Hi Dinesh,
I am a physician myself who served j1 waiver and on AOS from 7/07. My son is a going to be a senior in High School this year. Why did you have a problem with state college apps on AOS/EAD?
Vina,
I had intended to respond to your post, but ended up with a different one. Do take a look at my post, sent a few minutes ago, about college admissions on AOS, and the related tuition issues.
Best of luck

hi, just now both the faxes sent. one more small suggestion, correct me if i am wrong, also in addition to contacting the employers, can we contact good immigration lawyers like Berry Appleman and Leiden (www.usabal.com), rajiv khanna, murthy.com, sheila, aila.org, ohio immigration (www.immigration-law.com) etc and ask them to send this fax on their letter pads on behalf of IV. my 2 cents..
thanks.
thanks.

I m surprised why this was not discussed with USCIS. Quarterly spill over reduces the waiting time, and also ensures a fair way of doing spillover. If the rules state it should be practiced and it has not been done till now it is something that IV can easily convince USCIS to practice quarterly spillover with its contacts.EB2 I will remain same
EB3 I will move little bit...
Hoping for the Jan bulletin if at all any qurterly spillover.....
some one from Immigration Voice should get the info USCIS regarding thequrterly spillover.

I think it all started in 2007. As you guys know there were mass applications filed in 2007 from everyone who were current including EB2/ROW/I/C and EB3 /ROW/I/C.
Just my Honest Opinion.
Well said. Its absolutely true and makes sense. But to delay, it appears that some processes in the agency may be done manually. Otherwise mere increase in number of applications should not cause adverse impact to processing time. I am saying this based on my personal experience working for the state gov. with unemployment benefit system where the claims increased by 3 time, last year...and there was not much of an impact with regards to delaying in printing of checks every week. Only the batch jobs ran longer....but everything was streamline in couple of weeks after the spike.

The backlog of visa applications is a significant issue. It has been written about previously, and the USCIS has faced a good deal of criticism over it. Here is one piece of such criticism: Migration Information Source - USCIS Faces Criticism over Visa Backlog (http://www.migrationinformation.org/USfocus/display.cfm?id=665)

Voting multiple times is not allowed, so this is going to be hard to track.
eg. If I vote right now that i have contacted congressman, I won't be able to come back and change my vote when the congressman sends the letter out.

What is the Federal Government's role in COBRA?
COBRA continuation coverage laws are administered by several agencies. The Departments of Labor and Treasury have jurisdiction over private-sector health group health plans. The Department of Health and Human Services administers the continuation coverage law as it affects public-sector health plans.
The Labor Department's interpretive and regulatory responsibility is limited to the disclosure and notification requirements of COBRA. If you need further information on your disclosure or notification rights under a private-sector plan, or about ERISA generally, telephone EBSA's Toll-Free number at: 1.866.444.3272, or write to:
U.S. Department of Labor
Employee Benefits Security Administration
Division of Technical Assistance and Inquiries
200 Constitution Avenue NW, Suite N-5619
Washington, DC 20210
The Internal Revenue Service, Department of the Treasury, has issued regulations on COBRA provisions relating to eligibility, coverage and premiums in 26 CFR Part 54, Continuation Coverage Requirements Applicable to Group Health Plans. Both the Departments of Labor and Treasury share jurisdiction for enforcement of these provisions.
The Center for Medicare and Medicaid Services offers information about COBRA provisions for public-sector employees. You can write them at this address:
Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services

Mail Stop C1-22-06
Baltimore, MD 21244-1850

I am a federal employee. Can I receive benefits under COBRA?
Federal employees are covered by a law similar to COBRA. Those employees should contact the personnel office serving their agency for more information on temporary extensions of health benefits.
Am I eligible for COBRA if my company closed or went bankrupt and there is no health plan?
If there is no longer a health plan, there is no COBRA coverage available. If, however, there is another plan offered by the company, you may be covered under that plan. Union members who are covered by a collective bargaining agreement that provides for a medical plan also may be entitled to continued coverage.
How do I find out about COBRA coverage and how do I elect to take it?
Employers or health plan administrators must provide an initial general notice if you are entitled to COBRA benefits. You probably received the initial notice about COBRA coverage when you were hired.
When you are no longer eligible for health coverage, your employer has to provide you with a specific notice regarding your rights to COBRA continuation benefits.
Employers must notify their plan administrators within 30 days after an employee's termination or after a reduction in hours that causes and employee to lose health benefits.
The plan administrator must provide notice to individual employees of their right to elect COBRA coverage within 14 days after the administrator has received notice from the employer.
You must respond to this notice and elect COBRA coverage by the 60th day after the written notice is sent or the day health care coverage ceased, whichever is later. Otherwise, you will lose all rights to COBRA benefits.
Spouses and dependent children covered under your health plan have an independent right to elect COBRA coverage upon your termination or reduction in hours. If, for instance, you have a family member with an illness at the time you are laid off, that person alone can elect coverage.

I dont see any light at the tunnel. PDs will not move until they allow 485 filing even PD is not current.
Please send the letter to WH if not already. As lasantha said, filing for I-485 when PD is not current is something IV is taking up with the administration. But, we need to get more letters to support our argument that this systemic dysfunction at USCIS is widespread and is affecting tens of thousands of people and not just a mere 1200 (that is the letters total so far and 10% of that comes from needhelp's efforts:))

Thanks Chandu. Did the same. Got I485 reopended as it is USCIS error (Filing Fee Not enclosed.) Got I797c for both of us saying that I485 reopened.
I liked the "Filing Fee Not enclosed" part. How did you manage to open an MTR without attaching a fee check? Please let us know. Ideally, we should not attach fee with MTR for such cases as these are USCIS errors.

bsnf,
Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions, it is very reassuring to hear from fellow travelers about their experiences. Like you, I am an EB3 - India with a priority date of Oct 2004. It's bad enough doing AP and EAD renewals yearly, not to mention the 3 times I had to get H1-B stampings. I refuse to apply for a visa just to go through an airport. Next time I will take a direct flight to avoid these ad-hoc EU rule changes. Again thanks for your patience and promptness in helping others.

May be it's true that labor and 140 belongs to the company, but they just can't take money from employees and sell it to someone.
Sure, they can. There was nothing in the law forbidding them from doing that and they abused the system badly which has resulted in a permanent ban on substitution.
You cannot do anything about them using the Labor for someone else. Perhaps you can do something about them taking money from you to file 485 and failing to do that. If you can prove this with a clear paper trail, then you stand a good chance on this one.

After reading your posts i checked my cases online and LUD changed on 02/10 (Mine) & 02/13 (my wife) too for the first time since they are filed .... Both cases start with LIN xxxxxxxx & both are at NSC, EB3-I, PD March 2005. We have given FP twice so far once after filing the cases and other when we applied for EAD/AP extensions.
No emails though .... Not sure what they are checking or updating ...
Hoping for the best like you all ... good luck. Please share if you have any updates

5. This employer is a consulting company...(desi) & they asked me to sign a financial agreement to repay their expenses on labor substitution/I-140/I-485...if I will leave them early. ...Is it legal to ask for such kind of agreement...?
Please let me know as much as info/ guidance you can provide to me.
Great thanks in advance for all of your help.
-------------------------------------------
Asking you to sign an agreement is not illegal. There are employers (even big names) who ask their employees to take care of the expenses for GC processing. The main concern should be to verify if this company practices fraud. The only way to check is either by searching on the web or talking to some other employees who work for this consultant (making sure these employees are also not part of the fraud).
I am sure you have heard about people like Nick Mandalapa who were filing multiple I-140 for the same labor certification . The sad part is that there is no USCIS online system to verify if a labor certification was used to successfullly file I-140/485.
And remember that if there is fraud it can haunt you ater in your life even "AFTER" you get your GC. USCIS can revoke your GC at any time if there is a proof that a fraud has occured in the process.
I hope this helps and best of luck.!
