Saralayar, if you create a new thread with main topic as action to Vote on Change.gov, it may get more attention, and IV members can also send that link to their GC holder friends.

These 2 folks SunnySurya and Rolling_flood attacked me with RED points because i said the truth on the other thread of "Lawsuit for Porting/Interfiling". Though i least care if someone anonymous gives me Red points but i'm worried about them.....
This is what i wrote in that post which was attacked , what's wrong in it ... Try to digest the truth SunnySurya and Rolling_flood - you can't scare folks like by words of Lawsuit....
............
Lot of our case was exactly like that - i was eligible for EB2 when my Eb3 labor was filed. Employer took advantage of my compromising situation ( H was having 390 days juice left)
If Porting/Interfiling is taken off folks like me will be terribly victimized. I'm here for 9 years - my 1st labor was substituted , 2nd labor ( which should be Eb2 but filed in Eb3) took a round trip from Phily backlog elimination center and now i'm stuck in the Eb3-140 mess at NSC
..........
All,
Lets do another flower campaign to wish get well soon to SunnySurya and Rooling_flood. Get well soon Mamu...

Can we do a blood drive next as protest! seriously. Donate blood as protest and for media attention.
I totally support the blood donation idea. I am pretty sure, a blood donation drive would be front page news on American Red Cross web site also. It should send out a message that the GC is so important to us.
The actual collection of blood hopefully will be fully carried out by the American Red Cross.
Thanks,

Hi Canadian_Dream,
Congratulations on 485 approval...
Can you please brief us abt the priority dates, ur country of all applications. And also plz tell whether you had same A#s on both 485 applications.
It will be really helpful for us...Thanks in advance.
Pappu,
I agree with you on this, there is some truth to this that there could be delays when there are multiple filings. In fact this is the first time when USCIS has to deal with so many multiple filings, a very few lawyers have any direct experience with it. From USCIS Standard Operating Procedure, there is a mention of "second filing" (not duplicate filing) in the following places:
1. Procedural Overview (Page 4)
2. File Review (Page 46)
3. Interview Waiver Criteria (Page 185)
http://www.ilw.com/seminars/august2002_citation2b.pdf
From the link above:
In (1) and (2) above it says second filing should be handled under the normal process. Although if different A# are assigned case goes to CRU (case resolution unit). But if A# assigned are same, you are more or less processed like a normal case. The last part (3) interview waiver criteria, multiple filing is mentioned as one of the deviations from interview waiver criteria but it NOT the interview criteria itself. In the end processing time for multiple filing is very much up to the discretion of adjudicating officer. Also, I didn't find any reason to believe that there could be issues with security check with multiple filings.
I think all of us multiple filers can breathe easy if our cases are filed clearly with full disclosure of information without any intended willful violation.
I am a multiple filer too, my I-485 application filed in early June was approved last week. I hope this gives some reason for optimism for us multiple filers. Good luck to everyone. BTW: I am still a contributing member and will continue to hang out at IV.

In reality How USCIS divide 28.6% among countires - That is unknown mystery and nobody surely know that. And that is why I had to assume "equal shares - 5 part" in my analysis assuming USCIS works fairly but we all know that is a bullshit too :)
Look at histrocial approval you will know your assumption is incorrect. ROW gets more than half the numbers in any category.

Congrats ski_dude12. My personal opinion is that this may have delayed your greencard since July. Sometimes people get too anxious once their date is current and want to try everything that is possible to get approval. There is so much information and misinformation on forums.

I am in the same situation, and I plan to include photocopy of my courtesy copy of my I-140 with other docs, as I am filing AOS by myself. If anyone else had the same issue, please share your exp.
Sorry to disappoint you guys, but courtesy copy is not sufficient to file I-485. Read your courtesy copy clearly. It categorically states that
"This courtesy copy may not be used in lieu of official notification to demonstrate the filing or processing action taken on this case."
I think it is crystal clear what INS means.
The big question is, what happens if you do file with the courtesy copy of your I-140 instead of the original one. My guess is, if you are lucky, INS may accept your 485 petition initially, and after a few months then may simply send you a RFE asking for the original copy of I-140. And, by that time you may be able to convince your company or company-lawyer to release to you the original copy. And if you are unluncky and the clerk at INS is sharp eyed, he/she may take this as a case of missing initial evidence and blow up your entire 485 application at the on set.
You can take your chances.

Does the letter need to have the same information as the LC. I can get a non I-485 related employment verification letter but here is the catch. The employer is dilly dallying on filing for I-485. The employer can give a letter with my job title which is "XYZ Developer" include salary, length of employment etc. But the "Final Determination" copy that I have says occupation: Computer Software Engineers, 15-1031. Does the letter have to state "Computer Software Engineer" or can it state "XYZ Developer" ? If it has to be the former that will only alert them that I am bypassing their stonewalling and the employer is only likely to refuse to include that as the job title. So which is which ? The job specific title ie "XYZ Developer" or the DOL title per the "Final Determination"
Does anyone have an answer or idea as to the job title employer verification letter question ? I didn't see any response as yet so I thought I'd repost the question. So far I've only seen some suggestions on other forums that suggest filing anyways without the letter and waiting for an RFE which might then coax the employer to do the necessary then, waiting for I-140 to be approved and then filing with W-2's (or paystubs -- I don't recall) or waiting 180 days, filing without the letter, switching to a new employer after the 180 days pass and then submitting the new employer's letter.

Hi,
My spouse is traveling to India soon as her father is ill. She is on H4 visa, valid until next year, with pending I-485. She doesn't have AP at hand. Given that there is a slim chance that our pds would be current, would she get into trouble if she is in India when her GC gets approved?:confused:

My wife is on F1 visa and I am hoping the dates will move soon and we will be able to file 485. I would like to know if
>she can file 485 by being in F1 ?
If you are under H1b and she is applying for 485 together with you then answer is yes she can.
>Once she files being in F1, can she still continue to be on F1 and travel in and out of US on F1?
No because F1 is for non immigrant as F1 you show that you have no intention to move to US but once your file your I-485 you show an intention to move and stay in US therefore F1 is no longer valid.
>What will be her status when she starts using EAD if she filed being in F1?
Once she filed 485 she will be waiting for her status to be Permanent resident.
her F1 is no longer valid. She can work using her EAD but if I485 got reject she will be automatically out of status and has to go out from US.
I'm not a lawyer what I've told and writte has to be confirm with your attorney.
Also Please see below answer by Attorney Murthy:
Hello. My wife is studying on F-1 visa and I filed I-485 for her. (I have a valid H1B.) Can we now change from AOS to CP? Will this in any way affect her status or mine?
Attorney Murthy : A person on F-1 is no longer considered on F-1 status once she files the I-485 papers, unlike the person on an H1B who is legally allowed to maintain both statuses. So, if a person who only had F-1 status switches to CP, then the spouse has to switch to H-4 status in the U.S. immediately. Otherwise, she is considered out of status in the U.S. if the USCIS agrees to cancel the I-485 and convert the case to CP.

On what basis you are saying that Oct'2008 PD will be similar to Jun'2007. Didn't you read the note in Sep'2008 VB that PD for EB3 category will retrogress further.
If you cann't support EB3 community then at least don't misguide people here. EB3-I is in severe pain right now and people like you can't understand it.
The EB-3 the Visa bull is talking about is that of EB-3 other workers not for general EB-3 category..
In Jul07 they gave away lots of Visa to EB-3 so from earlier years they may not be much EB-3's left..I am guessing..so it may actually start off at Mid of 03..

MY friend just spoke to Lingo, they are coming up a cheaper(may be $1 or $2 cheap) plan with unlimited to India/China and 101 countries and also can be used from a registered cellphone incase you do not have internet for any reason.
So, wait for couple of weeks and then choose the right one.

Even USCIS has pre adjudicated all AOS cases , DOS will not be in good shape to predict perfect cutoff date ever. WHY ?? Every year in Sep DOS move dates forward in order to prevent visa waste. Lets say because of these pre adjudicated DOS knows that they are 10k pending app before Sep 2004 and supply is 7k. Still they will move date till 2004 Oct just to give room to USCIS. If they move date to July 2004 which has 7k app and supply is also 7k and some how USCIS has problem approving some cases because of some reason then they will waste few visas.
Till last year DOS was moving date randomly but this year they had move date with little offset. In Oct they moved date forward little bit because DOS think USCIS will not be ready with those left over case from 2004. If they will then they will chew Oct supply and 2005 Jan applicants will not get any visas. Again supply in Oct is only few hundreds visas to only lucky people from 2004 and 2005 will get green card. I am hoping DOS will do quarter spill over where we can get almost 10k Spill over and dates can move to Dec 2005.

This is my case:
I am not working with my GC (I140) sponsoring company. I applied 485 based on that 140 from my previous company.
Got 3yr H1extn (from Vermont, EAC, in Dec 2007)for current company based on that approved 140.
Got EAD , AP approved.
My previous H1 visa expired in 2004. ( 4yrs gap)
Is it better to go to consulate (Chennai) for stamping ? or use AP?
If I use AP, at POE ( Newark EWR)if I were asked why I am not with GC sponsoring employer what should I say ?
Is there any issue for going stmaping after a long gap ?
Please adivse.

Like 140 premium that program will be first suspended and then dumped eventually because there are resource and Process problems internally.
Unless you fix root causes - these Premium things ain't going to work.
IV should propose a Premium Processing for FBI Namecheck/ Other Background checks. For certain extra fee UCIS/ FBI can do this on premium bases.
