct ....
We did further research and found out that, Vonage considers more than 5,000 minutes per line per month for unlimited residential calling and more than 10,000 minutes per line per month for unlimited small business calling is not to be considered normal use. That means the moment you run over 5000 minutes (Vonage World Plan is residential plan), Vonage will cut you off.
Lets do some calculations for calling India. You pay $25 a month and you will get 5000 minutes per month of calling. $25/5000 minutes means 0.5 cents per minutes which is really cheap.
Free VOIP Solution Free calls Worldwide (http://voipguides.blogspot.com/)
Along with free india callling you also have the basic feature of calling unlimited in US for 24.99. Which looks pretty good to me. I already have a vonage service for 24.99 and it was a free upgrade to this new plan(after i called the customer service rep) and still i am paying the same 24.99 which is good.

Thank you, FatJoe, for sharing your experience.
Would you mind sharing which state you reside in? I am wondering if anyone contacted Maryland senators/congressmen.
Neelu:
My attr said that uscis does not follow any chrological order to approve cases. Rather, it takes any 485 application filed before Jan 22, 05. So, your point on "giving more time" won't work here.
This is what I did. I did not get GC yet though, but got to know where I'm at.
1. Contacated NCS numerous times and raised two SRs.
2. Took inforpass a couple of times. Infopass IOs have more detailed info about our cases.
3. Contact Senator requesting that my appln be assigned to an IO, and it was done so. It is with an IO now. Hoping and praying that my IO picks up application to approve it this week.
4. Contacted Ombudsman late last week. Hoping to get some good actions taken on my application.
5. You might consider contacting Janet Napolitino as well.
All the best.

that's is how my attorney sent it to me. I just looked at my record copy and answering such questions like this.
By the way fellow IVans, don't forget to keep one copy of every thing (of course NOT the sealed cover)of AOS, EAD, AP filing for your records and future reference. Friday evn. after 3.00 PM is a good time at your office copier. Don't use - Automatic Document feeder (whatever thay call it - you pile your papers on top and press button); do it the hard way. One paper after another.
Don't comeback and CRY that you Original Approval Notice or I-94 or BC or something like that was stuck in the copier and now damaged.
In the section 11 of the document what should be the text incase you are supporting your spouse and child @100%
Appreciate your help

The item mentioned above is for EB2, meaning any spill over to EB2 is from unused EB1.
for EB3 the ACT mentions the following
Visas shall be made available, in a number not to exceed 28.6 percent of such worldwide level, plus any visas not required for the classes specified in paragraphs (1) and (2), to the following classes of aliens who are not described in paragraph (2):
The meaning is EB3 gets all unused from EB1 and EB2... This is the catch, does this mean spillover from EB1 after EB2 catches up (or) spillover from EB1 even if EB2 is not current..
If they have done spillover from EB1 to EB3, even when EB2 is not current...we can give this a try.
Sorry for the confusion...Just got excited and went over the allocation of visas from the ACT
http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=cb90c19a50729fb47fb0686648558 dbe
It actually comes down to the language. I haven't read the rollover from EB to FB (if at all it happens), but look at the language for EB1. It talks about regular number + any not used by EB5. The language for EB5 is lost when it trickles down.
Does it mean: 1. EB5 can only be used by Eb1 and not rolled down further?
or
2) Does it mean that any of the EB5 unused numbers that are also not required by Eb1 rolls down to EB2.
If it is choice 1, then I suspect we have no case. If however, it is choice 2, then it is clear through the language that spill over Eb1 goes to Eb2 and EB3 at the same time. If not, based on the language of EB1, Eb3 would have just said "unused numbers of EB2", which means it would use Eb1 numbers only if Eb2 did not need them.
Suggestion to go via AILA is a good one, but do we have contact into AILA??

Just because you are not getting your own greencard fast enough, you are posting against L1s. If you had an opportunity, you will also apply as L1 for greencard. Did you all not try for Labor Subs? Antis are posting such messages to provoke you. If they want to report, let them report. Why creating fake profiles and posting against our L1 brothers.

Good job slumdogs. You are becoming a puppet of anti-immigrants. Today they are using you to throw your L1 brothers out. Tomorrow they will throw you out. There is fraud in H1 too. No visa is perfect. Just like no American citizen is perfect. 1 in 100 citizen has gone to jail.
If you have so much energy and motivation, why don't you go after anti-immigrants and expose their evil.
Educated idiots!
