Why not? They have to send the receipt notice on time. They have to send AP / EAD within certain days. Immigrants plan certain events based on these laws. If anyone decides to prepare and file a lawsuit for not getting EAD, he/she could do it now as per the law. Some one said, there is a law that they should be giving EAD in 90 days.
Again EAD is valid for only one year. You have to file in advance and you will get one year from the date of filing or approval I am not sure. If you dont get EAD on time, then youare not supposed to work. PERIOD. If this happens a lot, then lawsuit is for sure from someone like me who have family with two kids and play by rules. I have strong backing of my company HR.
If I interpret correctly you are saying because USCIS will not like to work on so many EADs and APs year after year AND SO they themselves will seek increase in annual GC numbers to clear up the mess. I wish your predictions would turn out to be true.:)
However, if enough EB GC numbers are not available, USCIS can not be repsonsibe for this. They have corrected the one mistake they did with the visa bulletin fiasco. I don't see any other basis for additional lawsuits.

Keep in mind when you change to your new Job .Your previous labor was approved in specific job code plus your advertisement which your old company used for filing perm application. All those job requirements need to match at least by 50% or so.
At what stage will my current job description be matched to the Job description in my Labor or I-140?
My I-140 is approved foralmost a year now and I had enquired with USCIS a few month ago and they told me my Name check has also been cleared and my case is just waiting I-485 adjudication when visa numebrs are available. I thought when my Priority date becomes current, I will get my GC seamlessly unless there is an RFE.
Also, is there any documentation that states 50% job description match? This is the first time i'm hearing this criteria. I do understand that if I work as Mechanical engineer, I should not chnage my job to a Software engineer...but will getting a Mechanical Engineering job in a totally different industry be a problem?
Thanks again for your time.

I similarly applied online on Dec 20th and haven't heard anything at all. I applied online and the documents were sent to the Neb office. Can you please share your details on I765 extension filing?
well, honestly speaking, it wasn't an extension. i am still on h1b, however it expires soon, so, i filed at texas service center, taking the 120 day period as the processing period.
what i mean by not an extension is that, i once applied for 765 when i filed by 485 during july 2007 fiasco, but later, i never bothered to renew it.
hope this helps,
Jai Hind

well - for the antis - the ONLY post they liked seems to be "pack your bags and go home". Lets not try to force ourselves to satisfy them.
Now, when it comes to out of status issues - lot of people do genuinely fall out of status. There is nothing called exploiting the loophole unless someone breaks the laws.
It is obvious that one must not be on bench, or after layoff without a job. There is no room for loopholes.
We have always seen that USCIS does treat every petition for renewal on a case to case basis. Grace period (considerable) has been considered for genuine cases.
Infighting is common - it happens everywhere. People seldom change.
See - IV is not something like a freedom movement or asking for rights for poor or downtrodden - IV is basically a group of immigrants who are skilled and well educated who want to lobby for a change in system and sort issues. Everyone here has their own selfish motive and that's why this infighting among eb2 vs eb3 , MS vs BS, India vs ROW et al......
So lets not worry too much because antis paint all of us together because of actions of some people. If people realize and change - well it is good for all - otherwise - "we cannot make the horse drink water .." you know what I mean

sam_hoosier,
You are correct to the 'could' part.
Let me begin my explanation by stating my position on debt default:It is bad, it' NOT worth it and don't ever do it. With the explanation that I will be providing below, I don't want to sound like I'm encouraging debt defaulting, which I'm absolutely NOT. There are severe consequences for your credit, if you default a debt.
So, with that accusation out of my way :), let me explain the logic behind why I think OP is ok. Only thing that is in OP's favor is statutory time-limits, he had dodged the debt bullet for 5 years,afaik, creditors including the collection agencies lose their right to take him to court for a debt older than 5 years from the first date of default. Unless, OP makes some kind of partial payment now, which will bring the debt to current. At this point it will be a mistake for OP to do that. Collection agencies force him to do that mistake with all kinds of scary tactics -- He got to have a thick skin to settle the debt with whatever he can afford once for all.
Secondly, collection agencies buy debt in bulk, like 1000 defaults at a time. Collection agencies go through a rigorous screening processes, including threatening phone calls, attorney-letter-head notifications etc, for each debt, even before they can take it to court. When they could not talk to him or trace him or find any utility bills of him for 5 years, they would just consider him as MIA. Unless this guy is a rich dude with Hummers parked outside his mansion all the time Or has couple of rental properties on his name, they will not risk further investment on this particular debt.
Like always, my 2 cents.
I stand by my suggestion that OP must seek help from a Govt or a not-for-profit Debt Help or the best thing is to seek Attorney's help if you can afford. Don't go to the collection agency or to any of your debtors first.
Best!
Sorry to say, you have your facts wrong :cool:
The SOL for WA on open ended accounts is 6 years, and credit card debt is considered open ended account. The collection agency definitely has the option to take him to court. Now they may not actually do it, but the OP was concerned about the risk of being taken to court and that risk is definitely there.

I added this process:
1. Senate Judiciary mark up and pass bill proposal
2. Senate majority leader schedule floor discussion. If bill do not have support of more than 60% Senators, Motion of Cloture can not pass and bill may have indefinite discussion and amendments. It is important to have more than 60% member's support otherwise bill have no future. Senate Kennedy is trying to negotiate with both parties to have more than 60 senators in favor of bill.
3. Senate Pass bill
4. Step 1 to 3 are separately done at House
5. If the language of bill passed by House and Senate is not same, it will go to House/Senate conference committee. It is in power jurisdiction of House and Senate leadership to appoint committee members and their schedule. Last year, House leadership didn't appoint committee for CIR.
6. Conference committee will remove all inconsistency of the bill and approve bill with common language.
7. Senate and House separately pass/fail conference approved bill with limited discussion and no amendments.
8. If it pass by both House and Senate, President will sign it or use veto to the bill.
Long way to go. it really need political will, blessing, and commitment to pass any bill.
Macaca has posted a thread explaninng the legislative process ..
Please go through it...
For a bill to become law...
1. House has to pass it..
2. Senate has to pass it..
They might pass different versions..
3. They have to resolve their differences through conference process.
4. The conference report is approved by both houses..
5. President signs it...
The sempember timeline looks realistic...

Hi Experts,
The question i've is:
I heard from my Immigration Lawyer that,from November 01, 2008, any person who works in Information Technology (IT) and who has Advanced Degree from USA like Master's is eligible for EB3 Category only and not EB2 category. Please confirm if the above statement is true or not.
Thanks,
Abhi

It is in the bottom of the first page of I-485 application form. It says "Fill in box if G-28 is attached to represent the applicant"
Your employer or lawyer can certainly fill it in but they would need your signatures on the G-28 form. Without your signatures, no one can represent you as it is YOUR application.
I filled the 485 forms my self.
Where is the box in the right bottom in 485 which says I will be represented by attorney?? In 485 I see two locations for signature (one for applicant) and other for representative?
Can my employer sign it now (without me sending G-28??)

Hi Miriam,
I appreciate your efforts in highlighting this issue. It is a high stakes issue for would be future americans who respect the law, abide by it and wait patiently for their turn in line to apply for
green card, while maintaining legal non-immigrant working status during years of wait, paying taxes and contributing to social security. I would also like to highlight that in H1B status if one loses the job, he or she needs to leave the country in 10 days.
I am glad you are bringing the issue of legal immigration to light. After all, thats what everybody wants, immigration to be orderly and legal, but is it workable ? and why people trying to follow the law feel cheated and duped by the government, after waiting patiently for years and abiding to
the laws.
The Dept of State and Dept of Homeland Security(USCIS) acted against the interests of immigrants who are trying to immigrate legally. Legal immigration is the real issue. If it works, there
will not be a need to grant amnesty to millons of illegal alilens. The real solution to stop
illegal immigration is to make legal immigration work. Unfortunately, the government is going
in the opposite direction as evident by the actions of DOS and DOHS on July 2, 2007.
Is government sending the message to people trying to follow the law that, Following the law is
going to get tougher, just break it, become illegal aliens and we are working on an amnesty.
I would request you to get to the bottom of this and find out whether right procedures and laws were followed in using the visa numbers ? If not, then the conclusion is, government of United States failed in respecting and following its own laws. Is it not a travesty, that law breakers are
probably going to be rewarded with an amnesty and govenment is not respecting them either ?
We are resepecting it, following it and are getting the door slammed on us. I never thought, I
would see this in America. My impression of America has changed, forever.
Regards,
( Priority Date Dec 16,2003 , EB3 India

Hello Ms. Miriam:

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

Hi GCNirvana,
I found one of your earlier posts on this forum suggesting that 3 years back you were in the same situation as I am today - expired VISA and two extension approvals (797's). In my case, VISA expired in oct 09, current 797 expires 31 dec 09 and next (against I-140) starts jan 2010.
As your's was the only post i found on this topic, it will help me a great deal if you could let me know about your stamping experience. You mentioned that your stamp showed validity dates from both 797's, could you please share some more details on that? Did it have two start dates and end dates?
Besides, from another one of your posts, i gathered that it is best that i come back into the us only when my newer 797 is already active. i guess it wud reduce complications at POE. Would appreciate if you could give me some suggestions here too.
Well, i can already thank you for your posts as i really struggled to find information relevant to my case before i came across your posts.
Thanks.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Visa Stamp in Passport: 13-Jan-2007 (I94 in passport expires on 1/13/07)
Current I-797 : From 02/24/2006 to 04-Jun-2007
3-Year extension based on I-140 from: 05-Jun-2007 to 04-Jun-2010
In this scenario, if I goto India, say in Feb, get my visa stamping done, what will be the validity of my visa in the passport?
1. 05-Jun-2007 to 04-Jun-2010 as stated in my 3-yr extension or
2. the date I went for interview till 04-Jun-2010??
If its the former, then how can I get into US during March '07 as there will be a gap in my visa dates in the passport?
I will send the same questions to my attorney but would like to know before hand, just in case, if my attorney tries to act smart :(
Thanks in advance for your responses...

Certainly the layoffs have been on the steady rise since last quarter of 2008. Most layoff's i have heard were either in Oct 2008 or Feb/Mar 2008 and mostly for contractors.
So layoff's are definitely happening, but a lot of full-time emplyoyees are doing better than those in contracting.
in my area i have seen around 350 contractors laid of by a insurance company and also downsizing in the state workforce.

Knock yourself out... After all happiness is not the only thing in life and what beats the double whammy of getting married and getting back on H1
God bless you my friend...
So I am in some real mess ....
I married to a gal in 2007 during my visit to my home country but it did not work out b/w her and me due to some family reasons. (Not divorced just separated)
I came back to US in 2008 and applied for 485. My green card got approved and now my wife is in my home country and I am in US.
Now my wife and I have reconciled and I want to bring her to US.
Can I apply for her Green card and bring back to US ASAP w/o waiting for 5 years as I married before approval of my GC. I can get papers from my home country showing that I got married way before my GC approval.
I did not show at any stage in GC application that I was ever married. I thought the marriage is gone so why show it and now it could hurt me. I even dont remember if there was any question regarding marital status on 485 application.
Please help me other wise I would just have to cancel my GC and go back to H1 to bring my wife here. I cant leave her any more with our stupid relatives who might again break our marriage.
Please help , I am very desperate.
So I am in some real mess ....
I married to a gal in 2007 during my visit to my home country but it did not work out b/w her and me due to some family reasons. (Not divorced just separated)
I came back to US in 2008 and applied for 485. My green card got approved and now my wife is in my home country and I am in US.
Now my wife and I have reconciled and I want to bring her to US.

I am in the exactly same situation.
I talked to my Attorney and they are going to send me Originla I-485 receipt notice. What they told me the RD on original notices is July 2, 2007.
If this is true, then I will just ignore the Aug 28, 2007 RD on my Transfer Notices.
Try to get your original I-485 from Attorney and check out what the RD is on them....
An please post here if you find anything else.
I have my EADs and APs approved already.

One of our members has written this as below, it looks good.

Hi,
The plight of legal immigants has been lost in all the noise and focus on illegal immigration. There are about 500K legal high-skilled immigrants from around the world who are presently working in the US legally on a temporary work visa issued by the US Citizenship and Immigration Services and in the queue for a permanent resident card also known as Green Card (GC).
There are only 140K GCs given per year for all employment based categories and the employer who sponsors the immigrant has to prove that the job cannot be filled by an American Citizen through a lbour market test. The 140K number is also used to count the spouse and children of the high skilled immigrant. So in essence there are only about 60K high skilled immigrants given a GC each year. Also there is a per country limit of 7%, so only about 5000 GCs are given to high-skilled geal immigrants from each country. This has lead to a huge backlog in GCs especially from countries which send may high-skilled immigrants like China and India. To make matters worse the Congress authorized about 250K illegal aliens a one time waiver to adjust status in the year 2000 and those numbers come out of the regular 140K per year granted to legal high-skilled immigrants.
All this has resulted in a expected wait of "8-12 years" for getting a GC for a "Play-By The Rules" legal high-skilled immigrant. Add another % years after that to get US Citizenship. Seeing these kind of numbers many talented young engineers , scientists and doctors are moving to other countries in droves. No one would like a wait for 15 years to become a naturalized citizen. America is losing a lot due to this Retrogression (Backlog) in GCs, especially when there is a global competition for Talent. The only ones who have patience to stick on is those who have already been in the waiting game for
years and have a lot at stake to leave it at this stage. And for those that chose to wait in this manner life is hell. For 7-10 years they cannot change jobs, cannot get promoted or even change job roles within the same company, cannot get transferred to a different location in same company. Any of these events will mean starting in line all over again. Also their spouses cannot work and they cannot buy homes or make other investment decisions due to the uncertainity, many who have kids in college have to pay higher tution.
I am one of these stuck in this GC hell for the last 9 years, I came to the United States as a student in 1995 to pursue graduate studies in Engineering in a top-ranked university. I have been employed legally in the US since I graduated in 1997 and been pursuing the GC dream for the last 9 years. The end is not in sight and if Congress does not pass any relief I expect the wait to last at least another 5 years.
What does it take for congress to pass some relief? Just some simple relief measures
1. Increase the numbers of GCs to 250K per year temporarily for 2-3 years to alleviate the current problem.
2. Allow to recover unused GC numbers from previous 5 years to be used to alleviate the current retrogression.
3. Do not count spouse and dependents towards the annual number
4. Do not count against the annual cap count certain high-skilled immigrants who have a advanced degree from the US and have worked in a high-skilled job legally in the United states for 3 years .
