The thing is it is kind of strange that they are working on Sundays to reopen cases.
I hope things work out for good for everyone.
In my wife's case it is just a soft LUD. She is not even using that H1-B anymore.

We filed I-140 on july 16th thru labour substitution. Expecting a receipt by july ending.Now I have a very serious concern regarding I-485 filing before Aug 17 2007, pls advice !!
My spouse is in india from August 17 2006 after already staying in US on H1B for 6 years.He's planning to come back here on dependant visa(L2) after 1 year out of country stay as he wants to reset his H1B clock (He plans to apply H1B in April 2008 quota).
If we want to apply for I-485 he needs to come here atleast by Aug 10 2007- to fulfill the medicals & sign the documents, to file by Aug 17th 2007 deadline. We are afraid to take chances this time, that if he just enters US before 1 year out of country stay, he may not be eligible for new H1B in 2008, if somthing happens to current filing.
Pls sincerely advice if he can still apply for H1B in April 2008, if he just missed 365 days out of country rule by 6 or 7 days (incase he comes back on Aug 10th 2007 for filing, he would fulfill 360 days out of country and not 365 as needed) ?
You do understand that he can only file for his visa in Apr 2008. The visa become valid only in Oct 2008 and he doesn't have to be in this country on the date of filing for H1-B. So why worry about 365 day count?

I received a letter from uscis/DHS on Jan 28.
It was in response to my request about my wifes I-485 being in namecheck for a long time.
The response stated:
"The review of our records indicate that the investigation into your background has been completed. The processing of your case has been delayed because the requirement review is still in process."
Does this mean that the namecheck has been completed?
What is "requirement review"?
Did anyone else get this type of letter?
Wifes Case dates:
PD - Jul 2003
Interview Date - Jan 4 2006
Type - Family based ( on marriage )
Info Pass - Sep 2007
Last FP - Oct 2007
LUD - 10/2007 ( probably because of FP )
Current Status:
On October 7, 2003, we received this I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS, and mailed you a notice describing how we will process your case.

Where did you get this info from? source?
140000 ( TOTAL GC ) - 35000 ( LAST YEAR EB1 ) = 105k - (40K) EB3 = 65k - ( 5k EB4 AND EB5 ) = 60k - 25k ( EB2 ROW ) = 35k.
Eb2 India has following pending cases ( Guess ) based on some data from senator and labor data.
10k = 2004
5k = 2005
18k = 2006
25k = 2007
China Eb2 has like below.
4k = 2005
7k = 2006
7k = 2007
So this year they will not just divide between india and china but india will get more share than china. So india will get 25k to reach Mid 2006 and China will get 10k to cover till 2006. or it can stay same as india.

This is my second renewal, first time did it online it was smooth! This time the online process seemed little different, they were asking for few info at a time and we got to click the continue button...I was just doing fine and was waiting that at some point it would show the complete application for me to review, but I got to the last page and said something like "Submit" or "Finish" and I did ...everything was ok got the confirmation....OOPS, left the date of last arrival blank! Had put the Port of arrival correct, but left the date blank!
How is this going to affect my EAD, anyone had similar experience ? In the confirmation, it had instructions that I will get notice for finger printing appt and other documents to be sent.
Really pissed off! Very bad mood today!
Can't the system check for missing information! Even mom & pop online services check for all information before accepting! Anyways, no excuse for me , I should have been careful!
Anyone who got a RFE for missing to information and how long it took after responding to the RFE, Please share your experiences!

USCIS Update
USCIS Announces Revised Processing Procedures for
Adjustment of Status Applications
WASHINGTON�U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) announced that,
beginning immediately, it will accept employment-based applications to adjust status (Form I-
485) filed by aliens whose priority dates are current under the July Visa Bulletin, No. 107.
USCIS will accept applications filed not later than August 17, 2007.
On July 2, 2007, USCIS announced that it would not accept any additional employment-based
applications to adjust status. USCIS made that announcement after receiving an update from the
Department of State that it would not authorize any additional employment-based visa numbers
for this fiscal year. After consulting with USCIS, the Department of State has advised that
Bulletin #107 (dated June 12) should be relied upon as the current July Visa Bulletin for
purposes of determining employment visa number availability, and that Visa Bulletin #108
(dated July 2) has been withdrawn.
�The public reaction to the July 2 announcement made it clear that the federal government�s
management of this process needs further review,� said Emilio Gonzalez, USCIS Director. �I
am committed to working with Congress and the State Department to implement a more efficient
system in line with public expectations.�
USCIS�s announcement today allows anyone who was eligible to apply under Visa Bulletin No.
107 a full month�s time to do so. Applications already properly filed with USCIS will also be
accepted. The current fee schedule will apply to all applications filed under Visa Bulletin No. 107
through August 17, 2007. (The new fee schedule that becomes effective on July 30, 2007, will
apply to all other applications filed on or after July 30, 2007).

Recent VB fiasco has put many of us in confusion and disappointment, but will not hold us back… Most of us must be now be moving on with what we have to do and try to get the best, we can with what we have and can and try to make things better for us.
We all have different advice from our attorneys; my attorney did not recommend sending the I-485 papers to USCIS now or did not provide any advice regarding to joining the lawsuit being discussed by AILA. Also my paper work is handled by the Immigration Attorney in my company legal department and not any external law firm.
Talked to couple of friends and some told, they still sent the AOS papers knowing it will be send back and some are in same situation like mine. . Created this poll just to get some sample data how many had files I-485

It is not as simple as that. PERM started only last year - march 2005 to be precise. Now imagine someone from India who has a pending LC app using the old system in EB3 in December 2004 - his application would most likely still be languishing in PBEC or DBEC. Optimisitically, assume he gets his labor approved in September 2007 (when DOL has promised to clear the backlogs) - Even assuming he gets his I-140 overnight, an end-of-2004 PD will certainly not be anywhere near current by the rate at which EB3 India dates are progressing, So that means another 4 - 6 years or so just to FILE 485. All this assuming his LC is approved - if LC gets turned down after waiting 3 years, he has to start over with a new 2007 PD !!
This is exactly the situation that one of my colleagues finds himself in.
So one temporary solution to all of this is the ability to file for I-140 and 485 even when labor is pending.
I have full sympathy for your colleague. That is a nightmarish situation.

As I see it, the 7% cap is nothing but a clear case of affirmative action on a global scale. Republicans would definitely support removing this cap if the debate was framed in this angle rather than to give relief to any particular country. Relief is to the business's in the US - the freedom for them to hire the best in the world not to forced in to affirmative action due to quotas in high skilled immigration.
without rising the current cap, increasing existing 7% limit will only lead to a worse retrogression in the ROW category.

Thanks for link. I do not see my friend's employer who is currently facing lawsuit by an employee. I ensured the same by verifying with her.
You need to be aware that there are state and federal laws. Usually complaints are filed with state DOL when employer did not pay salary or performed unlawful deduction. If employer violates H1B/GC laws, you can complain to federal DOL. The same story with filing complaint with the state court or federal court.

You should be thankful you are even able to file for 485. There are so many of us here who have waited 4+ YEARS (and still waiting) for just their labor cerification from BECs. Even assuming they get their I-140 approved overnight, they need to wait another 3-4 YEARS before they can even FILE 485. So compared to that 4-5 months processing time to approve I-140 is a rounding error .. dont mean to defend USCIS or trivialize your problem, just giving you some perspective of in the larger context of this huge EB mess.
I am really shocked to hear that. Why is it taking 4+ years to get a labor certification? I thought the PERM system solved this problem; I, of course, don't know much because my labor was approved via SHLC, and that takes 6 months.
Is this included in our demands? I mean the ability to file for 485 even when labor is not approved? Sounds like it should be.

He is in Favor of the bill so do not call him
And yes I gave Green all those who got Red dots for motivating people :)
I believe people not in favor should be called first but also call people in favor. Sometime few calls from antis can force them changing their view.

It's mandatory to file AR11. best part is, it takes less than 2 min to file it online.
Here is the Link to do it online:
https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=coa
1. For the A# in the form, Should I leave it blank?
I left it blank, as I do not have a A# I'm on H1-B. Read the FAQ here:
http://www.nriol.com/immigration/usa-immigration-faq.asp
2. I wrote down the address where I go to "Work" everyday.
3. One more thing that you'll need to know: On the Next screen where you click the "Update", You will be presented with:"Yes, I have a pending application with USCIS and "No, I do not have a pending application.
Here I selected : "No", Since my H1B and 140 are already approved and I did not file for AOS, yet. So, in that sense, I do not have a pending application with USCIS. if you've filed for AOS, then obviously you;d select "Yes".( Sorry, I don't know what happens, if you select "yes")
Hope this helps!
I came to US 10 years ago and moved three times. Never filed AR-11 or change of address with USCIS. Filed for 485 in 2007 July with the latest address.
Will the failure to file AR-11 have any adverse impact on my 485? Should I send in an AR-11 now for the last change of address even though it's late by 2 yrs? I'm very much confused.
If I file the AR-11 now. couple of questions.
1. For the A# in the form, Should I leave it blank?
2. For the section "I work for or attend school at : (Employer name or name of School)"
I will give the employer name. But in address do I give their address or the clients address where I work, My employer is in Texas whereas I'm at the client location in East coast.
Please help...Thank you in advance.
