S for senate
HR for House Resolution
SA for Senate Amendment to a Senate bill
--- don't know Amendment for a HR
May be a dumb question.. how is HR.2 different from S.2? What is approved today is S.2. I thought HR is house of represenatives. But again SA is a senate amendment. So I am confused!

AFAIK they dont issue Interim EAD's any more.
I think this practise was stopped in 2007.
70 Days for me and waiting..........
60 days for me and waiting...
when did you submit expedite request?
I still have 55 or so days till my current EAD expires but I am very concerned now that I will have to stop working on Sep 30. My current employer is a large public school system and I do not think they will allow me to start working on august 25th without new EAD. I am going crazy here... already signed a new contract but dont know what to do...:eek::eek:

I had a somewhat similar epiphany little while ago and started a new thread... and got laughed at.... but the more you think about it the more this sequence of events comes across as a plausible and logical explanation of what may have happened.
It would be interesting to watch if and how the agencies respond to Congresswoman Lofgren's letter and if any new and more interesting details about this whole mess reveal themselves.
Where's an investigative reporter when you need one.... is Bob Woodward listening? :)
BTW, loved the Post's coverage - perhaps the best amongst all I've read so far.

So is it possible that the following was USCIS' plan all along in a bid to (1) force applicants to pay the higher fees and (2) reduce the number of applications they would receive. So let's try and see where USCIS or DOS acually broke the law. BTW, the following is pure speculation on my part.
1. DOS makes all categories current in the visa bulletin dated June 12.
2. This screws up USCIS's plans. So they have to force the DOS to issue a revision before July 1st.
3. USCIS frantically starts requesting visa numbers. Even for 485s with pending FBI checks.
4. Come July 2nd, USCIS still hasn't used up all the 60,000 or so numbers, but still informs DOS that all visa numbers have been exhausted.
5. DOS publishes a revised visa bulletin dated July 02 where everthing becomes unavailable.
6. USCIS acts on DOS revised visa bulletin and decides to reject all I-485s filed on July 02 and beyond.
7. July 05 onwards, USCIS starts returning the numbers to DOS. This could be for applications that have pending FBI checks.
8. DOS now decides to use some caution before issuing August bulletin. They will probably not make all categories current, but will probably shift them by a few months based on June bulletin.
9. USCIS now gets all new applications with higher fees and a reduced number of applications.
Please add to this sequence of events if you think I missed anything.
IMHO, USCIS broke the law in #4. And DOS broke the law in #5 if it was aware that visa numbers were still being issued as of July 02.
Thanks,
Jayant

isn't the effect of reservation the same as the effect of affirmative action?
If your kid gets high scores in SAT but does not get into an ivy league college because your ethnicity is over-represented - but some other kid with much lower scores gets in (and its not a hypothetical scenario - happens every admission season and i sincerely hope does not happen to your loved ones).....where does that leave your logic??
i see your point that people do have their own reasons for desiring US citizenships - but sometimes its also important to take a step back and see what one is giving up!

flowers? i would suggest sending manure - send back some of the love (and let them grow their own flowers)
(send flowers and they will be happy for a day.. let them grow flowers and they will be happy forever) ;)
Now that is hilarious!!!!:p

I am thinking we need to wait a long time for the 485 to get approved, mainly due to the volume of the applications due to this huge movement in the PDs.

Possibly not. But it has to reach USCIS and I was thinking of getting through the liason process of the senators / congressmen.
If IV can take up this effort, then there is a channel that we can get through. But I dont think it is going to happen, because of the infights. Even if USCIS does'nt react, we can use this process to challenge the intrepretation and show them the mess that they have created. May be that will help
Sorry, i'm just trying to understand the situation here, please no flames.
If this is an admin area fix and USCIS is the main one whom we may need to convince, do we still need to contact/involve politicians in this.
Coming elections, and two different parties, this may give a different color to the whole problem, than solving the problem.

A fund raising party sounds like fun! Coffee Hour too..
I have already got my Aunt and two of my friends to sign up for Team IV so far. We are going to train together atleast once a week and we will organize a fund raising party and contribute all the proceeds to IV.
I am sure you will have lot of fun with this.

As of now the total number of members in IV are 13,959. I think we can get it to 14,000 by the end of the day.. we just need 41 members.

Randy,
I think you are wrong. you might read his forum but I think you missed this. he did report that Oppenheim offered insight to him and other immigration lawyers about the April VB before it was published. see this message dated 02/14/08 directly from his forum:
Link is here: http://immigration-information.com/forums/showthread.php?t=4285
"Last night, at a meeting of the American Immigration Lawyer's Assocation Southern California chapter, Charles Oppenheim spoke. Mr. Oppenheim is the officer within the Visa Office tasked with calculating visa bulletin cutoff dates each month. He offered the following thoughts as to cutoff date movement in the upcoming months:
In April, India and China EB2 will be set at 12/01/2003
EB3 for India and China will slow down for the rest of the fiscal year"
Last month Ron G predicted the April visa bulletin and he did have a very good logical reason for it, he did go into details about it on his forum. He was NOT told by Oppenheimer what the bulletin was going to look like.
Ron only wrote to Oppenheimer to clarify the April Bulletin�s wording after it came out about visa number flow from EB1 to EB2 Retrogressed countries.
I have to say Ron is pretty impressive, I learned a ton by visiting his forum, he knows a lot about the inner workings of USCIS.
For example I was under the impression that USCIS followed strict procedures when it came to PDs and that processing dates schedules were correct all the time. Now I have a totally different opinion.

Day one to day last of the month
The PDs in the visa bulletin are valid until the next visa bulletin is released or until the end of that month?
I think they are valid from 1 day of a month to the last day of the month but I hear people say that they are valid only until the next month's bulletin is released.
Any inputs here?
Sorry for posting an unrelated question here, I am still figuring out how to create a new thread.

This whole process has never been fair and I don't think it ever will be (at least in near future). Just have to suck it up and move on !!! I have seen it long enough to say this.
