What ever you have pointed out is very valid and no doubt, shows the injustice. However, considering the present situation following are my thoughts.
1. Let's call for an action item for all those IV members whose LCs are still in BECs
2. Try to present the case to USCIS in a truly meaningful way about the those individuals still waiting for LC approvals
3. Try to get an exception so that they can file 140+485 even after Aug17th.
(atleast this is not an impossible thing to USCIS to accept just few thousand when compared to hundreds of thousands)
I strongly believe in IV from day 1 and quickly take an action item first of all to come up with list of the individuals (as many as possible).
Then, let's approach USCIS (i don't know how to do it at this time, but open this for some good ideas) to get an exception for those cases still to come out of BECs
I know so many of us have already filed for 485 or busy to file before Aug17th, but PLEASE LET'S DO SOMETHING.
Personally even though i applied for 485, i'm all for it and justice MUST BE DONE
Subject: Injustice :mad: for people with priority dates in '02, '03, '04 etc. who are still waiting for their labor certs to be processed using the traditional process - we want to file a case against DOL's lethargy - Let us join together and file a case against DOL and bring justice to this unjustified system.
The manner in which the backlog reduction center have been processing the
labor certs seems to be very unfair for people like me and others who have been affected. I know of cases with priority dates as late as 2005 that have gone through the traditional process and have been approved already. And there are cases like mine and others with much earlier priority dates that haven't been done. This is very unfair and unjustified. It is like we have been standing in the queue for several hours and a person who came much later than me just sneaked into the queue and got his service done while I am still waiting for my turn. Also the fact that now the UCIS has made the filing of I-485 current adds more insult to the injury that I and others in my position have endured.
The fact that the I-485 was made current and then withdrawn was made a big deal and people wanted to file cases, whereas the plight of people like me who are still waiting for the labor cert to be cleared has been totally
ignored, inspite of the fact that people who applied for labor much later
have been approved through the traditional process.
We want to file a case ASAP with the DOL or other relevant
authority regarding this issue and the unfair way of the process that we
have been subjected to. So can all those folks who have been affected by this join and voice your support? We shoud put up this fight because this is in no way justified. Why would it be?
The next steps should be:
- Get all of the support we need from all affected folks ASAP
- Get in touch with a lawyer who can help us to prepare the case
- File the case in a court against DOL
- Make sure we get justice
Please join and show your support. Please help!!!

Yes , its Free :D Anyway - lets talk with a 3rd person (maybe USCIS) and confirm. Its Free, if you read the EAD forms its clearly written that once some one pays $340 ( not other amount) it becomes FREE for ever. I just checked the EAD forms again before writing this post - let me PASTE from EAD forms if that clear the confusion.
Renewal EAD: If this is a renewal application and you
applying under one of the following categories, a filing fee
not required:
1. (a)(8) Citizen of Micronesia, Marshall Islands, or Palau;
3. (a)(11) Deferred Enforced Departure; or
2. (a)(10) Granted Withholding of Deportation;
4. (c)(l), (c)(4), or (c)(7) Dependent of certain foreign government, international organization, or NATO personnel;
5. (c)(9) or (c)(16) adjustment applicant who filed for adjustment under the fee structure implemented July 30, 2007.
Its free only for those who file I-485 ( Not EAD) under new fee structure. Thats what it says in point# 5. adjustment applicant who filed for adjustment under the fee structure implemented July 30, 2007 . Its about I-485 application, not EAD

Thanks

Congratulations to all IV members for being able to apply for I-485. This is GREAT news. Please please apply for your I-485 at the earliest. It would be best if your application reaches USCIS in the week of 2nd July. Here is the link to July Visa Bulletin:
http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/bulletin/bulletin_3258.html
Remember that you have to be in the country to apply for I-485. We may soon have lawyer�s information on our website to answer your questions in real time. Not sure till the time we get confirmation from the attorney but IV is working on this and may post this information soon.
This is GREAT development!!!!

Hi Libra,
Your post is good overall, However I dont think you know how stuff works. I dont think you have any clue how people got stuck in BEC.
You said ".. if a person with pd 2005 got approved and 2004 is stuck means there might be some problem with the case filing, if not yours.." for you information, in almost all cases, BEC cases are not even worked. In your example 2004 cases are not even worked on and 2005 cases are approved.
So the cases in BEC are not even worked on, hope you understand that there is nothing wring with the applications of people got stuck in BEC and that not the reason why they are in BEC.

Is there a way to calculate the number of visas used this year? and how many are remaining? Plus how many are waiting?
Getting too anxious:(
About 50k might be remaining visas alloted for EB2 India. These 50k are the spill overs from EB1, EB2 ROW and Family Based Unused Visas as well.
In July 2007 Fiasco there have been received about 300k 485 applications. And out of that Say 200k belongs to EB3 because in EB3 it includes India and ROW also. Where as In EB2 its only India and China. Because in EB2 ROW is already current. So I presume about 100k applications are from EB2 and waiting for visa numbers. So this year 50K spill overs +9,800 rgular allotment for EB2, totaled about 60k. So 60k of this year and next year clears off all EB2 applications and make EB2 dates current.

hang in there buddy, as others have already suggested just wait for the notice and file MTR. tough 10-15 days but after all this is over you will forget about it. I was in a similar state when I got a RFE on 140.
Hey guys
Just received email from CRIS regarding I-485 denial notice for both me and my wife.
I used AC21 after 9 months of filing I-485. My I-140 was approved before even filing I-485 in July fiasco.
My attorney promptly sent AC-21 and G-28 and i did see LUD on my and my wife's I-485 after that.
My previous company informed me sometime ago that they are going to revoke I-140 and probably they did and i am assuming that's what triggered this.
This is certainly a big damm mistake they did even after sending AC-21 docs and G-28.

I do undersatnd that these companies did not help you.. y don't u understand that we r not talking about u :) the statistics r these companies bring tens of thousands here every year from one country, yes on H1 or L1, not to sponsor them for greencards, but arriving here with a dual intent visa that allows for greencard application is not such a casual opportunity and that's what I'm telling you is rarely available to the equally qualified non-retrogressed folks. Once here, those thousands transfer to these small/mid size companies u mentioned and choose to stay and apply for greencards even though they know that with their huge numbers current rules will make their greencard journey longer..
Yes adjusting the quota percentages should be on the table, but if these companies hurt you by creating a longer line than the quota allows, , then you should take issue with these companies before you take it at your fellow non-retrogressed immigrants.
You're confusing the cause-and-effect. The country quota laws were put in MUCH earlier than any offshoring companies started doing H1s. It might in fact be the opposite, meaning that these companies are hiring qualified people who weren't getting GCs.
And besides these companies are all software cos that came up in the last 10 yrs, why should that stupid rule affect any person in a non-software field?
Yes we know that the current rules make the journey longer. The point is that it is unfair and that's why we should start trying to change it!
Basically it is very difficult to understand another person's pain. Especially when you're set up to gain from it.

Yes, I did. He is our company's attorney. He is very good and experienced attorney but he is too slow.
If you are looking for experienced attorney, go with him but if you are looking for faster service then look for someone else.
Does this attorney approachable ? Does he answer your phone calls ?
Does he promptly reply to your emails ? Does he clarify your doubts ?
Do you deal with him directly or does your company rep speak for you ?
How is his fees ? Is he expensive or affordable ?

I've been working with Christine Troy since 2003.
She helped me file H-1b extension twice, going for the 3rd time.
Filed RIR (approved), I-140 (pending) and I-485 just this week.
She does ALL the paperwork and doesn't have paralegals.
She keeps a modest office on Market St. at Powell, which is a convenient location. Doesn't charge much for consultations ($50-75).
And most of all she ALWAYS returns my e-mail within the same day or by next day. Better communication by e-mail than a phone call.
Very personable and great communication with my employer.

sagar_nyc, agreed. EB3 is a joke and even worst I have become a joker in front of all my friends who applied in EB2 cheating the system. Funny is, experience wise, I am well ahead of all those making fun of me but...:-(
too bad, eb3 does not even have a place to vent these days as IV forums and its thread only has discussions from EB2 members.
anyway, best of luck to everybody. the world is not fair, I am willing to fight my part to make it fair and just for all.

Alterego has a good point too. we need professional lobbist to organize more efficient events ( in American way ). we do have immigration lawyers association, but I guess they don't really represent us.
and besides another rally, we need persistent effort on this by a dedicated group of people, even some full time ( hired them, like a real job), to keep their attention, not just one strike.
I have to admire the unbelievable energy and commitment of you guys. Especially those who organized the rally and to some extent those who attended it from far away are probably tired and catching their breath!
We need to have some creativity and strategy in our next step. Rally after rally probably is not the best way to get that, the so called law of diminishing returns. The flower protest for example gave us a lot of visibility and media coverage since it was something intriguing and new. It was fairly inexpensive and got us the kind of coverage we wanted and arguably results that were out of size with the effort.
I think we need to think outside the box and have one more high publicity event. Another rally is certainly an option for later should legislative action heat up. I'm hopeful the upcoming legislation will allow someone to introduce friendly legislation. I am sure IV's lobbying advisers will have some input on timing etc. and I am pretty sure organizations like compete America etc. also will use this to push their efforts as well. IV core ought to be in contact with them.
A few very important things came from this rally. Firstly, that we can organize such an event, in no small part due to such a committed and capable leadership team. We got fairly good media coverage in highly visible newspapers, that covered not just the event but also some of the issues facing us in clear detail. Finally the lobby day events were definitely very good. I was amazed that 150 meetings took place.
To put this in context, large national organizations of some professions have these lobby days sometimes, and they do well to get about 100 lawmaker meetings done.
One thing I wish to add is that we must develop a good way of sending out many letters at will/as per the strategy of IV core to the lawmakers at critical times. We are 23K strong. Surely we can get atleast as many letters sent in to lawmakers at critical times. If you can't send a written petition to a lawmaker then I doubt it makes any sense to even think you or anyone can alter your fate, in that case time spent on sites like this is for what reason?
Professional organizations do letter campaigns all the time and get a good response. If everyone moves on these issues it does create a splash and can bring visibility and attention.
All ideas should be collected here in this thread.

My PD is Dec 2006. I got my EAD 15 days ago and the card is valid for 2 yrs. So the guy that approved my card doesn't believe Dec 2006 is a possibility this year!
You should be EB10 and not EB2! Some folks in this forum are really crazy!
There is no relationship between approval/duration of EAD and movement of PDs.
By the way, since India won all the previous encounters with Pak in world cups, India will win on Wednesday!
