FYI - last year I was current on August 1st and got my green card email on August 30th. There were plenty of people who did not get it that month and got it following month.
If I were you, I would what ever you think helps your case but looking at how things happend last year, I really dont think anything helped. But I did talk to my congressman and also created SR. I think, if you search for threads titled August 2010 approvals etc you will find everyone went through what you are all going through now.

I am in similar situation,
But my wife will not be having a valid visa while returning and she will not have her AP before leaving US.?
I would mail the AP once it is approved and can she come back with AP?
If she doesn't have AP approved or H4 visa stamp, her 485 application could be treated as abandoned when she leaves US.

How about we send congratulation letter to President-Elect Obama. This should go as a combined effort from the whole IV community. Any thoughts???
Dear President-Elect Obama,
Legal Immigrant Community in USA would like to congratulate you on your impressive campaign and win. We wish you all the best for your presidency tenure and promise to provide you our support and in many manner we can.
We would also like to take this opportunity to bring your attention to some common problems which legal immigrants are currently facing.
1. Quota system for countries resulting in wait period for Greencard ranging from 5-15 years for both Employment based and Family based categories.
2. Extreme dependency on employer because of unclear 'Same or similar job change regulations'. We cannot accept promotions, salary increases or any job title or location changes in order to not lose the status on current pending Greendcard application.
3. In this current economy, many legal immigrants are losing their jobs resulting in changing employers for which they have to go to the end of the line again and start the GC process all over again if the job title or salary is much differnet from the original one.
We understand that USA is currently facing more pressing issues at this time which need your imminent attention but few simple reliefs from your administration will make the lives of immigrants much better here. As a result, they will contribute more towards the economy, buy houses, invest and establish new businesses.
Suggestions for relief to immigrant community:
1. Approve pending bill HR5882 which captures wasted Green card numbers from the past due to bureacracy delays.
2. Remove Same or Similar job requirements for Green card applicants waiting for more than 1 year in their I-485( Last stage of GreenCard). They should be allowed to join any employer with any title or salary changes.
3. Allow pending I-485 applicants to join schools full time without affecting their Greencard applications.
4. Allow pending I-485 applicants waiting for more than 2 years on their last stage of greencard to establish businesses.
5. Allow temp visas for family members who are stuck in lines for Family based immigration.
Few simple changes as stated above will bring imminent relief to legal immigrant community. Many of us want to buy homes, start businesses, go to school full time but cannot do so till we become permanent residents. Wait periods are so long that we are stuck with the same employers with stalled career growth.
We expect that you will consider the above ideas and bring the change that all the people are hoping from years who are stuck in legal limbo.
Thank you
Your supporters

I did quick search on this website and notice nothing about infopass experience at Detroit, MI office ( ... I am sure someone smarty pants is going to say I didn't search hard enough), anyway I wanted to share my expereience, so started this thread.
I have apointment tommorow, and will share what happened ( or didn't). If you had been already thru this, please feel free to share pointers.
Regards and Peace!
I had info pass at detroit office last year regarding my EAD application. They were of no help, they called just in few minutes but it was of no help guy was really rude and he did not want to see any documents which i wanted to show him. so it was of no use. than i went to Senator Levin's office and they were of real good help they followed up on my case and i got my approval in couple of days.
anyways
good luck for your meeting.

I'm trying to figure out the reasoning behind Mexico's numbers as well. According to the latest cut-off date tables http://www.travel.state.gov/pdf/EmploymentDemandUsedForCutOffDates.pdf
Mexico has about 5,800 folks total for EB-3 in the queue so far, but we have seen very little movement in the past years. My questions to the forum:
1) Is the slow movement due to so many cases in field offices not yet reported?
2) Do family-based numbers take away from the 7% of 140K visas a year or are these solely for EB?
3) Any idea why movement is so slow for Mexico given the numbers of people currently in the queue?
Theories are welcome.

This is absolutely no-sense at all.
Texas, take about 2-3 months to approve 140 and 485. While Nebraska take about 4-5 months to approve only 140. This is not included 485 that back up from December 2, 2005.
You compare about 2-3 month processing time from one Center and another 1 year from another service center.
People there don't know how to do the mathematic or what, why keep sending everything to Nebraska still. Why don't transfer from the last person in Nebraska to Texas and have Texas start processing 485 in Queued.
We don't want people get process by Luck! or by paying more money and left other people behind.
What you think?!
Guys at Nebraska:
Don't complain; I am at Vermont, and it is by far the SLOWEST :(
It is processing I-485 from ND of June 21 2005 now!!!! Nebraska is processing I-485 of Nov 2005.
Does anybody have predictions :) for how dates will move at Vermont?
I wish there was premium procesing for 485.

Same here. All filed at NSC. Filed for EAD and AP on Aug 10th. Checks got cleared on Aug 24th. But did not get the reciept notice yet. Why is it taking so long a time to get the REceipt notices for EAD/AP, where my checks were cleared a couple of weeks ago.
Filed for 485 on July 18th, checks not cleared yet. Already my LC that was filed in July-2002 was denied due to the careless mistake of the attorney/employer. So, Keeping my fingers crossed.
BTW: Do, you know what # should I dial to contact USCIS to get info on I485/EAD/AP.
Thanks.

Hi Jerrome,
You should receive it in 3-4 days max. We got it in 2 days. Please ask them to recheck, or call USCIS 1-800 number or even better conduct INFOPASS where they can even resend the RFE to another address if necessary.
Generally how many days it takes to get the actual RFE in hand.

It will not have much impact if any president comes in the case of immigration. Anyhow most of them are not going to Veto. It is the congress who plays important role. President can just initiate the process. Bush tried his best to pass some immigration reform but divided congress defeated all the bills. Who is the reason? Not just anti immigrants but also pro immigrant groups. Expectation from pro immigrants was too much and in some cases impractical. Anti immigrants used those and defeated every time. Also anti immigrants used division in various groups like legal vs illegal, high skilled vs low skilled and H1 vs green card. Some unbiased leader need to bring a bill which should work compromise at the same time that compromise should benefit all the groups. But unfortunately most congressmen are busy in other works. Next congress is critical for any immigration reform

Well, I won't blame you guys for your decision if things do not work out. I know that it is very difficult to predict , I am going to go with EB2 06 .Just wanted to know what you would do if you were in my shoes.
If I am you I would go with EB3 I140 and once it gets approve get a copy
of approval and wait until Eb2 date crosses 2004 and find a desi consultant
file labour under Eb2 and file I140 port my PD to EB2 .After filing 485 you
can join desi company at that time.

I am not a lawyer, but this is what I can tell (as far as I know):
1. You will get 3 yrs extension of H1B for company B as long as your 140 is not revoked by employer A at the time of adjudication of H1B AND your PD is retrogressed.
2. If company A revokes 140 AFTER your H1B with company B is approved, this will not affect your H visa/status. what I dont know is: will this create any problems in getting a VISA stamped at the consulate in future or not.
3. Once your 140 is approved, PD is urs. No matter what happens to the original I 140, as long as you save a copy of approval notice, you can port the PD any time in future.
4. As you have not filed 485 yet, you are not eligible for AC21. So, once you go to company B (and company A is not ready to co-operate and/or revokes 140); you will have to start your GC process from scratch (new PERM and new 140). However, PD will be urs forever!
Good Luck.
I just went through a job change with an approved I-140 and can tell you that whatever kodur_007 has stated is true from personal experience.
Its a rather big pain though but that's the fate of an immigrant(specially I or C) in the US.

if you are within 6 years of your H1 change jobs ASAP, you need a supportive employer at many stages in the GC process. As it is the ride is wild and painful, if your employer is also acting smart it can be horrible for you. Jump to a better employer (even if you take say a 10% hit in pay) and restart GC asap.

If one is in their say 5th or 6th yr of H1 and has an Approved I-140 (copy) from a company A, does that mean:
1. that he can transfer his H1b to a company B and get 3 yr ext.
2. Again in the 8th or 9th year, can he move to another company C and get a 3 ext (upto 12th year).
So can one get infinite 3 yr extenstions just because once upon a time he/she had an approved I 140 from one of his ex-employers (and not his immediate previous emplyer). :)

Dear Sir/Ma'am,
I am currently in the last stage of greencard. My I-140 has been approved and I have done biometrics code 3.
I am applying for an immigrant visa via employment-based; EB2.
I recently got an RFE for my I-485 application. The request is to submit evidences of my non-immigrant status ever since I came back to the US from my out-of-country vacation on December 1999. Some of the evidences requested include the copies of my I-20s.
I attended 4 different schools; hence I should have four I-20s. I cannot find any of them.
And since I attended these schools more than 5 years ago, they could not provide me with a copy of my I-20s since they have been purged.
The question is:
1. What is the alternative that I have?
2. My attorney suggested that I obtain official transcripts from each schools, as well as a note from them explaining that my I-20s has been purged and are unobtainable.
Do you think these will be sufficient?
3. When an applicant got RFEd for his/her I-485 application, what is the typical period of time until the answer is given? My case is processed in TSC.
Thank for the input.
Warm regards...

It is a great achievement. Congrats to the core team and all the volunteers who contributed. There is a Tamil proverb meaning, "little rain droplets make a huge river". Each of our small contribution would definitely give us financial strength to put forth our case with the US congress & Government.
let us keep the spirit.
For the past one week I posted more then 50 fliers in many of the apartment communities in my neighborhood and also sent lot of emails to friends and groups & forums in my company.
I did receive few disappointing comments on our effort but ignored and continuing my effort.
Cheers,
Nandakumar
