now atleast we are used to calling lawmakers. Why don't you meet the lawmakers, contact DOL etc.. make sure you have another job in hand and you can do the transfer paper work. As far as my knoweledge one can have 2 H1B at a time but can only work for one.
Call the lawmaker and ask him you have a question and is it a law of this land. Ask as a doubt not a complain

When I applied last year I got it for 9 months and for 1 yr when I applied in 2009, eventhough my priority date is not current. I called them on 90th day after my application was filed and that has triggered something and I got my EAD in a week. I assume they have plenty of work load and in order to clear EAD applications they are just approving with out any emphasis on priority dates and with whatever duration they like.
This erratic EAD approval process causes financial loss to all EAD applicants effected.

I have sold a house in US while being physically in India. All you need to do is give a notarized affidavit to your Realtor and you don't need to be on the closing table. There is always a solution to worst case scenarios. Dude do some googling and you'll know what I am talking about.
You need to live in that house for at least 5 years to recoupe the commision/closing cost. Will you pay the loss if someone needs to sell the house suddenly due to immigration.

Got the approval notice today :) "Welcome to the United States of America" - ironically i have been in this country for a decade now! finally the "welcome" :)
It has been a very long journey!!! and a very frustrating one for the last few years... but the feeling that I now get is really liberating... first thing I did was thanked God for ending the seemingly endless wait that me and my wife (she didn't care as much) were in.
I'm already thinking of the things I want to do after this new found liberation... it includes showing the middle finger to those who have taken undue advantage of my status :cool: :D and i'm not taking it anymore... I'll be a new person starting Monday!
Just so there is no confusion... my PD was Feb 2003 EB3 but my wife's PD was EB2 April 2004... we got our freedom through her application. If anyone needs more info on how/what/when - i can share that (it had its up's and downs - mainly downs, but all's well that ends well)!
Lastly as a token of my real support to the cause of IV I will be donating a small amount. I have donated in the past... I have participated in conversations in the past... I was not so active on other fronts but I truly believe in this organizations effort to help the community. And God willing each one of you will get this freedom soon! God Bless!

Hello Ms. Miriam:
As a long time subscriber to the WSJ and one of the victims of the "bait and switch" by the USCIS and Department of State, I would like to thank you for covering the article in the WSJ. I would like to kindly direct your attention to the stand taken by AILA (American Immigration Lawyers Assoc.) and Immigration Voice (a non profit organization representing skilled immigrants). I feel it is necessary that the impact and the behind the scenes maneuvering at DOS be covered by a respectable publication such as the WSJ. May I point you to some of the links on the internet. Some are yet-unverified rumors. I hope that you will use your journalistic discretion and power to bring more light to this issue

Update:
I got the results back from the civil surgeon.
He basically attached the original i693 form, updated the TB section which he had forgotten earlier. He also had taken an xray, so attached an xray report. Both of these, he sealed them in an envelope and I shipped that to USCIS with a covering letter and original RFE letter.
USCIS accepted it the next day and since that day I am seeing a lot of LUDs for my wife's case. I am sure that this is normal. I will just have to wait until they find something new! For now I think everything looks good.

Really... Selling a house takes longer and in some places its six month - a year. When you are detained at the airport, you can not list your house and sit in the airport for a year. Think before what you post.
I have sold a house in US while being physically in India. All you need to do is give a notarized affidavit to your Realtor and you don't need to be on the closing table. There is always a solution to worst case scenarios. Dude do some googling and you'll know what I am talking about.

Raju, true indeed.....
I have noticed for several cases in here, where all the 3 applications are sent to the california service center....and CSC processes the EAD and AP and forwards the 485 app. back to NSC / TSC for further processing. The positive thing is that CSC is quick in processing AP/EAD....thus in a way this situation can prove to be lucky for all those whose applications are forwarded from NSC to CSC.
I believe USCIS is trying to comlete the receipting job from all the Service centres.
so you wont be sruprised if folks started reporting their receipt numbers start with EAC (for Vermont).
Let USCIS do their job of receipting everyone who filed in July-Aug 2007.
Ultimately processing will be done at USCIS NSC and TSC for I-140 and I-485 due to their bi-specialization program.
So no worry be happy...Support IV

SO if USCIS wants to make a new rule of filing I485 for the one whose I 140 is cleared and priority date is not current, It CAN DO That RULE Right?
We do not need any Congress approval for that Right?
If so can we explore this option??
Yes, I was wondering the same thing.
The only plausible explanation for requiring congress' approval, that I am able to come up with, is that we bundled many requests along with the request for concurrent processing of 140/485, like additional visa numbers etc., which I think are not in the hands of USCIS.
We would need congress approval to increase visa numbers, etc. But for changing the rule to allow concurrent 140/485 processing is probably within the jurisdiction of the USCIS.

I thought that I will share my recent experience.
I arrived in USA in 2003 on a L1 visa.
It was expiring soon, but instead of renewing, because of fear of denial, my company converted me to H1 using premium processing.
Department of state was going to close the VISA revalidation process, so in 2004 I sent my passport to them and got a h1 Stamp (within the USA).
I changed my employer later using H1 transfer and they kept renewing my H1 petition.
My new employer also started my GC processing and in Jul 2007 I applied for my 485 along with wife's.
Since then I have been working with the same employer on EAD.
After a long time I wanted to visit India, so applied and got my AP.
Although I had my AP, I wanted to visit India, get an h1 stamp and reenter on H1.
This is because EAD is taking too long for renewal.
I went to India, visited Mumbai Consulate, they did not ask me a single document.
They understood that I was asking for a stamp after 7 years, so they asked me "so your GC process is ON huh?". I said, "Yup".
No other questions asked.
I got my h1 stamp in 2-3 days.
Planning to reenter USA on that stamp.
Once I return my company will switch me from EAD to H1.
Hopefully EAD will arrive after that.
I will just keep that handy.
If I move to another employer, I will have a choice, use H1 or EAD.
I am keeping my H1 for the only reason, that if 485 gets rejected for any stupid reasons, I will have a way to fall back on something.
I have a house and a small kid born in the USA, don't want to have ANY illegal status, even for a day.
Wife will continue to work on EAD.
H1 is valid for 3 years, so I can travel to and fro USA to other countries with much more ease than the AP.
Plus I don't have to pay the crazy AP fees each time.
Please do comment if you find this information useful or any issues in my plans stated above.
I will update this post when I arrive back in USA.

Subject: 13 years to get a green card through legal route!
Message:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I will need in total 13 years to get a green card, even though I am employed in high skill job!
I applied for green card in July 2006 under employment based category 2 (EB2-India), which is only for the people employed in a high skill job. There are more than 25,000 people waiting in this category and the annual quota is only 3,000. At this rate, I may get visa after 10 years or 13 years in total!
Furthermore, I am restricted by law to work in the same or similar job category till I get green card. So on one hand the category wants bright people but on the other hand it stops that bright person from advancing in the career for not 1 or 2 years but 13 years!
How human is it to make a person and his family who has been in this country for last 10 years, paid taxes on time, has no criminal record, and employed in a very high skill job wait 13 years to get a green card so that can start a normal life?
Thank you for reading.
Best Regards.
Notes:
Mr. Charles Oppenheim of the Department of State Visa Office stated on June 10, 2009 that there are 25,000 EB2 India cases that are pre-adjudicated but are waiting for a visa number.

It doesn't matter where we come from. The system unfair to everyone, and even more unfair to some.
It's not so important how much you contribute or how many posts you write in the forum.
It is more important that you spread the word and make people understand the problem.
It was very encouraging to see all at the rally and that people actually took time to read our signs and then agreed with us. Having US citizens join the rally is awesome! True American spirit!
I hope to see more people at the next rally. I can recommend it.

I heard that NSC is 45 days compliant in processing EAD. Is this true? I think it is not. Knowing NSC, it could take approximately 90 days +/- 30 days.
