joining the club...
my I-485 was nicely pending @ TSC, and the company just sent H1 papers off to VSC for processing, so I can come back on H1. I am currently sitting in London (working for my GC employer from their UK office), when I got the Card Production E-mail. My previous H1 approval expired in March.
My EAD will expire next month, as well as AP. So, here is the rub, they will not let me come back to US on AP since system shows GC approved, H1 will be rejected since GC is approved.
needless to say PD is not current. I kind of remember having an approved RIR Labor with PD June 2004, but I dont remember having sent for I-140...No idea what to do and how to check that.
Dont trust company's lawyer, and I sent all I-485 papers by myself back in July 2007. I have an attorney that I bug from time to time but he is on vacation now...
So... am I completely screwed...?
My employer transfered me from US to UK couple of months ago, now they are transfering me back. I did go for H1 stamping in Dec here in London and IO said something like, my GC is taking too long, he will check why I dont already have it..
Just venting here, no clue whom to talk to next....
Any suggestions are welcome...

Pappu,
I have helped in some other initiatives, but not donated money primarily because I was disgusted with some folks calling non-donors as free loaders. Anyway, since it is needed for our cause and our voice at this moment, I have donated $50. First time ever! Do keep up the good work that you guys always excelled at!
Thank you very much av2004 and axp817

Dear All,
All the infigting and ranting we do, only creates a lot of negative energy and negative vibrations. People will continue to do what is right for them and normally try to be in the right side of the law. There is no point discussing about this.
Let us all be clear that within the next year, despite the spillover, both EB2 and EB3 will get absolutley clogged - I expect EB2 and EB3 nos to become more or less equal and clogged. This situation is not going to benefit anyone.
The only possible thing is to try sincerely for some legislative relief, unitedly. Everyone knows that it is like moving a mountain. I spoke to many friends about IV efforts and tried my best sincerely to raise money for advocacy. It was a futile exercise. I felt so sad to realize that everyone I spoke to, was cynical and said that nothing would work out in our favour. Under such circumstances, it is essential that the very few who are committed to work stay united and sincerely try! For most of us with grown up children, this is the only way! Like it or not!
Why cannot all of us atleast make a small contribution for the advocacy? What is the problem?
Again, as a person who is seriously stuck in this mess with children on the verge of completing high school, I have very little options left. Most of the good colleges are NOT willing to consider "aliens" like us eligible for instate (local) tuition. Did anyone think of this? All of us will have to pay international fees! Who can pay $ 50000 per annum? Under the circumstances, please note that many of us will have to return to India or atleast move our families! I wrote a letter to my Senator about this and I got a response saying that he cannot do anything about it. Please think about all the consequences before wasting time on endless EB2 - EB3 fights!
I also want to repeat what I had said a few months back. No immigration system that is not time bound is fair or transparent. With all the sincerity at my command (I have nothing to gain in the process) I would request youngsters in their early and mid 30s to seriously consider options in other "First World" countries which have time bound immigration programmes for highly qualified immigrants. It is an endless wait here.Do you want to spend the next 10+ staring at the visa bulletin very month? . I do not want my junior countrymen to commit the mistake of sinking in this quagmire. With due respect to all the hard work of gurus like Teddy and others, I still feel that it would take about 12 - 15 years for anyone of us waiting beyond Jan 2007 (though I do not wish for it). What would be the state of the economy then? Any thoughts?
High time we stay focused and use this forum in a positive way!
May the SUPREME POWER bless the Indian EB community!
What is the guarantee that spillover will happen. I agree with your post. we all are stuck in this mess. sometimes i feel that , Coming to USA was a bad decision for me.. now its too late after spending 10+ years here.

My pledge,
As soon as $10k is reached, I will contribute, $50.
When $13k is reached, I will contribute another $50.
And when $20k is reached, I will contribute another $50.
This, of course, is in addition to the recurring contributions that I already make.
Everyone, please take initiative in this effort.
We spend thousands of dollars and years waiting for our green cards, why is it so hard to realize that this is only to help ourselves?.
These contributions are more or at least as important as our car payments, mortgage, or educational loans. This effort will only ensure (by giving us our well deserved GCs) that we can stay here on a permanent basis and not have to be sent back home (or is it really home?, for so many of us who have spent close to a decade or longer, here) at the slightest disturbance in the economy.
I hope you will make the right decision.
Thanks and regards,
Oh, and can someone please PM me when these targets are reached (just in case I forget to check this thread) so I can make the pledge I promised to make.

Here my 2 cents. Whether EB3 will move forward or not if you are in EB3 you are not in a position to chose. You have only two choices either be in USA or leave. If you decide to stay there is not harm promoting for these new immigration legislations. Even though it may have slightest chance, you have nothing to loose supporting it and working for it. In case it succeeds, you will get your green card much faster than normal process.

USCIS has absolutely no info about labor till the employer files a I-140 with a certified copy of LC. I would seriously doubt if that's the case, unless your old employer filed the I-140 using the 2004 labor and the I-140 was approved.
For your own good, you should get things corrected....the short term excitement may lead to more trouble later...just my 2 cents.
No its I-485 I just cut and pasted the two emails I received, first at 10am then the second at 3 pm check online and the system had same messages. If its true I am having a party wow man thanks I did come to US in 1997. I do have a labor which was approved under RIR PD date 2004 but the employer refused to file I-140. Then again filed PERM in 2007 under EB2 and filed I-140/I-485 based on this PERM

Hi Prince Charming,
I have made a post. Please confirm if yours was exactly the same case " subsitution"--leading to 2 applicants seeking same labor and me being left with no I140 since previous employer revoked.
Based on your post, I am hopeful that my MTR gets accepted too. Could you answer the other questions I have raised that relate to post-MTR phase.

Emails and online statuses were the standard Welcome Notice.
"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 "
another email
"we mailed you a notice that we have approved this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS"
The statuses went back and forth a couple of times between "Decision" , "Post Decition" and "Card production"

I agree , especially if it fits majority of them ( and the 'types' of them ).
One needs real diversity in US population. There are too many here from EU.
It's really meaningless for you to keep talking about "too many here from EU". This country is formed by those people from EU(and American Indians) to start with. If you were here two hundred years ago, you were part of them, no one will ask you for GC. Those people who came to this land two hundred years ago and their descendants are now recognized as Americans. They are no longer English, German, French, Italian...etc. They are Americans and this is their country which is called United State of America.
When this country starts the immigration law, does the law say only people from Asia is limited to 7% and not for people from EU ?
If this country today has no limitation with immigration and welcome anyone to come and stay forever at any time. This country will not be a great country anymore and I am sure many of you will not care to come to this land anymore but seek for another place.

Don't take me the wrong way, these guys sure are very nice, but just because he filed in July without a receipt does NOT mean anything. It's not like his 485 has been approved, and even if it had, that doesn't mean anything either.
Remember we are dealing with some contractors in the mail room, and without official guidance from USCIS in the form of a field notice, each employee in the mail room could make his arbitrary decisions.
So, i wouldn't delude myself based on what someone in IV core has done. It MAY sound logical to include the copy of 140 but then as you probably know by know, logic does not apply here :D

" WILL NOT REDUCE BACKLOGS"
" MORE OVER WAIT AND WATCH SAYS IT JUST LIES ON THE TABLE"
Reallocation of Immigrant Visa Numbers
Immigrant visa quotas would be substantially realigned under S. 1348. Our current law provides for a baseline annual quota of 140,000 immigrant visas for foreign nationals immigrating on the basis of employment. In the past several years, a backlog has developed in several employment-based immigrant categories, with multiyear waits for some prospective immigrant workers. The Senate bill would, in the first five years after enactment, increase the quota for merit-based and employment-based cases, in part to address existing backlogs. An estimated 247,000 numbers would be available for work-related immigration. Beginning in the sixth fiscal year after enactment, however, the quota would drop to 140,000 numbers per year. This level would remain in place for at least two years, until approximately the eighth year after enactment, when the quota would rise to a baseline of 380,000 per year, with additional numbers made available for previously undocumented immigrants who become eligible to apply for permanent residence.
The bill would also realign quotas for family-sponsored immigrants. Visa quotas for family-based immigration are currently set at a baseline of 480,000 per year and are subject to very lengthy backlogs, ranging from five to upwards of 20 years for some family categories. The Senate bill would initially increase visa numbers by more than 100,000 per year in order to reduce the family backlog; however, after the conclusion of backlog reduction efforts, the family-based quota would fall to 127,000 per year.

I heard Nancy say she would get started with some legislation that both parties and president agrees and she mentioned CIR. I think, if the republicans are smart they will quickly pass a version of it that they still can control - during the lame duck session when the old house returns for a few days.
But the biggest new problem will be suedo retrogression due to bottlenecks at Service centers! so near yet so far!

I had been there in US for 7 yrs (3 yrs in L2->1yr out of US->4 Yrs in H1B). Saw the myths and tragedy of US GC process very closely. Didn't want to spoil peace of life and my hard earned money with USCIS and lawyers:mad:. Didn�t look at the US GC application and applied for Canadian PR. Came to Canada with PR last year from US. Peacefully settled in Toronto with nice job and benefits, bought my brand new car 4 months back. Nice and friendly people and government. Happy to be in Canada. No more stamping issues, tons of junk paper works, consulate visit PA and wired look from immigration officers at POE�. enough�. I am not going back to US even for a visit in next 5 yrs..�
But I can go out of Canada and enter any time and as many time as I want. Can you do that too???? :D
To those who are portraying wrong picture of Canada, all I can say, if you have skills, personality and capability, you�ll succeed anywhere in this world, be it in US, Canada or Australia. Don�t blame it on a country, but look at yourself.
Just my 2 cents.
Hello PAL, You are 100% right - here is my full support to your argument !!
