It is known that many employers and their attorneys do not provide their employees with the 485 receipt number. To avoid unnecessary trauma and strain on the employer-employee relationship, we should request USCIS to send a copy to the applicant whether 485 was filed with or without G28.

Well said !
We all know this EB3-EB2 game is total non-sense and unjust.
So many extra-ordinary people who could/should have been in EB2 are in EB3 simply because : corporate lawyer filed in wrong category, they did not want to work for a desi employer who would file in EB2 in exchange for a lot of things, they did not want to buy an approved labor and create fake experience certs/affidavits, or for various other family/job realated reasons which have nothing to do with his/her education/skills/experience.
At the same time, a lot of street smart people got their EB2 labor/I140 approved while they worked at gas stations.
In my opinion all IT professionals, MBA's, Lawyers, Doctors and all other BE/Btech/ME/MTech engg. should be in SAME category (EB2 or EB3). The only people who should be in a preferred category are the scientists who are actually working as research scientists for a govt or non-profit organization (not just anyone who bought a PhD from Dhanabad University for Rs 15000).
If there must be EB2 vs. EB3 then it should be based on a well-defined, measurable and well followed criteria, for example a aptitude/IQ test, interview/GD, there are many other ways to cover all types of talents.

Is it possible to file I-485 without I-693(Medical) ?
The reason I ask is that I cannot get a doctor's appointment in July. For some reason, if we are able to file in July, can I submit the 485 first and submit teh I-693 later.
Please advise
As per the bulletin I read, USCIS has indicated they will reject the application without I-693 period. Hence search across whole of US; if need be. Remember another thing, the appointment with Dr. is always two times; first time they take your blood (for AIDS test); then they will call second time after the blood analysis is done; if everything is fine, they would sign the I-693 and put that in a sealed envolpe.

This is important information. Is it really true that a company laying off an H1 employee is under the obligation to buy all his household stuff, car, apartment lease etc.? If this is correct, we must share this information with others. In this economy lots of H1 guys are getting laid off. Many are selling their cars at distress values. They can benefit from this information.

Funds are really needed but another important thing is to leverage the momentum obtained due to CIR and more recently July Visa fiasco.
I think iV should aggressively focus on recapture of visas, 1 visa per family(Hillary Clinton already supports us on this and we can rope in Zoe loe****
who supported us now) and also removing country based limit.
Momentum is very important and now is the time to restart and I m sure funds ll flow. Removing country based quota is the easiest one to target first.
Cheers

Mani, the advise given to you is to be on the safe side. Do not risk your GC process for just a few weeks of inconvenience.
Anyone EB AOS applicant can look for a job/take job BEFORE 180 days however you run a risk of your I-140 being revoked by the previous employer and USCIS will automatically deny your petition. If you are sure that the current employer will not revoke the I-140 petition, then you can do it before 180 days.
However, make sure that you inform USCIS that you're invoking AC21 and changing employer. You need to do that AFTER 180 days.

American Dream suspended on the eve of American Independence
For aspiring immigrants ,4th of July is not just a holiday and fireworks but a promise of all good things that are American , which comes to those who follow the law , live by her rules and wait patiently for their turn to be called Americans.
Patience is not just a virtue but a way of life for thousands of Legal immigrants who have been living in the US for a number of years . Besides the everyday stress of Job,Mortgage,Health and education of their children they live with the added suspense of when their application for permanent residency ,commonly
referred as "Green card" will move ahead from its deep slumber.
To apply for a employment based "Green Card" , a employed worker's company needs to fulfill the
requirements of the DOS/USCIS and the date the application is received by the department is referred to as the "priority Date". A movement of a month keeps the hopes and spirits high of the applicants and their families and a couple of months is sheer joy. In 2004 there was a negative trend of retrogression of
the applications in queue and the dates moved back instead of moving front. It implied a waiting period of a couple of years at the minimum. So midway of the application process everything stalled, all eyes turned towards the senate and the house hoping they would mediate and provide respite to this broken situation. Nothing happened and so we waited for the much anticipated CIR as it was told to us that a comprehensive immigration reform will address the situation of the legal immigrants also besides its main agenda to solve the issue of illegal immigrants in this country.
The CIR died , then mid June the USCIS came up with a bulletin announcing that it will start accepting applications for adjustment of status for all employment based applicants and their dependents ..From then on it was a scramble to fulfill a long list of requirements to be able to apply on time. The first task was
for my husband to convince his HR to sponsor the process. Since they had already budgeted for the fiscal year and are on a spending freeze , it took a lot of convincing . The HR complied and gratefully we set out to get our Medical exams(at own cost of 150*2).Since we live in a small state with few doctors we
drove 2 hours to a neighboring state to get them on time. Being a mother of 3 small kids, I could not work on important paper works with them around. So after putting them to bed we spent the entire night pulling out the required documents from archives and placing them in order; numerous phone calls to parents
back in India to collect their date of birth, place of birth information and completed the questionnaire. Got passport pictures(60$) and mailed it all to our lawyers praying it will be one of the first to reach the department office on start of business on July 2nd..little did we suspect that this was nothing but adding insult to the injury plan by the honorable DOS.. They had already prepared a rude
shock when they released a bulletin update on July 2nd stating that they will not accept any applications as they had already allocated all the visas for the current fiscal year in a unprecedented action.
This has left thousand of families like us confused, saddened and in the middle of nowhere.
We are raising families here, our everyday life is no different from any other AMERICAN middle class family with same expectations and hopes, so its not easy to presume that we can pull out or get out of this situation and return to our home countries . We still have faith in the constitution and the spirit of this country and preserve faith that this wrongdoing will be reversed and we will get the opportunity to achieve what we have waited for years in a long queue, abiding by the law and fulfilling all requirements to the
tee..
On the eve of America�s independence let justice prevail and urge the congress and the STATE department to undo this monstrous decision of USCIS ..
God bless America.

My point was that it doesn't matter. It represents $1000/ per person, hardly enough to make a dent in poverty. We need sensible labor laws, a pro-business attitude, and that money will return to India.
Dude, I am sure a lot of that money in these accounts belongs to the same "Railbay Meeneester' you are talking about..

I have two passports one with H4 Visa stamped and another Surname changed. While entering US, I have used my name as in the Visa (new surname) in the I-94 card.
I have applied for H1B with new surname in this May and change of Status with that I-94.
During H1 processing, I have travelled out of US and while entering back I have used old surname( as sometime back DMV ppl told that the name on I-94 should match with H4 Visa)
Now I got H1 approval and COS approval with my middle name taken as first name and new surname.
1) First thing is, the I-94 on COS approval and I-94, currently present in my Passport does not match.
2) First name and middle name are interchanged in the passport and H1 approval.
Is this going to create any problem while applying SSN? What are the possible consequences..
Also, any similar scenarios, plz respond..
oh boy this really tikkles my funny bone,

I think you want to prevent all kinds of immigration, and my suspicion is that you are not an immigrant at all.
Keep out.

Are you now on the 'undocumented immigration' thing ? Undocumented is someone who had documents, but lost them. Called them using the correct designation; illegal aliens.

People do not buy house to sell it. They buy it so that they can live for a long time. And when you do not know how long you are going to stay in this country(because of immigration issues) then why would they buy. There is something called closing cost, who will pay them if you have to sell?

I applied for my H1B 9th year extension using I-140 substitution in 10th March 2008. My 8th year H1B was expired on 14th April 2008. Currently my 9th year H1B extension was is in pending status. Unfortunately my I-140 was denied on 18th April 2008 due to 4 years Bachelors degree.
I used PERM EB2 labor substitution (May 2006 PD) and filed I-140 in July 2007 and denied (NSC) directly with out RFE. This is due to 4 years bachelor's degree and I have 10+2+3(Diploma) +3 (engineering-AMIE). I already applied my 485, EAD and AP. I got AP and EAD, but didn�t use it.
Now how can I get my 9th year extension?
Can I appeal for I-140 and get 9th year H1B extension?
Could you please give me your valuable suggestions on this?
Thanks,
Naga
yes, you cna appeal the decision and get another years extension. Better file another LC in PERM asap for next years extension in case the appeal also is denied

As far as contacting AILA goes, could we have someone from core who knows them come forward and help us voice our concerns if we're able to gather some support for this?
This can turn into an ugly backlog pretty soon if nothing gets done about it. I read last month that they had 146k pending I-140 cases.
My point is not TSC or NSC - my point is we all sufferers should now unite and create pressure. I cant do alone , you cant do alone.
How do you want to contact AILA - why they should suddenly listen to a bunch of 10 stray immigrants like you , me ??
One thing i dont follow in your post how EB3 becoming U affect Processing times of I-140 ? I-140 doesn't depend on "Country of Origin" or "Retrogression".
Let me know !

I had an LUD on Nov 30th (Date when they received response to RFE) saying case processing has resumed. I also have another LUD on Dec 2nd. But the status still says case processing resumed. Does anyone know why there are 2 LUD's even though the case status is the same. Does it mean anything?

On July 24, 2008, we received your response to our request for evidence. We will notify you by mail when we make a decision or if we need something from you. If you move while this case is pending, call customer service. You should expect to receive a written decision or written update within 60 days of the date we received your response unless fingerprint processing or an interview are standard parts of case processing and have not yet been completed, in which case you can use our processing dates to estimate when this case will be done. This case is at our TEXAS SERVICE CENTER location. Follow the link below to check processing dates. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register.
This is not similar to the Op's case. Your case was transferred to the texas processing center because that center processes all cases from the north east or the eastern state, the op's case was transferred to a local uscis office,
