The term "Priority Date" appeared 10 times in last Visa Bulletin.
I wonder how USCIS is able to follow Visa Bulletin, without understanding this term.
I will contribute $25, if we decide to go this route. However I agree with all who say that we should ask them to make this info available periodically & REGULARLY (so that it does not end up like updates on processing dates)

Guys, You can talk to your senators to help you in this situation. You need to sign a privacy release form and provide a letter explaining what happended. I heard from my freind that it worked before. So you can write to your senator about the situation and ask for help. I really don't know if it is goign to make a difference but i thought it is worth a try since we filed the application legally.

485 got approved for a coworker with out pd being current,he filed it in eb3,interestingly he went for info pass and the officer told they could do nothing about it.Mean while his h1b got rejected since he already has GC.Finally his lawyer dealt with the case it took 6-8 months to fix the issue.His EAD and Ap were expiring.

I�ve been laid off as of Friday last week.
My employer started laying off people an year ago and there were too many cycles so far. I was immune to all those layoffs until Friday. They eliminated everybody in my team, 15 people in total.
I am in the final stage of my GC and I have 2 year EAD. My H1 is expiring in March and my (ex) employer already paid my Attorney for the 3 year extension. They have decided to extend my H1 and paid for the expenses. But in the mean time, they were forced by the investors to show profitability and hence the layoffs.
My (ex) employer is based in Massachusetts and my Labor Certification was done from this location.
I have received job offers from some of my employer�s clients. However, they are based in other States (CO, OH & WA for instance) and they might not be able to do my H1. One of them is interested in hiring me on a contract basis, since they had frozen new hiring.
Is taking a job outside of Massachusetts impact my pending I-485? or Will it violate my Labor Certification conditions? I couldn�t find an answer for this anywhere.
Also, can I take contract jobs for the time being?
I sent out an email to my Attorney with all these questions. But, he is not available until Tuesday next week.
Please post your answers, comments and suggestions.
Thanks!
i work in mass too and i'm facing a similar situation..i'vent sent u a pm . pls look at it

First of all - THANK YOU. It's because of IV I am happy today with EAD cards on hand. I will never forget what IV did for me and thousands of GC applications in July. I can't forget the despair and the smiles IV brought back to our lives.
Probable reason - less motivated for couple of reasons which are already spelled out on this forum by others.
However I hoped to be part of rally towards the end. But couldn't. My parents came to USA last Friday. I did plan to combine my parents D.C tour with IV rally. But as such we happened to drop-in to D.C, unexpectedly, from Baltimore on Sunday itself. And on Tuesday 9/18 - all important day, we were busy packing to other attractions....
To Franklin -
Rally agenda - from the start, the D.C rally has not seemed need-based rally. San Jose rally and flower campaign were need-based. They were needed because USCIS ditched all July hopefuls. We were aghast and speech-less. So there was that burning-sensation in our tummies that took us to streets and greet the USCIS chief with bloody flowers!!
D.C rally has been strategic one. Somewhere in the beginning of the game, we pushed wrong buttons in marketing/selling the strategy or signing up people for the D.C rally. I remember very very few messages on the rally forums and tons and 100s of messages on "July 2" forum.
All senior fellows and the 1000+ members who made it to rally - have you surprised why there is NO 5000 - 10000 attendance.
Some more pointers to my thoughts -
> I can't associate all IV handles with real people easily.
> I don't know who is what (like in organizations we have people associated with certain responsibilities).
> Has anyone ever asked whether we should mention our association with IV in 485 application? And the repercussions?

In addition to monetary contributions, it would be helpful to call the office of your representative asking them to support the bills being proposed. The representative can be looked up by zip code (5+4 digits format) at this site http://www.house.gov/. If you reside in a representative's congressional district (based on zip code) you are his/her constituent.
Constituent's issues/calls/letters are given priority by the representatives over non-constituents. I became aware of this when participating in the recent lobbying activity. The more number of constituents that call, the more likely is the congressman to give importance to the common issues. The anti-immig groups have been doing this all the time. Now it is our turn to beat them with the strength of numbers.
Please contact the representative when the bills are being taken up. This is very important in order to get support for our issues.
More power to IV. Let's get this done.

I think bribing would mean IV paying people to come to the rally...! Here we ar eonly registering them...
On second thoughts, we could collect $30 or so for food and bring lunch packets.. and forget the reimbursement part..!
$30 will go towards food & water and also for organising the event!!

Impossible to catch up with you:)
But NORCAL did collect 92 over the last weekend. I collected 40 of those (takes me to 197), the reason to mention this is, it is way too easy for anyone to do this, and people better had strong reasons to not do it!

com 'on. H4 process is known as Dependent Visa. Let H4 prove the Credentials and Get H1 ..........
Yeah , For sure we all knew H4 is a dependant visa.
So we are denied work permit but we are not denied the freedom to ask or even lobby for changes in the Law.
But we didn't know that we are going to go through a painful process called Labor Certification which in our case is pending for more than 1675
days........
If all went well an H4 Spouse, who decides to get married to an H1B, would have faced an average of three year break in her career before she recieves her EAD. Now due to the huge backlog in Labor cert and the next awaiting Retrogression We are facing huge gaps of 7 to 10 yrs, which is almost unrecoverable, So IV Core pls understand and consider our issues as Real.
And getiing an H1 in fields other than Software is tough, but that does not mean that the person is incapable. An electrical engineer who had worked for 4 years previously in india in a well reputed firm was unable to get an H1b.
A Request to moderator : Please moderate posts which contain deregatory comments and words towards H4 Spouses.
Thanks

Yes, I mean, eventually they would get their citizenship. It takes few years, but they will get there.
Are you sure it is possible to sponsor your nieces, uncles etc if you are permanent resident? Don't you have to be a citizen to do that? I always thought you have to be a citizen to do that.

I got my EAD card earlier this week. My validity is 6/19/2008 -6/18/2009....it is the same day as I recieved EAD "approved" notice via the CRIS email. My "July Fiasco" EAD expires 9/16/2008.....so yes I lose 3 months!!!!
So much for applying early :(
appply early and lose time
apply late and risk not being able to work
lose- lose for us
win-win for USCIS.
we really need to make the retrogression a relic of the past...

I guess by the end of FY-11, EB2 cutoff will reach Dec 2006 or early 2007.. but movement from there on would be slow as many are started porting now.. In any case I don't there will be more than 10K porting per year.. If porting exceed more than 10K, EB2 progress will be slow.. Good luck to all

In my opinion, with this global economy - if the spouse is well educated and can work, there should be an opportunity for that person to work (atleast few hours per day).
Excellent point. I think that the heart of the issue is that the immigration system in US is stuck in stone age when the needs of a knowledge driven, global economy are considered. Every visa category denied a job is seen as having an American having a shot at that opportunity. This is a short sighted view: people that can be launching companies etc are sitting and waiting for a decision from an inefficient, ineffective and outdated bureaucracy.
But what do I know? I "knew the rules before I came here" :o

Please be considerate to your good employer and good attorney of yours. You do not want to burn bridges, when you leave. Give them at least 2-3 weeks notice. That is the least or at least work with them for 6 months since that is what the law would require you after getting GC.
