Regarding: Inquiry/status for I-485 AOS application sent to USCIS, Nebraska Service Center on July 2nd 2007 [FedEx Tracking No. xxxx - Recd. by Mr. J. Barrett NSC At 10.25am on July 2nd]
Dear Mr. Assistant Chief,
My Adjustment of status application [I-485,I-765 and I-131] based on EB3 RIR category, was delivered to Department of Homeland Security, USCIS, Nebraska Service Center, Lincoln, NE on July 2nd 2007. It was received in the mailroom at 10.25am (reference : FedEx tracking number xxxxx).
USCIS website says NSC are working with August 2007 received AOS applications. However, I haven't heard any sort of communication pertaining to my pending application with USCIS. USCIS Customer Service would not pull up my application information in the system yet. Seems like USCIS is either not following the First in First out (FIFO) process for sure or the figures are misleading.
Details as provided below:
Name of Applicant: Name xxx
�A� Number of Applicant: A 088 xxx xxx
Date of Birth: xxx
FedEx Tracking No: (whatever is your tracking number)
I would greatly appreciate if your office can help me to track and process my AOS application delivered to NSC on July 2nd 2007. Please feel free to contact me at (xxx) xxxx for any additional information.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Goodluck

Let us call rumors as pure rumors, even if they are from individuals here on IV or from aila until the official agency release their report.
Let us step back a bit and analyse it with just common sense.
USCIS and whatever that other agency is, is not a fool to release a july bulletin and make everybody current. If they have made all categories current in the hope that they want to utilize all visa numbers then this is the height of stupidity. If that was their intent, they could have moved dates 2-3 months each month starting july till September.
They should have prepared themselves for the flood of applications starting july 1st, and that is the reason for suspending the premium processing.
Make PD's current and then goingback in just couple of weeks doesn't make sense at all.
If someone has done this in haste then i doubt the overal integrity of this organization and its continuity.
When i started the rumor of possible mid july retrogression, then that was based on the flood of applications that would go by july 2nd week. I am surprised that people are now talking monday or tuesday retrogression and a possible fresh bulleting from USCIS.
Who would know the fresh july bulletin updates from USCIS other than USCIS and why would they leak that information before hand?
Why should we beleive aila?
Do an independent and individual assesment of this issue and go have a beer for the weekend.

Guys,
I need your opinion and advise on this.
Old file - First File:
-----------------
current employer:A
EB3-Country: India(Bharat)-RIR-PD:07/2*/2003, I-140 approved - 485/AP/EAD/G-325 A filed on 07/12/2007 - EAD received, Soon FP appointment - NO AP yet - (myself-Primary+3) filing
New file - Second File:
---------------------
Future Employer: B
EB2-Country: India(Bharat)-PERM: PD:06/2*/2006,I-140 approved - NO 485 is filed under this yet.
Note: Labor for both applications has similar codes except new filing is based
on "Seniority" and thus EB2.
Now in light of October 2007 visa bulletin prediction given on www.murthy.com, It looks like EB2 may go ahead with comparision to EB3 ( Eb2: may stuck at January 2003 and EB3 May 2001/2) and by reading page 130 to 134 from the following link it looks like Priority date still matters even after filing 485 and your case can go on VISA HOLD SHELF if at the time of adjudication visa number is not available.
http://www.ilw.com/seminars/august2002_citation2b.pdf
Questions:
1) Suppose my EB2 PD (I-140 approved, no 485 filed) become current prior to
my EB3 PD (current employment- 485 is filed under this) and for some
months if I see EB3 may not move ahead what would be the best startegy
out of following?
- PORT (EB2 PD: 06/2*/2006) PD to my current 485 file which is based on
EB3 with PD 07/2*/2003. Can we PORT NEW PD to the file based on OLD
PD? I know OLD PD can be ported to NEW PD but what about reverse
condition?
- File another set (Myself+3) of 485 as new application under EB2 (Future
Employer) mentioning current A# numbers.
- File another set (Myself+3) of 485 as new application under EB2 (Future
Employer) mentioning current A# numbers with PORTING of OLD PD (EB3
PD 07/2*/2003).
Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.

1. Ball park figure is total of 218,000 visa wasted from previous years. How much of it will go to EBs (and others) will be based on how the recapture gets implemented. If we don't do anything and sit quiet, it may as well be ZERO. Nurses will walk away with the cake
2. President can pass an 'Executive Order' to provide interim relief. So it should be possible. It'll depend on the independent interpretation of the law by the White House, and it won't be based on whatever you read elsewhere.
1. How many unused visa numbers can be re-captured? Out of those re-captured, how many can be applied to EB categories? I know this is difficult to estimate this but if we believe that recapturing unused visas would help the retrogression issue, we ought to have some idea (in hundreds? thousands? more?) as to how many visa numbers can be re-captured and used towards EB categories.
2. Does the President have the authority to implement an administrative relief in this matter, particularly to recapture the unused immigrant visas? Elsewhere I have read that only congress has the authority to do this.
Please provide links/references or analysis to back up the claims.
Thanks!
Disclaimer: This is not to discourage anybody, rather just a healthy skepticism.

Dear..you seem to have gotten your GC..why the heck to you care..besides I applied ones in 00 and due to screw up attorney..had to apply again..also look in track it and immigration.com..there are people stuck from 99..please dont waste people's time by asking silly questions...
Thanks for the clarification.
If your PD is 2003, then you are waiting for 5 years, not for decade. Just FYI, saying decade (instead of 5 years) is material misrepresentation.
Good Luck.

Yes, I agree that not filing GC earlier is not an excuse for MBA. The point is he still would have been in the same situation (EB3, 2003 is not too different from EB2, 2005) in terms of how fast he will get his GC.
What stopped (from legal stand point) MBA guy to file for eb3 based GC in 2003? Remember both have BS in Engineering at that time. No employer was ready to file GC for the MBA guy (in 2003) is not a valid legal argument.
Remember, one does not need to be employed to file for GC and GC is for the future job.
It is not what you or I think is fair. From legal point of view, both had equal opportunity to file for GC in 2003 for eb3 job. Just because, the MBA person didn't go for it is not a valid argument. Don't you agree?

Not all things done are perfect!!. But the point is that something is getting done. In retrospective everything is 20/20. Criticized are those who attempt something and who do not do anything never gets criticized.
IV is doing something which could benefit you. Atleast please do not complain if you do not agree. I will be with you without complaining if you try to do something.

12000 visas would certainly translate to more than a week's advance IMHO:D
DOS has not said by how much will be the forward movement.
The Department of State announced that the Indian EB2 category is expected to advance one week in the May Visa Bulletin. The demand for EB1visa numbers has decreased by 50 percent this fiscal year. Last year from October 2009 to February 2010, 22,000 EB1 numbers were used. During the same period this year, only 10,000 to 11,000 have been used. EB1 will be current worldwide all fiscal year. This will free up an estimated 12,000 visa numbers to fall down from EB1 to EB2 this year
EB2 India Expected to Advance in May 2011
Posted 29.Mar.2011
The cutoff date for EB2, India, is expected to advance in May 2011. This advancement will occur in the U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin for May 2011. The Visa Bulletin for May 2011 will be published in early to mid April 2011.
On March 29, 2011, the DOS advised that demand for visa numbers in the EB1 category has declined significantly. Thus, approximately 12,000 unused EB1 numbers will be available to shift downward to the EB2 category, starting in May 2011. There was no estimate of the expected amount of forward movement in the cutoff date for EB2 India due to the availability of these additional visa numbers.

stole this from an other DB:
If you are travelling on AP and dont want the hassle of transit visas, the following airports are AP "friendly" ....
1) Frankfurt (Air-India or Lufthansa).
2) Amsterdam (KLM, Northwest, United)
3) Dubai/Sharjah/Kuwait (Emirates, Kuwait Air)
4) All Pacific stopovers - Tokyo, Seoul, Kuala Lumpur, Singapore (China Air, JAL, Korean Air, Malaysian Airlines, Singapore Airlines)
Thumbrule : Via the Atlantic route (Europe stopover) you must avoid London, Paris, Geneva (other Swiss airports are fine). Via the Pacific route, you are fine with any airport/airline.
In my case, I used Air-India from Chicago to Mumbai via Frankfurt (twice in 2005). No transit visa issues and great food - hot samosas soon after takeoff from Chicago !
Hope this helps .....

I dont understand why people even bother to fly through BA. As soon as they say "transit visa" which means additional hassle..bye bye BA. We get strained enough with this 35 hour flights..we dont need any more headaches..they have a right to impose rules.(based on what's happening in their country)..and we have our right to choose..I would rather spend an extra couple of hours and fly through Singapore airlines, hassle free.

I received a similar response to the 2nd SR. I was told that my case was under additional review and to allow them 60 days. However, my wife's case had been assigned to an officer for review.
Did you send an email to TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov (for TSC - another email for NSC). I had no clue where my application was when even 2006 cases were getting approved. I am seeing some movement after emailing them.
Gurus,
I received a SR reply in mail that my case is under additional review . MY pd is sep 05 and i am so frustrated. They also asked to check back after 4 - 9 months. Is there any body in that situation and what else can be done .. please advice..

Jan 1 1970. Before that you can submit affidavits.
I didn't submit non-availabilty to attorney. Last time in Sep 2005, I was about to file I-485, they didn't ask. Not sure, if the Non-Availability thing came up after Oct 2005.
My father tried to get a Non Availability certificate but they told since the birth is registered they can't issue one and that they also won't change the name...:mad: (after the incident where that MP tried to sneak people into Canada they are very strict it seems)

Hi Guys,
I sent the flowers on the address suggested bu some links on some websites but USCIS is not accepting if exact suite number is not mentioned on the address. I called their office and asked for the addtress for Emilio Gonzalez but they did not give suite#. But they mentioned that he is on 5th Floor.
Please use the following address:
Emilio T. Gonzalez
5th Floor
20 Massachusetts Avenue Northwest
Washington D.C. 20529
I know it will cost some money but please have faith on this campaign and keep sending the flowers. It will definitely create a big wave. This is the only way you can get some media recognition otherwsie no one other than us gain anything from it. Politicians are not intersted in talking about it. For media whole DOS / USCIS hoax is not worth covering as it will not get attention from americans. But by participating in the campaign will really get some attention.
Let's help ourselves by sending flowers!
