I created my own login. But again, i did not do for Labor, so i may not be right. But for sure, I did for my 140.
Online case status for forms filed with USCIS are different. You can check those if you know the receipt number. The PERM system is a DOL system and only employers have access to the system. The employer even have to create a sub-account for the lawyer to access the system.

All:
I think things are moving fast. I had paper-filed the EAD applications and sent them to the Phoenix lockbox on April 5th by ordinary post( due to miscommunication).. and was so worried whether they will receive it
However today both checks were cashed ( saw that in my bank acct). So things seem to be moving faster now.
I hope things move quickly for all of you. I will keep you updated when I get the receipts.
Thanks

Thnks, for the fax # , hope I get my EAD/AP soon, I had applied for AP on 4/9/2010 and EAD on 4/15/2010. My EAD is valid till Aug 3rd . My wife's EAD is till July 21st.
I sent both to Phoenix lock box as Im in CA. My checks havent been cashed yet, both were paper filing , in the past the checks used to be cashed in a week and I used to get the receipts in the mail within a weeks time.
Has any one been in a situation where they havent got EAD renewal in 90 days and has been successful in getting the interim EAD from the local USCIS office? Plz post their experiences here.

I'm in the similar situation as indian111.
I filed for my wife's EAD in the late May (e-file TSC).
Receipt date is May 29th.
Soft LUD on June 6th
FP done on June 21st
no updates, no changes after that. there is no LUD after FP. It's been 66 days since filed. Does any one know if I can take Infopass appointement before I complete 90 days of pending status and see what's going on? Or do I have to wait until 90 days are complete? any experiences?

EFiled on 29th May and still waiting. Opened a SR yesterday and lets see what happens.
The good thing is now we are seeing some approvals, so i think everything is back moving again.

i don't get it you are saying that members don't have to search...and yet someone has to keep it up on the home page...which is it? yes a sticky thread would have saved work and not required someone to keep it up. Why wasn't it done in the first place. When a service is supposed to be offered every week...it should be offered every week...or else there should be an announcement that is will not be offered this particular week and that it will continue next on said week.
1. Threads cannot be a sticky on the home page. However, threads can be made sticky in the forums page under the sub-forums. The sticky thread on the Ask the Lawyer forum. (The http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/forum68-free-lawyer-conference-calls/1900583-free-attorney-conference-calls.html)
2. The aim is to have conference calls with Lawyers for free every week. We have gotten 4 lawyers to do it for 2 consecutive days - consistently. I need one more lawyer for the fourth week - here is a task for any member who is interested. Find me a lawyer who is willing to give 1 whole hour worth of advice to our members for free, preferably on a Thursday (to maintain the same day in a week) consistently year round.
No reason to be frustrated when people are asking simple questions...another idea would be to put the answers to the most frequently asked questions on the FAQ page...which does not work right now....so that you don't have to repeat the answers.
Its an easy solution i think.
Any member who is willing to spend a few hours on a regular basis, please help us with a FAQ about the site. Some of the answers are already in the forums, you just have to put them under one umbrella. Please let me know who wants to work on this project - individual or group effort.
Giving a long lecture of frustration is not the best way to attract people to an organisation.
Think about it...do u go buy clothes from a store that voices their frustrations about the prices of raw material...of do u go buy it because they were nice to you...had great customer service...nice selection of goods...and fair prices.
I am sorry but working for hours on end alone, voicing frustration at lack of participation, treating members like they are morons for not being able to find supposedly simple things is a really terrible way to attract more people to an organisation. The cause may be noble...but who will wanna join some organisation where people just complain about how miserable things are.
Please pause for a moment and think about what i am saying. This is exactly why you have less participation and less donation. IV needs to transform into a vibrant fun place to be while still upholding the noble cause.
Let me be clear, the only way IV knows of treating its members is with RESPECT. If it was not with respect or the understanding of the struggles each of you go through - our motivation to continue this cause would have long disappeared.
If there is frustration on our part, it exists within us, we hope for better, but the frustration (or anything else) has never stopped us from providing the service or executing the tasks.
The "frustration lecture" as you call it was not meant to be a lecture - which goes to show that it is very difficult to control the tone and message on forums. Many people have questions, and since the topic came up, I shared some of my thoughts - to give members a peek of how things look from the inside.
Not all our volunteering members are from DC area, they are as widely spread out as California, Minnasota, Florida, Texas, Mississippi, Tri State Area -- you name it, we have dedicated volunteers. Distance need not stop anyone from volunteering.
I am not sure how much "hope" is selling for these days, let me know :) - Trying to make this a fun and entertaining forum :p
Today is March 27, 2011. And I have 2 Tasks for interested members.
1. Find a fourth lawyer to give advice for free for an entire hour - preferably on a Thursday.
2. Help in compiling a FAQ, that will assist any new member to find his/her way through the forums.
Thank you guys for starting this conversation.

I got the CPO email just now.. i'm not sure if it's because of the SR that my wife opened on Friday evening or it just happened without that.. but anyways it's a relief now.. i also see a lot of people getting cpo emails today.. btw, just curious, does the cpo stage come before "approved" status or after it?
now hope that i receive the card in time.. will post about its validity and start date once i receive it. (i'll be current for the month of September as my pd is july 06)
good luck to others who are waiting and hope that they get cpos soon
i got one more cpo email for ead today. the emails that i got today is exactly same as the one that i yesterday except the date of cpo. Yesterday's email said that "on August 16, 2008 we ordered... " and today's email says that "on August 18, 2008 we ordered...". anyways, i'm not worried about these multiple emails.. now waiting for getting the actual card in hand..

Where is famously liberal "lion" Kennedy in all this. He is the counterpart to Lofgren. When you are the chair of the subcommitte on Immigration you are supposed to be a leader on these kind of issues. Really disappointing.
Are you kidding ? Check out the CIR.
Did you not call his office during the CIR days & get crestfallen at how little they cared for Legals ?

We do not get any attention, because we do not raise our issues and we are not vocal about the problems we face.
.... But we as a group need to stand up, talk about the issues we face and have our voices heard.
You made very good points. May I suggest we ask members to call on the phone too if they're busy? This actually worked in delaying the first Bailout in 2009, when they received numerous calls.
Customer service reps do this for hours everyday in some places.

02/01/2007 21/30 p.m.: Senate Passed Immigration Reform Bill Today
The Senate passed today Fair Minimum Wage Act, H.R. 2 today. The House passed this bill, H.R. 2 and the Senate debated the bill for the past several days. In the process, hundreds of amendments had been introduced on the Senate floor. The Senate floor then agreed to a lot of these amendments. One of these amendments which the Senate had agreed to and passed as Division B of the H.R. 2 is the Immigration Reform bill.
The immigration reform bill was introduced by Senator John Kerry and agreed to by the floor unanimously. The immigration reform bill that the Senate passed today covers a lot of the provisions which were part of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 which the Senate passed last year and failed in the House.
We will analyze the bill and report it step by step for the next several days. Please stay tuned to this website....

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.

Lets not get stuck in debating and talking all the new news about legislation being introduced, Skil/CIR. The most important thing is to create awareness about problems we are facing (EB immigrants).
Time again we have seen that because of low awareness amongst all the peoples-reps (congressmen, senators, all others) our provisions have been dropped at the last minute.
The need of the hour is to keep working together as a unified team, we all do a good job as a team. We have seen that during the lame duck and also before in May, 2006.
IV core as a team exactly knows what is best for all of us. We have to trust them and help them do their thing, meanwhile we can all concentrate on
1)raising awareness, writing op/eds. writing to editors
2) Inviting other people who are stuck like us (to be IV members). Strength is in the numbers.
3) Creating a huge fund to help lobby/or other such activity that we need it for.
Some new members might doubt the intentions and the commitment of the core team. Also it is very easy to be skeptical of people asking for funds. When I was new to the IV team, I had the intitial skepticism about people on the forum asking for funds and contributing. It took me a good 2 weeks of being a guest on the site to register and then another 10-12 days to give my first contribution. So from that standpoint, I know that new people on the forum are going to take some time to trust IV and have faith in the core leadership. All we can do is to get new members (So many thousands stuck in retrogression). New members inturn will become active in a short time, Bigger and stronger IV with a 10,000+ membership will ensure being noticed and also will have the required funds to make it happen this year.

I applied for 10 years passport extension ( old one issued from india) on March 05.2008 by Fedex. CGI Houston received it on March 06. Couldn't contact consulate employees as no one picks up the phone.
So went today to CGI Houston to check the status personally.
Checked with mail room and came to know that they had posted the passport yesterday. I received it in Fedex today. CGI mail room even provided me Fedex tracking number.
Old passport issued from : India
CGI received date: March-06-2008
Completed processing: April-12-2008
Fedexed the passport : April 16, 2008
Received new passport: April 17,2008
CGI Mail room keeps track of the passport status. They can lookup the applicant name and find the status.
That's great news. My passport was received by them on March 7th so I hope I get it within the next few days! Thanks gc28262...!

Going back to the original subject of discussion - before the thread got hijacked by plainspeak and some really divisive and dangerous viewpoints - I just wanted to say I completely agree with Goodintentions and the post below. Thanks for the observations - certainly helps newer members who are getting used to the idea of meeting congressional offices. This bill helps all EB and we should be all for it and any other piecemeal bills coming up in the new Congress
I agree with the contents of the post. Personally, I have been writing letters regularly to the Congressman, the Senators of my State and also to the President. In most cases I have received responses.
Many of you may not find my observations interesting or you have also come across something similar. This is however for those of our friends who are yet to write to law makers!
Following are some of the obesravtions which I would like to share:
1. Letters posted (not emails) seem to be read and replied. (Ofcourse, most of us are now so much used to email that it is difficult to print and post, but I still think it is worth the effort)
2. Unless the subject line refers to a "specific bill no." the answers are very generic. In fact many such responses are not relevant at all
3. Whenever the letters have been to the point and within ONE PAGE, they seem to draw attention.
4. I have tried to meet my Congressman for about 2 years, but in vain. However, over a period of time I have been able to develop some friendship with his immigration assistant. They are the people who prepare notes and present it to the Congressman
5. Recently I got a response from one of the Senators on the S1085 bill. He is a Democrat and has stated that he is supportive of the bill and that it is currentlyundergoing "judicial review by the Senate". I really do not know what it means, though!
5. Regarding CIR I got a clear letter from Mr McCain stating that unless the "borders are secure and sealed" CIR does not make any sense. I have once again written to Sen McCain that we are legal immigrants and would like to seek his support as well as thatof all Senators and Congressmen, from both parties. I am yet to get a response. Once I get a response I will share it with all of you
6. I am no writing a 2 separate letters (one about the new bill about passing on Lottery Visas to EB) and also another about the fate of of HR 5882. I would also be writing the Congressman who has sponsored this "Lottery Visa" about the HR5882.
The task is uphill and very difficult. We have no option but to try the beaten track. Many of us are here for more than a decade and the end is never so near. Time does not wait and we cannot board a time machine to get back in time! I am one such person who left UK and came here! Had I continued there I would have become a citizen 2 years back!
Perhaps we can try the Gandian method of "mass satyagraha" which is a very peaceful means, to highlight our situation. We can do it in summer, may be in June / July and start working in this direction. Not sure how many will scoff at me, but perhaps it is worth the try.
GOD BLESS all our friends who have been patiently waiting for ages!
Best wishes!
I agree with the contents of the post. Personally, I have been writing letters regularly to the Congressman, the Senators of my State and also to the President. In most cases I have received responses.
Many of you may not find my observations interesting or you have also come across something similar. This is however for those of our friends who are yet to write to law makers!
Following are some of the obesravtions which I would like to share:
1. Letters posted (not emails) seem to be read and replied. (Ofcourse, most of us are now so much used to email that it is difficult to print and post, but I still think it is worth the effort)
2. Unless the subject line refers to a "specific bill no." the answers are very generic. In fact many such responses are not relevant at all
3. Whenever the letters have been to the point and within ONE PAGE, they seem to draw attention.
4. I have tried to meet my Congressman for about 2 years, but in vain. However, over a period of time I have been able to develop some friendship with his immigration assistant. They are the people who prepare notes and present it to the Congressman
5. Recently I got a response from one of the Senators on the S1085 bill. He is a Democrat and has stated that he is supportive of the bill and that it is currentlyundergoing "judicial review by the Senate". I really do not know what it means, though!

To all EB3 members whose PD is current:
Monday is the last day. If you don't get your GC approved, you got to wait for at least 7/8 months before they start moving dates forward. Beginning of each fiscal year, the dates are generally very conservative.
And for ROW EB3, if the bill passes to eliminate country quota, you will be getting your GC in not less than 5 years from now which you could have get it if your f**ing attorney/company would have file it 7 days earlier! Big time screwed! I am one of them!
We are really missing the boat..till Oct'08 FY09 starts..:(
waiting continues....it became routine..

I think you yourself can check the status if you can get receipt number from your attorney
https://egov.immigration.gov/cris/jsps/index.jsp
I checked my 140 status, H1 Extn status. I am positive that you can do for labor also.
Nope you cannot do it. Only if you have account to login in the PERM system.you can check the status.

Your wife should be good to stay with your change of employer upto the date mentioned in her current I-94.
I have been in your stage. I changed my employer last year. I asked same question to my attorney from my wife. Attorney said that there is no need to apply for another H4 because of mine change of the employer.
We went this year to india there was no issue to get the new visa stamped on our passport.
Note: I am not an attorney and sharing my experience with you. Please take a legal advice from attorney.
