That's what they did in JULY Fiasco , shouldn't have done in July 07 and influx of EB3 based AOS applications of July 2007 are stopping eligible EB2 applicants now. At least all of those EB3 folks are enjoying the benefits of EAD and AP ..EB2 folks who missed 2007 chance to file for 485 are suffering now because of those many EB3 pending applications, EB3 folks have to wait for EB2 folks or they have to move on like changing to EB2 based jobs. July 2007 helped most of EB3 folks...it's the time for them to wait for EB2 folks and should feel good for their EAD benefits. I'm not against to EB3 but EB2 must be the priority.
I agree that they shouldn't have done that in July 2007. Don't just tell that EB3 only got the benefits of that. Even EB2 got it. The only thing I am hoping is not another July 2007 again. But it might happen. I am not sure how - influx of EB3 based AOS applications of July 2007 are stopping eligible EB2 applicants now :D. Am I missing some thing.
Or I should ignore you looking at your number of posts.

yes, my earlier txt file wasnt complete.

22238 INDIA 2006
1350 INDIA 2005
I am guessing another 20,000 for 2007.
that's close to 45000 only primary applicants. Average of 2 per family, around 100,000 visa numbers needed. and we have 10K every year. :D :mad: :eek:
so even for the 2006 folks, anyone that got certified around october 2005 may have a chance in the coming FY 2008. after that it's going to be one quarter every FY.
another 10 years I think unless they increase the total visa numbers.
This sux man.

pardon me , but that thread is way too long and hard to find responses of ppl from July 17- later on
Use . Much more convenient...
My employer overnighted my application to NSC on July 26 and I received my 485 receipt yesterday with a receipt date of July 27 and notice date of Sep 06 with LIN numbers. A 140/485 concurrent case which I think has its own queue.

Hey guys, if you read the original post, you will see that this bill is not at all about re-capturing wasted visas for nurses, its about removing visa caps for nurses. That's good news for everybody, as that would mean if the visa recapture bill ever passes, nothing would be deducted from it for the nurses as it was bound to happen otherwise. So better to support this bill that start a debate on who is more important than whom.

I dont think there is any waiting period, if you have multiple entry visa you can enter any time. My parents entered after 3 months gap , one noticeable caution, Immigration officer(Lady) asked my father why is he coming frequently, my father answered "Family event and get together" , officer smiled and wished good luck, and gave 6 months I94..

somebody surely will try to help you.
Hi, I 'm Technocactus...got a question and hopefully someone could have an answer/feedback:
Does anybody know about renewing a visa (B2/Visit class) when the traveler is currently in the United States? The traveler is given 6 months by the US Immigration officer when he entered the US. The traveler needs to stay in the US until after the visa expiration date (visa will expire in 2 weeks) for medical treatment appointments though the I-94 card stamp has 5 months to go. Is there a way a visa could be renewed in the US WITHOUT GOING BACK TO THE ORIGINAL COUNTRY - JUST TO RENEW THE VISA. I know that the State Department stopped services on visa renewal or revalidation after the 9/11 incident. I called USCIS, then the State Dept and I was advised to call the Customs & Border Patrol but I didn't get hold of an actual human voice yet. And I don't see any close answer to my question in their websites. Thank you.

that is because phillip morris pays the office rent. and even they respect their shareholders.
if moderators were the only, or even the largest contributors to IV, they can do anything they want.
But when you delete posts by other contributing members, you aint gonna get much more funding, I can tell you that
IV has not asked for contributions in order to create forums where people can practise their first amendment rights or their "Shareholder" rights. The funds are for lobbying purposes. And they are being spent there.
If you contribute funds to this effort, you earn gratitude and respect but you dont earn the right to undermine the organization by posting nonsense and starting flame wars.
The forums are for intra-org communication and mutual help amongst members. In absence of moderation and censorship, these forums would become a shooting gallery where everyone would be shooting at everyone else. Just look thru last 10 months of threads in detail and you will see plenty of bickering. Such bickering makes this organization look bad...not the individuals who do it. Individuals are anonymous.
The image of this organization amongst the media people, the staffers etc who visit it must make this organization look like the kind that represents mature, highly skilled immigrants...not bickering teenagers.
The contributing members and the noncontributing members would like to see this organization have an image that makes it effective. If it means deleting offensive posts, then its what should be done. Moderators dont delete posts for kicks. Its not fun. Its not like the moderators love to delete and censor. Its done for a reason explained plenty of times on this thread.

My guess:
EB3 June 2004
EB2 June 2005
"Some amount of visa numbers were left due last moment corrections and rejection of certain immigrant cases. These cases were already assigned numbers as they were documentarily qualified applicants at that time. In order to generate the demand, the dates are being advanced using advanced calculus formulas. It uncertain at this point as to the coming months as the outcome of Maxwells theorem is uncertain":)
THAT would be extremely scary, as it again puts us in the EB3-Other-Workers category. Meaning they can arbitrarily choose to stop accepting new applications on say August 5th (or worse, pick up some random set (lottery!) of applications from what they have already received)

Finacial shortcomings is the major reason, we are fighting against this unfair system. That is one hurdle you will have to jump some how until USCIS and the companies we work for, decide to come to senses.
You are not alone in these sufferings. Sit down with your lawyer, and lay out a clean game plan. if you have to consult more than one lawyer, do it. Options are always there.
My company screwed me with my I 140 RFE. They screwed me with the appeal and I 485, and now they are screwing more money out of me for a fresh PERM file. They are even charging me for the news paper ads. my total contribution to this damn green card (which may never arrive) is now $9864 to date. And it is just going to grow.....
I am not saying this to make you feel bad or better. But I want you to know that you are not alone.......
I appreciate your selflessness that you don't want to put others in trouble. But I think the problem will be much severe if you don't take them to task. You might go thru this whole hell again and shell out $9000 more and still be applying for a ration card in your country rather than holding a green card here. And I am not asking to immediately go after him, but rather wait until you cross the river. If you have friends or collegues warn them about this ( And if you do this they will be the first ones to inform that to your employer) . This is your best chance to put your employer in trouble for clearly VIOLATING the LAW. Remember the earth is a sphere. If you don't act it now, it will come back and bite you some other day.
Good luck.

I had an InfoPass appointment to talk to an IO about my and my wife's I-485 application status since my PD will be current starting Aug. 1. This is what the IO told us.
My name name check is still pending (note that I filed on July 27, 2007 and completed the biometrics on Oct. 31, 2007).
IO at TSC is presently working on my wife's application but no one is working on mine.
Since I am the primary applicant, my wife's application will not be approved unless mine is approved.
Should we not hope to get our GCs in Aug. / Sep. this year?
Are we stuck?
Are they not supposed to hold the application if the name check is pending for more than 6 months?
Is there anything that we can do other than waiting for few months?
it appears there is a catch in this 180 day rule, they have a "timeline":
http://www.uscis.gov/files/article/NameCheck_2Apr08.pdf
The target milestones for processing name checks are:
Completion Goal Category
May 2008 Process all name checks pending more than three years
July 2008 Process all name checks pending more than two years
Nov. 2008 Process all name checks pending more than one year
Feb. 2009 Process all name checks pending more than 180 days
June 2009 Process 98 percent of all name checks within 30 days and process the
remaining two percent within 90 days.

All categories will show "D" in August Bulletin.
"D" is for "Depends".
It'll depend upon how USCIS Director is feeling that morning...
If he got a 50% bonus the day before, he'll accept all apps received that morn b/w 10AM-noon.
If he's having a cold, got cut in front while driving to work etc, all applications will surely be rejected.
If nothing special happens that day, all apps are very likely to be rejected anyway.
If DC Madam releases another page to press and this is the one including his number, all new apps will be rejected for another one year and all existing applications will be denied immediately. People will be informed by deportation officers showing at their doors the next morn.
:) :) This is so funny, I cannot stop laughing.

9 FAM 42.12 N2.3 Exceptions to General
Chargeability Rule
(TL:VISA-513; 01-23-2003)
Exceptions to the general rule of chargeability are set forth in 22 CFR
42.12(b), (c), (d), and (e). These exceptions are as follows:
(1) An accompanying or following-to-join spouse or child, for whom a
visa would not otherwise be available [see 9 FAM 42.12 N3];
(2) An alien born in the United States [see 9 FAM 42.12 N4]; or
(3) An alien born in a foreign state in which neither parent was born or
had residence at the alien's time of birth [see 9 FAM 42.12 N5].
As per 9 FAM 42.12 N3 Derivative Status for Spouse and Child
9 FAM 42.12 N5 APPLICANTS PLACE OF
BIRTH, NOT PARENTS' COUNTRY OF BIRTH
OR RESIDENCE
(TL:VISA-17; 11-21-1988)
a. If the consular officer has determined that, at the time of the child�s
birth, the parent or parents were stationed in such country under orders
or instructions of an employer, principal or superior authority whose
business or profession was foreign to that foreign state, the applicant
may be charged to the foreign state of either parent.
So, if I read the bold statements correctly, then a person whose Father or Mother was born in Pakistan or Bangladesh (earlier India, before 1947 partition of country), can use chargebility of Pakistan or Bangladesh.
its quite interesting and may not necessarily be valid. My father was born in dhaka before partition - his passport says - his place of birth is dhaka, india!!!
