Yes, I got a CD from USCIS with all my I-140. I requested for copy of I-140 approval notice corresponding to I-140 tracking number SRC.XXXXXXXXXXX. This is the same number I got from my employer for online tracking on USCIS website. It took over 4 months. I submitted this as soon as got approval on my I-140. If you dont have the tracking number, you may try to get your A# from employer or attorney. You can use the same reason that you are changing address or that you need it for visa stamping. I believe they ask for A# in visa interview form.
I have heard that few people got the tracking number using Infopass. Not sure how. I would suggest, that do not delay. Submit the FOIA form with whatever info you have. They might be able to pull your records based on the SSN# or I-94# etc. No harm in trying. I didnt had A#, so I left it blank.
Hi,
Can you tell me how long it it took for you to get the CD from the time the status changed to "your request has been processed"? Mine got processed on 02/07/2011 but I still havent received the CD. Today is 03/22/2011.
Thanks

These USINPAC folks are shameless creatures who will take credit for the sun shining tomorrow morning. Lets send this guy Sanjay Puri, Robinder Sachdev and his fraudsters team a dictionary so that he knows how to spell IMMIGRATION correctly even if he has some malicious thoughts and actions in his mind. All they are good at is to do photo oppotunities and do these frauds where they claim to have worked or be working on an issue. I can also do the fund raisers and get photos taken. But there is where it stops with USINPAC. The politicians walk away with the money and turn their back on them and these guys start looking for the next politician to do a fund raiser for and get photo opportunity. How much more foolish can this get??

oh yeah ...well atleast it helped someone. btw did you get your $2.00 payout :-) from bear stearns. the problem comes when senior members have the my way or the high way attitude. and for ordinary folks like us the "My way" attitude is not producing any visible results. and I guess since you are out of work now since BS is no longer there --can you come up with a better approach ??
albertpinto, "Senior Members" are just ordinary members like everybody else except they have posted more than 100 times. IV has an agenda and list of action items, and we all members need to actively participate. The outcome no body can guarantee because there are so many political interests and people pulling and pushing the immigration debate everywhere. However, the more we keep on pressing for our needs and educating the general population and the lawmakers about our situation, the more likely we will get help.
Its not like the IV core has things written on stone. They do listen to ordinary members like us but there isn't enough resources to engage in every "good idea". They best way to participate is through state chapters, and let the IV core know through the state chapters. At the end, we need volunteers to do the things we want to do.

why ? ask your kids to do same and see what you feel on that night. can your kids do same ? forget about torturing or anything for a moment. Didn't you see Nupur Lala a past winner where she is now ? if she was torture for that competition she would n't be in MIT. its a competition of brain power to me.
I will never ask them to participate in the Spelling beeeeeee. Also I won't never compell my kids to always study study and Read books... . But I will encourage them to participate in extra curricular acitivities too. Please note that getting in MIT or IIT or getting a GC is not life. Let the kids enjoy their life

The problem here is not the immigration system it is sheer number of people who want to become permanent residents . The queues in Canada and Australia are far far far smaller so the point system works smoothly. The main disadvantage of the point based immigration system is that if the people in the line increase, the points will be immediately be increased so that fewer qualify .Then there will always be people like Lou Dobbs who will say that "potential immigrants will get points only if they make 240K a year and are 25 years of age". The UK is also restricting people by increasing the point based system. Now people who make 35,000 GBP a year do not get any points in the HSMP. The age also has been decreased in HSMP. So the point based system works where the queues are smaller unlike the US. The risks of point based system getting changed everyday are far larger than the US based system , which gives Green cards without any hard and fast numbers like salary , age and qualifications .

This is my thought process (also referred by Ron G):
July 2007 brought in approximately 500K 485 cases.
We do not know how many cases were pending as of June 2007.
Fiscal year 2007-2008 USCIS used over 140K EB VISA numbers (I think it was around 155K).
Fiscal year 2008-2009 USCIS will use atleast 140K EB VISA numbers
so, 500K - 300K = 200K.
Assuming USICS approval rate is 85%; 75K of 500K are denied.
200K - 75K = 125K EB cases pending from the July 2007 cases.
Additions: from all current categories - may be 25 K in 2 years?
So, 150 K plus whatever that was pending as of June 2007.
So next fiscal year, 2009 if USCIS uses the quota 140 K, most or all of the 2007 filings will be cleared. If not EB3 I, definitely EB2 I and C, EB3 ROW will be cleared.
Depending on new filings, EB3 I might retrogress but retrogression might come within 3-4 years instead of current 8 years.
I strongly believe, beginning Jan 2010, dates for EB2 (I and C) will move forward heaps and bounds followed by EB3 ROW.
"Law is an ass".
One potential loophole (I realize it could be wishful thinking on our part) is how the current law is interpreted. Let's say USCIS interprets the current law in such way that preadjudcated cases have to be approved before taking in new cases, then the country cap hurdle could be overcome without legislation.
With the current economic situation, tightening of PERM, etc new EB-2 row applications are likely to slow down further. At the most, new approvals will have to be delayed by 12 months or less.
Could it be legally challenged? Could someone bring a lawsuit to force USCIS to stop issuing GCs to people who have been waiting 10+ yrs or more? possible. I doubt anyone can force them to cancel the already issued GCs.
Then USCIS could say they have enough preadjudicated cases, and are not able to adjudicate until they clear the backlog.;)
For the politicians and USCIS this is a much better way to handle India EB backlog than to "issue several hudred thousands of foreign laborers immigrant visas when American citizens are losing jobs in millions" through recapture bill.
I feel like I just wrote a short story.:)

What we need this time around is a basic introductory article describing the Green Card journey to the general public overseas.
What do you mean by GC Journey? Do you mean the various USCIS stages (labor, I-140, I-485, ...) in the GC process? If yes, I can do that. However, I am not sure when it will get done. What is your deadline?

Sorry to hear about your experience. I personally have used AP three times within one year. Two trips to India were of 6 weeks and 4 weeks duration and one to Canada for 4 days. I have never faced any problem, having used three different entry points. During my latest entry just a couple of weeks back I wasn't even asked any question at all. In fact my GC was approved while I was out of the country. Just your bad luck to run into this officer, I guess.

Yes, there are laws that protect you regardless of your immigration status but how many H1 workers (who btw are non-immigrants, not immigrants) can we find here who have actually gone to the courts? Protection is really limited for an h1 worker. Your status in the country depends on your employer what are the chances you will sue the employer?
Quote by user somegchuh: "I think this is a very interesting topic. Neelima's story is about an American citizen of Indian origin. Since, she is an american she can choose to go to courts whereas we are non-immigrants with very few rights. If you are facing abuse at workplace the only solution for an H1B worker is to change jobs."
Even if you are an immigrant but as long as you are subject to the law of UnitedStates you have every right to fight discrimination and other actions that you percieve are illegal. Even Illegal immigrants can do that. It is there in one of the ammendments.

[FONT="Microsoft Sans Serif"]From numerous visits to USCIS facilities, the Ombudsman has observed that adjudicators prefer to work on the cases that are easiest to complete. Adjudicators pick the �low hanging fruit� first because supervisors base performance evaluations on the number of cases completed. Consequently, adjudicators put aside the most difficult and time-intensive cases. These cases remain pending, perhaps for years, while backlog reduction appears generally to be succeeding.
Is there any information on what an "easy" case is?

This is my third post regarding this topic. I have made my contibution and urged all my friends to do the same. [B]Can we sell some add space[B]. If we can have more broad immigartion related topics like proceesing times, more people visit and we can probably sell some add space
Raju,
Thanks for your input.
We haven't ignored the suggestion about selling ad space.
IV is not yet a very high traffic portal. Usually ad space prices range from a dollar to couple dollars (if that!) for every 10,000 impressions. So this may not be a practical thing to do, given the very low returns for the associated effort.
But thanks a lot for your contribution

I think your plan may work out just fine. I would make a couple of suggestions:
1. If you are taking LOA from original employer, for practical purposes (for USCIS), you are not employed with that employer any more (they go by pay stubs). But if doing so helps to avoid revocation of 140, go ahead and do it that way.
2. Because you will actually get your pay check from new employer, you are employed by them (and you will work on EAD with them, make sure that this is mentioned on your I-9 form). No matter how much ignorant your employer is, they will have to have I-9 on file and it must have your EAD (not H1).
3. After doing this, you will be on I 485 pending status (no longer on H status), and so make sure you have current EAD and AP all the time.
4. If something goes wrong with your I 485 (very unlikely); you will have to leave the country and enter back on H visa and work for H visa sponsoring employer (probably your old employer).
5. It is perfectly fine to not file AC21. AC21 is needed only if you do not plan to join original sponsoring employer after GC approval. However, if you do want to file AC21, you do not need much documentation from your new employer. It just needs the simple letter stating your job position as a "physician" and brief job duties (briefer the better!) and salary (should be proportional or higher). If you do not file AC21, you may just keep that documentation on file with your attorney (which I would do to be on safe side). The implication of having this is as follows:
--If you have this documentation (even if not filed with USCIS), at the time of approval of your GC you will have the option of just staying with new employer or going back to original employer.
--If you do not have this, you will have to go back to original employer after GC approval with a "good faith intention of permanent job".
PM me if you have questions about what I said above, and I will be happy to talk to you.
Good Luck.
FYI -- what is I-9 and what does the employer need to do for that?

Can anyone tell me how to open an SR so that I can expedite my application on the basis of financial loss. I have applied for AP in august 2010 and I have travel plans in 1st week of December. Thanks in advance.
