Life sucks with the way things are - why make it worse!!! Who cares what they write - they are probably looking for publcity - writing about outsourcing assures them more readers and more hits!!! Why let it bother you? If you are here, focus on making it big - don't let such unworthy views bother your views!!!

Either Hurricane Dolly knocked off their server (as one TSC CR told someone here), or $340 for each application is going somewhere else instead of improving USCIS infrastructure.

You are laying your own immaturity out there by rambling on and on about vague facts and statements only to make the same point again and again - that you think IV does not represent EB3. Why dont you state that one line and save us the trouble of reading your meaningless drivel??
yes, this rant is oft repeated by around 5-6 members who do NOT represent the thousands of EB folks (EB2 AND EB3) who are affected by this mess.
So before you start one of your long drawn essays again, step back and THINK (which you do not seem to be doing at all..or are not capable of doing) about whether you are contributing even one bit to solving the problem or trying to add to the problem. we can do a lot more if we spend less time trying to drill sense into wayward people like you.
Think about -
1) how many lawmakers you have met till date to resolve the EB3 problem (which you accuse IV of not solving). Have you asked a lawmaker while per country limits cannot be removed....an act which will remove all EB3 backlog??
2) how many IV advocacy events have you attended?
Yes and you are showing your maturity by talking about what i write as a long essay and garbage. Why are EB2 guys scared to have a dicsussion. Is it because you donot have any talking points and are talking vaguly yourselves
BTW the reason i write so detailed is because i believe i am respecting you by replying in detail to your points. I was under the impression that we were having a discussion, but sadly i am having a disucssion and you are ranting and raving.

Couldn't resist. Please follow the FOIA thread that is in red.
10,000 was collected and 2500$ advance was sent out to USCIS. Now we wait to hear back from them.
Do you honestly think something will come? I doubt. They asked for $10K as a routine without investigating into what is possible. While quoting the cost, they even asked "What is a Priority Date".
PD's are not anywhere in the system. They are nowhere other than filled in ink on I-140, or I-485 applications or receipts. Even there, sometimes they are blank or wrong. They check manually on these dates while approving applications. That's the whole reason that all cutoff date movement is based on pure guess work, and approvals are never in order of PDs.
Do you think they will check each application manually, and count them based on PD's?

You should ONLY use AP to re-enter. Do not re-enter on H1. In the secondary inspection, the IO will know that your GC has been approved. Congratulations !!!
Thanks. So i shouldnt re-enter even if i have the physical card with me?

A 2002 PD would get GC earlier that 2006 PD, even though the 2006 PD may get EAD/AP and other benefits earlier. EAD and AP have nothing to do with PD, only I-485 depends on PD.
Have you got this info from a truely realiable source? It seems there are 2 different opinions about this process, that's why I'm asking. I think it's fair to go by PD, but how CIS could sort out earlier PD from tens of thousands of applications is another question.

Congratulations Lasantha!!!
My PD is Feb 2005 at TSC, since my PD became current on the 1st April, I have not seen any LUDs on my USCIS account.
Accordingly, I was wondering what was your experience?
Specifically did you get any LUDs before you received the "Welcome New Resident" e-mail?
Thanks!

The IV bus journey from NJ was very well planned and executed. All I had to do as a "participant" was indeed to just hop on....no fine print! On the bus and at the rally made some wonderful friends.
singhsa3, mpada and everyone who may have worked on the NJ/NY bus logistics, you have been excellent! Thank you IV core for providing this convenience.
IV handle "laborchic" who was on our NJ bus co-coordinating the minute details of to and fro journey with help from another selfless soul "amit_sp”, superbly handled stopovers, timings, ensuring that we reached rally on time and also more importantly that 'No child (read registered bus member) was left behind' and keeping driver happy etc....
Special thoughts also go to whoever came up and arranged the idea of the Gurudwara stopover during the forward journey. It was simply superb! We were able to catch up some sleep there and were fresh for the rally. The host at the the Gurudwara was most gracious. The facilities were good. We were grateful for the lovely breakfast and tea that was served.
The rally was very well organized, right to the minutest details. It was a wonderful effort from some really tired but focused and determined looking volunteer folks whom I saw scrambling around while we participants had it easy. During the rally got a good view of the Capitol Hill and other spots. The cops on motorbikes, cars and bicycles monitoring our procession looked an awesome sight. But that paled compared to the feeling of camaraderie and friendship that was overwhelming all of us folks in white IV T shirts.
Also saw faces behind IV handles, the core and other ever active ones, and found out that they were just like me, two hands two legs.... no horns or feathers. Realization then struck that what probably differentiated them from a lot of us was simply that they have reacted to the same problems you and I have in a smart, constructive and selfless manner.
This is what I could remember and share with few of you who unfortunately could not make it and a whole lot of you who did not make it. To the latter, the feeling of high I have now from having acted upon my normal demons is something I am not able to describe. I just feel it......

Please refer to news below
Based on this..
1) USCIS cannot be holding the applications for too long.
2) The receipt number would be faster now and we do not have to worry when huge number of application will go in WHEN they revert their July 2 bulletin.
----------------------------------------------------------
New Direct Filing Instructions for Certain USCIS Forms
Petitioners and applicants are advised that new Direct Filing requirements come into effect July 30, 2007. USCIS says it will not reject cases filed in the prior filing location for 30 days after the new instructions go in to effect, that is, through August 29, 2007. This is true as long as the forms are accompanied by the proper filing fees and otherwise meet the filing requirements.
Note that on and after August 29, 2007, USCIS will reject cases filed in the wrong locations.
Direct filing will be implemented for the following forms: I-129F (Petition for Alien Fianc�(e)); Form I-131 (Application for Travel Document); I-140 (Immigrant Petition for Alien Worker); I-360 (Petition for Amerasian, Widow(er), or Special Immigrant); I-485 (Application to Register Permanent Residence or Adjust Status); I-765, Application for Employment Authorization); I-907 (Request for Premium Processing).
USCIS says it will issue revised filing instructions shortly. Meanwhile, in order to help the public determine the proper direct filing location, USCIS has developed a series of filing charts and posted them on its web site at www.uscis.org at the forms information page.
The above affected forms filed with the new direct filing locations prior to July 30, 2007 will NOT be rejected.

Why do I get a feeling you are incapable of digesting the concept of "Law of the land". There are certain rules that govern PR & Citizenship statuses ( of all countries)and only land mark & ground breaking edicts can alter such law�s , and that too very slightly. To put it were tersely "this is a bullshit suggestion" and is really wasting the purpose of this forum. The only reason so many people have responded is that it is "THAT RIDICULOUS"
That's a baseless comment. The law change of 5 yr req. after GC to 3 yr req. after GC for citizenship is procedurally same as any other law change including law change for increased visa numbers for GC. It is not like a change in constitution.
Which law change is easy or hard is an unknown. It depends on the current lawmakers and lobbies.
Having said that I agree EB GC issues are more pressing right now than to try and reduce citizenship wait times

Ok Chintu, it works for me as I am also in EST time zone, is it 9.30 AM / PM ? I will be online most of the time, you can ping me any time.. ( I will leave IV Browser open.. ) thanks and regards - Ramki.

Honestly I don't even see a point for these discussions, polls or predictions for EB3-I. The sooner we accept we are doomed the better. The only way out is to help ourselves but I don't think many EB3's are willing to do that.
I spoke to several in my office with earlier EB3 PD's (who might not even get GC's in the next 5-10 years !) and of course with EAD's and they have literally substituted EAD for a GC. They were once a part of IV (and some similar org's ?!) but now have completely lost hope and don't care. I tried to motivate them to join IV and support but they feel that IV does not cater to EB3's anymore. Sadly they are not even trying to port to EB2. They are just content with a job and EAD.
So, I am not really sure how many of us are actually willing to fight ?!
In fact it's even worse for people like me who are still waiting to file their I-485. Is it going to take us 5,10 or 20 years just to get an EAD ?!
I agree, EB3 is doomed and I agree its better to accept the fact but dont agree that IV has forgotten EB3 (I can understand your pain).
also as far as comprehensive Immigration reform is consodered...I would say whether anyone likes it or not. Its just for votes (fight is so as to who gets thec credit DEMs Or REPUBLICANS). I am againsit as it promotes giving amnesty to illegals.

Will go for infopass on 28th Aug and will carry the USCIS memo dated June 12th 2008 with me.I will insist them to give me their reply in writing (as a letter), I plan to talk with their superior if they do not provide in writing.

If you intend to join this company on an EAD, then this company will HAVE to do an AC21.
Without an AC21, you will be working illegally as you are working for a company without proper work authorization. Your EAD will at all times require a sponsoring employer. When you are no longer working for your sponsoring company, you are in violation of your EAD authorization.
Hi
I have a full time offer from a well know company here in the bay area. I have an EAD.
The new company wants a copy of the following
1) Labor certification
2) I-140
The thing is I don't want the new employer to file AC-21 as it may back fire on my pending I-485 as we have seen in the cases in the past. with I-485 being denied etc.
Any one in same boat who was asked for labor as well as I-140 copy? How do I convince new employer that, AC-21 is not necessary to be filed?
