to all BEC folks:
your anguish is so very legitimate. i, for one, feel truly bad for you.
you deserved relief and nothing has come so far.
there is no harm in venting your frustration on a thread, i don't think anyone can blame you for feeling screwed.
but peace friends, iv's fight is not over by a long shot. we stand together for relief for all- including you. i hope that BEC releases the approvals quickly, and you guys will certainly be current. in fact you will have GC long before many filing 485's now.
let's keep working, keep lobbying, keeping fighting the good fight and please don't despair. we are all with you.
i hope i speak on behalf of all fair minded iv members- and there are plenty.
I second your message paskal.

Well it is worse than you thought.
People who haven't even started their green card process yet can buy a labor from any bodyshop, use it to file their 140 and 485 concurrently and get a foothold in the great american GC mela. Howzaat.
I am not negative if I say --- most IV member want to change job--- frustration with status co may be... --- feeling exploited... --- may be....

Just a quick question to people who had their 485 approved.
Did any one of you have two different A#s (one on 140 and other on 485)?
I have two different A #s and in when I applied for AP and EAD, I had used the one on 485 and both were approved.

There are lot of support and response for this thread and can Core IV team consider this to be included in their Phase 2 campaign?. It will be an added feature for our to be legal immigrant community. ^^ Bump^^
IMHO this would be great. i know i will be here supporting IV even after i get my GC. The truth of the matter is most users disappear as soon as they get their GC and stop supporting the greater cause (correct me if i'm wrong) of getting one's citizenship. I'm pretty sure we will probably see more users joining in to support this phase.
Then there are also the ones, that have the mindset that since getting the GC most of the weight is lifted off ones shoulders, and one can do pretty much (not all of course) anything that a citizen can. So the waiting for 5 years is not a burden to most. I'm not too sure if this is the case with everybody, but some that i know feel that way....

Many are porting to EB2 from EB3, Hope that clears some traffic @EB3. I hope USCIS will equally distribute the spill over in year or two with help of IV and lawfirms.
Its in 10s. Not even in 100s. And sadly, the DAMN drunk USCIS not taking this into consideration while setting a cut off dates for EB3 I. Either Visas get wasted or spilled over to other categories that are already in good shape, for ex EB 2 (Not specifically India).

Yes you are absolutely true..... We must have the luck factor also...
As in my case, my PD, RD, ND and BD (BD aka Birth Day also :) ) all are well with in the current processing time frame and still waiting for the mercy of Lord USCIS.
I am praying for those unlucky folks like me, who are still waiting in the queue, to get approvals before the available visas get exhaust.
B+ve
Yes, I just saw your profile. Your ND is early August, and PD is also quite high. You should have got approval now. Wish you very best. I hope you didn't make any job changes, or anything which flags a re-review.
BTW, I was in the same situation last year. When I saw so many of 2005 and 2006 PDs getting GC's I thought I was among the very few left out, but now I notice that there were so many of them. I got the magic emails in Dec 08 when they were looking at my AP renewal. Seems for some reason that triggered it. Perhaps GC was approved in Aug/Sep 08 but no one entered it in the system until Dec 08.

I am renewing my passport at Houston and sending it via mail. I was on F-1 originally and changed to H1-B last year. I do not have a H1-B stamp yet. What visa document or visa photocopies should I attach? Do they have to be notarized?
I have only have the new I-94 showing my H1-B status.
Thanks.
Another thing, my employer has the original approval notice I-797, I only have the I-94 part of it.

Hello everyone,
Here's my situation. H-1B for self and H-4 for wife valid through Jan 2010. However our respective visas have expired in Dec 2006. So we'll need to get restamping next time we leave the country. We intend to travel to India this Summer from May through July. Ideally we would like to get the stamping done then during our stay in India. However there is a complication (isn't there ever) since my wife has an employer willing to sponsor her H-1B (starting in Oct 2008). I heard from the gurus here that this will be a COS from H-4 to H-1B and it is strongly recommended not to travel when a COS is pending. I think my options are as follows :
1. Get H-4 visa stamping in India in June while there. Assuming we do a premium processing for my wife's H-1B in April and travel to India after the decision is made (say by May), will there be any problems getting the H-4 visa stamping for my wife in India since we want to return in July before her H-1B starts in Oct?
2. The other option is to get a new H-4 stamping done before applying for the COS in April. This will be either done in Canada or Mexico I guess.
3. Another option is to straight away get the H-1b stamping for my wife in India instead of H-4 but that will cause her to wait in India through October which we would like to avoid.
Personally, we would like to do the first option, just get the H-4 restamping done in June and get back to US by July. But since she'll probably have an active H-1B starting in October, wondering if that will cause any issues when we go for the H-4 stamping.
Thanks!

Guys, let us leave no soldier behind. Let us work on the number of years taxes have been paid + no criminal record. This will include all those who have been here paying their dues at work or at school. The point is: one behaves responsibly like a US citizen for many (5-10) years, yet do not have a shot at permanent residence, leave alone citizenship.

zecco.com is a good discount trader..
after you have accumulated 2500.. u get 10 trades per month free...
more than enough...for a retail trader..
its good if ur investment is less than 25k..
Try tradeking
I know some brokerages go deep.. but tradeking works out cool no minimum.
Just a little hassle as it is not directly attached to your checking..
Have a margin account and options account, but stay away from using margin and options.

I just found Feb 08 Stats (http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/APPLICATIONS%20FOR%20IMMIGRATION%20BENEFITS_Februa ry08.pdf) and in Feb 08 there were 787,516 I-485 cases pending. So this might be good news that the backlog is reducing?
Those 197k ( approx ) reduction could be from family based AOS.. until we get data from FOIA , we cannot relay on their information.. Its so broad range of figures they post.
Again who knows when they send us FOAI response.

In my case (see a few posts up), it took 70 days from e-filing date, and 36 days from FP date, to get to the "card production ordered" stage. So I would think your time line is about the same so far.

The situation is the same. In my case and of course in most of others too, what he/she said is correct. Waiting for Eb3 to cross 2001 has become a difficult thing. If I started an EB2 app rather than hoping positively, I would have finished my wait for GC.
Ever since retrogression started the dates have not crossed 2001. 245i or not, the backlog is a fact. Sad part, when there is action items from IV, trying to talk to my state members, I have realized and been told that IV does not cater to EB3 anymore. It is disheartening how much ever I try to explain, occasional members look at IV threads like EB2-EB3 predictions and say there is no hope for EB3 and also IV has no answer to it.
I tried my part...too bad I was not able to participate in the IV advocacy day due to family emergency. anyway, let us hope IV's persistence yields us the results. My heart goes for a lot of EB3s who may automatically qualify for EB2 just due to their experience.
Best of luck to all.
You are hearing utter nonsense from your friends. They have no inclination to find out the truth or wish to take part in the action item. Such armchair strategy folks are the reason we are all suffering in EB3 I. If these folks joined this effort and worked hard to fix it, we would have made lot more progress. Despite being highly educated, some people fall prey to divisive posts and opinions on the forums without checking the facts.
People who had come to the DC advocacy day this month know what we do and that our focus is solving EB retrogression completely. We do not talk about EB2 , EB3 categories. We talk about the overall retrogression in EB visas.
The biggest damage and threat to this effort is not from anti-immigrants or other interest groups but from people of our own community who spread lies, pursue personal agenda and grudges, talk against this effort and cause damage to this community effort. They forget that this damages their own cause. Have you seen divisive posts, or anti-organization posts on the forums of anti-immigrants? Just think about it.
After leading this effort for more than 4 years I have come to a realization that we as a community are the reason of our own failure and the reason for our own successes. There is nobody else to be blamed. If we have to blame someone for this broken system, it is ourselves for not being able to get together and fix it.
