What end result you think would be?
There are several benefits to media coverage.
You create awareness and build alliances.
You give the other party (in this case congress) an opportunity to correct the problem.
You get reporters to do additional investigate work that may help you build a case (This has already happened).
You have an opportunity to correct public misconceptions, such as that all ITIN filers are illegal aliens, and thereby reduce the chance that the public will support such action in the future.

Even mine is EB2 with level II. I did not see a single case from my company with Level III or Level IV but still a lot of them are EB2.
My 140 approval says: Mem of Profession w/Adv Deg, or Exceptional ability Sec 203 (b) (2).
My understanding: this is EB2.
exactly same thing with me...

Employer 2
MAR-2005 to MAR-2008
Employer X
JUL2006 to JUL-2009
Applied 485 in JUL-2007
Applied EAD in JUL-2007 along with 485. Valid from 09-2007 to 09-2008
Applied another EAD in 2008 before 1st EAD expires, which is good until 2010
thank you.
Great!
With this info, your attorney can easily demonstrate that you were authorized to work for "Employer 2" at all times since last entry in the USA until date of filing for I-485.
There is nothing to worry about, IMHO.
Good Luck.

Matthew OH is playing with words since yesterday. I am not even sure if he knows what he is talking about. Did you guys read the stuff about 485 filing. The phrase "Untangling the tangled mess" was mentioned 3-4 times. After reading his notices, one has to wonder what the heck is he talking about.

Hi,
I was not able to find a good answer for my question below from the search, so I posting again.
•Is the Service Center processing dates based on Received Date or Notice date on the I 485 Receipt Notice??
Received date
•Also I see many times people talking about Receipt Date is it Received date or Notice Date On the I 485 Receipt Notice??
Received date.

If you file today it will be past october when you have to choose between EB2 and EB3 (I485 stage for EB2) till that time you have both the process going on EB2 and EB3.
If you start EB2 process in October it will take 6 to 9 months to clear labor and I 140..
It is taking average of 1 year for I140. And there is a possibility of PERM audit , which can derail all your plans.

Re: Open Response for EB2vsEB3:
I think US need smart working people not software only working people. Most of these so called software programmers are not really skilled workers. I've seen anyone with little education can do their jobs. If anyone is suffering b'coz of EB3 i think they should consider different profession and be happy.

I think many of us go through these kind of tragedy. One of my friends got laid off last month and his employer did not give him the letter to file I-485. Now he is back to the line where he was way back in 2000. He has to start his whole immigration process all over again. This guy lost job twice just before he could adjust his status. He is in USA from over 10 years now and he holds nothing but a PD of 2002. There is nothing in US Immigration Law to protect folks like him. What a shame to the US Immigration system.
This may happen to many of us, not only on the job front, anywhere down the line, untill we get our Green Card. For example, what if USCIS reject our application at the end moment, or else what if USCIS deny our I-485 for a reason beyond our control; there are tons of reasons, our life is shaky until we get our green cards.
Would that be nice if we ask something to protect us just like AC 21? For several folks, even to get to the stage of AC21 is a big milestone. Is it not the time to ask congress to protect all H1-B holders who play by rules and who are here over 10 years, with something similar to AC21? When they can consider giving green cards for those undocumented who are here since only 2005, what we legals ask for; besides just play by the rules and stand in the line and leave everything at the mercy of the adjudicator?
There should be some protection for those who come under these unforeseen clutches of law, besides fighting for mere retrogression.

How likely is to get an approval (or an rfe for paystubs?) before 180 days.

Following the July2 fiasco, my 140 was sent to TX Service Center on July 10, received by them on July 11.
Not received Receipt notice yet. Anyone else who filed with TxSC in July get a receipt yet? Does only the lawfirm get a receipt or also the employer? How long has it been taking TxSC to send receipt notice in the month of July? llot of discussion about NSC but I didn't see any mention of TXSC.
My lawyer tells me there may be some clarification from USCIS next week about filing 485 with just a receipt number (from a cleared check) or with proof of Fedex delivery; for now confusion prevails about whether or not such a 485 application will be rejected. Lawyer is not sure if cleared checks will reach them before 4 weeks from the bank. They don't seem able/willing to find the eCopies of the checks on the bank website. Some people mentioned employer sends the check, i think the lawfirm does?
Wonder if anyone has any views on refiling 140, but concurrently with a 485 this time? Has anyone tried this? Does the Labor certification letter you personally got not count as original LC? Only the one sent to lawyer counts as orig?
Does USCIS callcenter entertain any calls to find out receipt number after 15 days? Anyone have a specific number for TX SC?

I hope you understand that Bigtime's post was thickly laced with sarcasm.
I admire your courage to stand up and apologise. I wish you all the best, and I hope they lift the ban. You are the type of people we need. Be positive, there is a line for green cards and I didn't know people can jump the line. I need to concurrently file so I can get an EAD. I've been sitting at home for several years as a dependent. And after that I will stand in line with the rest for a green card. All the best and I hope to see you again. Pls don't make this your last posting

Jaime, your thought of having one more rally in Silicon Valley is a good one but again you are going to have the same crowd..!!
People in neighbouring states of DC did not make it , you tthink they will make it all the way to west coast! very doubtful!!
We should aim at bringing in more people to this family as possible..
Looks like a simultaneous rally on a weekend will be very effective!
And this time for the rally we will carry one one slogan banners
'SHORTEN THE WAIT FOR LEGAL IMMIGRANTS' or something similar!
just a thought!
You are right rajsand..we can make more people to rally by oranizing the Rally duing the week ends and also that we need to make sure to have some Volunters to get in touch with the IV members through e-mail or by calling them which ever is convinet to make sure weather they are attending the rally or not..if yes collect their names and contact info.. in that way we can estimate that how many people will be attending the rally and we can plan accordingly to infrom some news channels to cover the rally in that way we can able to get more media publicity...it's just my thought..what do you guys say?

All fair arguments. I went through similar emotions, but I tend to agree with Alias. It is best to correct if there was any error.
In my case, all I got was the Welcome letter and then a temporary I-551 stamp. The officer at InfoPass told me that it was approved and he was going to order the plastic card ,and there is no sign of it yet. Of course, it is their mistake that I am not able to renew my EAD since my status on their system is permanent resident. I wanted to renew EAD when it was about to expire a few months ago, but there is no place in the form to write in a PR status (and, of course, that would have been strange as well). So, I expect them to make amends for their mistake. Ideally, they should pay for my $2,500 attorney fees as well, but I guess, that is too much to hope for! I honestly had completely stopped tracking the visa bulletin and this was an unwanted reminder of how sorry the state of legal immigration is.
I still don't know what had happened and that is what I am trying to find out. May be, mine was correctly approved!
