My understanding is that local office would not open a service request. But they could request interim EAD. Since they no longer produce it locally they have to request some service center to issue one.

In my humble opinion, it would be damaging to IV's goals to participate or otherwise support a lawsuit that would anger the very people that they are lobbying.
I'm not saying that the idea is not without merit, it just wouldn't be appropriate for IV to participate.

It is good to see the combined Immigration community efforts are bringing results. However, it appears that no attention is being paid to raise the issue of children ageing out because of visa retrogression and delay in labor clearance. The Child Status Protection Act(CSPA) passed in the year 2002 hardly provides any relief to I-140 based immigration petitions. While for I-130 (for US Citizens) applicants the date of child is frozen on the date of submission of I-130 form it-self, but for employment based immigrant applicants this Act provides a complicated way to calculate the child�s age and it just provides relief for any processing delays in 1-140 clearance only. It just ignores the fact that we have years of retrogression for employment-based category. At the time when this act was passed there was no retrogression in employment-based category and lawmakers perhaps never thought of hardship, which children and families may face because of the retrogression.
We need to raise our voice on this issue too. My son is going to miss out the chance of getting his green card just because his age works out as per formula given in CSPA Act to be 21 years and 12 days � because of 12 days my family may be penalized to be separated from our child whereas no one is going to consider 3 years delay in labor case in my case and then another 13 months we have to wait for filing 1485 after approval of I-140. Mine case was the most unfortunate in the sense that I got my I-140 approval in just 29 days whereas in all cases the normal time is 3-6 months. Had it taken 2 months, my son would have got the benefit under CSPA.
I hope some one from Immigration Voice leadership team will take a lead to highlight such issues also before the law makers.
Sorry to hear your son is going to fall into what I can only describe as a black hole that the system choosed to totally ignore. I faced this situation a year and a half ago and transferred my son to an F1 student visa. As long as he is registered for 12 credit hours in college he gets to stay in the US. This is NOT a long term solution but there are few options available. We have to hope that somebody somewhere who can change things will finally see this as a problem and act on our behalf. I have contacted dozens of senators, congressmen etc etc and in all but two cases did not even get an acknowledgment.

I was wondering if any one in the core or other members think about the next step towards getting citizenship after passing the hurdles of getting the green card. If a person is here for 10 years and then get his green card (average period), then he need to wait for another 5 years to get the citizenship. 15 years for this process in a person's life is too much.
IV Core can push or lobby for a law which can make the person a US citizen, if he is living in US for 10 years legally without any issues and paying taxes for the entire period. It is just my idea.
I am surprised, but are you really a member of the "high skilled" community or are you just faking it to be on this forum?
I don't think you should embarrass your self or your profession, though we do not know your identity.

This is what I call "tailoring message to our own needs". Lets take your example and I will do the same for you.
USCIS certainly has a report by RD and lets say they are providing that report to the congress or the Senate. What would you see in the report ? There will be applications backlogged for years especially EB3 I. Just in my case, the 485 has been pending for more than 6 years. Anyone who wants to look in to the performance of an organization would want to know how well they are doing and USCIS has to show that they have applications backlogged for more than 6 years and cannot process them because of the unavailability of the visa numbers. Would that look good on them ?
All big companies use both EB2 and EB3. We cannot justify one over the other with-out understanding the data. Again as far my understanding goes, I believe Bill Gates is a big proponent of H1Bs than getting his employees permanent residency.
I beleive you are selectively highlighting facts. Forgive me if I am wrong but there are two issues here
1) Applications Pending by PD
2) Applications Pending by Category (EB 2 & EB3)
Now yes I agree a congress man can ask like how come I see Eb3 app from 2001 pending with you since 2001. Which means 8+ years. With Spillover to Eb3 the dates max go to 2002 so the question would be app pending for 7+ years
With moving EB2 they can least claim that they have moved an entire category to current. Is that right or wrong is entirely a personal question but it is a valid argument from their side. Also look at it this way Eb1 I & Eb2 I currently have a gap of 4 years. and EB2 & Eb3 have a gap of 4 years as well.

Today's count is 129. Only 129 members have signed up for monthy contrbutions till now.
We also currently have more than 200 users on the forum reading this post.
You may think that your contribution does not matter as long as others contribute. You may think that your contribution cannot change anything. ... If you think so, then you are wrong.
Your contribution is critical to this organization! You contribution is important to yourself--the legal immigrant!
Let me tell you what will happen if you don't contribute now:
With the number of people who have contributed stabilizing at a low level, IV's lobbying will be very very limited.
Then people who have contributed would feel disappointed.
Sooner or later, those people would withdraw their contribution.
Eventually IV will be closed.
From then on, you, who don't contribute now, will have no organization to speak up for you.
From then on, you will complain your situation in your company, seeing your peers get promoted while you get stuck in the same position because of your GC application.
...
Maybe, at that time, you will say to yourself, "if I have contributed to IV in that special year, if all people like me have contributed, we would have get our GCs. Then, maybe, my life would have been totally different..."
Let me also tell you what you can lose if you contribute.
Your immigration status will NOT become worse, if it cannot get better.
The only thing you will lose is about $200 or less if you contribute $20/month. It will happen this year or never! If it does not happen this year, you can always withdraw your subscription.
I believe many people would pay $20,000 to buy a GC if possible. If IV brings 1% chance to help pass the bill, $200 is a very fair price! Besides, I believe the opportunity cost for people who has no GCs is probably more than $20,000 a year, considering a potential promotion or a job change. For those people, don't you think $200 is a very reasonable price to buy yourself a 1% chance?
Besides, the chance that IV brings to us is much much higher than 1%!
You are all high skilled workers. You can do this math very well!
So come one! Make contribution now or you may have no chance to make this great deal!

I think BPC and new case PERM is same, if it is same position then employer has to withdraw the first case as of DOL new FAQ, if it different position then shouldn't have to withdraw the case, possibly audited by the DOL as of above explained rule..... If the case is audited how long it usually take DOL to decide,
For 2nd Case should we file by mail, providing certain reason with the application?
I personally know someone who got BPC labor approved in Eb3, then applied for Eb2 for same position , only difference was his first company was bought by another company and he applied Perm with 2nd company.

Chanduv - I am assuming you are asking "How do I start with walking/ running?". Here is what it takes to do this
- The first step is Commitment to your Health and Wellness. This can be achieved by putting away 30 - 45 minutes three to four times a week. That could be at lunch, evenings, mornings whatever time is suitable for you.
- The next one is consistency. You do not have to Jump start today by walking/ running 45 minutes, 5 times a week. If you can only do that for 30 minutes twice a week that is fine but you have to be consistent with it. You get addicted to it after a while and increase the time. You also do not have to run marathon's to be healthy and active.
You can start walking and you can set yourself a goal of walking 1 miles or 3.1 miles (5K) by a certain date. There are several races in the Tristate Area that you can choose to paricipate. you can find an event on runnersworld.com or active.com or we (Team IV) can help you find a local event. you can recruit your friends/ family to participate as well. If you can get a few folks in the Tristate chapter to do this as Team IV that will be awesome.
Also please let us know if you need any help/ guidance etc in finding an event and getting started with walking/ running. We will be Glad to help you out in anyway.
Folks, sorry I have not been in much action, with other stuff taking priority, but I would definitely like to know what it takes to do this? I have completely lost fitness due to bad lifestyle, long commutes to work, working spouse, small baby, and other tensions and I like this idea a lot.
Nolaindian - can you briefly explain how this marathon works? Does every city have a marathon to which we register, is it a community? Who sponsers? Do we do it as IV? Do we all form a group. Are the rules set by us? Do we pledge????
I can definitely start off with a short one - until I pick up on fitness :) Tri state members are more than welcome to join me :)

I am currently on H1B visa. My understanding is that as long as my H1B is thru my employer it is perfectly legal to start/buy/partner in a company .... as long as I do not withdraw a pay check from that company. Furthermore, as long as I am maintaining my legal status thru my American employer, it would be legitimate to sponsor an H1 for my wife, hire her in the company I own. If some one could clarify ..... is my understanding flawed ? Please provide examples/experiences. Any relevant input would be great.
Another related question was if I change my status after starting my company to F1 .... would that be fine ? Or after I change my status to F-1, would it be fine to start my own firm/company/partnership/practice (PA/LLC/PLLC) and then transfer my wife's H-1 B in this newly created entity. FYI .... This new entity would be perfectly legitimate PA/LLC/PLLC with solid revenues/earnings/5-10 american employees .... and my wife would be fully qualified to work in this entity as a highly compensated employee providing US govt with a lot of taxes .... all done by my savings AND/OR bank loans.
On another note, if I change my status to H4(dependent on my wife's H1) instead of F1, would the same hold good. My wife's full time H1 B would be thru an american employer. My PA/LLC/PLLC just sponser her part time H1 (2nd H1) .... you guessed it .... to start her permanent residency process. FYI .... Both of us are waiting for priority dates to get current to file I-485 .... both of us have I-140 approved from our respective employers as of now. This is an attempt to get out of their yoke and gain freedom as much as possible in these trying circumstances.
Gurus, your expert opinion would be invaluable. Please comment.

I would recommend converting regular I-140 into premium processing and get the approval at the earliest. Then file 485 ASAP. No one knows if the date will forward or backward in coming visa bulletins.
1.I got labor and 140 approved under EB3( Company A)
2.Through different company(Company B) perm labor applied under eb2 and approved and 140 applied ( still pending)
3. used portability of priority date but 140 still pending( eb3 to eb2)
Now my priority date is current under eb2 but my 140 is pending through company B ( porting PD from company A)
is it possible to apply 485 through company B? even 140 not approved
thanks for your help.

If there is anything targeted for any small group...I am sure other will not accept whatever may be the reason. Everyone desperately wants to get out of this mess. I don�t think freeing up the queue theory will help. That�s the reality.
For the shake of argumennt let me ask you...If I get my GC, it will free up one GC in line. Will you accept that and support this. This is the question in everyone's mind now.
United we stand...divided we fall.
Short answer: of course i will.
Divided, we fall if no one is willing to let another pass for the 'whatever maybe' reason. USCIS is very unlikely to let the gate open for everyone.
At the same time, i know folks who have got their GCs applying after me, because they could (apply) in another category. i only feel Happy about them.
My question is not why they could get it before me, but What reasons USCIS may accept to ease up the queue for us all. It does not seem probable, that they will ease it up all at once. If a certain group is not subjected to the quota - say PhDs (although i do not qualify), it will help my cause as much as others in the wait.
