Hello,
They may have done the prevailing wage (DOL website has this info) and LCA online. Employer can do their LCA online and get answer/approval within minutes. Once the approval is signed, I-129 can be filed on the same day. My employer did these things when they filed my H1B (I got it 5/6 months later).
Hope that helps,
T.

You are 100% right. IV Core also got wrong data from CIS. Core is following up with the CIS. But as you said, EB3-I will not get any spill overs. There are 45K EB3-I's and we see hardly 100-200 in this forum. We need many people and I feel still people do not realize the grave situation.
Well, EB3-I will never get spill over under current interpretation, as all EB2 needs to be current along with other categories, If you had looked at the USCIS data, EB2 numbers are higher than EB3 for China / India for folks with PD 04/05/06... and we are talking about 2-4 yrs down the line, Economy will get better and many would join the line in EB2 as well and I doubt if the dates could ever get current. This new interpretation for the allocation of the unused visa to other category / oversubscribed country seems like curse to EB3 folks. Hope this changes somehow and we need to focus on this along with other greater goals. Folks with more insight on this, please comment

Here's a quick summary before the InfoPass recap:
EAD e-filed: May 27th
Receipt notices received: 1st week of June
FP done: June 19th
Card production ordered LUD: June 28th
Other soft LUDs: July 25th, July 27th
Still waiting...
InfoPass: This morning...07/28/08
Per the guy at the InfoPass counter, the FP report was received on July 24th (which probably explains the July 25th LUD). He said EAD will not be printed or sent out before FP check is complete. In 2007, they did not run FP checks to issue the first EAD after July fiasco.
So could this explain the delay that folks here are seeing? FP Code 2 was done for EAD, so not sure why this should take so long :mad: Maybe I am mistaken, but I thought that only FP Code 3 that's done for I-485 can take a long, long time. Can someone post info on EAD FP checks?
Update: Here's what I have after some quick research on USCIS biometrics:
http://www.immigrationportal.com/archive/index.php/t-191494.html
Code 1 is all 10 FP. This is electronically sent to FBI the same day, they run it to match thru their database to match it with criminals/persons of interest and send the results the same day (or the next) to USCIS. Code 1 is very important as it is part of your security/background check and determines admissibility for GC.
Code 2 (index+photo+sign) is for the generation of cards for immigration benefits e.g. EAD, gc etc. If you filed for EAD, you definitely need code 2 or the card can not be generated.
Code 1 expires after 15 months e.g. FBI needs to check their database again. Code 2 is done everytime we apply for benefits (EAD - once a year).
Code 3 is a combination of both, when USCIS wants to get a security check done on you as well as generate cards (EAD) for you.
something is really funny ..I agree it is not printer (was trying to add some humor :)) ..it is not 2 yr vs 1 yr ..since card production has been approved already ..it could be their systems are slow ?? or worst case - is this their way to say ..be happy with EAD's ..if u guys are more demanding -- u won't EAD's in time either ?

Application efiled at NSC on April 14.
Still no sign of the EAD
NSC is slow compared to TSC and also they start the EAD on the day it is approved and not when the previous one expires.
Somebody, needs to take this up with the Ombudsman due to difference in the processing policies and times for EAD renewals.
Application received by NSC on April 8th.
Still no sign of the EAD :mad:

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.

It seems some people already coverted\or in the process of coverting from Eb3 to Eb2. Even I did that recently.
Regards,
Alex
This process was already done by many in later part of 2005, entire 2006 and in early part of 2007. We do not know how many got out from the 485 Que in 2007. Many of those might have filed 485 recently in the july fiasco. The impact of these conversion will be felt only after 5 to 6 months or even after an year.

bharat premi..what are the statistics that you are basing EB2 movement on?
those who have forgotten, EB2 India was current till the October 2005 bulletin. In 2005 there were a total of 7076 Labor certification via PERM (including EB3 other worker categories) from March 2005 till December 2005.

Congratulations !!!
Would you mind sharing the RD, ND. My PD is just a week later from your PD so was wondering what is stock for me :)
Also did you have any RFEs, 2nd FP etc.
Alright guys, I cannot tell you how excited I am to report that i got a call this morning from my attorney and my online case status also states that Card Production was ordered for my case!!!
After 8 long years.....i finally have been approved for permanent residency. After 7 years, i will finally, with peace of mind, go back to India to visit my family. Thanks to IV, everyone's help on these forums for helping me keep my sanity over the past 2 years....
After 15 years in the US, I will finally have my green card in hand soon.

I-485 Filed for both my wife and myself in July 2007
EB2 porting
Started new process with same employer in September 2010
Applied PERM in Jan 2011 and got approved in 10 days
Applied I-140 in April 2011 and got approved in one week
Priority date recaptured and I-140 has the old priority date (Sep 2004) and same A# as previous one
Opened SR with USCIS on May 6th 2011
Informed customer service that my Priority date is outside normal processing time
Received an e-mail after couple of days "There are no visas available to process your I-485 application. Your priority date is EB3 September 2004 which is later that the cut-off listed on the visa bulletin for your preference. Thank you for your time. This inquiry will be considered closed."
Replied to the USCIS e-mail(tsc.ncscfollowup) attaching the I-140 copy and asking them to upgrade my case from EB-3 to EB-2
Got the magic e-mail on May 17th 2011 and also reply for my e-mail
Thank you IV and for all the useful information. Wishing you Best of Luck to all who are waiting in line.

Thank you sanan, I guess you meant Antibody titer test (immunization test)
So what you are saying is, if one does not has the Vaccination record, concern DR would do this immunization (Antibody titer) test in place of vaccination record and can you confirm that you have gone thru exact scenario ?
I would say 90 % in the same boat :p No sweat. They will do an immunization test. You could even get the vaccinations taken

AFAIK the H1 Masters quota of 20K is open to just U.S. Masters degrees, not even PHDs from Indian universities qualify for it.
however for EB2 for instance they dont care where you get your masters, so its a mixed bag. Basically USCIS follows the law, and its upto the lawmakers to decide the nitty-gritty of a particular law.
If you have US masters degree then it is very esay approval but with non-us masters you need to provide lots of supporting documents because they are scrutinize more.

Caliber, we are seeing a totally hopeless situation. Especially people with later PDs in EB3-I category.
The CIS official had clearly said that EB3-I pending will be in decades unless some changes are made to the immigration laws. Seeing the way the health care bill is going, none of the EB3 folks are seeing any hope for CIR.
You are 100% right. IV Core also got wrong data from CIS. Core is following up with the CIS. But as you said, EB3-I will not get any spill overs. There are 45K EB3-I's and we see hardly 100-200 in this forum. We need many people and I feel still people do not realize the grave situation.

Are we just a bunch of stingy people wanting everything for free!!????
Highskilled people for free stuff? The answer should be NO!
OUT OF THE 300,000 people stuck due to retrogression, only 8500 OR SO are IV members. Out of which not even a 1000 want to commit for minimum of $20/ month. Right now we only have some 120 people committed. That is really a shame!!. Then we find a few (5 or less people) asking what is IV doing with the funds?. What funds?

How much clout does this congresswoman have? She seems to understand the entire scenario better than any american soul out there! It also seems like she has spent a lot of time on this and understands the system very well.
I guess it remains to be seen what kind of impact her letter will have on USCIS. Obviously, USCIS did something unlawful.
Look at her background - she was an immigration lawyer prior to assuming office.

2)If my I 485 is approved before I file my spouse I 485, is it Okay to file I 485 for the spouse as normal case ?
No you cannot, if your case gets approved, your wife will loose H4 status.
What are the other options for this ?. I will make sure I am filing I 485 1st week of June, but you never know since my 485 is pending for long time, there may be a chance it gets approved fast, in that case what other options are there to file derivate/spouse case. ?
