Please whats all these arguments about? MS from the states, BS + 10 years experience etc. Please we don't need all these. There are people that come to the states and dont even pay a dime in tuition instead they even get paid - in the form of research assistanships and scholarships.
Whatever the case, it is not fair to come to the US work for a long period of time and then get thrown out (say after 6 years) like the H1B visa.
What we need to concentrate our energy and efforts on is for congress to create a PATH for SELF SPONSORSHIP of GCs. For example, if u have lived LEGALLY in the US for 5 or more years, paid taxes and stayed out of troble then you should be able to apply for a green card. That gives you some hope that if I do such and such then one day I'd qualify for a green card. It also takes care of those that started counting as F1 then H1. It balances out everything.
The way it is now, there is no hope. Everything is uncertain. We are living uncertain lives. If we get sacked, we dont even know what step to take next. It is so dipressing and furstrating. Thats exactly what it is tempoary workers living TEMPOARY LIVES. Some are just waiting until 6 years H1 B expires and then .... yes and then what?? They dont even know. As it is most employers are unwillingly to sponsor GC. Why go through all the troubles??
Of course a lot of guys have gone ahea and gotten married just to get GC and which brings back the question... who is the system designed for? Those who struggle to abide by the law or those who take the short but fraudlent route. Your guess is as good as mine.
So this is what we should be fighting for... a PATH in such a way that you can SELF SPONSOR and not frivolous arguements between ourselves..... Spread the word!

Agreed that H-1B has a fixed date. But from the employer standpoint, you're their "full-time, permanent" employee on H-1B, right?
Now you have come down from legal standpoint to employer standpoint! :D
The answer to your question is No.
Employer sponsors GC so that employee that is temporarily employed on H-1B can become permanently employed on GC job.
Again, you are mixing H-1B job with GC job.
Let me ask that question again (because you got confused last time)
Look at the I-140 application for GC (Page 2, Part 6, Question 5)
http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-140.pdf
I wonder why uscis is asking "Is this a permanent position?", if according to you, "*no* job in this country is "permanent" (legally speaking)"
Did your attorney put No for this question for your I-140 app?
You still believe that no job is permanent. If so, all I can say, more power to you.
Have a good day!

I think this is an unexplored point. Thanks for bringing it up guys.
I think IV needs to hire a good immigration attorney. May be IV can start a new funding drive to see, if members are really interested this hiring an attorney. The same attorney also can help us by answering our questions.

1) If the dates have retrogessed to 01/2000, that means that there are atleast some cases of 2000 that have now been cleared for processing and will be dealt with first before the rest.
2) It also means that there are sufficient numbers of these to have caused this problem. The numbers might be sufficient to use up all of this years allocation?
3) once these severely backlogged cases are cleared may be we can see some forward movment?
Either way this certainly adds a couple of years to the already 4+ years of average wait. Without much exact information from the USCIS we can do nothing other than start the next prediction:D
For sure legal alternatives wont help. the country cap is to ensure equal opportunity for smaller countries which dont have enough infrastructure as large countries such as India/china. We cannot expect the country cap to be removed.

How long you guys think it will take to get EAD and AP for June1st fillers..
https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp has processing times for each of the service centers.
Late last week, they've posted the dates as of June 15th. Unfortunately the dates have gone back like crazy (especially NSC).

Hello friends,
I was wondering about the FP notice time frame. I had applied for 485/EAD/AP on July 2nd at NSC which later got transferred to TSC. Receipts indicate that notice date is 8/27.
I was wondering how many days does it take to get FP notice from the 485 notice date? data indicates that some of the TSC guys who have notice dates of 8/29 have already got their FP notices scheduled for mid september.
Thanks.

Hello
I dont have access to the certified labor copy , I am just wondering if we need it for AC21 purposes. I am not sure how to get it from my desi employer/ desi lawyer. I have a job offer with a fortune 200 company which is willing to do H1b transfer/extension so I am opting for H1b instead of EAD. I am pretty sure about the job description will satisfy the same/similar test.
Is the job title and job description mentioned on the labor cert? Mine is a pre perm case. Is it good to have copy of labor cert for AC21?

If you are asking just about this thread, yes there is a spreadsheet tracking this.
If in general, i am sorry i am not aware of anything.
Is there any way of knowing how much each user has contributed? (I am not interested in knowing about others ) but would be nice to know atleast for myself how much I contributed.
Thanks

Its not about stereotyping...its about being fair....how can people who have come here illegally be allowed a path to naturalization while we have been waiting in line for so long? I came here because I had a certain idea about the makeup and composition and ideology of this country (liberty, equality, etc.) Making such a move will invariably change the demographic of the nation. Now that would be an intentional act. Not the natural pace at which migration/assimilation and diversification occurs. I have nothing against that.
Would somebody call you racist if you say that you dont want to move to a ghetto because the standard of living is not good? NO. The fact that you dont want to move to a ghetto does not mean that you are prejudiced about the people who live there.
The statement about corruption and inefficiencies is not slander but just a simple observation. If you dont agree with that, then most likely you would prefere to live in/immigrate to some Latin country instead of being here/coming to USA.
I wont open the argument about the burden the illegal people will put on welfare etc. considering that they are typically from a income bracket that does not contribute much to taxes.
It is very easy for people to use a cliched terms like racist/bigots etc when arguing for amnesty but if racism was the core argument against amnesty, one would not see the kind of backlash that one is seeing from the masses after CIR was introduced.
All Americans think it is unfair to reward behaviour that is against the law. Not to mention the fact that they will have to take the burden of welfare of the legalized illegal people while they themselves dont know if there will be any welfare/social security benefits available when they are ready to retire.
If you calling someone racist, please explain why you are saying so.

If opinion polls and media coverage are any indication, it appears democrats shall rule
the house.
For us the best congress would be the one which passes SKIL bill.
It was unfortunate that despite Republicans ruling the house, they did not even discuss
anything on immigration, specially for high tech skilled workers, even though SKIL was
introduced by Republican leaders.
I hope they do *something* during lame duck session.

RD is July 20th
ND is August 17th
Did not file AP or EAD because I was think it may slow down my application, but I was just guess on this beside I don't need to change job or travel.
Guru people, on my notice it says above my Name A094 XXX XXX is this number my GC number?
Thank you
As it starts with Axxx, I think it should be Alien Number.

USCIS can't consume or approve more than 10% of annual limit which is 14,000 per quarter. However this is not applicable for last fiscal quarter. DOS intention is good to make the current in July so that no visa goes in vain. Evil USCIS woke up and approved in two weeks so that rest of the ppl can file next year with higher fees.

We will each individually send flowers to Emilio Gonzalez to be delivered July 10th. There is a suggestion to use a paypal account where we contribute money. However no one has come forward to take over the account so far.
The theme of the note attached to the flowers should be Sympathy or Get well.
Preferred Message(Sympathy): All the best for future Employment Based visa estimates
I do like the "Get Well: Hope USCIS recovers from its insanity" message as well
July 07th - Last day to mail flowers (I doubt if they can deliver on Tuesday if we order on Monday)
July 08th - Draft the letter to be mailed to media.
July 09th - Finalize the letter and mass mail it to every media email addresses we have.
July 10th - hope the media take the bait!
Great!! People are already talking about the flowers to USCIS. By the way, there are flower websites, with same day delivery.

Can you let us know how did you search your case by? Website, what data do I need to pull the record? I dont have my labor copy with me. Also I dont know where my labor was filed.
I searched my case on FLC data center and found following for my LC approval
Employer_Job_Title = Computer Project Manager
Prevailing_Wage_Job_Title = Computer Project Manager
Prevailing_Wage_Level = Level II
Prevailing_Wage_SOC_CODE = 11-9041.00
Prevailing_Wage_SOC_Title = Engineering Managers
Prevailing_Wage_Source = OES
While I work as senior software/application developer in my current role with the same employer who filed my LC and GC.
Now I am getting an offer from another employer with same title "Senior Software Engineer".
Is it advisable to change job as my job code (job description) might be different from the one that was mentioned in LC?
Thanks in advance for your inputs and thoughts.
