That is a good sentiment, Bkam.
Please don't mistake BerkeleyBee's post. From the point of view of the core team, many posters have ideas that seem correct to them and they post 'This is my idea, why can't we do this?'. In plain language, that translates to 'Why can't the core team do this?'.
So from my point of view - simply as someone who has been posting for a long time in Usenet, newsgroups etc - if you have a good idea, implement it yourself. E.g., if you want a webfax that thanks Senators, write the webfax and post it. Sample webfaxes are available on the website, customize it and post it. The "core team" is human. We are balancing full time jobs with the web site and it would help if people making suggestions also implemented it.
In this idea that has been posted re: educating people in other countries, that is NOT part of IV's mission. IV's mission is clear: it is social service to people that want to get a green card. It is also social service to educate prospective immigrants about the delays in the GC process. However, that is not part of IV's mission. It can be part of Bkam's and Learning01's personal missions, however.
I think the one additional thing is also that we need to using harsh terms to blame the U.S. system or Congress for our problems. Lots of people have problems, Congress has limited time to tackle everyone's problems. As someone prominent that we met said 'War on terror, injustice to immigrants.. You know what is going to win every time'. So let us keep perspective and soldier on, remember we are also getting prominent, so now is the time to present ourselves and the forum in the best light possible.

Hi,
I may know the answer, but I thought i would check.
Below is my situation:
1) I-140 approved in Jan 2008
2) I-485 pending since July 2007
3) I have a 2 year EAD
Now, if I switch my job and the new employer is not ready to transfer my H1-B, can I use my EAD to work(provided my I-140 is not revoked by the previous employer)
Also, any chance that I could keep my GC application alive? what will happen when my Priority date becomes current.
Thanks in advance.

If the person gets the visa stamped on the passport at the US consulate abroad, I do not see any problems re-entering.
AP is only optional. You can always get a valid US visa stamp based on the approved petition and use the H-1 visa stamp to re-enter.
I am not sure what the confusion here is:rolleyes:
There could be a problem at Point of Entry if the officer notices the exit date before the approval of AP. I think for you to be able to use AP to enter it should be approved prior to your exit out of the country. You might want to consult an attorney or USCIS on this. If the IO at POE stops them there is nothing you can do. So be very careful on what you want to do here.

Yes! If there's nothing wrong in your EAD application (which should be none because USCIS received it), expect to receive your EAD approval on the third to last week of October.
NSC is already approving July 2 EAD applications as of the moment; therefore, your case is very near.

You cross the border every day?
If your Attorney says it�s okay then probably you don�t have to worry.
However, your current Canadian address is not what you have in files on your I-485. Because, you can't give a foreign address.
So, I personally think you are beyond jeopardizing your pending I-485.
Good Luck!
Would request you to elaborate a bit.
Note that I am not using either my EAD or my AP. All I am using is H1-B and my Canadian Passport to enter and leave US. Most people on the Canadian US border to that.
Also, I commute to US everyday to work, which is less than an interval of 12 hours.
Your input is greatly appreciate. Thank you.

I too am in the same club, having a priority date of Sept 2001. I am still awaiting my I-140 approval, filed in March 2007.
Hoping things would be sorted out sooner rather than later....I am in EB-3....How about U??

Optimystic -- is your PD current?
yes
IF you have a current PD RIGHT NOW...AND submitted your I-485 on or before June-July 2007... AND have an approved I-140
I-485 submitted in last week of July 07. I 140 filed in premium processing and approved in Jan 07.
(i) they are sweeping through all the files to find such files because if you filed your application in June-July 2007, 180 days have likely passed since your name check was submitted to the FBI. Name check request are made within weeks of generating a receipt for you.
(ii) they plan to complete this sweep by March 10; UNLESS visas run out, they plan to process such cases in approx 60 days (hah! like I believe them).
(iii) within the set of applications with current PDs, they apparently process in order of RD. Not sure if this is within the EB preference and current PD or across all EB preferences.
If what you say holds true then thats good news for me personally! But I would be curious on the process used by USCIS to dig out all applications that have current PD in march, and then sort them based on application receipt date and process all these within 60 days. I am hoping (or rather praying !) that the fact that they have entered our data into computers allows them to apply some simple sorting logic to CORRECTLY arrive at a subset of qualified cases to be opened up come 1st of March. Now the geographical distribution of cases across service centers, the huge mess during the July fiasco, and cases of people still waiting for their FP appts even now, doesn't give you too much confidence in their systems and processes. But, hey, guess I might be getting too pessimistic here and going against the spirit of own handle name :). Waited for 7 years. Whats couple more months or even a bit longer for that matter !
(iv) Some cases are approved without any changes in LUD i.e. that amazing email arrives before without any prior LUD changes.
IF you don't have a current PD, I have nothing to say except best of luck to all of us...the situation is pretty grim. The movement of EB-3 ROW will mop up most of the green cards left this year.
Thanks much for your insights.

My wifes' application is in the same situation (though mine is clear). I sent (through attorney) proof of check encashment from the bank and also a new check for $70.
Attoney gave these options
1) Send ONLY proof of check encashment - This could lead to delay in Processing till they find the locate the missing check and account it
2) Send proof of check + $70 - They may or may not encash the new check. If they resolve the issue without encashing the new check, it's well and good. If they do encash it and the issue is resolved - well, it's still better than her application getting rejected over $70 [ Of course MTR and other actions can be taken, but didn't think it was worth it]
Attorney response has reached them. Waiting for the change in her application status ( God only knows when it'll get changed)

Nothing would be done until we fight the crap
USCIS will get their millions and sit on the files and get more millions through renewals. By that time your employer would have sucked the last drop of blood or keep finding new employers who will port your 485.
This is just a temporaray relief to feel good.
If they wanted you would automatically get a PR once you complete 5 years of legal work in US
Guys dont get trapped. Since USCIS is exposed now and forced to accept 1 million application for AOS, these things are coming up. USCIS and DHS are the pets of US Govt. Govt wont let them down under any circumstances.
Now that USCIS and DHS realized the moster coming on their head down the line in the name of GC / EAD / AP and they have maintained the lie with dis-honesty all these years that they could not process 485s because of the lack of resource, they have fallen flat on US Congress to bail them out. Whatever solutions they have had in their disposal all these years they are taking them out and discussing with congress. If they wanted to be really helpful to the highly skilled immigrants, they should have done this long back. All these days they all were anti-immigrants and the ex-director of USCIS was a active member of anti-immigrant community.
You dont have to do anything. Just sit and watch the fun with USCIS. They will come up with solutions and get it passed with congress and they know better than any one else that they are in trouble without solutions. Lots of LAWSUITS will follow in next few months if they dont do their job on time.

I agree that having things work efficiently without bribes is of course the best way.
But faced with a choice between bureaucracy that cannot be solved, or bureacracy that can be solved by paying a few extra bucks, which is better?
About USCIS using PP fees to pay salaries, arent the fees for non-PP also used for the same purpose? the same amount of work goes into it, the same number of people do it, the only difference is that with PP it gets done faster. Tell me, isnt that the definition of a bribe?
Not trying to convince you, but seriously I would like to understand if there is a reason for the extra fee.
Incentives are often given to workers for extra work. In a back-logged situation, people working at USCIS are working more than they used to (when they started these jobs). They may also need extra recources to clear these backlogs. I am guessing the extra money is being used for these expenditures.
