Having to wait 10 years for mere permanent resident status in a country in itself is ridiculous, compared to processing times in countries such as Canada, and Australia.
If anything, the period should be much shorter - about 3-5 years from entry as H1B (or any other work visa).
It's critical that the time start from date of entry with a work visa - not filing of labor certification/I-140/I-485. Many folks may have had to change jobs multiple times (for example, during and after the .COM bust) and the process would've restarted each time.

I have received messages from people who have been here around 10 years without a GC. I wonder how common this is. What do you think about proposing a "fast track" for people who have been here legally for more than a certain amount of time?

Macaca, if we till now we have only 110 members with a minimum of $20. How can we expect 100 members with $200. Do you think we have 100 x $200 in the team?. That is why we have a simple goal of $20 a month for 1000 people.

IV had brought in hundreds of T - shirts to hand out. We were giving them out to everyone with a request to contribute on the web site. When we were out,
one of our volunteers, Kaushal, I think (don't know iv handle), he took out his own IV tshirt and gave it away!!
Another thing, I want to thank all the volunteer(s) who were asked to stay back to take care of the origin point and couldn't march in the rally.

I am not a kid. I know these things. Read properly what he said.
"It is possible that the filings could be discontinued later in July"
I just wanted to share this information with you all guys. I am not gaining anything by putting this in this forum. If you feel like taking it, take it else ignore it. There is no harm in sharing.
Please don't put any sensational heading on your post if you don't know what you are saying.
This has been discussed a lot here and is nothing new. There is always a possibility that USCIS can issue a mid-month VB and discontinue taking 485. It has not happened before, but is certainly possible.
If you thought, the dates will be current from here on to perpetuity...I have no words for you..

stop this stupidity please
far as i know we did not write the letter.
all we did was send flowers to let people know we were screwed over.
if you don't even want to do that...
hey it's ok to roll over and play dead. but you can do that without bothering to come here, can't you?
iv has not raised any security related issues as a policy. we have not denigrated uscis for working efficiently either. all we asked was to honor the july bulletin.
so what stupidity should be stop dear kramer?

I guess, it is the 13th ....such an unlucky number.:eek:.Just kidding..When all of us are so anxious about this..I can't even begin to imagine what our EB-3 friends are going through. Especially to whose who have been waiting for almost a decade (or more) and still stuck..
I guess, we should take all this news with a pinch of salt..
Cheers
It looks like November 2005, Jan 2006 and Feb 2006 priority dates are somehow lumped together. Of course mine is December and far be it from being even considered :)
gbof and anilkumar... I think this is the hardest wait for us. I hope the two of you and all others get approved soon enough.

Look my friend, there is no logic like RD vs PD. If there were I would have had my green card before most here even filed their 485s. My 485 is pending for over 4 yrs now.
I have had people with PDs after me, RDs after me, all sorts approved and I am waiting.
This is a game of luck and chance.
The USCIS process is chaotic and disorganised in the way they do things. If you are lucky you get your approval earlier, if you are not, your application languishes in some salt mine in Utah or wherever else NSC stores their pending applications.

Hi
I have a question regarding an appeal I did a year ago for a rejected LC.
I have an approved LC and I-140 on an entry level position (EB3) with my company. after I got a promotion to a senior position that requires a masters degree but with a smilar job description but more senior and supervisory responsabilities with the same company. after promotion, I filed for a new LC (EB2) but it got rejected because DOL thinks it is the same position as the already approved LC. my company and I wrote a letter as an appeal on Sep 2006 within 30 days from rejection of LC to BALCA explaining that new position requires a masters degree and it is a senior position with more supervisory duties. as of today, almost a year later, we haven't heard anything regarding DOL (BALCA) decision on my appeal. is anybody in the same situation?? what should I do next?? also I read somewhere that DOl might revoke the already approved LC EB3 after I filed a second LC for EB2 with the same employer. can DOL revoke the first LC EB3 after I have an approved I-140?? please help. Thanks

I know your pain, Iam in the same boat, submitted everything on 06/26, hopefully everything will be filed after july 4th.
I have submitted all the documents to my laywer on 6/25 itself (including medical) but they are just heavily back logged and won't be filing my case till Jul 10. I am just frustated now. I even offered to pay extra to speed it up but no use. I am only worried if dates retrogress half way through?
To my real question.. Can we just file on our own with out the lawyer? I would hate to loose this window just coz my laywer couldn't do it. Not sure how I would break that kinda news to my wife, "I know the dates were current for 10 days in July but our lawyer didn't have time so now you will have to stay at home for 1 more year".

Gonna be a long long long wait for people with PDs of 2007 (EB3) who got their labor certified after July.
Yep. It would be good for EB3/2 - India-PD 2007 filer considering canadian immigration simultaneously...ofcourse do not rush now for filing Canadian PR - As Canada generally gives you PR witin 2 years and by that time 2007 filers may not have passed FBI check for their 485 here..If the way things are going I see at least 5 years wait for 2007 (India)filers.

Myself and my spouse applied for EAD Renewal on 04/20/2010, sent to TSC by lawyer.
Got receipt by postal mail on 05/04/2010 and got email yesterday that oth EAD are approved.
Actually current EAD expires at end of July, but we did apply before as we were told so to avoid unexpected delays in approvals as lot of new things are happening in service centers.
Also this is related to Drivers License renewal and in some states many rules changed (eg VA MD,CA ). Many new security features are enclosed.
Previously , once we provide all documentation required immediately new DL with new expiration date is issued. Now a days , DL issue process has changed in many states. Finger prints are taken and DL with enhanced security features are being issued.
This whole process of issuing new DL is taking 2-4 weeks.
Would like to mention some things regarding application.
Our Attorney is very good one and has lot of patience. He will never take chance by sending partial paperwork or giving some information to saisfy us.
100 % professional.
Till now we applied for 3 EAD Renewals and couple of AP renewals
He always asks us to send documents as specified below to avoide any possible queries etc.
1. Copies of all EAD, Front and Back color copies.
2. Copies of EAD Mailer forms for which EAD are attached.
3. Copy of DL (Front, Back)
4. Copies of all H1B &H4
5. Copies of all Passports (32 pages - 1st page in color)
6. Copy of latest I94
7. 2 Recent PhotoGraphs
8. Check for $340.00 (Pay to oredr of Department Of Homeland Security).
Previously, as soon as checks are cashed there used to be Redceipt Numbers (Like SRC, LIN etc) on back. But not any more.
We need not worry whether receipt number is on back of encashed check or not.
Even though many of us are getting approvals in a month or so, please dont count on this. It will be safe and better for applicants to send renewal applications at least before 90 days. Probability is that we might lose a month or 2, but this is worth taking in to all things in to consideration.
Have A Good Weekend Guys!!

First of let me tell you life is not fair. All BEC people everyone in this forum empathizes with you esp me since my husband is also a victm, even if they say u should have filed in PERM. I know for a lot of folks this was not a choice for you to make sometimes it is the company, lawyer, ur job situation that is the determining factor. So, please hang in there and contribute without bad mouthing IV. Maybe some of you should become a part of the core and fight for ur rights. The reason I say life is not fair bc people like my husband and I we are not in IT or work for IT consulting companies yet this whole backlog is created bc of that particular industry and abuses to the H1B system and we still suffer. Also, what happens when u work for huge companies that usually don't hire h1b but once they made the step they don't want to loose you since you are an investment for them and hence the wait 5 years to file ur GC. Again life is not fair when the business needs you to move to a different position, or downsizes and you have to start from scratch all over again. Both my husband and I are here for 10 years and are on our 8th year of H1 and this is the first time for me to file 485 with 2006 PD and his labor still has to be filed yet again in Perm. My point life is not fair but you cannot blame others. Very few people are lucky and get GC in a year or year half. If you look most people had some struggle some worse than others. Just be grateful that someone is ready to atleast listen to you and help you fight this long battle.

This won't fly because the simplistic model for immigration bills is -
D(hispanic) + D(labor) + D(neutral) + R(business) + R(nativist) + R(neutral) < Enough votes to pass Congress
