It is good to see the combined Immigration community efforts are bringing results. However, it appears that no attention is being paid to raise the issue of children ageing out because of visa retrogression and delay in labor clearance. The Child Status Protection Act(CSPA) passed in the year 2002 hardly provides any relief to I-140 based immigration petitions. While for I-130 (for US Citizens) applicants the date of child is frozen on the date of submission of I-130 form it-self, but for employment based immigrant applicants this Act provides a complicated way to calculate the child�s age and it just provides relief for any processing delays in 1-140 clearance only. It just ignores the fact that we have years of retrogression for employment-based category. At the time when this act was passed there was no retrogression in employment-based category and lawmakers perhaps never thought of hardship, which children and families may face because of the retrogression.
We need to raise our voice on this issue too. My son is going to miss out the chance of getting his green card just because his age works out as per formula given in CSPA Act to be 21 years and 12 days � because of 12 days my family may be penalized to be separated from our child whereas no one is going to consider 3 years delay in labor case in my case and then another 13 months we have to wait for filing 1485 after approval of I-140. Mine case was the most unfortunate in the sense that I got my I-140 approval in just 29 days whereas in all cases the normal time is 3-6 months. Had it taken 2 months, my son would have got the benefit under CSPA.
I hope some one from Immigration Voice leadership team will take a lead to highlight such issues also before the law makers.

Hello, Thanks for the help. Here is my list.
1. As CIS told Congress in a hearing last year, They indeed wasted visas due to administrative delays. Clearing such a backlog would make all EB current. - Best case scenario
2. Allowing people to file Adjustment of Status (AOS) after their immigration petition (I140) is approved but were unable due to their country cap. Relax/clarify the AC-21 rule for Same or Similar occupation. How much long wait is considered long enough to move-on? (in general terms) - Average Scenario
3. Let CIS publish the real backlog of the EB AOS applications (Backlog defined by common sense - should include all the EB AOS cases and not just what they think not backedup due to Visa availability) pending by country, and PD in 2-3 months. - Worst case Scenario. Atleast helps us plan our future by deciding to continue the wait or get back home.
4. Starting the Citizenship clock after I140 approved.
Thanks again for your help..

why would EB2 retrogress to before 2003? It was at 2003 for a long time (8 months?). The only people still with PD of EB2 2002 are the ones just getting out of BEC, there cant be too many of them...
Yes, I agree. For the same reason, there may not be much EB3 2001 and 2002 cases left. Hence Eb3 would move to 2003 soon.
BTW, my PD is not 2003 :-)

1. Eliminate EAD & AP, let I485 receipt notice be sufficient for travel and employment authorization.
2. Restart H1B visa renewal by mail. Let there be added scrutiny while the application is processed. It atleast wont let people out of country for unknown time.
Eliminate EAD & AP, let I485 receipt notice be sufficient for travel and employment authorization.
Great idea....all we need is a photo in the I-485 receipt and any employer can do a e-verify to check our status.

thanks andy. I am planning to use old PD , since I have a previously approved labour from EB3 ( i am trying for eb2 this time) do I need the original copy of the I-140 approval from my old employer? thanks.
This is taken from one of the Bulletins issued by the CIS.
Determining the priority date: Under INA � 203(f), immigrant visas are available in the order in which the underlying visa petition was filed. The �priority date� determines an alien�s �place in line.� For EB-1immigrants, the priority date is the date the employer files the Form I-140 with USCIS. For EB-2 and EB-3 immigrants, the priority date is the date the employer applies for the labor certification, if an individual labor certification is required. If an individual labor certification is not required, the priority date is the date the employer files the Form I-140 with USCIS. If the alien is the beneficiary of more than one Form I-140, the priority date for EACH Form I-140 is the priority date for the earliest Form I-140.
I think that all you need is a copy of the I-140 approval.

We are also part of this seemingly unending wait to file the I-485. We missed the July '07 window.
It is frustrating in many ways....
My husband cannot switch job, even though better opportunities come his way!
There are travel probs to India as these days there r all sorts of cases happenning when u go for 'stamping' in India.
Also, I am a qualified & experienced professional (worked in a respectable MNC in India)....but cannot work. I did MBA from a university in PA thinking that it will help me launch myself in the job market when the EAD/GC comes.........but the 485 dates never came out of the spiralling mess.
U might think that I can go the H1B way.......but that itself is going in a bigger mess & employers r not willing to do in any more
So, when I saw this "Advocacy Day".....I thought its the time to get up & do something for ourselves as there might not be a second chance!!

On my wife's labor certificate, it is said her position requires a minimum of master degree. But the alternate is bachelor degree plus 2 years' experience. The lawyer has filed I-140 under EB2.
We are worried that this position does not qualify EB2 because we read on the internet that EB2 requires master degree or bachelor plus at least 5 years' progressive experience. We called the lawyer and said we heard from a friend such a case had been denied. She was very busy and just said there was no problem to apply for Eb2, and if we doubt it, we can hire our friend as a lawyer. We are so pissed off.
Can someone help me clarify if this position is qualified for EB2? do we need to change it to Eb3?
Thanks.
It is Bachelor's (that too, 4 years, if I am not wrong) degree + 5 years post-baccalaureate experience
Not sure if you can change the already submitted I-140 to EB-3 or need to apply a new one. Experts, please help!

My advice to you is to beg, borrow, steal or kill but find a way to file for the I485. The benefits of filing for AOS - specially if you have a spouse who cannot work - far outweigh any short term struggle you may have to endure.
Dear friend akred,
One question for you my friend, ask your consience.
your advice to BEG, Borrow, STEAL or KILL, is this how we should conduct ourself in the society. Do you want such kind of society. Is it good to profess anger, decit and violence in society. (think what our kids will face when they grow up.) ?
As a devote Hindu, I live by Hindu way of life, and I Hope you do too, I PRAY to you, can you PLEASE implement this way of life in your normal daily life, you will see the difference yourself.
Not meaning to anger you, Sorry in advance if I have hurt you. I pray you will change.
OM !!!!;)
