Folks,
Here is the new record. Both mine and my wife's got approved within 10 days. Received/Notice date: June 16th. Got the approval emails today June 26th.
This was at TSC and we had done paper filing through my company lawyer.
Looks like they want to milk us again next year for another renewal.

very funny! :D
That's why there is a saying that you should never watch sausages and laws being made.
The Cantwell amendment and Lieberman amendment will fail to pass the vote. It doesnt matter whether its ordered to lie on table or whether its ordered to take a nap on the table or have some lemonade on the table. And it doesnt matter what any of those "Motion to... " means.
Both of those amendments, if debated, will fail. It will take 10 seconds for Bernie Sanders, Ted Kennedy and Dick Durbin to scream on top of their lungs and kill it. And the reason is very simple. There is a massive H1B exemption ON TOP OF 180,000 QUOTA. People who have been so successful this year so far in restricting H1 and employment based GCs are not going to miss that nice little H1 exemption at the bottom of both these amendments. So stop scratching your heads over what the "lying on table" means, because whatever is lying on table is unpassable if it somehow awakes from the table and starts dancing in the well of the senate floor.

I filed my labor twice with Fragomen and got rejected in 2001 and 2002.
Just for H1B visa extension they took more than 9 months. Although they have all my papers for months. Eventually, I had to leave my employer for good.
Stay away from them if you have choice.

If your case is EB2 worthy. It makes a lot of sense. I have many friends who did that and they have their GCs now. While I'm rotting in this mess... my fault: I didn't convert to EB2 which I could have.
dude,
How would one decide if the conversion has merits? In my case, I have EB3(I) PD of 2003. In the past 5 years, I've gained progressive experience thru my job. Is there any benchmarks or guidelines on when to convert from EB3 to EB2?
Thanks,
GCisaDawg

Earlier today I got an email from USCIS that said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Card production ordered.
On June 29, 2008, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."
Then by the evening my I-485 said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.
On June 30, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later.

At a high level; country quotas in EB do not make a whole lot of sense. I have tried to figure out why they are there; how companies and candidates use EB greencards. Conclusion, I came up with is that in a lot of ways EB is a way to circumvent family base immigration. Many peoples parents have greencards, brothers, sisters, friends, etc; and they realize that it takes too long to get greencard through family base and the fastest way is to come through h-1b and go through EB route. Also; companies; company owners will favor their own people in filing h-1b's and greencards and then you have a situation where certain people are favored due to their nationality or connection. I firmly believe that uscis and the regulatory authorities understand this and hence the reason why there is country quotas.
This is an indictment of the labor certification system and not a defense of the country based quotas.

I flew Air France once in 2003. My connecting flight from Paris to Delhi got delayed by 12 hours. When I approached the Air France staff, they told me that since I had an Indian passport, I would have to wait out the entire time in the transit area. Meanwhile, they proceeded to make arrangements for other non-Indian passengers. They even refused to acknowledge my attempts to reason with them, either not replying to me, or replying only in French. I filed a formal complaint afterwards, but never got a reply.
I have travelled on numerous times since then, but never with Air France. I don't even consider them as an option anymore.
Sparky I had same experience in 2003 only my next flight was after 24 hours. They refused to accommodate me in a hotel or on another flight though they had sense to issue me a calling card for 10 euros and a meal coupon. I have never flow AF since that day (even if their tickets are cheaper) and neither has any of my friends or family member. Every time I hear somebody is planning to fly to India, I tell them my story and trust me nobody I know has flow with AF since 2003.

Well, I just made my third call and the lady sounded quite confident that applications that have been received and are in processing are not affected by this and it's only NEW applications that would be coming in after July 2 that are affected. I understand what you're saying that they don't assign it but I have read before that they "assume" each application qualifies unless they eventually figure out otherwise. And now I am making my own assumption that if they assume it qualifies then it's assumed a visa is indirectly assigned? Wait, I'm confused:D.
If you filed early May and received a Notice of Receipt from USCIS, that means your I-485 is already in process, and you have been assigned an Alien Number already. The announcement from INS is very clear, "Effective Monday July 2, 2007 there will be no further authorizations in response to requests for Employment-based preference cases". It says EFFECTIVE JULY 2 and "NO FURTHER" right? That means the only ones affected are applications received July 2 and onwards.
I don't know what you are confused about. Ther is nothing confusing about it at all. Maybe you're just a plain dumbass.

Ok..I know I should read thru the older posts, but didnt get a sense of what is required in my case, so I am posting the question online.
My wife was on her independent H1B. she travelled out side the country and was readmitted on H1b. After that she turned in her 2 weeks notice and has started working for another company on her EAD.
We have not applied for our AP previously.
My question is this:
In Part 1 , Q3
Class of Addmission
Should she put H1B (last admitted as)
or would it be Adjustment of Status (since she is using EAD)
Also, what kind of supporting documents need to be sent?
I-485 copy
EAD Copy ( yes/ no)
I-94 H1B issued at POE (yes/no)
2 passport sized photographs?
anything else?
Class of admission is last admission on port. That should be H1B.

CIR is going to be back for sure no doubt about it and when it comes back it is going to be the same bill. Harrry Reid is just creating a drama so that he can reduce the number of amendments introduced by the republicans. There are currently more than 30 to 40 amendments remaining, with this drama harry reid is trying to reduce the amendments to about 5 or 6 more amendments.
We should try something like applying for 485 without priority date but even the cantwell cornyn amendment does not have this provision
There is a SLIM chance that CIR might come back this year, but if this CIR is taken again with its current provision for the EB Category and H1B in it, it is very bad for many of us.
Plan B, I think must be, trying to insert or get some sort of SMALL provision that would alleviate the problem for vast majority of us, into some appropriation bill (Read some where there will be 11 appropriation bill taken up this summer) as the appropriation bill must have to pass for the government to function.
I would either try for filing AOS while visa numbers are not available with an extra fee of $1000… or recapture of unused visas from previous years and use them once without country limit might help. As long as we are not asking for some thing new or more, but like recapture, change of process to ease the current problem, etc might have a SMALL chance.

Actually some of concern of EB3 is valid.But their explanation cannot convince DOS or USCIS. According to DOS/CIS EB1 has more skills than EB2 and EB2 has more skills than EB3. That is not true in many cases. EB1 most cases are genuine except some cases in multi national managers. A manager in CTS could file in EB1 but at the same time similar manager in Intel cannot file in EB1. But only very few are in numbers because of restrictions like working in other country branch etc. So people do not bother about EB1 being current always.
Coming to EB2, the job requirement require Masters or 5 years experience. If the requirement is genuine then it is ok to give priority to EB2. But in reality(mainly consulting companies) the job requirement is decided mostly in Lawyers office or by candidate just because candidate has
master degree or 5 years experience. Though CIS scrutinise the EB2 applications still rejection rate is less. And also many persons trying to use 3 year degree and 2 year Master and apply for Eb2 by adding PG diploma etc.
So it appears that there is no difference in skills between EB2 and EB3. If CIS and companies follow strictly the law and good faith then number of candidates would have been less in EB2 and EB2 would have been current and remaining would have been transferred to EB3. But these reasons could not be given to DOS/CIS. According to DOS/CIS EB2 has more skills than EB3.
Are u saying all eb2s have earned the experience under the table. Then why couldn't you do so then ?
Dont blame the lawyers or the employers. May be there are one or two, which I am yet to find. But if you have seen it and very sure of it, why didnt u complain about it earlier to the appropiate officials.
Dont be a cry baby.

See so many ppl getting their EADs in 15-20 days. Mine was filed in first week of May at NSC, still no news. From the LUDs, it doesn't appear anyone has touched the applications yet.
Are these fast approvals only from TSC or there r ppl from NSC who see 15-20 day approvals?
