WithoutGCAmigo, no panic. there are processing dates which you should be worried about after you file EAD / AP etc.
To file it goes per visa bulletin. Hope you are upto date with that.
thats the talk of the town, sorry COUNTRY now
IV memeber experts - should be on the way to throw more light / clarify
good luck

I think you are wrong... Company A can revoke approved I-140, if employee leaves them..
So does this mean I am stuck with Company A till I get Garbage Can I mean GC ?

I sent u an e-mail. Will call u in 10 minutes.
It is not possible to have 600K total pending cases (= EB + Family + Asylum + Refugee + ...) cases because there were 1,275,795 pending cases in March (according to Ombudsman) AND it is not possible to give 600K+ GCs in 3 months: EB + Family = 140K + 226K = 366K.
So my understanding is that there were 600K pending EB cases in June. Does family-based GC application have I-485 stage?

Any idea how many years will it take for APril 04 priority case (EB3/India) to get the 485 approval? Since I filed more than 3 years ago, I am telling my family and friends in India it will take 3 MORE years....

Yes. a law will be good.
On a serious note...before talking about a law, research a little about the immigraiton system and the difficulties.

I have purchased 4 firearms during my nonimmigrant status, including a handgun. Nonimmigrants can generally not own firearms in the US. Though, there is an exception to the law if you possess a valid hunting license and have resided in the US for more than 90 days. I took a hunting class, which was a prerequisite for the hunting license and also had very good firearm safety information.
For long-guns, you will need some paperwork before you go to the gunshop (utility bills from at least last 90 days, hunting license, Driver's license, your I-94 number). The background check will probably be delayed a day or two while FBI checks your immigration status. Your gun seller will call you when they get the ok.
For handguns, there may be additional paperwork. I had to apply for handgun permits with the local sheriff's office. The person you first deal with will probably be unaware of the exception for individuals with hunting licenses. You will probably need to take a copy of the law (ICE has a pamphlet on firearm laws for nonimmigrants, take a copy with you) and talk to a supervisor. Once you get the permit you take the permit and your DL to the gun seller plus all the paperwork I listed for long gun purchase. Let me know if you have additional questions. Good luck.
I have been thinking for a long time to own a gun but due to my H-1B status could'nt own one. My I-140 was approved last year and now I am working on EAD.
I am wondering if anybody else in a similar situation purchased a gun; I mean after he/she started working using EAD. I tried to research the issue but the law is not clear on the subject.

I didn't think my answers were making fun or teasing anyone - sorry if you felt that way, I didn't mean them to be interpreted like that.
The main problem is that no one really knows for sure whether these steps are taken in sequence. There is little to no transparency. There are procedures, but we can not guarantee that they are followed.
To answer your second part. No, I don't believe there are any standard updates that indicate this, but I could be wrong. I think that there is an update if you clear it, but not if you are stuck in it. Make sense? Pappu has an excellent post that details the name check process http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=12000
To answer nlssubbu with the query about the "pre-approval" - I don't think it is a 1 time thing. Its a fairly standard USCIS practice. I have a link somewhere to the IO AOS processing manual. If I can find it I'll post it here.
Do I think they have enough resources to process them all? Absolutely not, but I doubt there will be a rush considering PDs won't be current for a while (esp eb3)
For the past so many years of observing various forums and information, I did not come across the situation of pre-approval process except this time. I am sure that they will be doing various background checks to make the application ready for approval. It is not mentioned any where that how the pre-approval process is different from background checks? Are they the same or different? What processes are done during approval? I do not have any idea and hence I would like to keep the various checks and approval process separate.
If you say 'pre-approval' is to complete all the checks required the case of approval, then why they issue a notification regarding a 'pre-approval' in visa bulletine?
I hope someone will provide some information regarding these clarifications.
Thanks

We are looking for several articles that we can publish in various newspapers and websites as the immigration debate heats up in the media.
----------------
Opportunity (1)
We have an opportunity to write an article for a big Indian newspaper on our issues.
This article will also be published online and thus read by Indians in India, and NRI indians online.
The article should talk about the EB greencard problems and how it affect the lives of people who come to this country on H1B visas. Indian media it seems is confused on H1b visas and greencard process. They have on various occasions reported incorrect news on immigration legislation. Getting an H1B visa seems to be the be all and end all solution to come as a permananent resident of this country. While H1B visa is a non-immigrant visa, Greencard is the immigrant visa.
We want this article to solely focus on Greencards. The title can be like --"In Search of the Green Card". The article can be such that general public in India is educated and made aware of the struggles to achieve the coveted GC.
Make sure to write it as if you are a representative (member) of Immigration Voice and mention ImmigrationVoice name a few times in the article. Write aboout what immigration voice is doing to solve this problem and how this grassroots movement has grown nationwide and will enable a change in the broken immigrationsystem for high-skilled immigrants.
The deadline for writing this article in wednesday , Feb 28. Pls write the article and post it on this thread so that we can store these articles and others can read it too to comment.
============
Opportunity (2)
We have few other opportunities to get it published by a media company and the articles are picked up by various ethinic media newspapers and websites for publication. Any interested IV member can write articles for this.
The article can be more focussed on the greencard problem and how it affects the lives of people here and american competitiveness. Why the system needs to be fixed and how a grassroots movement like IV can help this. You can include your personal story in this article too if you like. The target readers are american public and potential IV members.
================
Opportunity (3)
We keep getting requests for articles so lets keep writing articles and store on this thread. Iv will try to get them published for you.
====================
A new thread is created so that everyone can notice it. I will be merging this thread with 'calling IV members with good writing skills in a few days'.
we want more people to write these articles and store on this thread.

CIR? There is no indication that CIR will happen this year. Why wait for it? It brings up too much anti-immigrant sentiments amongst citizens affected by the recession.
We can just go ahead and support this bill right?
Is there an official stand on this bill from IV core?

This can create fights amoung us. This is like divide and rule.. It did work in the past,. so we must make these guys do EB2 and EB3.
BUT they bring some very good points.
EB3 will go nowhere unless we act. Very Correct.
They want to do something and looks like decided with a plan.
There is a chance many EB3 Indians getting influenced as they too dont see any hope and there is nothing happening from IV in last 1 year except one or two in last 1 week.
Writing to service centers is a new idea even I didnt get so far.
So are we seeing these guys very soon in white.,. lets see.

Hey Guys,
When applying for CP the consulate we can apply to...does it have to be only the one in your home country (American Embassy in Chennai) or can it be the one in the country of last residence.
I have studied and lived in Canada for 3 years before coming to US. I am wondering if i can choose American Embassy in Montreal as my consulate post (country of last residence) or is my option just the consulate post in country of birth
Any thoughts on this greatly appreciated!!!

Basically, if your 485 is pending for more than 180 days and you lose job, then technically you can start using EAD and move on using AC21.
Chandu, my question is not whether HR dept can handle it properly or not.
My intention/question here is if an applicant is on H1 (most of the cases 5th or 6th yr of H1) and then loose the job and until he finds other job (has EAD but never used it) the applicant does not have payroll running during the break. then technically is he ok or does he has to maintain h1 status or does EAD protect him.
Coz until he finds a job and files for AC21 an applicant does not do any thing.
And what do you mean by satisfy AC21 criteria. unless you find a job you cannot file AC21....so during the gap (what is the status of this gap?...technically I am trying to find an answer. please point me to a link or document. If you are aware of it, else can IV find an answer to it)
"f you lost job on h1b and satisfy AC21 criteria then you are in pending AOS state and use EAD to work."
Chandu, thanks for at least answering my question.
Good luck for you!
