i have been hearing that my case has been with an officer since last month (yes i said last month .. july).
I have no idea :
who these officers are,
why they are sitting on a case for weeks together without doing anything,
whether they have the copy of the latest bulletin,
whether they are still employed by NSC,
whether they are still alive.
noooo idea..... whatsoever.
my file has been with officer since aug 1...no news ..and now the #'s are all gone....

I am 19 yrs old and on H4 visa since Sept 2002. Will this act be of any help for students on H4 who will get be aging out shortly at 21 yrs.
Your valuable input will be of great help. Please share your views.
Or is the act only for students of Illegal parents.
Thanks
My son and you are in the same boat. He came here 9 years ago went to middle/high school here. Now, he is in college and will turn 21. He will not get his greencard because he is here on H4 legally.
Isn't that a shame?

Nikon will have to make some major adjustments in their operations to keep in the game. They seem to be much less agile than Canon. Nikon is somewhat less innovative, and my sense is the are mainly trading on reputation instead of innovation.
Nikon is more or less forced into being the way they are because they do not have the diversification into other product lines, as is the case with Canon.

Here is the easiest reading. It is from November 2005 bulletin. They specifically stated that the 7% limit was going to apply.
http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/b...letin_2712.html
D. EMPLOYMENT PREFERENCE VISA AVAILABILITY
The backlog reduction efforts of both Citizenship and Immigration Services and the Department of Labor continue to result in very heavy demand for Employment-based numbers. The amount of cases currently being processed is sufficient to use all available numbers in many categories. The level of demand in the Employment categories is expected to be far in excess of the annual limits, and once established, cut-off date movements are likely to be slow.
WHAT CAUSES THE ESTABLISHMENT OF CUT-OFF DATES?
The Visa Office subdivides the annual preference and foreign state limitations specified in the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) into twelve monthly allotments. The totals of documentarily qualified applicants that have been reported to VO are compared each month with the numbers available for the next regular allotment and numbers are allocated to reported applicants in order of their priority dates, the oldest dates first.
If there are sufficient numbers in a particular category to satisfy all reported documentarily qualified demand, the category is considered “Current.” For example, if the Employment Third preference monthly target is 5,000 and there are only 3,000 applicants, the category is considered “Current”.
Whenever the total of documentarily qualified applicants in a category exceeds the supply of numbers available for allotment for the particular month, the category is considered to be “oversubscribed” and a visa availability cut-off date is established. The cut-off date is the priority date of the first documentarily qualified applicant who could not be accommodated for a visa number. For example, if the Employment Third preference monthly target is 5,000 and there are 15,000 applicants, a cut-off date would be established so that only 5,000 numbers would be used, and the cut-off date would be the priority date of the 5,001st applicant.
WILL THERE BE CUT-OFF DATES FOR ANY ADDITIONAL FOREIGN STATES IN THE FIRST AND SECOND PREFERENCE CATEGORIES?
It may be necessary to establish a cut-off date for the “All Chargeability Areas” Second preference category at some point during the second half of the fiscal year. It is too early to estimate whether future demand will warrant such action. As of October 1st, cut-off dates for the First and Second preferences for China and India were established due to heavy demand; cut-off date movement is expected to be limited until a demand pattern has been determined.
WHY ARE THERE CUT-OFF DATES THIS YEAR AS OPPOSED TO PREVIOUS YEARS, WHEN THE CATEGORIES WERE CURRENT?
While the Employment categories had been “Current” for almost four years, several important factors affected the decision to implement cut-offs for FY-2006.
Prior to July 2001, demand for Employment numbers was such that cut-off dates were in effect for many categories, and that is the case once again for FY-2006.
The reasons the Employment categories had become current were:
The American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act (AC21) recaptured a “pool” of 131,000 Employment numbers unused in fiscal years 1999 and 2000, and allowed those recaptured numbers to be used by the oversubscribed countries, and
The substantial decline in demand for numbers for adjustment of status cases prevented the annual limits from being reached for several years.
In FY we are faced with continuing heavy demand due to the DHS and DOL backlog reduction efforts, along with an Employment limit which is approximately 40% lower than that of FY-2005. The lower annual Employment limit is a result of the virtual elimination of the “pool” of recaptured AC21 numbers, returning us to the pre-July 2001 situation.
WHAT ABOUT SCHEDULE A NUMBERS?
The 50,000 Schedule A numbers will provide relief to many Employment preference applicants, since any Schedule A applicant whose priority date is beyond the relevant Employment preference cut-off date can be processed and charged against the 50,000 limit. It is expected that Schedule A numbers will be available on a “Current” basis throughout all of FY-2006.
HOW IS THE EMPLOYMENT-BASED PER-COUNTRY LIMIT CALCULATED?
Section 201 of the INA sets an annual minimum Family-sponsored preference limit of 226,000, while the worldwide annual level for Employment-based preference immigrants is at least 140,000. Section 202 sets the per-country limit for preference immigrants at 7% of the total annual Family-sponsored and Employment-based preference limits, i.e. a minimum of 25,620.
The annual per-country limitation of 7% is a cap, meaning visa issuances to any single country may not exceed this figure. This limitation is not a quota to which any particular country is entitled, however. The per-country limitation serves to avoid monopolization of virtually all the visa numbers by applicants from only a few countries.
The AC21 removed the per-country limit in any calendar quarter in which overall applicant demand for Employment-based visa numbers is less than the total of such numbers available.
In recent years, the application of the rules outlined in AC21 has allowed countries such as China – mainland born, India, and the Philippines to utilize large amounts of employment numbers which would have otherwise gone unused.
During FY due to anticipated heavy demand, the AC21 provisions are not expected to apply, and the amount of Employment numbers available to any single country will be subject to the 7% cap. It is anticipated that the addition of unused FY-2005 Family numbers and the remaining AC21 numbers to the 140,000 annual minimum will result in an FY-2006 annual Employment limit of 152,000. This will mean an Employment per-country limit for FY-2006 of approximately 10,650.
To illustrate the effect of the reduced per-county limitation during FY-2006 on the oversubscribed countries, it should be noted that during FY-2005 India used approximately 47,175 Employment numbers.

There are some places, where employee is kept out of the loop and is being exploited. USCIS is the only body which can help in this. It should send copies of all the transactions it makes with either attorney or the employer. that way the employer/ attorney doesn't get a chance to exploit the employee.
While we can seek IV's help in this for future, what options do we have NOW if we are caught in this situation? Is there any expert on this out here? Can we use a copy of the FP notice instead of the receipt notice. The FP notice has all the information like Name, Case#, RD, ND etc..

- You will never apply for US citizenship
AND
- You children won't need tuition or resident rates when they go to college
The last point depends on the university. Many accept EAD as sufficient for qualifying as an in-state resident for tuition purposes.
At least, one I am in contact with does.

Not sure of schools since I dont have any kids of school going age yet. However dont expect that much disp[arity in educational standards from Toronto.
Yes employment opp from spouse may be limited. However there is atleast a chance compared to staying in the US. Windsor real estate is also much cheaper than Toronto (you can buy a decent home in Windsor for 200 K. You will need 300 K in Toronto for same house).
Plus if you come to the point there is no way your GC will ever come, you can always move from Windsor to Toronto.

I received an RFE too in Nov 1st week. It was about the evaluation. (It was submitted earlier but still) Lawyer mailed them the required document and now the status has changed to "We received your response to the request on Nov 14th and the case processing has resumed".
How many days does it take them now to make a decision? (Btw I am EB3 and my 140 submission date was Nov 2006)
lookin at the approvals i think it will take anywhere from 1-3 months

Ask your parents (anyone of them) to visit the registrar at the municipal office of your home town. The registrar will issue the birth certificate once your parents submit an affidavit to the office. Hope this helps.
nmdial I dont think the registrar will issue a birth certificate based on affidavit from the parents.
Usually for people who dont have birth registered at birth or hospital records we have to obtain a non-availibility certificate from the local authority. Along with this certificate we submit a notarized affidavit signed by one/both the parents. Now we have learnt that this affidavit has to be signed in the presence of the registrar. Hopefully that should be ok then.

I received RFE on my 140 on nov 15th. I came to know about this when i checked the status online. It says on Nov 15th we mailed you a notice requesting further evidence . I-140 Receipt date is dec 11 2006. I do not yet know what the RFE is about. How many days does it take for the RFE to arrive normally ??
As USCIS sends out the RFE in regular mail, it takes about 4/5 business days to get it in hand. The lawyer and employer will add their buffer if they are busy or if the RFE is related to the employer, etc. The reason being once you know about the RFE you would get on top of them to send a response. They will use this opportunity to make bottom line money.
One good thing that USCIS had done is put time constraints on the RFE's (Though I don’t support this 100% as there are drawbacks). In earlier days the employer used to send response after 3/4 months so that they could delay the case as long as they can to have you tied down.
As I-140 is an employer's document, you might not have much say in this case. I suggest you to take it easy and watch out carefully in your benefit. Obtain a copy of the RFE before you do anything as there are lots of professional fraud lawyers out there who will do anything to make money.
I wish you good luck in your I-140 case.

LostInGCProcess,
The only reason I want to still enter on H4 is that my H4 is stamped until 2010, hence why not use it and save money and hassle on AP entry. As you have said that working on EAD immediately invalidates the H4 status. This is OK for me, but at least I have avoided the AP procedure stuff. Plus the primary applicant is on H1 and hence we both can enter on H1 and H4 respectively rather than one entering on H1 and the other on AP. Let me know if this clears your doubt and if so, can you think this would work out. Also, if you can, please respond to my other questions
Thanks,
