I filed for my wife's EAD in the late May (e-file TSC).
Receipt date is May 29th.
Soft LUD on June 6th
FP done on June 21st
no updates, no changes after...
no updates, no soft LUDs on the case yet. It's been 74 days
My wife called USCIS last week. The customer rep was nice to talk but he gave no additional information than the online status update. He said you can call after 75 days and open a service request. So we plan to call tomorrow.
i'mpuzzled what's going on with the case...
has anyone in the similar situation opened a SR or taken infopass appointment? I'm thinking to take infopass but i guess it needs 90 days to be completed before that.. please share your experiences..

An idea:
Is it possible to recite the oath of citizenship in front of the senate en-masse? And maybe get some reporters to report the event..
Another, letter campaign, in which people will sign on the oath and snail mail to WH and also local senators
These might bring attention to us.. but feel free to knock it down (or ignore) if sounds absurd

Hi Admins,
Is there any way for members to broadcast personal messages to all online members?
If that is possible, I would like your comments on whether it is a good idea to request online members on a regular basis to join the Add ONE member campaign via broadcast messages.
Also, I was wondering if the IV newsletter has been emailed out to the members. I have not received it (checked and made sure that the email I gave out is correct). I ask this because, one of the moderators has assured me that the 'Add ONE member' campaign would be highlighted in the newsletter. Has this happened?
Please let us know.
Thank you.

Just checked again and the last 2 approvals are
PD 3-15-05 RD 6-12-07
PD 10-21-04 RD 6-29-07
So they are past the June 8th date, looks like they are still processing pre PERM applications though.
PS pappu, I updated what I know exactly (PD RD of I 485), my lawyer has the rest.
I have received approval on April 04 and today I have received GCs for all my family but not for one of my daughters. I checked USCIS and I just realized her application is still pending. She just turned 14 on March and she only did FP 2. Do you think she has to do again FP or they just left her behind......

If EB3 ROW becomes current, do you need to have an approved I-140 to file for I-485 or Can you fill I-140/I-485 concurrently?
you can file is concurrently.

Hi Everyone,
My labor was approved under EB2 in Sept 06 under perm. Filing date was May 06. However my employer just told me that the letter has come from DOL to run the advt for the old labor that was filed under Eb2 category in Feb 05. I save a year plus on the old labor. Can I use that labor and if not what happens to that labor?
Thanks and regards

Did you sent this letter to DOL? Some of us have been sending a template letter to DOL with the same concerns http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=19432 so far a replied letter from them has been received but no action further on. I am planning to push a letter out to more DOL personnel (Inspector General -Gordon S. Heddell- and Mr. James Aaron, of the Employment and Training Administration)

If we have a large number of people from the Southeast region, may be we can demonstrate in the front of the Atlanta PERM office. I think this may be crucial especially during this election time.

There is new data available regarding the PERM LC data, like how many PERM has been approved so far, I have tried to copy and and paste, but could not make it work. To sum it up, it is very bad for indian born applicants, while China Mainland is not too bad, since they have far few people in line comaring to Indians.
I can find the link for you guys. It is seems with any policies changes, it will be decades for Indian priority date to be surrent.
If you can please post the link..it will be great!!!!!
and also explain why do you feel it bad for India..

GC is moving target, looks like some drunkard wakes up one fine morning and randomly moves the priority date value/importance. I know those in such situation may be relatively less in number but I know many who are and repurcussions for this look horrible for people who have not made past this luck test. I was one of the unlucky ones :(. good luck to guys who have moved forward hope you still help rest of us still stuck.
I don't think it's an end of fight for IV or for that matter for us. Ability to file for I485 is just like getting out from one queue and standing in another big one. Once the folks who are stuck in backlog gets their labor will be in front of this big line as you know the priority date counts. Only advantage for the people filing 485 is an EAD, which I know is a big one. With thousands of people filing I485 in July, I believe EAD itself is going to be retrogressed.
So, we should continue to fight for increasing the Visa number and removing the country quota or similar provisions. Now, we might need to re-state our goals as asking to remove retrogression cannot be the one. I know IV core might be thinking in the same line but currently just busy collecting their 485 documents ;) . So hold tight and we should see some plan once this excitement dies down.
FYI, i'm one of those who will be filing 485 in July but really apprehensive about getting EAD in next few months.
So, lets get united and re-organize our priorities and fight for the same cause.

A lot of Desi Consulting Companies do these kinds of things. They can cook up any resume and any requirement.
Real PHD guys who worked their asses off day and night in trying to publish some worth while papers are not getting consideration for EB1 and these DCC guys with a bachelors in any discipline and 5-7yrs experience can become Multi-national executives and fall under EB1.
Nothing helps us legally working people with US Masters Degrees who have been living as law abiding citizens for years.
One of my friends who did Bachelors with me in India came to US on h1B and actually bought his EB2 Labor back in 2005 through a DCC and now has a GC. He never even told me that he did that. He told me recently after he got his GC.
I agree that is really a b*** . We pay taxes, contribute to the economy/society etc and we don't preference wheras any manager living outside can get GC in 6 months is very dissapointing. I don't blame the ppl who got through DCC like this but the law itself should be fixed.

I just got my wife's medical done ...from the same place where I got mine.
There is not need of the xray. If you have proof of vaccination good else they will take some of your blood and do your immunization test and return the SEALED envelope after 3 days. cost $190
For TB test some times you might need to do the X-ray after the skin test if the result is 5mm or higher. These kind of tests are not suggested for pregnant women and the doctor will keep a note.

Eb1 doesnot care about Eb2 & Eb3.
Eb2 doesnot care about Eb1 & Eb3.
Eb3 doesnot care about Eb1 & Eb2.
Embarrassingly this is the truth!!!
Correction ..
EB1 do not care about anyone
EB2 and EB3 care about what is happening because i have seen EB2 guys on this forum talk about the EB3 backlog and on the flip side there are EB3 guys who are working with IV on whatever garden path they are being led on.
My effort is to make IV core aware of the fact that maximum EB3 guys do not believe in IV direction. Now that is an eye opener and if IV really believes that they they are a representative of all EB they must face the fact that they do not have support of maximum of EB3 folks
Now if IV comes up with some genuine action items which will relieve the pressure on EB3 then they will see that EB3 folks will start believing in this whole lobbying and advocacy effort.
For example this 55k bill could include terms for EB3. Now no one from IV is talking about that and one enlightened eb2 volunteer says let the bill come through then we can include but if IV does not talk about it now how will any EB3 believe that IV would do in crunch time
The usual spiel of IV stating once EB2 becomes current EB3 will move will not hold water any longer because IV cannot promise that EB2 will come to a point where it has no more apps and spillover will go to EB3.
So that mean the whole IV approach is flawed

My PD, Sep 2005, is current as well and has been current since since last month but no magic emails yet. By the way, when I called the CIS today, the officer indicated that my finger print is cleared but name check is still pending. I thought they were the same? Does anyone know what the difference is between the two?

I went to my congresswomen's office on may 6th and provided details of my pending 485. Their office called me today that our cases were approved on May 5th and cards have been mailed!! They also told me to contact NSC to get tracking no. I called NSC and and got the USPS tracking no's. No change in status online at USCIS, no email or SMS from USCIS.

I guess DOS/DHS won't provide all documentation, just like recent firing of US attorney.
I wonder how much power these committees have. It is clear from her letter that DOS/DHS chose not to respond to her or send her any info and defy her request to continue accepting AOS applications until she had a chance to review the matter closely. Committee has the subpoena power to force the document release and hold hearing but if DOS/DHS ignore her letter again, I wonder what would she do.
I guess the deadline is tomorrow so we'll see how this unfolds.
