Anyone has update on AILA's class action regarding audit delay cases?
internet, I also agree with your opinion. What I am concerned is not affecting my case by DOL but any blames from my HR if they come to know. This might be my own problem and I will get over it.
I will write the letter with or without case number.

you cannot take one guy's response and generalize.
Majority of EB2 members understand the problems faced by EB3. They are willing to work together. However it must be something better than the status quo.
The strategies and solution presented must benefit vast majority of people rather than one specific group.
I am totally against any effort that undermines one group and favor's other.
Visa recapture is the only permanent solution to our problems.
Would like to thank the one that left me a red with comments "thanks for your words of wisdom, but no thanks. pls stay away from this thread unless u hv something +ve to contribute. "
I suppose your anger towards me is for the fact that I am an EB2 and not for what I am proposing.
What bothers me is giving reds has become quite common to make one shutup rather than engaging in a civil Q&A discussion.
Good luck to y'all +ve contributors

Very good reference. I think we need to include this in our agenda for the phase 2 campaign.
You have rasied very valid point and Canada credit 50% of the time before getting PR there. But I don't think this is so easy to get due to chain migration fear.

Here is Ron's reply for the questions/concern
Hi Ron,
Tons of thanks for your time and this letter. Though most of the case are pending with Atlanta, there are few people struck with chicago as well. But the number is very small compared to atlanta. This template sounds very good to me, I will post the same at IV and let you know the feed back. Also I will direct the folks struck in chicago to you, they can hire you if they want you to represent them or I will ask them how do they want to proceed.
If we give the case number and employer name, would there be any impact/side effect ?
I will keep you posted and thanks a lot for your time
===========================
Reply from Ron:
All of the Chicago cases have been transferred to Atlanta. If the Chicago guys want to talk to me, I�m happy to do so. They don�t have to hire me if all they want is information. As for putting names and case numbers, without that information, they won�t take the letter seriously. Also, I think that this will get the DOL to move on those cases. Almost every time I have made a specific complaint, they have responded by resolving the case right away in order to make the whole thing go away. It wouldn�t surprise me to see the same thing here.

My husband's I-140 will be approved in few days and our PD is current right now. Once the I-140 is approved we are planning to file for I-485 the sooner possible. The main reason is for me to apply or EAD so that I could work. You should also consider that I am travelling on July/august and of course I will require a visa appointment at the consulate to stamp my H-4.
My questions are:
1- Is it safe to apply (once the I-140 is approved) before leaving U.S. For I-485 and EAD together?
2- What documents are required to file for EAD besides what is already being sent with the I-485?
3- What are the potential problems in leaving the country in July with an I-485 (with or without EAD, please tell me in both cases) submitted, and having a visa appointment at the consulate abroad in August to renew my h4 that expires in NOv 2007? Should I wait and apply for I-485 or EAD until Sept 2007?
In short: Could anyone please advise regarding the risks of filing in June the I-485, travel in July, have a consulate appointment abroad in August to stamp the H-4 visa that expires in Nov 2007 ? Should I wait until I come back? Much appreciated any replies.

Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
Dude life is not fair accept it! :)

USCIS does not differentiate US or Indian degrees.. Yes US degree has its own advantages... It more than just LEARNING...
Education is a bigger word than learning... Institutions can impart learning only... You can be highly learned with big degrees... still not educated :-)
Take a chill pill friends... Degree is important to USCIS like MPG (miles per gallon) to Car.. as its a basis to compare different entities :-)
AFAIK the H1 Masters quota of 20K is open to just U.S. Masters degrees, not even PHDs from Indian universities qualify for it.
however for EB2 for instance they dont care where you get your masters, so its a mixed bag. Basically USCIS follows the law, and its upto the lawmakers to decide the nitty-gritty of a particular law.

Thanks - I guess that's good advice.
Btw, do I need to send the original passport with the application?
Yes, you will need to send the original passport along with the filled in application...Since the passport is expired for over an year, check this out:
Quote:
When should you apply for the new passport?
i) Apply for reissue of Passport if the final (F) validity is less than one year. For example, if your passport is expiring on 31st Dec. 2008, you can apply for a new passport from 1st Jan. 2008 onwards.
ii) The Passport should be renewed within one year of its expiry. If for any reason you have delayed applying for a new passport beyond one year after expiry of your passport, an affidavit stating the reason for delay sworn before a Notary or a Consular Officer should be submitted along with the application.

For 485, proof of valid status in US is required - Valid status in the US is determined by i94. u need not have a valid visa stamp. Note that I485 can only be filed if u are in the US.

Lasantha, I do congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. It has been a uphill journey for everyone. I am happy that you have completed your journey successfully.
One last question,
You mentioned your RD is June 29th. Is it the date from your FEDEX tracking #? Or this date is mentioned on your USCIS 485 receipt? Why am I asking this as because, I sent my application on 30th July, USCIS got it on JULY 31st. I sent it to NSC, USCIS transferred to TSC, TSC issued my EAD, AP and a 485 notice on Sep 22 mentioning that they are transferring my case to NSC. That is why it is very important for me to know if they will consider my JULY 31st date or Sep 22nd?
Friends,
I have some happy news. I received the welcome email today. I am so so so happy!!! I haven't received the card ordered email yet but hopefully I will get it soon.

I opened the SR yesterday. I still have 40 or so days but the Rep said they take atleast 10 days to decide and if you want to open that should be fine.
I hope this helps.
I talked to SR and he said that unless I have crossed 90 days , he can not open SR for 765 application. How did you convince him to open the SR for you ?

I truly believe, though IV's efforts can impact a little bit, they have to join other organizations to strengthen the efforts and results.
As I said before, IV should step up for EB3-I/C/ROW cause since policies seem to be working in favor of other EBs (which is good) but EB3 is stuck..
Here are some paths to consider.
1. IV has established relationships with some key politicians through the advocacy days, may be that channel can work
or
2. Allow interfiling with spouse
or
3. Allow folks to file I-485 for an approved I-140 even if the dates are not current
or
4. Have an endless EAD and AP (by endless I mean 5 years)
or
5. Recapture (Tie it to a bill...eg Zoe Lofgren or Feigngold will not sign Finance reform bill unless lost EB visas are recaptured). It will help EB2 folks as well. Give Feingold a call, he is voting no on Finance reform. May be he can kick in something for legal EB folks (similar to cornhusker) and may vote Yes and be the 60th vote.
What I suggest you guys to do is build upon these ideas above rather than destroy it or be sarcastic about it.
