I believe the USCIS counts only applications they have recieved. In other words even if there is a 140 approved but the person is not able to file a 485 then his application would not count. I think they log in the applications when they send out the reciept notices and then log them out when approved. As such I think even pending EAD and AP applications would be counted as cases.
However some clarification would be definitely nice.
I want to point out however that there are many cases of 140 approvals who for whatever reason are not active or transferring to another petition.
The BECs have completed a little over half of the cases to date. They are moving quite fast in the last few weeks. Recently a colleagues application filed in May 2004 got approved, within 3 weeks mine filed on the same day with the same lawyer was also approved (atleast online status check). As such I feel that atleast those that filed with RIRs will be done by the end of the year and those with traditional labours will be done by next year. Now that last point is what gives me the chills. Those are the really old PDs and until we get a feel for how many of them are still active and how many are legit and how many of those are used for Labour Subs etc, we will not get a handle on the size of this problem.
At the very least we can double the number of pending petitions at 485 stage. Also atleast about 30-40k of those with background checks pending are probably EB based. So It would be a guesstimate but there may be about 300K or so back log of visa numbers needed. However of those a disproportionate number would be EB India. I would conservatively say a third. All guessowrk of course.

what is the deadline for the final letter and when can we start the campaign.
Also I would really appreciate if someone can post the instruction on how to send the fax.. step by step so that the non IT layman also can do that.
Please keep bumping this post and put a poll on this thread or start a thread just to get the count on how many did it.
But...I'm not comfortable with subject, that is starting with a question.. ( reply to svn's post)
IMO, it might backfire as...'What da xxxx is in it for legal immigrants?'( depending upon ones mood at that time)
I'm more for a lowered tone...request, that is.
Thanks hsingh82! for the post and validating the site.

Alp,
I faced the exact same question a few months ago. I came to INSEAD in Aug'07 after taking a leave of absence from my employer. My advice is to keep the door open by trying to keep your process active.
Good luck with your time at INSEAD!

Cool...I didnt give any sign. autho..I just sent docs yesterday...
so keeping my fingers crossed until they file (without asking me to sign G-28 in between) :D
Did you fill the actual I-485 forms or just the questionnaire that employers usually send? in case you've filled actual forms that they will send, did you check the box on the right bottom where it asks if you'll be represented by an attorney...
In case of a questionnaire, you might get those forms filled by them for your signatures.
good luck

its unbelievable what has been achieved in the last 2 months.
this is also path-breaking and historical as this is the first recorded organized group of high-skilled legal immigrants fighting for their cause.
Kudos to the core team. ignore the detractors.

The 2001 recession was centered around the tech bubble... Except for people working in IT, most did not even feel it was recession... Infact the recession of 2001 was considered the shortest and the mildest on record... But it hit the tech industry hard which was at the center of the storm... Having learned their lesson, the IT companies paid a lot of attention to their bottomline and preserving their resources... The Ciscos, the Microsofts, the Oracles are sitting on huge piles of cash... So they have not been as quick to lay off people as other industries... So if you work in IT you might be thinking what recession? Things are fine... Just as people in Real estate and finance thought in 2001... However, if you look at the numbers it tells a different story... The peak unemployement during the 01 recession was 6.2%... This time we have already crossed 6.7% and there seems no light at the end of the tunnel... This is a much serious downturn, that will fundamentally affect US and rest of the world. I am surprised at the number of IT people thinking this is a small storm that will just pass away... Lehman Brothers, 140 year old bank just vanished one morning... Merrill Lynch gone! Thats some serious S**T!! Its like waking up one morning to find out that Microsoft does not exist anymore! Ask your friends working in finance (if you have any) and they will tell you how serious this is! The layoffs in IT are coming my friends... Hold on to your jobs like your life depended on it... Because things are about to get nasty for the IT sector too... Good luck!

I totally agree.
My PERM application was rejected several times due to my ex-employer Attorney's negligence, and my priority date got pushed. Finally, I ended up hiring my own attorney, and hence I was able to file AOS back in July 2007.
LONGGCQUE
Try to submit as many proofs as you can, such as pay stubs, tax papers, appraisals & etc. As for the experience letter, your attorney should write a letter to USCIS explaining the situation, with all the above mentioned documents attached.
Oftentimes, we know better than what some attorneys do. They are not always right.
Seek a second opinion if necessary.
To add to that, keep following up with your lawyer. Dont assume that lawyers know everything. My lawyer destroyed my case and made me loose my 2001 labor. I have now refiled and have a 2004, a loss of 3 years, but in reality, I could have had my green card nearly 8 years ago if it had not been for the mess up. There was nothing that I could do as the company was running the show. All i could get them to do was to refile again.
In addition to the letters from co-workers, send as many paystubs that you can get, W2 forms and tax returns (or the indian version), bank statements, etc. Also include a letter along with proof that you requested a letter from your old employer.

If the person gets the visa stamped on the passport at the US consulate abroad, I do not see any problems re-entering.
AP is only optional. You can always get a valid US visa stamp based on the approved petition and use the H-1 visa stamp to re-enter.
I am not sure what the confusion here is:rolleyes:
There could be a problem at Point of Entry if the officer notices the exit date before the approval of AP. I think for you to be able to use AP to enter it should be approved prior to your exit out of the country. You might want to consult an attorney or USCIS on this. If the IO at POE stops them there is nothing you can do. So be very careful on what you want to do here.

Below is data of PD from last four years for EB2-I - only for Jun, Jul & Aug.
Except July Fiasco , I don't see dates ever moving forward in July VB; but they do move in August VB.
Has anything changed in spillover laws in last 1 year - which will explain this no movement in July but in August?
Jun 06 : 01JAN03 | July 06 : 01JAN03 | August 06 : U ---> No change in July. Aug backward
Jun 07 : 01APR04 | July 07 : C | August 07 : U ---> July Fiasco
Jun 08 : 01APR04 | July 08 : 01APR04 | August 08 : 01JUN06 ---> No change in July. Aug foreward
Jun 09 : 01JAN00 | July 09 : 01JAN00 | August 09 : 01OCT03 ---> No change in July. Aug foreward
Jun 10 : 01FEB05 | July 10 : ?????? | August 10 : ???? ---> Do your really expect forward movement in July?
Hope to see some movement in coming months .....

Ok my last attempt to convey my thoughts:
If your H1B is approved and you are granted an extension it only means that your application was approvalble at the time of filling. Now in order to maintain H1B status you should have:
1. Job with that employer who sponsored H1B
2. Income as dictated in LCA
3. Other condition such as NO DUI etc
Now what if one of the condition in the list above is:
4. Your I-140 on which the extension is granted should NOT be revoked.
I know this is not spelled out clearly, becasue in the past no one took this avenue. Now with premium processing everyone wants to do a quick PERM + 140 to get 3 more years on H1B. It is important that USCIS should clarify their stand on it, one way or the other. In fact if any of the service center sets a precedence by simply implying that one's H1B is invald after I-140 is revoked the interpretation will be cleared. Unfortunately it hasn't happend yet or I we are not aware of it. I hope they clarify it sooner than later.
That's why you have to be quick...Before your earlier employer revokes the petition...(that takes some time..) you got to get a new labor and a new approved I-140 and after that they cannot throw us out technically...
The whole thing is a mess..

Hello -
As a Primary Applicant my GC was approved (EB-1) but for my wife's application I got an RFE. RFE - USCIS is asking for a VALID wedding certificate showing proof of a hindu wedding under hindu act (dont ask what I was doing or what my lawyer was doing while submitting 485)
Now I have about 28 days (total is 30) to respond to it. I have not rcvd. my GC but it has been approved and has been sent to production. My lawyer told me that as my GC has been approved my VISA is not good anymore. My wife was on dependent visa and so is my kid.
Now as my GC got approved.......my visa got cancelled...........my wife's & kids visa is invalid.............and we did not file for Advance Parole so we cant travel. On top of all this we dont have a wedding certificate.
Any suggestion to address this situation? I cant get a certificate without going back to India and I cant leave the country as If I do so I wont get to enter the country again. Even if somehow (on some legal basis) I can re enter I dont think my wife and kid will be able to re enter US.
If I dont produce evidence then my wife's application will be rejected putting her out of status.............gosh what a mess.....
ANY SUGGESTIONS FROM ANYONE WILL BE HIGHLY APPRECIATED. Murali please respond with any possibility which I can explore upon.
Thanks
Get an affidavit from relatives who were present for weeding....2 affidavits will be enough. No need to travel abroad.
