Hello,
I have been going through this discussion. I am in a similar situation where I got a Welcome Notice saying my I-485 was approved and I should be receiving my card in 3 weeks when my PD is not current and in fact, the PD is a couple of years behind! It has been 6 months since I got the notice and no GC is in sight. After calling the customer service in March, they told me that they did not have my biometrics in their system and so I had to go for a biometrics appointment early April. It is almost 3 months since then and I still have no GC card. I know that there is a delay in card production, but at the same time, I am wondering if the I-485 approval was by mistake and that is causing the real problem. I am in talks with a lawyer who suggests it is better to correct the USCIS mistake right now rather than getting into complications in the long run. I am frustrated that I have to pay for an attorney for a mistake USCIS did and concerned what will happen in future when I proceed with their advice.
Could one of you who faced this situation descibe how you handled the situation or how you would handle this situation? In my case, there is no other I-485 or anything filed before and I have never been out of status or had any issue ever.
Thank you.
Could not believe this, unless you update your profile. Thanks

First of all, it is not "my" case. I have been waiting in line for my green card for the past 5 years with my labor stuck in BEC. So, under the current CIR draft, I will be one of the biggest losers as I have not filed for my I-140 and so, my whole application will go down the drain after 5 years of time, money, energy and emotional stress.
How do you come with a math where I will be able to get a GC immediately after 5 years if I apply under the points system? Did you even read the draft bill? How will I or anybody else for that matter, manage for next 5 years without a GC when they are squeezing out the H1B (fee increase, removal of dual intent etc)?? Next would be the per country hard quota that will put us in an eternally long line.
I would definitely compare the current mess of a EB based system with the untested point system and take the current system any time as it is a known devil. The merit system is no angel either. Atleast in the current system, if I wait long enough, I know that my turn will come.
How do you know that process delay would be minimal? USCIS's current delay is not because of process, it is because of the sheer volume of applications and lack of man power. The PERM system takes one month. If you pay premium processing, it takes them 15 days to clear your I-140. So, where is the delay in process? All the delay is from the past backlogs which this bill fails to address and at the I-485 stage where they have to do background checks. That will exist in the points system as well. After you discover the problems in the point system, what will you do then? Ask for another CIR bill??
You don't have to tell what "my" case is. I live my case...
Well said buddy , some people have condescending attitude towards rest of the people. The applications which are pending for past 5 or 6 years will be just thrown in the trash and asked to goto a new point system which will not be available until 2 more years and how the heck one is supposed to get h1 extension.
Hope your labor gets cleared soon and will be able to file 140 and 485 before this mess gets anywhere ...

they were not formed at the last moment in most cases
what makes you think people participate in those? from personal experience
in the MN chapter, it's hard to even get replies to e mails, forget meetings etc. of late though i'm glad to say the MN chapter has really beugun to pick up again.
ask the tri state guys how much effort they put locally- meetings- fliers- phone calls, all by a handful of volunteers. so all this is good in theory and yes it takes time. but the apathy (even hostility) that was encountered was frightening. ask chanduv23 someday what the tri state guys went through...
Yes, it was a major let down. We were hated, cursed, some members lost morale - but everyone who worked hard - did work very hard. We kept changing strategies based on situations trying to see if people will come - we did every little bit we could.
I am still trying to revive the chapter - some new members are active like laborchic and dressking and offcourse our Tri State volunteer team has always be trustworthy.
Once again - I know a lot of people do have genuine reasons and you must communicate.

Still puzzled and wondering why they would ask about PD.
Is this something we have to fill out on the AOS application?
I know it is not always the labor filing date, it can be the I-140 filing date if someone didn't require labor cert.
But, do we fill this date out on 485 app and is it entered into their system?

Thanks for actively participating and helping us in this effort. I'm sure we'll make this meet a success with our combined team effort.
More volunteers are welcome to join us in helping the meeting preparations. We also greatly appreciate any other help you can provide.
Members who have signed up for the meet re-confirm (basically RSVP), if you haven't already done so (after cagedcactus requested it). It will help CC in arranging snacks and tea . You can PM him or post here.
Need transportation from Lansing to Troy? Send PM (private message) to Bestin, by clicking on his id (on the messages posted by him) in this thread/forum. He has volunteered to accomodate 4 participants on first-come-first-serve basis. If you aren't based in Lansing, but still located somewhere on the way ( b/n Lansing to Troy), he can pick you up and drop you off ( if the detour is reasonable like a few miles). Don't let the lethargy to driving long distance dampen your enthusiam to particpate in an event that will affect your future.
Guys who cannot participate on 10/20 due to any reasons, but interested in future activities - PM or E-mail me. I will add you to the list of invitees for the future activities.
Thanks

i would not recommend either murthy or R khanna i had a lousy exp with R Khanna and a friend of mine with murthy. I love Fragomen (my Co uses them) my last company i used Thomas Fan (based in MD) I like them both.
Fragomen is a huge firm - your experience will depend on the attorney/group dealing with your case (or company cases).
I am working in US from 99 - in three companies; and went thru partial GC process three times (once layedoff after the approval of labor; second left the company when they didnt agree to do PERM after labor is sent to PBEC; and third the current one - finally able to send 485 in July). Extended/Transferred H1b a few times. In all these cases the firm is same - Fragomen - but with different attorney's/groups. My experiences range from utter disappointment (a completely incompetent lawyer messing up relatively straight forward case and dont even correspond to explain anything) to much better (an attorney who does not mind to take calls and explain my concerns and actually sympathizes with my case and even remembers particulars). So it depends on the attorney you get.
If you are going with a lawyer on your own - you might be better off going with smaller firms. If your company has already gone with one of big law firms like Fragomen - you may not have much choice there - just deal diplomatically with the lawyer.

Hi folks,
My labor and 140 got approved and PD is march 05.
After the good news, I can apply for 485, But I have
a question. My wife she came on H4 here and then converted
to H1B and get stamped also. Is it going to be a problem if I apply 485 for
her ( because of H1B) and if its not a problem guide me what are the necessary documents
for her.
Thanks in advance
Sai

Gurus,
I would like to discuss about changing from EB3 India category to EB2 India category. Currently the PD for EB3 India is somewhere in October 2001. We know people with PD November 2001 to current waiting for GC to get approved. Now the questions I have and topic I would like to discuss are,
1. Do you guys think that people with PD November 2001 to November 2002 should change the category from EB3 to EB2? (If they are eligible and if they want)
If you have any reason that these people should stay where they are and wait, please share your opinion.
2. Do you think that that people with PD November 2002 to November 2003 should change the category from EB3 to EB2?
3. What about people with PD after January 2004?
4. Where do we draw the line? We need to help our community to make the best decision on whether to move it EB2 category or stay where they are.
Thanks.
G.

Not to take away from the spirit of your posting, but just to set the record straight - it was Immigrants Support Network.

People feel as if they have achieved something big after getting an EAD. EAD is not a visa and EAD status is not a valid status. You in fact lose your h1b valid status once you invoke AC21.
I have personally seen people change their attitudes as if they have achieved a gold medal in Olympics and talk big about "'Fingerp[rinting", about AC21, as if they have written the AC21 law. Does anyone know how AC21 came into picture on the first hand? There was an advocacy group called "Immigrant Social Network" that was behind the AC21. Prior to that, EB rules were extremely stringent with no portability.
Everyone browses this website, gains knowledge and behaves as if he/she is an immigration expert and has achieved something big.
We have been cajoling people. To what extent?
Words cannot describe the amount of effort "needhelp" has been putting in. She still continues to be the same and claims that her morale will never go down and her commitment levels have increased. All the cowards, and so called smart asses - try to learn some good lessons from people like her.
Life is not all about shopping at Macys, talking about fingerprinting, and watching TV, and spending hours on phones talking about how dealstobuy is different from buy.com or not about how CVS pharma sells the same item for less rate than rite aid. Life is not all about "sitting here doing nothing and talking about how different countries are rising and why one MUST not care for his own good"
IV is a volunteer organization and every member is equally responsible member. If you try to elude, and act smart - it only reflects your dirty character.
If you are here, do something. Yes, atleast something that you feel you can do. Please do not cheat those who are working extremely hard for your cause.
cheers!

How about fasting for a day or two during the holiday season around xmas?-maybe a relay fast running for a month or two with employees from big name firms taking the lead like microsoft fob's skipping meals on mondays to be followed by Deloitte fob's on a tuesday and so on? skipping meals to donate that money to starving people is a fairly common tactic used to raise money for worthy causes and one that would resonate with the average american easily. I can try to persuade a dozen of my coworkers to skip a lunch - ofc ourse this would work only if we get media coverage -the upside is the cnn/foxnews xenophobic anchors would find it hard to spin this one against us! Also, we should relentlessly stay on an agreed message which could even be just stating the obvious - like we have gone thru a process where employers have actually advertised and found no one suitable for the job etc..

Are you high from last night. That's exactly what I said - donate and be united. I don't have time to argue - I'm outta here.
