Thanks for your feedback. But processing a '05 labor cert before a '03 labor cert is injustice at the most ugliest form. No where, I mean no where in the world are people going to accept someone who came later in the queue to be allowed to have service before people who have been waiting for years together in the queue. Why would anyone do that and how is that justified? It is a mental worry and stress for the affected folks right now because we are still waiting with uncertainty. Why should we? Why????
So whatever happens in the future isn't the concern. There are no guarantees offered as you know with these processes. If it happens it happens and we will take it at that time.
The point is to bring to the attention of the proper authorities this injustice in the system and to make sure that we are guaranteed some form of relief/concessions. As you know the filing fees are going to increase and again there are no other guarantees.
Hello risker,
As I said your claim is a valid one. Having said that filing a lawsuit against the agency and getting a suitable verdict is very difficult.
Its seems you are new to this area (lawsuits) and I would recommend you to do some research on how many immigration complaints that were filed during the past 10yrs ended with the plaintiff winning.
Lawsuits in the US is all about money. Its not like getting an attorney and filing a complaint and then hope to win. This is why people always like to go for settlements since lawsuits can be thrown away even before a trial during summary judgement. Do you know what is the average fees for an attorney ?
And do you know how many attorneys you might need to make a strong case ? Do you have any idea of what kind of Judge might preside over your complaint ? Do you know what is discovery ? Do you know the onus is on you to show that USCIS has broken the law ? Its not enough to tell the court the USCIS has made a serious mistake. The court will not listen to that argument. You will have to proove to the court what is the law that the USCIS broke.
I am only telling this from experience as I know this game inside out.
Anyways I wish you all the best, who knows you might just win.

Most countries do not have 9,800 EB applicants every year - in fact, most countries use well under 1,000.
The total number of applicants from other countries can be derived from roughly estimating number if H1 holders, adjusting for Indians and Chinese, and then dividing by 2 (50% of H1Bs never end up getting a green card), and then multiplying by 2 to adjust for derivatives. The bottom line - there are visas available in EB2 ROW and EB1 categories (which are current, meaning, undersubscribed), that are getting redistributed to EB3 ROW. This is why EB3 in total is using more than its share of 140,000 EBs. In fact, I believe the dates will be moving pretty fast on EB3 ROW, it will probably get all current in a couple of years.
From the last report of FLC.
80,029 cases certified between Oct. 1, 2005, and Sep. 30, 2006.
55 % were issued for workers from just the five countries of India, China, South Korea, Philippines, and Mexico.

Now, the bad part ... the achilles heel of every high-skills amendment is the tethered H1B quota tricks. They are exempting everyone who has US masters or a non-US master in STEM from H1 quota, effectively making H1 quota = A LOT MORE.
The exact same radioactive provision for H1 quota is also in Lieberman-Hagel amendment 1242.
This will sink both of them unless either there is some inside deal going on that we dont know, or they strike out the H1 issue from this on the floor of the senate at the last minute and be content with H1 quota of 180,000.
I don't understand the risk you are mentioning. How unlimited H1B is going to cause problem in eliminating retrogression in EB catagories?

There are two ways to react once you are not getting any result .
1. Do not do anything and blame others . Proclaim your leadership inabilities and hope a new avatar will come to save you . ( May be Lord Vishnu can take his final incarnation and save us , let us chant and pray :-)
2. Do something like say contribute and spread the message .
One will care about IV only if there are valid business reasons for doing so . Lots of my colleagues does not care about IV because they do not care about retrogression , reasons are ,
A)They may buy pre approved labor and get away with it .
B)Their spouse also work ( on h1b in IT or on h4 in sabji mandi ). Their spouse is a home maker and do not intend to work.
C)They are simply saving money to go back to india and does not want a GC.
Now even if you are impacted by retrogression still you may dream that in the dream land of USA one fine day congress will wipe out your worries . That indeed may party happen but still the legislature may pass something which can screw up the situation more , like say enforcing hard cap on the per country quota .
So it may make sense to help IV and not leave everything on luck or congress .
But above all rationale there is the warm fuzzy desi feeling of getting things free when people of IV are slogging , so no wonder people do not help IV , desi mentality rules :-)

Prince_Charming -
My case was similar as yours. USCIS just sent a Denial on my 485 without sending a NOID in May. If 180 days have been passed on your 140 approval, then you are safe. If your employer revoked your 140 within 180 days, then you have a problem. Normally desi employers revoke 140 because of Ability to Pay issue etc. especially when you move to a different company. Good thing is that you still have your H-1 to fall back on.
Anyways, My case was reopened within 2-3 weeks after we filed MTR and got a copy of the decision. Filed EAD and AP renewal this July.Got EAD and turns out they denied my AP based on the previous 485 denial in May and didnt even look that they have reopened my case in June. So fighting with USCIS Nebraska center on that right now ! Too infopass and the Immigration Officer is supposed get the information corrected on my file and get my file reopened for AP. Really dont think they look into their own notes or paper work even when issuing denials.
Feel free to PM me if you need more information.
Thanks,

I don't participate in the effort as much... then i don't have any right to bark at ones who are doing it for me...

If bill is passed Senate in 2007 it will pass current form for H1b. There is possiblity for failing of the bill is 75% now. Also even if Cantwell amendment is passed that will give relief only to high tech companies not for Hospitals or Health care. There is no other amendment other than Cantwell for H1b or GC relief in Senate
Only unknown is how House will handle. Now house is confident that Senate will not pass CIR(Infact house members think they can escape from this hot button issue)
But I am almost certain that Most persons who file I485 within next 6 months will get GC within 1 to 5 years whether CIR is passed or not.
right. i think it's within our reach to reduce that wait time from 1-5 years to 1-2 years at most.

A ton of EB3 cases with early priority dates came out of the BECs in 2006. Plus the end of labor substitution acted as a trigger for people to use these priority dates. I know my company systematically went through and substituted newer filers so they could get these older priority dates.
Also, although a lot of people are moving from EB3->EB2, USCIS needs to process the new I-140 and recapture the priority date for them to get an accurate picture of the EB3/EB2 queue. There is a largish I140 backlog today.

Nope. Need 60 votes to do anything in Senate and that is why even though the Dems have a so called majority then cant get anything done.
However, you need 60 votes to end a fillibuster. A fillibuster is the method used by senators to stall a bill. They will force debate to continue indefinitely. To overcome the forced debate, you need 60 votes (which is what the cloture motion is).
To pass the bill, only 51 votes are needed. If there is a tie (50-50 or 49-49 or any valid combination), the the Vice President casts his vote to break the tie (and we all know on which side the VP is on)

I think a change of leadership of IV is critical if we have to get anywhere. IV has not been able to achieve a single thing in all of its existence. Not a single thing, nada, zitto, zapata. Not disclosing the issues they are working on, not disclosing how the funds are distributed, not disclosing the lobbyist they are using. Who in the world calls that leadership!
That is the reason that no one wants to contribute. First get some results, show people results for what they have paid for. Then ask for more money. Most people I talk to are confident that IV will achieve nothing given their track record. I tried to convince a colleague to join IV. He bet with me that they will not be able to achieve even this filing I-485 issue. He bet that he will join and pay if they did.
I know IV works like dIVorced wIVes club and saying anything negative is taboo. Anyone saying anything negative is crushed with (p)curses. Only good mushy things are allowed here. So here it is: We will get our GCs by the end of the month. Hallelujah!
But I am writing this for the benefit of IV and please take this as constructively as you can. As a member, I have full right to suggest a change of leadership when I think it can help.

I have been thinking about whether to attend the rally or not from past few weeks. Attending the rally would require me to take a day off. Finally today without thinking twice I just went to my manager asked if I can take day off on 9/18 instead compensate the work in the following saturday. It was approved and I am attending the rally on 9/18!
I am feeling so good now.
Also, I live in DC area and can help if somebody needs to be picked from airport to the rally and drop them back if needed.
Hope to see thousands on 9/18th...
ALL THE BEST TO OUR CAUSE!
Regards.
Great job anucks. You will be proud be there & let your voice be heard!! And trust me, you will not regret it one bit!
See you in DC!!!
Go IV!!!

If I were you I would not go after chasing USCIS. But this is what I would do.Enjoy your GC and freedom
Congratulations and enjoy your green card! Don't worry about the priority dates not being current when yours was approved. My green card was approved in September 2007, sometime after the July fiasco wherein the PD for all categories became unavailable. Since my gc approval, I've been in and out of the US, and I hadn't had any single problem getting back in.

What are we supposed to do now?? we should make this an IV campaign issue. USCIS is not following the rules set by congress. AC-21 is the law and USCIS is not following the law and causing hassel to the legal immigrant community. The legal immigrant community should really do something about this.
