The online status that we see currently on USCIS website can be improved to a great extent. $$$ spent to improve the system will be recouped in few years with savings elsewhere.
Current status: The two primary ways the USCIS connects with its customers are USCIS online case status and monthly processing time update. They both are expense free unlike a CS agent that handles the call and needs to be paid. But those two primary methods are a butt of all jokes and useless in its current form.
Objective: Improve the quality of USCIS online status by integrating it with monthly processing time update. Any case which is beyond processing time frame should get atleast one qualitative and progressive update every month. Institute a system to track the lifecycle of a case. The lifecycle starts from entry of a petition/application into USCIS system and ends with either approval/denial.
Pros:
1> provides a great deal of transparency to the system. Due to the improved transparency, efficiency becomes a part of the process.
2> Reduce the traffic in USCIS phone lines thereby reliving $$$ from customer service.
3> Reduce Infopass appointments thereby relieving maintenance $$$ from that system.
Officers who deal with Infopass can spend their time productively.
4> Reduce SR. Saves Immigrants $$$ and relieves USCIS resources who are handling SR request.
5> This improvement is not temporary and will keep yielding rewards as long as the USCIS is in the business of receiving/processing/adjudicating immigration petitions.
Cons:
1> USCIS needs to shell out a good $$$$ to tighten up their IT system, gather info from systems, integrate the online reporting tool with their monthly processing time update.

I received an email today from USCIS requesting additional information on my case. My wife received identical email like I did.
Please let me know
1. How many days does it take for USCIS to send the letter.
2. How many days does it take for USCIS to look into my case again once I send the evidence requested.
Did anyone receive similar evidence requests. What evidence do they possibly need in this phase....
Appreciate your help and thanks in advance. Following is the email....
On May 16, 2011, we mailed a notice requesting additional evidence or information in this case I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS. Please follow the instructions on the notice to submit the requested information. This case will be in suspense until we receive the evidence or the opportunity to submit it expires. Once we receive the requested evidence or information and make a decision on the case, you will be notified by mail. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.

The notice will explain where to send the evidence and will give the deadline for your response. Your application or petition will be held in suspense during that time. If you receive a request for evidence and have questions about what you need to submit, you may call our National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

I did not write this bill. You should go to challenge Rep. Issa for that clause. In my previous post, I already said I am perfectly OK if the IV core want to modify the bill, so that the 55K can be applied to everyone. Is that very clear?
My friend there is no need for you to get antoganized with me because what i said in my previous post is more a message to everyone on this forum and is not anything personal against you. In fact i am surpirsed that you are even discussing opening up teh 55K to everyone.
I know you did not write this bill (Would have been nice if you did because you listen to the other persons argument which is sadly lacking in this forum from a long time)
There is no way we can challenge Rep Issa on this clause. We are just individuals. Yes a forum like IV can but question is will IV core do that? And the fact that you are perfectly OK with IV Core modifying the bill only shows good intention on your side but sorry to say this (You would be very naive to think IV Core will entertain such ideas)
Lets just say if IV Core does what you had proposed it will show maturity of thinking of of the group and i for one will be pleasently surprised. Not to say i am waiting with bated breath for that to happen. Call me cynical but thats the way i have seen things happen here

I agree with all your options, but have to add one one more option.
Option 4: Get DOS to do the spill over allocation on a quarterly basis.
Lets not get sidetracked by Mr Skillz with a Z.
Options for EB3I relief:
Option 1: CIR - This is not in the picture right now. Nobody knows when this is going to happen and I think we should not even bother to look upon this as a short term measure.
Option 2:Recapture of visas - Again this has to go through the legislative process. With the current political climate, it is going to take a tough task to get this one in as well.
Option 3:Re-intepreting and changing the spill over rule: This can be done without any legislative changes and USCIS can be asked to look on this if we can really force them to.
Steps to execute Option 3:
* Collect and consolidate all the data in a spreadsheet from the latest 485 inventory to the yearly reports of adjudicated cases
* Create a what if analysis for the next 3-5 years for EB2 I and EB3 I
* Create analysis to show what will happen with the old rule and changed interpretation of spill over
* Create a nice presentation
* Contact Senators, congressmen, USCIS and walk them through our presentation
Hopefully that can change their mind or atleast we gave our best shot.
Add your thoughts and inputs and let us create a plan on executing this, if folks want to do it.

No. It was changed in the middle of 2008. The DOS consulted with the Congress on this and came to the conclusion that there should be horizontal spillover before vertical. I don't want to go into whether this was right or wrong, fair or not. This is the current policy.
You can see ample evidence in the annual visa allocation once you compare 2005/2006/2007/2008 allocations. EB3-ROW and EB3-ICMP benefited till 2007 because of vertical spillover and EB2-I & EB2-C have been the beneficiaries of the horizontal spillover policy since 2008.
I think spillover method has not been changed since years. The only puzzle is that whether it is horizontal or vertical or combination of both that USCIS works with we exactly do not know.
Do you guys agree ?
In my opinion equal share of spillover count to oversubscribed EB categories for a particular year would be the final and legitimate solution.

Going by the discussions over there (http://www.dailykos.com/storyonly/2007/6/18/22435/0365), my gut feeling is all PERM cases will be reviewed, in one form or other.

not a bad idea. Only that those who came here on an F-1 will need to get an F4 (something like a dual-intent work visa) after graduation. those of us who came here on F-1 and worked hard for GREs and through grad school did it only because we wanted to settle down here.
See, if you had immigrant intent, the F1 should have been denied. There should be no dual intent for any work visa whether F4 or H1 or L1, period. If the worker is supposed to be in a permanent job, only option should be to get a green card. The current system has encouraged a bad habit of pretending that permanent workers are really temporary workers who would eventually go back.

I decided to join you as a monthly Donor today.
It looks like your organization is the only one doing anything concrete to help legal immigrants. I had trouble finding support on other immigration sites.
This is request to other members and forum browsers, guests to also support their effort.
The recession has been tough, but if I had to choose, my immigration is more important to me than cable TV.

My Attorney has sent in more than 2 inquiries with DOL and each time we get the same boilerplate reply saying you are in queue and we are processing it. This is an automated reply as few of my friends even got the same reply with no change except case number.
Also as for as i know there is no time limit as such as 4 months to wait before contacting DOL.

Not sure how this two application thing work, but doesn't this kind of situation trigger unncessary confusion with finger printing etc.?
As far as I know, when USCIS collect the Finger Prints everything will be in the same database and the name check, back ground check etc. starts from there. If you apply two applications then you will get notifications twice? Unnecessary risks and confusions, if I were you..I wouldn't do this.
USCIS is so unpredictable, what if they do back ground check twice and create some weird confusion or one of you get stuck unnecessarily? This is a very confusing scenario. Talk to your attorney.

This will goto house senate conference where house dems want to strip all the immigration provisions (bad news for us) from this minimum wage bill. The key is for the conference to agree on keeping the agJobs bill which will keep these increased numbers.

I guess the important thing is not to lose hope. Easier said than done. Hopefully your service request does the trick for you. How did u go about opening the request? I am in the same boat - checking status every 2 minutes :)
Seems some of us are destined to wait longer..called USCIS and got a service request requested. Not sure,at this point what else can be done (apart from checking case status daily i.e)

Sussie,
Your letter nor the proposed drft amendment to CSPA does not talk about the children of parents who applied their GC under employment based category and got stuck in the Labor Card approval stage for years and when labor got approved and I140 also got approved then again stuck due to Visa retrogression. We must include injustice being done to these children and should ask for retrospective amendment to CSPA to provide relief.
If you are in Illinois are you near enough to try and meet with Richard Durbin, he professes to caring about the children of illegal immigrants. Maybe he needs to put a face to a situation of the forgotten children of legal employment based adjustees to push him into realizing they even exist and he does them an injustice with his DREAM act.
I am a parent of an aged out child. It sucks, quite frankly. Never sure what to say to him when this issue is discussed. I would be happy to become more active on this issue.
How many of us are on this site, does anyone know. Each of us trying to work individually is not going to be as effective as a joint effort.
