Hi i just checked my 140 online status is shows,

"On August 30, 2007, we shipped this approved or re-affirmed case to the Department of State for visa processing. For more information, please contact them directly."

Anna,

This is childish. Sorry!

LOL!

Funny that I am not upset at your questions, but are you really serious??

What were you thinking all this time when the rally was going on? Did you really think the lawmakers would sit together over a dinner yesterday and hand over a favorable decision in the breakfast next morning?

Just wait! If we don't get something favorable, we will do MORE and BIGGER.

...and next time, we'll also pick you up to the rally to carry our autograph books...hehe..just kidding.

According to the pattern the next one is due tomorrow,

Poor Guy

;) what do you expect if one has to keep two wives happy? :D

logiclife,

Your logic is beyond me. On one hand you seem to disagree with the practice of labor substitution but on the other hand you are more than happy to provide the recipe for it. Are you for it or against it. Or may be you are just trying to help an IV member.

It may be legal but should be discouraged to say the least.


Other than that, you will find a lot of hatred from this forum as what you are doing is very much inflaming since you are cutting in line -- legally so -- but still, its cutting in line. So dont be surprised by that.

I sincere hope Dream act pass. Illegal kids suffer more. Our suffer less. Parents made mistake. Why they pay?

Please don't open your mouth...it really really stinks :)

I am not sure what a_to_z_Gc is looking for more details, but I would like to now if your case was transferred from NSC to CSC and back.
Those whose cases have transferred back to NSC have not received the FP notices. I would like to know if your case was transferred back to NSC.

when did u get ur reciept?

if they want to get it done they wud have, we think repubs try to divide and win but dems are masters doing that, just dont believe dems atleast more than repubs

Can we change the title of this thread to:-

Immigration Voice/Gandhigiri in News (or Limelight)

:rolleyes:

Dude you can convert from CP to AOS even after filing for CP. Your CP can be canceled. Vise-versa is more complicated. Even murthy.com had some write up on this. Go search their website.

Talk to a lawyer and stop cribbing here. Your situation is nothing different from others.


Internet/ssnd03,

I would like to clarify few things on behalf of CP filers:

1. Taking CP or 485 route is a personal decision and none of the CP filers have to justify you guys especially when you do not have a pragmatic approach to this issue.

2. If CP filers were not contributing to IV because they were not seeing any benefit out of IV efforts; what do you expect from CP filers to win your kind heart? Contribute in every single way even knowing that IV would do nothing to CP filers? How many such great souls do we have among 485 filers who are here just to get their GC sooner (which means I am not talking about volunteers who have GC but still helping IV - kudos to you guys).

Tell the 485 filers that IV will only take care of members whose PD is over 3 or 4 years old and see how many of those birds will still be on the IV tree!

3. There is no sin, stupid logic in CP filers (who are already in the USA) asking for a provision like EAD. And, CP filers are asking for it just because of the severe retrogression we are in. And they would not have asked for it if there was a separate VISA numbers pool available for CP filers.

You are (or were) just a beneficiary in this system like every one else. CP or 485, every one have equal right to bring up their issue to the Govt.

485 guys want to speed up the name check, multiple year EAD, AP, increase visa numbers to infinity, remove per country limit, make EB2 current just because you guys made a decision to go with EB2 assuming that would be a faster queue. you guys even change EB3 to EB2 to speed up application and even sue USCIS!!! And all this are fair!!!

But a guy should not opt to go for CP assuming that would be a faster queue. Even if he/she does, should not come back and ask for ANY benefits even if the queue comes to a stand still for a decade because of all the July filers!

If the core members come and out and say that IV is only for 485 filers or only for those who have made contribution, then CP filers would take a stand.

Until then, chill out and do not show your frustrations on CP guys.

god_bless_you

I am not sure what the issue is with your account. I know Siva has been really busy. Can you, as a quick fix, create a new account and fax from that?

Thanks

Isn't concurrent filing still available?

At one point, there was concurrent filing. Just get LC approved and file for I-140 and I-485. Even if dates are not current. Then these filings were seperated. Then retrogression kicked in.

Now these GCs are getting aproved. So, don't worry.

I saw the doc great work and thanks for putting in teh effort.

So in layman terms can you please explain, how many EB3 visas are allocated per month or per year and how many are necessary as per your doc, that will atleast help us understand how slow its gonna move,

are we talking about 15 days in one visa bulletin movement for EB3 or 30 days (1month) movement in one visa bulletin.

If we can do this , then we can predict how long it would take?

i am not happy :( !!

i could have done something better than a sad grey unpopulated castle with good shadows ..
oh well .. i will next time :bad:

close to $500 excluding lawyers fees( i dont know how much company paid) .But the sad thing is I made my aged parents and in-laws run for affidavits /scanning etc in heavy rains .

Dont worry after teh CIRcus in senate for the last feweks..I think no one will dare touch the immigration issue until 2008 Pres Eelctions now...This bill will defintely die away.

I believe, This will create some pressure on Strive Act.....

But consider this: I just posted this in the approval thread:

Looking at the overall approval trend in IV, , Murthy forum etc it is clear to me that FIFO is out of the door and in most likelihood low hanging fruit is being plucked from the tree. At the next Ombudsman call I am going to raise the issue of USCIS's declared commitment to FIFO but actions that seem completely contrary to it.

Obviously anonymous postings in open forums cannot be presented as evidence but one can certainly request the Ombudsman's office to ask for monthly 485 approval statistics and the cat will be out of the bag. By the time the wheels of Goverment bureaucracy move it might be a month or two before this data is made available to the Ombudsman's Office; forget the applicants - that will be like asking for the moon.

Regardless of whether I get approved or not in the next month or two; from a process perspective a monthly approval report going from the USCIS to the Ombudsman's Office each month should hopefully force them to stop this stonewalling and walk the talk.

This will not only help EB2s down the line but spare a thought for next year when EB2 is current, EB3 has a cut off of June 1, 2006 and we start seeing May 2006 EB3 approvals when 2001/02 EB3s are still pending. Again I welcome suggestions but the focus of my effort is going to be the approval process rather than a personal case or two.

Good idea delax. I support this action.

I tried to contact the attorney so badly until Aug 16th, but he never responded. I was able to get hold of him only on Aug 17th. I guess he was directed by my employer so.

We got FP notices for me & my wife on 01-25-08. Finger printing date is Feb 6th, 2008. Same date, same time for both of us. Just perfect!

We filed our I-485 application/EAD/AP on July 6th, 2007.
Ours is a transferred case (NSS-CSC-NSC).

Did not open any service request.

Looks like they started processing transferred cases.
People who have been waiting should be getting their FP notices now.

Contributed $300 so far..
i think it depends where u r.

on friday when i went for my code 2 fingerprinting for my ead, i was the only one there for greencard/ead type biometrics.

everyone else, atleast 50-80 people were there at the same time for their N-400 (citizenship) biometrics.

i think they are processing the citizenship applications with full speed to lower the 18 month processing timeframe. everyone over there was a pre July 31st filer, when the citizenship fees increase took place.
