Hi all,
Just wanted to rop by and say I received my welcome email today.
Been here since 2001, but my company wouldn't let me file labor until December 2004.
Good luck all, and keep the faith.

wow that's a long wait to file your labor. Well in any event you got your GC and i wish you could have gotten it sooner since IMO you should have filed your labor much sooner. Good luck in all that you have planned on doing.

i am not baniya... in fact i lament the fact that i am not a baniya... i am a pure bred brahmin with high education, my entire family is highly educated till my family tree can be traced... they are all people who did noble things for God, kings etc... but i am aspiring to be a big time baniya... this last century and present time is a capitalist period... baniyas rock! they rule! if i had wealth, i would never share it... i will simply find ways to make other people slightly happy so that they keep buying my products/services... hail baniyaism

Many are porting to EB2 from EB3, Hope that clears some traffic @EB3. I hope USCIS will equally distribute the spill over in year or two with help of IV and lawfirms.
Its in 10s. Not even in 100s. And sadly, the DAMN drunk USCIS not taking this into consideration while setting a cut off dates for EB3 I. Either Visas get wasted or spilled over to other categories that are already in good shape, for ex EB 2 (Not specifically India).

Here is what my attorney has sent regarding the AILA release, i dont know whether to believe him or other attorneys, i think i have no choice but to go with what my attorney says.He has been really good in these kinds ofnotices for the past 3 plus years, hope he is correct even with this.
1)There is no way that USCIS would get away with shutting down filing of EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 Adjustment filings without a massive class action lawsuit against the agency;
2)The power to determine the availability or non-availability of permanent residence visa numbers rests solely with the Department of State. USCIS rejected the �Other Worker� Adjustments based upon a notice from the Department of State that there were no longer any visa numbers for the category. I recently attended our annual AILA immigration conference and there were members in attendance who had interviewed the Department of State official who sets the priority dates. The understanding was unequivocal that the Department of State office felt the numbers would remain available throughout July, and perhaps, as late as September;
3)At this time, there are 40,000 immigrant visa numbers available for the rest of the fiscal year. This means that in order for the Department of State to issue any kind of notice to USCIS, 40,000 permanent residence petitions would have to be APPROVED prior to the end of July. I am highlighting the word approved, because I need for all of my clients to understand that between June and July, there will a lot more than 40,000 Adjustments filed. However, what determines an immigrant visa number usage is the approval of a permanent residence.
Now let�s go back to simple math: there are 140,000 immigrant visas available per fiscal year. 40,000 visa numbers are available at this time. The fiscal year runs from October 1st through September 30th. That means that in the first 9 months of the fiscal year, the Department of State and USCIS have managed to approve 100,000, which turns out to be 11,111 petitions per month. There is no possible way that USCIS and the Department of State are going to approve almost 4 times the number of permanent residencies in the month of July. The agencies do not have the time, nor do they have the manpower to approve 40,000 petitions within the next 30 days or so. That is the very reason why the Department of State official solely responsible for the priority dates felt pretty good about the availability of visa numbers throughout the month of July when he spoke to my colleagues from AILA.
To be honest with all of you, I was really disappointed in the message from AILA. In the rush to �inform,� they forgot to pause, analyze and really discuss the true possibility that USCIS would be directed by the Department of State to halt receipt of Adjustment of Status petitions. I want my clients to know this: at this point, I am not worried that the visa numbers will not be available throughout July. If I were worried, I would let you know. My responsibility is to guide you through this process and if there is any genuine worry on my part, I will let you know IMMEDIATELY.
This attorney is right. DOS is the one that manages the numbers. Not USCIS. USCIS is just a robot in processing the applications. DOS has legal obligation to issue not more than 140K EB visas per year. They may issue less than 140k visas per year. That�s is alright, no one can question. They can not exceed the limitation. The purpose of all category current in July is to approve all eligible 485s that were pending due to lack of visa numbers. It is not meant for accepting tons of 485 in July. If they do not make current for July, they cannot issue 40,000 visas before the end of FY. USCIS ombudsman scolded them in wasting the visas, despite the heavy demand. That is the reason why it is current. It is �current� not for accepting the tons of 485s. Also, Ombudsman recommended strongly that USCIS has to accept only correct number of 485s to process within time.
Even AILA failed to understand the difference between law and regulation. The regulation is a detailed procedure to implement the law. If they violate law, then they are in trouble. If they violate regulation without violating the law, it is perfectly alright. But only thing, it is not transparent and ideal way of handling the process.
Again, visa bulletin is an advisory notice by DOS to manage the numbers. DOS can instruct any time USCIS to accept or not to accept any 485s in between two visa bulletins.
If any one browse, USCIS web site, you can see this
� The requestor has verified that the current visa bulletin indicates that a visa number is available for the country and classification involved, and that the current bulletin has not been superseded by an advisory from the Visa Control Office.
The Department of State has guaranteed to USCIS that so long as the current visa bulletin and any superseding advisories indicate that a number is available, a number will be assigned.

Soft LUD - Only the date for the Last Update Date changes but the actual status and the message do not change.
Hard LUD - Not only the date changes, but both the status and message change as well.

Like I said you can start at the same pace as you normally walk from your car to your office. Do that for 20 mins or 30 minutes this week and we will increase the pace very slowly and add a few minutes each day. Also always listen to your body and do what your body can. it is very important to respect our body's limitations. I have learnt that the hard way
Yeah I started off faster than normal and for the last five minutes I did a stroll.. Its gone now, I don't feel it anymore.

I agree with the contents of the post. Personally, I have been writing letters regularly to the Congressman, the Senators of my State and also to the President. In most cases I have received responses.
Many of you may not find my observations interesting or you have also come across something similar. This is however for those of our friends who are yet to write to law makers!
Following are some of the obesravtions which I would like to share:
1. Letters posted (not emails) seem to be read and replied. (Ofcourse, most of us are now so much used to email that it is difficult to print and post, but I still think it is worth the effort)
2. Unless the subject line refers to a "specific bill no." the answers are very generic. In fact many such responses are not relevant at all
3. Whenever the letters have been to the point and within ONE PAGE, they seem to draw attention.
4. I have tried to meet my Congressman for about 2 years, but in vain. However, over a period of time I have been able to develop some friendship with his immigration assistant. They are the people who prepare notes and present it to the Congressman
5. Recently I got a response from one of the Senators on the S1085 bill. He is a Democrat and has stated that he is supportive of the bill and that it is currentlyundergoing "judicial review by the Senate". I really do not know what it means, though!
5. Regarding CIR I got a clear letter from Mr McCain stating that unless the "borders are secure and sealed" CIR does not make any sense. I have once again written to Sen McCain that we are legal immigrants and would like to seek his support as well as thatof all Senators and Congressmen, from both parties. I am yet to get a response. Once I get a response I will share it with all of you
6. I am no writing a 2 separate letters (one about the new bill about passing on Lottery Visas to EB) and also another about the fate of of HR 5882. I would also be writing the Congressman who has sponsored this "Lottery Visa" about the HR5882.
The task is uphill and very difficult. We have no option but to try the beaten track. Many of us are here for more than a decade and the end is never so near. Time does not wait and we cannot board a time machine to get back in time! I am one such person who left UK and came here! Had I continued there I would have become a citizen 2 years back!
Perhaps we can try the Gandian method of "mass satyagraha" which is a very peaceful means, to highlight our situation. We can do it in summer, may be in June / July and start working in this direction. Not sure how many will scoff at me, but perhaps it is worth the try.
GOD BLESS all our friends who have been patiently waiting for ages!
Best wishes!

No. Last year we had an RFE as my wife's medicals were missing a signature. As Pappu mentioned in another thread most of them were pre approved and were waiting on visa numbers I think.
Thanks. My case was pre-approved in September 2009 (I have confirmed this fact twice (Infopass and Service Center officer) - now am looking at my inbox, sms, and US CIS account all day, waiting for any sign of approval

I don't think the July/August filings will have impact on the retrogression right away. The cut-off dates would retrogress based on number of applications ready for approval/approved pending VISA number. The applications (485) filed in July/August are not processed yet and hence will not impact retrogression today.
right. in the AILA call also they cautioned that retrogression will become worse (dates moving back!) once USCIS starts processing all those July/August filers...

people this is such less amount, ready to pay so much money for renewing visas etc, but you can't sign up for 20 or 50 every month. This is really becoming like begging..I do understand everyone has family commitment and other financial need but $20/month is not too much !!
20/month is a joke for EB retrogression removal. It costs $15+/day for metro + car parking, to Washington DC.
Is it possible to know how many members have not paid a penny so far? Thanks.

I was under impression that being on H1b u cannot do intra day trading.. you can do only routine trading ( dont know excat term ) in which u buy stock and keep it for some time and sell it .. generally 3-4 days..
I do not know of any rule that separates Daytrading from any other trading style.
It is an investment .
Anyways I am no lawyer but I can ask my Tax agent to clarify if possible
