Other gurus can answer in a detailed manner. I am going to very short. Chinese Eb3 have filed for an injunction stating that they need to be allocated visa numbers because in 2008 and 2009 they were overlooked because DOS could not count the inventory of EB3 properly.
DOS replied that this kind of injunction would harm other countries ppl. DOS is allowed by law to make reasonable estimates in progressing and degressing priority dates. If some ppl are left behind they cannot do anything.
Here is the part of the law which states that DOS has the authority to do reasonable estimates of priority dates and this is what was stated in the DOS response to the injunction
Congress has expressly
provided that in allocating visa numbers, the Department of State may “make reasonable
estimates.” 8 U.S.C. ? 1153(g). In relevant part, Section 1153(g) states:
For purposes of carrying out the Secretary’s responsibilities in the orderly administration
of this section, the Secretary may make reasonable estimates of the anticipated number of
visas to be issued during any quarter of any fiscal year . . . and to rely upon such estimates
in authorizing the issuances of visas.

I have a question, with the current retrogression and processing dates what is the time for one to get a green card, given that the labor,I-140 being cleared within months, but what is the overall time to wait. Is the process moving forward or is there any improvement ?.
If any one can throw some light on it , would be Great.
Thanks

Welcome to world of GC.As of now,you will able to get your GC may be in 8-12yrs(minimum years) and the max cannot be calculated.If you have on your first H1 then it is right now to file for GC as you may get 3-year extension based on I140 approcal after you finish all the six years on H1..or some kind of bill may get passed before you complete all the six years and you will get the plastic(GC)..

You are not mandated to report on AC21 (job change) so my advice is not to report it till USCIS ask's you.
For address change. Yes you need to report that. But if you can retain your current address for just this one month and perhaps commute (fly) to your new job you can take a chance. Just my advice

Here is how you are being perceived in this country (full article link below):
"The process of converting an H-1B immigrant to a permanent visa resident is a long, expensive, tortured process. know of cases that took longer than seven years. My companies liked this arrangement, because it made the workers into long-term indentured servants, who lacked the freedom to quit and work anywhere else, neither could they complain about anything unless they wanted the companies to pull their sponsorship of them"

There are a lot of high-powered organizations lobbying/advocating in Washington to ensure that there are more temporary workers - because it is in their benefit. No one emphasizes on green card backlogs!

You don't file a G-28 unless you DO have a lawyer representing you. You just need to write to CIS advising them that the former lawyer no longer represents you, and ask CIS to send any correspondence directly to you, not the lawyer. It might take a long time for CIS to make the change, but in the meantime, the other lawyer should send you anything he gets on the case.

LUD means basically nothing.
I got FP done, got EAD and got Ap by October 2007. I have 3 LUDs each on mine and my wife's 485 since 01/04/2008.I just called TSC and the IO said no change in the case.

keep in touch with me. i will try to go to local office after 90 days (ie after oct 2nd) in case i dont get EAD by then (my lawyer sent my 485 on 6.29.2007) . its just to expedite not for interim EAD. cause they dont issue interim EADs anymore.
but if you have decided to file for H1 then no point in waiting for another month.
in my case the lawyer takes too much money, even though i dont pay directly but it comes out of my salary, ultimately thats why i am not pushing for my H1 extension.
also i am hoping i will get my 140 by then so that i can get 3 yr extension.

My parents are planning to go for a visa interview. What is difference between me inviting them to visit me versus they applying as tourists. I understand that if they apply as tourists they need to provide documents showing that they can support themselves.
Will coming as a tourist diminish the possibility of getting 10 year multiple entry visa. Any thoughts on this issue is much appreciated.
Tourists -> They support themselves financially during entire trip
Invite -> You support them financially during entire trip
The chances of getting 10 years multiple entry as a tourist is less likely, if they apply as tourists. Again, it is up to the I/O.

Hello Gurus,
My 6 years H1B visa term is expiring on Apr 30th 2008. My company filed 3 years of extension on approved I140 basis, which is still pending as of Apr 30th 2008. And my I 94 is dated till Apr 30th 2008.
I filed my I 485 in June 2007 and got EAD and AP
1) What will be my status after Apr 30 2008. Will I still be on H1 status, if not what will be my status.
And what is 'H1 pending for 240 days rule'.
Your answer is very much appriciated.
Hydubadi.:confused:
Until your H1B is rejected.

I have a question about the Aytes memo - it says that if the name check has been pending for more than 180 days, then the 485 will be adjudicated. My question is when does the 180 day clock start? Is it on the day that the 485 application was received by the service center (going by the receipt date on the 485 notice)? Or is it the day when your PD and processing dates both become current?
Thanks,
Kunal
Neither I think( i might be wrong though ). I think the 180 days is from the day USCIS submits your case to name check.
