I am feeling very envious of people having their applications processed at the TSC. TSC as seen by the examples above are renewing EAD in 2 weeks.
However, NSC is taking 2 months to process these EADs. There is a big difference between processing logic at NSC v/s TSC
I think the employee diversity at TSC is big compared to NSC. Therefore, people add their heart to work and processing is faster. In other words, Intent is pure. If you pay a higher fee for a service you get the return.
Contrast that with NSC. The employee diversity is poor. Employees are working just because it is a government job and their intentions are questionable, therefore a big lag in processing.
Hope the courts teach NSC a lesson, that nobody is above the law and they should be processing cases quickly as compared to their TSC counterparts. Hope somebody is listening.

Hi All,
Regarding my I-485 appln. status - I do remember seeing "Request for Evidence" status before. Currently I see "Request for Evidence Response Review". I see this status change although there are no LUDs.
Throw in your input Gurus !
Thanks
same with my online status. we responsed to RFE in July 2009 and status showed RFE for the last one year. Recently (about a week back) a 'new' status field RFE review has been added and my application is in that status. Not sure if it means anything.

I think everyone is interested in fighting amongst themselves over I-485 instead of doing something for IV. They will never do any effort but will spend lot of time complaining and writing about their big ideas on the forums. I think moderators should not even respond to members that have not yet updated their profiles. This will compell everyone to update their profile. Membership is also not increasing. How many of us have used the invite your friend tool till now?
Exactly, well said. Thanks

And whats wrong with having 90% non-immigrants in ur workforce?
These companies(even desi consulting) do play an important business role in consulting and economy at large. Only thing we have to worry about is that they dont exploit or abuse the workers which can easily solved by making h1b portable. By restricting to 10% or 20%, these 20% are going to be more exploited because there will be hundreds of desis and non-immigrants waiting to take that 20 jobs that now available and companies will exploit them.
If you want to see the effects of protectionist bill like these, one only needs to look at manufacturing sector. US gov. and unions protected its local manufacturing workers, wages went up and eventually the whole sector went to China and other countries. Its happening with automobile sector now. Let's hope software industry is not next.
This is actually a very good idea. Maybe not 10% even 25% is fine.
This way microsoft, oracle etc. can get their workers.
Even Deloitte, PWC they hire americans and pay you when you're on bench.
Unlike most indian consulting companies, which don't pay you when you're on bench and make you lie on your resume.

My labor certification (Traditional EB-3) is stuck in BEC since last 5 years. It is completely beyond my understanding why it took so long for BEC to process my case. Now everyone is rejoicing USCIS's decision to accept all green card applications, but I am paralyzed with the fear of facing another huge backlog on I-485 applications. One government agency sits on our applications for years and another government agency throws us further back in the line to cover up its blunders and guess what who pays the price: WE RULE-ABIDING, LINE-WAITING FOLKS.
Even if I get my labor approval before September, I will be among the last persons to get labor certification in spite of being the one with the earliest priority date. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than suing DOL BEC at this time. We may not sue DOL on their inability to clear the backlogs, but we can definitely sue them in their utter disregard to FIFO procedures (mind that some people with priority dates in 2004, 2005 have already got their labor certifications, but some with priority dates in 2001, 2002 are still stuck). When I read on their web site that they have tried to maintain FIFO, it makes me feel like puking.
I am also disappointed with IV's attitude towards the backlog victims. I do not remember anything concrete done by IV to address the grievances of backlog victims. Now that they have won the battle with USCIS, will they have time to look at us?
:mad: :mad:
did your company receive the 45 day letter that they sent for all BEC cases.
did they give the letter to you , it might have been possible that either they did'nt receive the letter completely or they might be with-holding information from you
what does your case status say
you must have seen that i am waiting since the last 10 years, since their processing is so random that there's nothing that you can do . The worst thing that you can do is feel bitter about others who are getting benefited.
you have to fell happy for others that they are able to get out of the un-desirable situation that all of us are in.

Eb1 doesnot care about Eb2 & Eb3.
Eb2 doesnot care about Eb1 & Eb3.
Eb3 doesnot care about Eb1 & Eb2.
Embarrassingly this is the truth!!!
Correction ..
EB1 do not care about anyone
EB2 and EB3 care about what is happening because i have seen EB2 guys on this forum talk about the EB3 backlog and on the flip side there are EB3 guys who are working with IV on whatever garden path they are being led on.
My effort is to make IV core aware of the fact that maximum EB3 guys do not believe in IV direction. Now that is an eye opener and if IV really believes that they they are a representative of all EB they must face the fact that they do not have support of maximum of EB3 folks
Now if IV comes up with some genuine action items which will relieve the pressure on EB3 then they will see that EB3 folks will start believing in this whole lobbying and advocacy effort.
For example this 55k bill could include terms for EB3. Now no one from IV is talking about that and one enlightened eb2 volunteer says let the bill come through then we can include but if IV does not talk about it now how will any EB3 believe that IV would do in crunch time
The usual spiel of IV stating once EB2 becomes current EB3 will move will not hold water any longer because IV cannot promise that EB2 will come to a point where it has no more apps and spillover will go to EB3.
So that mean the whole IV approach is flawed

Immigration voice is actively involved in advocacy, campaign efforts in Washington DC.
we need members all over the country to meet or call local Senators and house Reps, about Employment Visa issues regularly and ask them to sponsor, support Bills for our concerns.
This will ensure our voice is heard during meetings of each Chamber - Senate and Congress.
Legal Immigration reform is the core goal of Immigration voice.
This thread will discuss any bill introduced for Legal immigration, including employment and family based.
The advantages being:
1. CIR will not happen for the next 2 years with a republican house majority.
2. This will be a much smaller Bill and a larger percentage of people would support this.
3. We should distinguish ourselves from illegals for a path to the GC
4. We have a big lobby ourselves, with hundreds of thousands pending, to up to 10 million GCs, citizens involved.
5. We deserve preference for following all rules
6. Illegals have a major point lacking - they did not use a H-2A visa and instead broke the law. Due to this there is popular discontent which may doom their legalization, or drag it on for many more years.
7. Legals directly add benefit to the society and tax receipts. Many of us have paid close to 100K in 5 years to IRS. Taxation = fair representation. 5 years = 10 billion from all of us at least, if you assume only 100K immigrants.
Please add points supporting or refuting this.
I have no Ill-will towards illegals, this is just my opinion on what is better for the long term future of this country.
I have the highest compassion for all the poor and needy of the world, but it is irrespective of race, religion, color.

Have not seen approvals today :) Is this the height of efficiency? all visa #s consumed on day 1
The dreaded question! On everyone's mind, but we dare not ask. As you must know, the whole process is in an extremely delicate balance - please don't rock (read jinx) the boat by asking such questions! :)
Anyways, good luck to all eagerly awaiting their GC - and let's continue making our efforts at longer term relief (ala advocacy efforts, etc.).

Hi Guys,
Happy to say , got the CPO status last night for my EAD.
I had e-filed on May 25th. 4 days back had called up customer service, and one lady said she would send an expedite request. Probably that did the trick. I had taken info pass appmnt for Aug 25 and was planning to meet the local congresman today.
Good luck you all. I know how frustrating the wait is ..

Lets not get stuck in debating and talking all the new news about legislation being introduced, Skil/CIR. The most important thing is to create awareness about problems we are facing (EB immigrants).
Time again we have seen that because of low awareness amongst all the peoples-reps (congressmen, senators, all others) our provisions have been dropped at the last minute.
The need of the hour is to keep working together as a unified team, we all do a good job as a team. We have seen that during the lame duck and also before in May, 2006.
IV core as a team exactly knows what is best for all of us. We have to trust them and help them do their thing, meanwhile we can all concentrate on
1)raising awareness, writing op/eds. writing to editors
2) Inviting other people who are stuck like us (to be IV members). Strength is in the numbers.
3) Creating a huge fund to help lobby/or other such activity that we need it for.
Some new members might doubt the intentions and the commitment of the core team. Also it is very easy to be skeptical of people asking for funds. When I was new to the IV team, I had the intitial skepticism about people on the forum asking for funds and contributing. It took me a good 2 weeks of being a guest on the site to register and then another 10-12 days to give my first contribution. So from that standpoint, I know that new people on the forum are going to take some time to trust IV and have faith in the core leadership. All we can do is to get new members (So many thousands stuck in retrogression). New members inturn will become active in a short time, Bigger and stronger IV with a 10,000+ membership will ensure being noticed and also will have the required funds to make it happen this year.
