I think this must be publicised somehow.
Firstly, it would be tragic if the employers are alegally llowed to discriminate against AOS applicant with EAD cards. Hopefully, it is not allowed under the law.
And in that case, it should be publicised and brought up that it is illegal.
I disagree with your conclusion. The employer has the right to prefer US Citizens over another individual only if the two individuals are equally qualified. For the cases mentioned in this thread, employers have flatly refused to consider anybody on EAD. So the clause of preference to US citizens does not apply.
If you read up on section 1160 (a) or 1255a (a)(1) you will find that it includes people who have filed for AOS. It is my understanding that an EB immigrant with AOS pending is included in the "alien lawfully admitted for temporary residence under section 1160 (a) or 1255a (a)(1)" category. I am not a lawyer and could be wrong but this is my interpretation. If you are on H-1B, this does not apply. But if you have EAD and AOS pending this should apply. There is no way for an employer to distinguish between an EB immigrant with EAD and AOS pending v/s a FB immigrant with EAD and AOS pending.

By Mr. Cannon:
"NNCPS is partnering with other Agencies to provide contractors and personnel to process name checks. For example, the FBI and USCIS have implemented a key initiative to use contractor resources to prioritize the processing of "Single-Hit" USClS Name Check requests, that is, pending name check requests that have only one FBI file potentially identified with it that needs to be reviewed in order to process the request. By applying contractor resources to process these "Single Hit" requests, the FBI may significantly reduce the pending USClS name check workload."
Declaration of M. Cannon filed in one of the civil cases in Northern GA, dated October 4th, 2007. To know for sure you have to have a pending lawsuit and send a discovery request to district US Attorney.
First of all, lazycis, thank you for all the great information on the immigration portal WOM thread and now on the IV forums. The community owes you.

Just a couple of comments about Heathrow. The mainland of Britain was plagued with the IRA bombing it periodically for decades which forced them to be diligent about security long before the USA knew what terrorism was. Being security conscious has become a way of life on that little island in the North Sea. Just try finding a garbage can on a railway station platform? There are none so the IRA could not plant bombs in them.
Now about the staff at Heathrow. Surely anyone with eyes that work can see most of them are not British at all but immigrants of some variety or another. A true Brit is a very friendly individual. The invasion of their island during the past fifty years has changed the face of the entire community, not all for the better that is for certain.
And finally, transit visas etc. If they are needed and that is the rule and you cannot find a different route then it is something that has be lived with. The US had them and still has them for certain nationalities, the UK is certainly not on its own. I have been living in the US for almost a decade now and have been stung by their immigration rules as all of the contributors to this forum probably have but we chose to come here so have to put up with the system.
We all have choices so if you do not want to get transit visas just choose a route that precludes the need for one. Ten pages bad mouthing the UK is not helping anyone it is just antagonizing those of us who originated there.
Just because the majority of immigration voice are Indian it is certainly not all and I think that gets missed on so many occasions. We are in the midst of the US immigration system together, or so I thought.
Every country has its own rules, some will be in our favor some will not but if we choose to go there we have to live by them. It is entirely NOT appropriate to expect countries we visit to bow to us on any level!!!!!!!

I am on H1/EAD and own a home. Lenders don't deny you a loan solely based on your visa status. Some think its too risky to own a home before getting a green card. I think this is a personal choice you make based on your comfort level. IMHO, we should keep the home ownership out of this. If we include things that are simply not true, it will only make our letter(s) less credible.
guys, these were just examble of personal blurbs. Please feel free to make it your own. However, I have heard of one case right now because of the subprime mess where the lender did not go ahead with the loan because of the risk. i am not saying there arent any banks out there where you wont get a loan, but some banks are switching gears and making really safe loans compared to their risk taking ability a few yrs back.

Delay In The Age Of Security - Employee Green Card Woes
Geoffrey Forney
WolfBlock
Geoffrey Forney is an Associate in WolfBlock's Employment Services Practice Group and is a member of the group's Immigration Services Team. Geoffrey handles all aspects of immigration and nationality law, including employment- and family-based immigration, removal (deportation) defense and asylum.
Many human resources representatives who handle immigration matters are well aware that dealing with the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) can be confusing and at times frustrating. The agency has volumes of regulations, policies, decisions and guidelines governing the admission and employment of foreign nationals. Understanding the agency's requirements can be an overwhelming task. In addition, the agency's decision process is often obscure, leaving employers and foreign nationals guessing about the procedures that affect them directly.
Added to the confusion is the baffling situation of the excessively long-delayed adjudication of green card and naturalization applications. Employers spend a lot of time and money to sponsor valued foreign national employees only to find that the last stage of the process (adjustment of status or "green" card) is bogged down within a quagmire of endless and seemingly unexplainable delay. Applicants for green cards can face delays up to seven years or more. From an HR perspective, the situation is frustrating: all of the employee's appropriate paperwork has been filed, but the USCIS simply refuses to act on the application. Employers and foreign nationals make inquires with the USCIS only to be told that their applications are being held up because of "security" issues.
What "security" issues? Many foreign nationals are upset by this response, because they know that they have never had any contacts with law enforcement. Just because a foreign national is caught in security clearance delays does not necessarily mean that the person has had problems with law enforcement authorities. In the vast majority of cases, it simply means that the foreign national's name matches in some way a name in an FBI administrative file. Only after the USCIS confirms that the foreign national is not the same individual who is listed in the FBI administrative file will the USCIS proceed with the adjudication of the green card or naturalization application. It sounds simple enough, so why does this process take so long?
Congress requires the USCIS to perform criminal background checks on foreign nationals applying to become permanent residents (green card holders) or naturalized citizens of the United States. In addition to the Congressionally mandated criminal background check, DHS performs two other background checks on foreign nationals applying for green cards or citizenship. The criminal background check is a relatively easy and fast check: the USCIS obtains a fingerprint impression from the foreign national and checks this fingerprint image against the FBI's Criminal Master File. This check is usually completed within 48 hours, as it is largely a computer automated system. The second type of check, the Interagency Border Inspection System (IBIS) check, is also very quick. The IBIS check is based on a database containing information from 26 different federal agencies that includes information on persons of "interest" to law enforcement. This check is usually completed immediately upon entering the foreign national's name into a computer database.
The problem arises with the third and final background check, known as the "name check." Although Congress does not require name checks, in 2002 legacy INS began requesting name checks for all green card and citizenship applications as part of its post-9/11 heightening of security. A "name check" is performed by taking every permutation of the foreign national's full name and comparing those various permutations against the FBI's "Universal Index," which references the FBI's Central Records System, a voluminous archive of administrative, personnel and investigative files. Of course, foreign nationals with common names will usually "match" an FBI file. In addition, a foreign national's name need not necessarily match a "main" file name, containing, for example, a suspect's name, but may match "reference" names, including informants and witnesses. Hence, the universe of possible matches is very large.
Although the FBI usually responds to a USCIS request for a name check within two weeks, if there is a "hit" or match between one or more permutations of the foreign national's name, a more extensive search must be completed. If a secondary search does not clear the foreign national's name, the USCIS requests a manual investigation of the relevant FBI case files. Since a "match" ultimately leads to a manual inspection of physical files. The process is time and labor intensive. One of the main reasons for the excessive delays in this arena is the lack of resources devoted to the manual inspection of files. To date, the USCIS and FBI currently have more than 340,000 cases in the name check backlog, according to the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman.
As a result, a foreign national stuck in the name check backlog can expect to wait a very long time - a matter of years - before expecting a final adjudication of his or her application for a green card or citizenship. In some cases, a final resolution never occurs. It is not unusual to find applicants with unresolved cases that are more than five years old.
Recently, the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman cited "name check" delays as a major problem for the agency in his 2007 annual report. The Ombudsman questioned the utility and effectiveness of the name check process, noting that "[n]ame check[s] are not conducted by the FBI as part of an ongoing investigation or from a need to learn more about an individual because of any threat or risk perceived by the FBI." Furthermore, the Ombudsman suggested that the name check program does not comply with DHS Secretary Chertoff's risk management modeling, because the cost of name checks far outweighs the purported national security benefit: "Considering the protection the FBI name check provides, the cost of government resources used, and mental and actual hardships to applicants and their families, USCIS should reassess the continuation of its policy to require FBI name checks in their current form." Notwithstanding the Ombudsman's criticism of the name check program, other high-level USCIS officials continue to support the process, so it appears that name checks will remain a part of green card and naturalization applications.

I don't want to be a spoilsport.
But there is a possibility that EB2I has not yet retrogressed (inspite of heavy porting) because USCIS knows EB1C 12000 will flow to EB2 right. In that case we may not see movement of dates in par with 12000 spillover.
Maybe I am pessimistic.
In all calculations, it is mentioned that porting at max could be 6k/year. How did we come up with this number? Any proof or just a guess?
Thanks.
This is a very simple calculation. Following are the numbers before Oct -2006. These total to ~ 12K.
EB2-C - 3521
EB2-I - 9345
The dates will move further if more than 12K numbers are infused into the system. I would say that the dates should be in Oct - Nov 2006 range with these 12K numbers, having Nov as buffer as they may issue RFE's to folks.

Thanks for the quick response, Logiclife. That makes perfect sense in your case. But as for me, where my attorney is pretty good and my employer was treating me well till now. Should I just let him file 485 for me and 485/EAD/AP for my wife? And can I file my EAD and AP on my own later? What are the consequences of doing that??
Thanks again!!
For me, its 1 and 3. I am sick of my company's lawfirm. They are slow and they always end up filing things late. I almost lost my driver's licence renewal in April due to their procrastination and slowness in apply for H1 extension. If they do the same thing in this, then dates can retrogress and window of opportunity closes.
Besides, I somehow feel that errors on forms are more likely when paralegals do your paperwork rather than you doing your paperwork.
I am planning to keep a backup of all paperwork to file on my own if the lawfirm fails to file it by the 7th or 8th July. I will fire them and tell them to back off and do this on my own. I think that if they cant burn the midnight oil and work overtime during such critical times, then they deserve to lose business and we deserve to take care of our problems.

Lou Dobbs Crusades Against Spitzer�s Driver�s License Plan for Illegal Immigrants (http://www.nytimes.com/2007/10/17/nyregion/17dobbs.html) By NICHOLAS CONFESSORE | New York Times, October 17, 2007
ALBANY, Oct. 16 � The CNN anchor Lou Dobbs calls Gov. Eliot Spitzer �a genius.� But not in a nice way.
�I was being about as facetious as one could be,� Mr. Dobbs said in an interview Tuesday as he prepared for his nightly broadcast, �Lou Dobbs Tonight.� For the last nine days, the show has included discussion of Mr. Spitzer�s plan to allow illegal immigrants to apply for driver�s licenses.
Mr. Dobbs, a pinstriped journalist turned populist crusader against illegal immigration, is not a fan.
�It�s an abuse of power!� Mr. Dobbs thundered. �He is being absolutely irresponsible. When the governor of New York embarks on this kind of irresponsibility, it is national news as far as I�m concerned.�
And when Mr. Dobbs � whose broadcast is CNN�s second-highest-rated show � speaks, many people listen. His relentless mockery of Mr. Spitzer�s decision has thrust the driver�s license policy onto the national stage, helping fuel an uproar not only among New Yorkers, but among national groups opposed to illegal immigration as well.
As it happens, Mr. Dobbs was recovering from a tonsillectomy when Mr. Spitzer announced the policy on Sept. 21. But the anchorman went on the attack almost immediately after going back on the air Oct. 8, saying it was �hard to imagine what this governor is thinking.�
It only took him another week to conclude that Mr. Spitzer, in fact, was not thinking at all. �This governor is a genius,� he proclaimed disgustedly on Monday. �An overwhelming majority of New York voters oppose the governor, but he refuses to back down.�
With the television set on mute, the scrunch alone of Mr. Dobbs�s brow conveys his belief that Mr. Spitzer�s new policy is, possibly, the dumbest idea in the history of dumb ideas.
�I think he�s definitely had an effect,� said State Senator Martin J. Golden, a Brooklyn Republican who was on Mr. Dobbs�s show on Sunday to denounce the plan. �Everybody�s chiming in. I get e-mails from across the country because of Lou Dobbs. I got an e-mail from a soldier in Iraq saying, �Go for it, Golden, keep it up.��
Mr. Golden is one of several New York elected officials � most of them with more experience on New York 1 than on CNN � who have been recent guests on Mr. Dobbs�s show. Many have expressed support for proposals by state lawmakers to overturn the license policy or to deny funding for it.
But not everyone who goes on gets supportive e-mail messages.
Jos� M. Serrano, a Democratic state senator who represents parts of Manhattan and the Bronx, appeared with Mr. Golden to defend Mr. Spitzer�s policy, but found himself under a verbal barrage from both the host and his fellow guest. �Oh my goodness, that was something else,� Mr. Serrano said. �I think it was my first time on national television. I wound up debating both of them � Lou paid very little attention to Marty Golden and instead just kind of dug in on me.�
This next morning, Mr. Serrano said, his office was bombarded with angry e-mail messages from around the country.
�One guy wrote, �We will derail the illegal gravy train from within,�� he said. �I don�t really know what that means. Another person said, �Go back to Mexico, you�re obviously Mexican.�� (Mr. Serrano is from Puerto Rico.) �I�m not na�ve, but I was still surprised at the level of ignorance,� Mr. Serrano said.
(Mr. Dobbs�s correspondents have also stated on the air that illegal immigrants will need only a foreign passport to obtain a driver�s license, and that Mr. Spitzer�s policy was instituted through executive order, neither of which is true.)
Mr. Dobbs�s guests and interviewees are typically opponents of the policy. A segment that Mr. Dobbs pitched on Thursday as �a lively debate� on the issue, for example, featured the host and two members of the State Assembly who oppose the governor�s plan, along with a viewers� poll on whether Mr. Spitzer should be recalled. (Ninety-seven percent said yes.)
One person who has not made an appearance on Mr. Dobbs�s show, despite repeated invitations, is the governor himself. Christine Anderson, a spokeswoman for Mr. Spitzer, said scheduling problems had prevented the governor from appearing. The administration had made other officials available to Mr. Dobbs�s bookers, she said, including Michael A. L. Balboni, the governor�s top Homeland Security aide. But the show�s producers had declined.
�We don�t really have a position about his show,� Ms. Anderson said. �That said, facts matter, and what we have endeavored to do throughout this entire debate is to make an argument about the safety and security benefits to doing this.�
But Mr. Dobbs said that Mr. Spitzer, and Mr. Spitzer alone, is responsible for defending his new policy.
�The man hasn�t shown the gumption to come on the air and debate the issue with me,� Mr. Dobbs said.

I support you L1Fraud.
Guys: This has become a major problem at every place. If we do not take any action, every one of us will be replaced by these BIG outsource companies with L1 and B1.
I already reported this to ICE about violations of CTS which has placed their L1's at client's place for the past 2 years. And still they have several people.
You may not believe their pay. I do not want to put a number here and it will be a shame on CTS for misusing L1. They replaced 18 American Workers at my client's pace. Whatever you guys might think, this is a FRAUD.
