Story is too good :-)
Ha ha ha ..
I am EB2-I with a couple of US grad degrees (and same undergrad school as Rolling Flood, not that it matters to anyone except perhaps those who suppor the lawsuit). And I think this lawsuit is a bad idea because it is divisive and petty.
There is an old Malayalam story that most people who went to school in Kerala would have read in their primary school classes. Two guys, Greedy and Jealous, pray to God. God appears and Greedy goes, "I just want double of what you give the other guy. All I want to be is to be ahead of him." Hearing this, Jealous says, "God, please make me blind in one eye."
This lawsuit, like the story above, is a case of knifing others in the back, for no real gain. We should instead try to leverage IV's large membership for a common good, which is what has made IV successful so far.

always amazes me how so many folks depend upon these immigration attorney websites and get disappointed...we are better off supporting IV advocacy and get first hand information on what is going on in DC, USCIS and DOS.
This is not the first time and I'm sure it won't be the last time these AILA folks generate sensational news! Help IV to help you!

Type in congressman your city name in google or yahoo search. It will give you various names for your senator and congressmen. Call them and give them your name FN LN, DOB, Alien number and fedex / delivery tracking mnumber. They will call you back with relevant information.
Goodluck

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,
Where did you get the A number of the applicant? I checked my I140 approval there is no such number on it in front of Beneficiary name and in the bottom. Even in my I131 application the A number box is blank. Is there any other way to get this A number.
Goodluck

This disclaimer in VB, does not say "mid-month". It takes about cut off dates via bulletin only. Also, this means USCIS put some thought behind the time they will have to announce cut-off dates. They new the demand will ber "very heavy".
**
All Employment Preference categories except for Third �Other Workers� have been made �Current� for July. This has been done in an effort to generate increased demand by Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) for adjustment of status cases, and to maximize number use under the annual numerical limit. However, all readers should be alert to the possibility that not all Employment preferences will remain Current for the remainder of the fiscal year. Should the rate of demand for numbers be very heavy in the coming months, it could become necessary to retrogress some cut-off dates for September, most likely for China-mainland born and India, but also possibly for Mexico and Philippines. Severe cut-off date retrogressions are likely to occur early in FY-2008.

You named a few: Pappu, Aman, Jay. Who are these guys?
Other than Pappu I dont see the other two or any others actively participating. Who are they and where are they?
You are seeing pappu on the forums because your involvement with IV is only on forums. All others in core team work on other tasks. Forum is just a part of what we do. You cannot achieve any legislative or admin fix just by creating a website and installing a forum software.There is a big advocacy and organizational work we have to do on regular basis. If everyone in the team tries to do everything, then nothing will ever be done. Do volunteer your time and get involved. You will get to communicate with many others and work with them closely.

Good suggestion, I didn't ask about EAD, I will check next time. But I guess evantually EAD would be revoked after I485 is denied. I think H1 is a backup plan if MTR denied and till appeal is decided..
I am sending letter CIS ombudsman shortly.
well, EAD is denied when MTR is denied, makes sense. But if you see the information posted by 'desi485' in this other thread (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=302334&postcount=17), it may remain valid till validity. This is indeed confusing though. Please ask your lawyer and share with us everyone here.

The real question is whether 2 files is ok with USCIS. Lawyers are giving different opinion on whether u can do it or not.
If u can file 2 sets, then do ead/ap on one.
They probably won't even look at my wife's 485 for a year. But I *think* that the EAD/ap should be under my wife's. Not sure though. I would like both asap.

I cannot comprehend this person's thinking. We are gathering a movement here wherein there is no question of country India/China etc and this person is trying to explain how we need to behave. Nobody on the forum is here for only the GREEN card itself. That will come with time.
Great leaders like Mahatma Gandhi inspire so many even now because they laid out a roadmap on how to tackle injustice and make the person in front of you realize his mistake (India freedom struggle) thorugh peaceful and legal path.
We are similarly trying to gather a movement wherein we want to show the injustice meted out to so many. There are so many scenrios and you just try to single out certain people.
When you say India is great just try to follow some princeples of its great leaders. That would give you a better perspective about IVians.
You need to look around do some introspection.
I consider all IVians as a family. Please dont try to break this bond by making such disruptive posts.
My case.
1. Came here in July 1999
2. Filed EB3 2003. Lawyer messed up and forgot the file in his cabinet for 18 months.
3. Filed EB3 again in July 2004.
4. Stuck in BEC.
This is just a message to 2005/2006/2007 PD guys. Please don't think that some miracle will happen and dates will be current soon, it will take its own time. Mostly for EB2 & EB3June 2006- June 2007 guys, it will be like a lottery if the PD becomes current somewhere in 2007 Oct-Nov time. Right??
So life is not always easy. There are people waiting since 2002-03-04.
Don't think that life is not a FIFO always.
Why some of the guys became violent when I said, INDIA IS GREAT???
Guys.. do you know why I always feel like this???
As my parents,in laws and most of my relatives stay there. Not only mine, allmost all guys who are in the IV, they must have parents and relatives in India for sure. There is no other reason why I said India is great.
Someone asked me to pack up... YES, I will if nothing happens;however, I will be waiting to see the progress for sure. This is July. Let's have a look over OCT bulletin after 2 months and for sure dates will move atleast 4-6 months for EB2 guys and 1 year for EB3 guys. So wait, be patient, instead of doing all this.
Anyway, our turn will come sooner or later, so why to become impatient just seeing the JULY bulletin CURRENT and then "U".
Mainly this is the message for 2005-2006-2007 PD guys. Please don't take it otherwise.

Ha..Ha :D - That is funny. He indeed should be sent an e-mail saying just that.

I totally agree with this. A blood drive is a WONDERFUL idea. If we can get enough media outlets to cover this story it will send the right message to the Federal government. I think this will be HUGE. test101 - you are a genius !!

I had got an email from TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov last friday (09/17/2010) with the update below-
1: The review was complete
2: Visa numbers were requested 2 months ago and all security/prints are current
3: Files have been forwarded to officers for completion.
In my case the email to SCOPSSCATA@dhs.gov helped a lot. They in turn sent an email to TSC.Ncscfollowup@dhs.gov to step up the processing.
As others have mentioned IV has played a big part throughout this journey. Thank you again.
HEARTY CONGRATULATIONS to you and your family! It has been a long journey.
I agree with SKIDUDE, sending e-mail to SCOPSSCATA helps (but please send an e-mail to this, only if you have not received a response from TSC Followup for at least 3 weeks)

-- Rajiv Khanna says you should apply
-- My attorney says .. it is my call....
-- some guys tell me ... apply independently and then join the one that is reaching towards completion..
and I am confused and frustrated........
but really .. what should a man do ??? I will kneel down and ask god .. I will let you guys know what he has to say ..... :(
Come what may....ultimately it is indeed ur decision or God's....
I think this forum has laid all options with their pros and cons on teh table for you....

Folks,
Quick question on 485 processing times (I know a lot of folks have been waiting for couple of years for their processing to complete)
I checked on the USCIS website, they show that Texas and Nebraska are processing Sep/Oct 2006 cases. How can one gauge a typical processing time at USCIS for 485 applications? Any clues?
