Totally agree with you. Its so unfair for people who are waiting for a loooooog time. And suddenly find themselves as being left out.
We came to know only few of the once who have posted in other forums that they got GC with PD as fresh as Jan2007, and they posted it in the forum because they were afraid if their GCs would ever be reverted....
So, I think there are probably a lot more out there who might have got the GC and are keeping it quite, so that they don't stir up the folks who are waiting so patiently (which of course is weaning thin by the day!!).
Totally unfair, unjustified.
Maybe we should..........
1) Send letters to USCIS, highlighting the plight of those waiting patiently and folks who joined recently got the GC. Send anonymous letters if you fear of being put under the scanner.
2) All the IT folks who are here in the US are probably in the higher 10% bracket. Maybe we all should collectively hire a lobby group in Washington. That's the only solution, it works well.
Thats all I can think of right now....
Yup, there are a lot more with PD's in 2006 who got their GC then what's evident in the forums. Most of them have like 3 posts on the forum, and Lo and behold.. the only time they wanna post something it's the news about their GC approval.... STINKS!!
Sending Letters and Lobbying is a good idea.. I support anything which will draw media attention to this scam.... just want USCIS to be exposed.. maybe even lure an honest journalist ( TIMES Magazine or Fortune ) to do an editorial about the wrong policies of USCIS.
I would say that they will be interested, as they love exposing Govt agencies in general.
To all you folks against the lawsuit, how does this idea sound ?
If anyone has a better idea, I am willing to listen.

Are you sure that your application was received on Aug 8th, 2008?
If ture then this is the shortest time I have ever seen for EAD approval.
Lucky you!
May be your Green Card producttion was ordered! Please share your experience.
Hi,
This is for my wife's first time EAD.
Category: EB2, TSC
Priority Date: June 20, 2006
I-485 filing date: July 17th, 2007
Paper based EAD application Received date: Aug 8th, 2008
LUD : Aug 12th, 2008
Card Production Ordered : Aug 16th, 2008
That was pretty quick.
Funny part is, I haven't received receipt notice yet.

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.

I disagree.
Why is it not easy to change from EB3 to EB2?
We have to decide what is important in life for us. Current job/salary/promotion/ status quo or Geeencard?
If someone wants EB2, they can change their job and apply again. The law does not prohibit that. So stop blaming unfair laws.
So the only reason why a lot of us are in EB3 is becasue we have chosen to stay with the current employer who pays us well and do not want to take the risk of a new employer. So it is our choice and not injustice. The system allows us options. We cannot want a cake and eat it too. I am also trying to find a new employer to change my job and file in EB2. Everyone is free to do that.
And stop claiming that you are fit for EB2 but are stuck in EB3. If you are fit for EB2 then why don't you apply in EB2? If you have a masters degree you can find a new job with EB2 that needs a masters degree. Anyone who does not have masters degree then get work experience and change your job to file in EB2. Ultimately we have to decide what we want.
yes, technically that is possible. But practically it may not be possible for the same reasons you said.
And to me they are valid. So you are asking some one in EB3 2002 to quit his current job and apply for EB2 because the system is inefficient and cannot grant him GC in 7 years and if tomorrow he does not get under EB2 as well, you will advocate him to file under EB1??
You are asking to adjust my body size to fit a dress instead of altering the dress itself. Just because the system provides 100 loopholes/opportunities/possibilities, does not mean one has to explore everything to get justice from the system. As I said, not EVERYONE can do that. Nevertheless, it is easy to give advise.

the point here is not how long its gonna take. Its sure that they r gonna work if not immediately may be in 3-4 months. and once they see all the proofs(i do have proofs) whole company will be audited rock bottom, all the gc filing will be verified and single loophole is just enough to cause irriparable damage to the company. not only the reputation but i heard they will have a high penalty of 100's of thousands dollars. I have contacted one of the top lawfirms.for the matter of $4000 if the company chooses to do it, its their foolishness. also if they genuinely wanted to enforce non compete they wouldn't have used it as a threat agiainst payments they owe me.
Its not that I haven't made any efforts to reconcile with my ex-employer. I have tried and still trying to get them to have a civil conversation and settle this. But the more I try, i beleive, they r thinking the more scared i am and are being arrogant by not replying to any of my emails or phone calls. My reconciling efforts are giving them wrong hints i beleive. I am definetly stressed about this,thats true, but i am not scared because of all the info i gathered, I know even they do file a suit, I will be on the winning side. though i have option to go directly to DOL or USCIS and can show all the proofs i have regarding the deductions they have made, i haven't made till today just because of the kind of relationship we had earlier and also concerned about other h1bs who r with the company right now. I dont want their GC's to be in jeopardy. but if employer doesn't make the effort from his side, and pulls the thread till it breaks, i can't help it.
.
Dude, I do not know who has given you red dot, you certainly deserve more green dots. I too think the same, if the company had to sue you for violating non-compete, they could have done it anytime, why are they threatening you when you ask for your salary. Either they do not have a non-compete agreement that they say you have signed (since you are not sure about it) or the non-compete has become invalid over a period of time or it does not hold water.

Last year we started a major membership campaign in Colorado. People kind of agreed that IV is the appropriate platform for this crusade, and they were willing to contribute money, but only if they see required transparency in the IV organization. Members of the state chapters have so far not heard about how the contributed money is spent, and what kind of lobbying took place in Washington.
Is good to hear the cheers of "IV is our only hope", and yes in one way it is, but unless we bring required reform to IV, the status quo will maintain. That is several years since its inception : limited number of paying members, half hearted participation in various campaigns, and inactive state chapters.

On July 13th, 2007, DoS provided a glimmer of hope to these aspiring legal immigrants, by announcing in their visa bulletin (http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_3258.html) that all Employment-based green card applicants and their dependents would be eligible to apply for their Green cards, during the month of July 2007
It is June 13th not July13th the first visa bulletin sent out by DoS.
Thanks

I hope many people will contribute when the days are close. The sad part is that they do not realize that IV needs to know the collection amount details in advance to organize a mega event.
50 thousand members and only 10 people contributed?
Shameful. If this is the situation, will IV cancel the event?

As much as all of us on this board would like to get our GCs, remember that GC is just a means to an end, it is not the end itself. Dont make the GC so important that not getting it starts "depressing" you.
Focus on the positives - the years that you have spent in the US have given you great experiences, some savings (hopefully:)), better perspective on life etc. Wherever you live, you can put these things to good use.
So chill out ! Getting depressed is not going to get you your GC faster.;)
P.S. I voluntarily dumped my 2003 PD to take up a new job & now I have a Dec 2006 PD. I have bought a house (and also sold one). I do not plan to allow GC to dictate my life.....

Would also like to thank Gopal (gsc999) for getting all the banners done and helping a lot in organizing the SJ rally.Kudos to all Noble souls in the IV Core. I think what IV has acheived is amazing and unprecedented. Also money is too small to repay all the hours and work you guys have put in.
I am sure God will bless all of you with a timely GC :). Best Wishes again.

You got it just right. Dear friend, this is the truth for immigrant community. Everyone here stands for their own GC, how can we expect others to fight for you. So as and when USCIS hurts different categories, people come here and form a loosely coupled organization.
now that eb2 is retrogressed .. eb2 ( not that i have anything against them) are asking everybody including eb3 to contribute , send faxes be Vocal . That is my friend India for you
it is each one for himself .how many people who got their gc visit this forum , may be a hand full others forget about this forum and move on in life

OK gurus need your help with this!
Appreciate your efforts in helping all of us. Thanks.
My questions are:
I am in H1B status and plan to keep it. I need to go for Landing in Canada (PR approved). I have pending I-485 with approved AP, and EAD(not using).
1. My passport with old H1B visa is expired. The H1B visa is also expired in may 2007. I have new valid passport(India) with Canada Immigrant Visa and approved I-797 extension for H1B till 2010. Can I safely use automatic visa revalidation to come back after landing considering expired visa in expired passport?
If I decide to go for Stamping:
2. If stamping gets denied or delayed, can I come back in with AP?
3. I may have to file EAD renewal application before I leave. Is it safe to travel outside US after filing for EAD renewal or will the application be considered abandoned. I plan on using H1B stamp or automatic revalidation to come back.
My wife is H4-> F1-> now pending AOS because using EAD(from I-485 pending not OPT).
She will accompany me to canada with pending EAD renewal application:
1. Will her EAD application be abandoned or is there no risk? She will be using AP to come back.
2. Does she need to carry employment verification letter etc. I know for OPT EAD they recommend not to travel while EAD application is pending or carry an offer of employment or verification letter to help re-enter.
3 Does she need to submit all her I-94's when exiting US? I know she will get new one with AP expiry date and Pending AOS stamped at entry.
