Since the Lock Boxes are in place now, does the processing times published monthly by the USCIS give any indication of the average time taken to process EAD & AP ?
Also which service center ( i.e. based on lock box location etc) should we consider when looking at the processing times from now on ?

Hi,
I am wondering if someone could please clarfiy whether the beneficiary can pay the fee for the H1 B petition and the fee for the lawyer involved in filing the petition.
It will be very helpful if you could please cite an official USCIS document.
Thank you.

Rep.Darell Issa (NY) has introduced a bill to end the Diversity Lottery program and give the 55k visas to EB applicants with advanced US Degrees. This is a pretty exciting development (at least to me).
I think this is a great starting point that we should all jump on to clear EB backlogs.

Oh !! I see then to approve for a 2001/2002/2003 485 case , every month USICS needs to make the VB current on 15 and take back to on 30 ....
Not necessarily that they have to make it current as the retrogression kicked in only @ 2005 Jan, so none with PD 2005 or later has their petition pending at this time at least in EB2/3 category. Also in 2004 there was not PERM and folks filed for Labor, except in certain states like Iowa, etc... Were waiting for labors somewhere between 6-10 months minimum. Mine took more than 2 years. So the I-485 petition pending, latest PD most likely could have PD�s up to June/July 2004 for EB2/3 category. So if they set the cutoff date Dec 2003 or Jan/Jun 2004 they will have sufficient petitions that are already processed and ready for approval, If they do not want to loose the visa numbers. I don�t understand the logic behind the VB, that visa availability showing current for all categories.. Had they bumped the Cut-Off date by 6 months at a time for each month or even a year, this might not have been so bad.

I am manily concerned as USICS rejected the 485 petitions for "Other Worker s" last june ,they can also do the same now if they received huge number of applications ( 40K) in the first few days .
It is pretty obvious they will surely receive more than 40K petitions. Who knows, they must have already got the same in June when they advanced the dates in June VB. Visa numbers are allocated at the time of approval and not at the time the petition is made. Even if they get million petition in July, that does not mean all the Visa numbers are consumed. It is an indicator they have enough petitons to meet the demand to use all the available numbers and alter the VB Cutoff dates for PD in future months. It depends on the approvals too and it is not likely the petitions made in June/july will get approved now... So we must be okay.. but you never know with USCIS/DOL/DOS... Any thing can happen... for instance like the VB is Current for all categories in July.

Friends,
I know once I 485 is filed and I 140 is approved after 6 months you can move to a simlar job.
My question is what you get laid off after 6 months of filing I 485 but you cant get a new job immediately, what if you get new job only after 2-3 months gap - what are the reprecussions ?
Also is there concrete guildlines on what same or similar job is ?
Thanks

I e-filed my EAD renewal application (around 120 days of expiry) along with my wife's EAD application on 03/16 and both were approved on 04/07. We both have sequential receipt #s.
However, we received my wife's EAD on 04/12 but not mine. I am the primary application of 485.
Did this happen to anyone else ?

Hi IV members!
I know many of us have been toying with ideas to increase membership. I wanted to start a separate thread just to highlight the following idea - Every member bring one additional member to IV.
Specifically, these are the bullet points I suggest:
1. By December 31, each of you bring one member to IV.
If you really think about it, it is not a difficult task. Every one of us knows atleast one person stuck in GC process, that is talking conservatively. It takes less than 15 minutes to call one person and explain IVs efforts and request his/her support.
2. By January 15, each of us take responsibility to get the member we brought to IV to contribute to the cause. And I am not suggesting any particular amount.
3. Each of take responsibility in having them update their information on IV website, so that when the need arises, they can be contacted (for sending webfaxes etc. like last week).
Also, whenever you bring someone to IV, please post on this thread (it will encourage others). I feel this approach will work, if we keep this thread alive, and try to stick to the time deadline (deadlines might not have worked before, because they were too long term).
Also, please keep this thread on track, without any other discussions.
So IV'ers, lets add ONE member, and get ONE contribution!!!!
Thank you.
Neelu
Thanks so much, this is an excellent idea. Add one-2-3-10 members, lets keep this thread alive and kicking. Lets keep it to the top. We can do it. In a single day last week the thread we started calling sessions went from 35 posts to 150 posts.

We need a new bill which supports legal
Instead of starting afresh with a new bill, it would be wise if our lobbying efforts for legal immigration adjust to the changing political winds in Washington.
How Would a Republican Congress Handle Immigration? � The Washington Independent (http://washingtonindependent.com/101609/how-would-a-republican-congress-handle-immigration)
1. Based on the report above, the new heads of judiciary committee and Immigration Sub Committee are individuals who view "border security" as the first step towards Immigration Reform. Since a majority of members on this forum are LEGAL immigrants, we need not worry about any steps taken towards border security and ICE Enforcement.
2. We could take our efforts, straight to Congressmen Smith and King and explain the challenges we face in getting LPR status.
3. Congressman Smit represents 21st Congressional District (San Antonio- Austin) area, which has a sizeable Indian population. We can approach him after the elections and discuss our issues with him. I am not aware of Rep. Kings constituency in Iowa, but he can be approached as well.
4. Having a powerful "ear" to listen to our issues and given the limited controversy (Since a majority of US, are on the oft targeted H1B) associated with our immigration needs, we might ask the Congressman himself, what the right steps should be. (New Bill or take up the visa recapture bill (introduced by Rep. Zoe Lofgren).
5. Immigration Voice works with Patton Boggs to voice our concerns with the lawmakers. Former Senator/Congressman Trent Lott works with Patton Boggs. He was the house majority leader, Republican whip and is someone who has (or had) a lot of clout within the Republican party. He was a colleague of Rep. Lamar Smith. He might help us push for the legal immigration piece.[/B]

HLG wants to give these 90 K to the healthcare professionals Schedule A only...So I donot know about you but I donot get anything for sure.....Even if the recapture is for all categories it would not make much difference....May be EB3 ROW would become current...
I know that HLG has been an advocate for Healthcare (Nurses & PT's). How ever, the particular msg on the web site didnt say that the 90K capture is intended for the Schedule A category

Wake up. Don�t take every word from Ron Hira as word of Gospel. This guy is the biggest thief and preacher of hate.
If you guys are wondering who Ron Hira is , check his pic at the link below. Poetic Justice? Some immigrant (or someone born in a immigrant) family. How ironic?
