One change I noticed.
Now people can continue in the old system if the I-140 was approved or pending before the first day of the fiscal year subsequent to the the bill being enacted. So if the bill is passed right away, you need to have filed your I-140 before Oct 1 2007.

Matthew Morse of Fakhoury Law Group (Troy, Michigan) is a good attorney. Timely filing and efficient in all respects. Provides detail and timely response to any query. Did so even when volume of applications were mounting during July-August period.

... tell us something new...
kaka,
You have so far been saying "nobody will get GC... it is a scam..."
Now that there is a chance someone will get GC with a new House, do you still go with your "win-win" stand?
Will you change your course too and say something new?

Experts,
I have done e-filing for my AP renewal. I read the instructions to see what documentation I need to mail,but I did not find any documentation specifically for e-filing. Does this mean that there is no need to send any documents? I heard USCIS will take picture during biometrics which is all they need. Can you please share your experiences on this. thanks a lot.
You need to send all the documents asap.They will send biometrics notice for E-filed EAD , but I am not sure about E-filed AP.

Please help!!!!!!
I just filed i-485. My pD is Jan 2004
i-140 has been previoulsy approved. I was laid off but my original employer agreed to give me evl, but with the way the economy is going they are not doing well.
I have another employer which I am working now with.
How likely is to get an approval (or an rfe for paystubs?) before 180 days.
I am eb3 row
Thanks, I am very depressed it took too long I guess and the economy changed and now the whole future of my family is pending

needhelp...maybe instead of country of chargeability we should ask for grouping by country of birth; this is an actual field required in the I-485 form.
You are right about priority date. It is not a field available in the 485 form. in the 485 form we reference the approved I-140, which is the only place where your see the "Priority Date" field.

1. Let us decide how we need the data. ie what query USCIS has to run
2 make publicity of this .. ie uscis is an agency which should have the data but it is asking us to pay 5K for the data. (president, hillary clinton, aila and whoever else,...)
3 Only getting this data one time wont help us. Like USCIS processing dates , they have to run our query every month on a particular date and publsh it. Otherwise after 6 months or one year we have to pay this money again.
4 Can we appeal to the money asked by USCIS. Anyone who knows more about FOIA
5 Can we request USCIS to give us the table details and tell them we can write the query/program free of cost.
Any other suggestions..

I agree... i dont think its wise to call USCIS about the VB fiasco... the operators are probably minimum wage paid and are reading off of a book/compter screen.. not the ppl who can make decisions.. if it werent the us govt, we would have calling up even lower paid workers in India/Philipines and hearing from them... instead of calling USCIS, please spread the word, create awareness in the political system, press and media..
What a bunch of morins we are. We are calling USCIS to find out if they are going to accept our applications that were sent on Jul 2nd 7 55 am and Jul 2nd 9 01 am will be accepted. Lord have some mercy on us and give us some brains to read the USCIS update. Damn it. The morons who answer the phone lines do not know jack about W T F is going on. Thats why you were being put on hold. Stop calling USCIS crazily.

Well said...now let me put it in a slightly direct fashion....
Most people seem to be in denial...For now they just want to hear that they will be ok...I''m sure we have members whose motherly instincts can kick in. Please help these poor souls...Not sure what else to say...I'm very dissapointed at how much we were able to raise..
Everbody's posts here are speculations on what USCIS will do to I-485's filed on or after July 2. Everybody is trying to get an answer from USCIS. You called and got an answer DIRECTLY from USCIS which you doubt and don't believe. So what you want is for people here, who can only come up with speculations as to what USCIS's action would be, to confirm what USCIS already told you???
Geez.....you definitely need a brain check.

Dear all,
I am a silent admirer of all the great work that you do. You are doing a commendable job for the voice-less powerless immigrant population. I have sent a modest contribution of 50 by check. Won't be able to join you all due to prior commitments.
Thanks

Hello IV members,
First I want to congratulate all the IV members who worked really hard to make this rally a success.Unfortunately I couldn't able to attend the rally.but I have contributed $100 for the rally.I think it is a good idea to make rallies in all the major cities on same day and show our strength.Head count matters in grabing the media attention.
I live in sunnyvale,CA and i'm interested in meeting the local IV members in person this week end to discuss further course of action.I will put 100% efforts to give my best for this cause.
Thanks,
h12gc

Now, the bad part ... the achilles heel of every high-skills amendment is the tethered H1B quota tricks. They are exempting everyone who has US masters or a non-US master in STEM from H1 quota, effectively making H1 quota = A LOT MORE.
The exact same radioactive provision for H1 quota is also in Lieberman-Hagel amendment 1242.
This will sink both of them unless either there is some inside deal going on that we dont know, or they strike out the H1 issue from this on the floor of the senate at the last minute and be content with H1 quota of 180,000.
When Sanders got his amendment he actually was giving sops to the IEEE folks as he surely knew that he couldnot get the H1B numbers reduced. On the other hand note that Cantwell is from Washington (Microsoft's state) and has garnered support from Leahy, Cornyn and Hatch. So this amendment comes from both sides of the aisle and once the $5000 fee is in place for the H1B it is difficult for Durbin/Grassley and the rest to really argue otherwise at this point. Infact didn't Durbin et al. get some additional restrictions in place for H1-B's?
Lets hope for the best.....Should we be specifically targeting some Senators for phone calls about SA 1249?????

Looks like the Congressman's (Rep. Lamar Smith) office is getting bogged down by the calls.
I walked around my office and asked every colleague I met to make the call. The last 5 people who called, the person answering the phone rudely asked them to call the local Congressman's office instead of the Representative's office. He did not take any information nor did it look like he was making a note of the call.
Any pointers, information as to what may be happening?
I am not sure about the rude part. All the posts in the 12 pages have actually appreciated the patience of the caller.
Some answers on why you are calling Rep Smith even though you are in a different constituency. Send the first post of this thread as supporting material to those who are going to call. It hardly takes a min to read that post.
(1) Yes, we called our Rep and asked for support
(2) Rep Smith is the ranking member of House Judiciary committee and thats why his support is crucial to these bills
(3) Rep smith championed high skill bills in the past and these are common sense measures that will increase American competitiveness

If you friends spouse was on H1 then i think her current status with USCIS would be H1.
Since she is not working with the current employer she need to do the following things to void H1 status.
a) Start using EAD to work.
b) Use AP to re-enter the country.
c) Get H4 status change.
Otherwise her current status would be in H1.it could create some problem if beyond couple of weeks.

These small movements does'nt make much difference. It may get retrogressed any time.
I feel DOS / USCIS /Nclex are trying to attract new applicants. This year very few had taken Nclex. These people are in greed of money, they are even planning to increase fee for green card.
This is my view
