USCIS promptly waited for everyone to submit AP & EAD application to move the dates forward!!!
But anyways, the movement is good, let's just see how many get their green cards and for the people who miss this boat as well we need to see how much they retrogress in October!

More letters = More strength for IV !
What happens if we don't have 25000 letters?
I see that we're way behind and only 10 days left.

Assuming no relief for immigration system as a whole, EB3 India will move forward substantially only during last quarter of the FY.
Rest of the times, it will be in 2001 or 1999 or even pre-immigration years. You never know.
The least preferred category among EB (taking the country tab in to account) is EB3 - India.
Isn't that a privilege to us?

Current Developments on Prevailing Wage Determination
Along with the implementation of the PERM system, there were changes made to the Prevailing Wage Determination (PWD) process. The new PWD has a four level hierarchy where the first level is the lowest level. The prevailing wage is the minimum wage required that the employer must meet as determined by the State Wage Determination officials. The prevailing wage varies from state to state, as different State Workforce Agencies may determine the prevailing wage differently. After the adoption of the 4 level prevailing wage hierarchy, people have been worried that occupations requiring a master�s degree might be put in the highest level of the hierarchy. In our practice of cases for positions requiring a master�s degree, with an experience requirement of 2 years the PWD level has usually been set at the second level. Only for those senior positions specified by the job description or other management positions will the PW be bumped to the third or fourth level. As a result, as long as there is an experienced attorney who can make an effective design, the prevailing wage may be kept within a certain range.
If you scan the PERM data from fldatacenter. There are approx 3200 EB2-I (wage level IV)certified labors for PD up until 06/01/2006. Not sure about BEC certified labors. Based on the perm data ,DOS just needs approx 10000 visa number to clear the EB2-I PERM cases. I think DOS is right on.
Note: some of you have considered Level III in their calculation which is not correct. Because I am EB2 and my Labor says level IV for wage level.

Very true, this is a place for Great Ideas........Thank you for that info. I was not visiting the forums regularly then, and the only time I saw it was when IV core was already supporting it and encouraging everyone to do it. I have seen many great ideas on the forums.

I would give some days to Attendees and particularly to IV core team to analyze the rally events, meetings in their entirty and come up with the conclusions mainly for 3 things. And I request everybody to funnel data to core team centrally and the same way conclusion and future action list funnelled to members.
- What we could REALLY achieve
- How loud we could be heard
- Any potential and positive impact in near future?
- Based on all of above making near future strategy
Note: One thing I want to bring everybody's attention that from November Elections will slowly be given priority by every media and so we may have to come up with careful strategy not having any conflict with election realted major events.
We look forward to guidance from Core!

I am guessing the presumption behind logiclife's post is that we're all responsible, thinking and educated adults who shouldn't have to be begged and pleaded with to behave with decency or show some common courtesies at the least. If IV was formed a few months ago, then it's understandable tho not excusable that people who have legitimate ead/ap concerns just talk about it on the forum and then leave. But if someone's been around for more than a year and still has not participated in a meeting or contributed in other ways its truly pathetic. Even tho I don�t track every piece of news on immigration, I consider myself fairly well informed and day by day the outlook only gets scarier. Today at lunch, we were talking about junk forwards and poking fun at those who send them and a friend mentioned how he has been getting so many fwds with anti-immigrant messages these days(my friends are obviously pro-legals, somewhat ambivalent about illegals but not the lou audience type & don�t lose sleep over a bunch of poor busboys/gardeners crossing the border). This anti movement is growing powerful by the day with clear agendas and goals but theres no countervailing pro-movement to speak of except iv, only sympathisers. Yesterday Lou was on tv promoting his book to princeton club in new york. After Lou had chewed off on the illegals in response to a question, another member conveniently queried him on what he thought of the top end of the immigration spectrum worked. After labelling H1b a disaster(in other words people like us are here in the US because of a broken program) he sought to portray congressional hearings as some farce as apparently only Bill Gates was invited to speak this year. He ofcourse didn�t mention that orgs like CIS, numbersusa and others were invited last year when his friends like Tancredo were running congress, orgs that would be labelled as hate groups in normal times in the halls of congress helping set policy! And then he said that 75% of H1bs goto Indians in the US who work for Indian companies domociled here to just to outsource American jobs. Not only did he make a chillingly racist assertion based on a complete lie, he was implicitly advocating shutting down the only legal avenue to immigrate for people like us who didn't win a genetic lottery and were born into the right family! This, in New york of all places and that too at Princeton club after dissing about 'elites' and how 'acquiescent' some were!! Voicing some legitimate concerns of the common man along with radical or divisive agendas are nothing new but he's taking it to new levels. That's why as someone else already said elsewheer, iv shld be more than a bulletin board to discuss legitimate ead/ap concerns- it�s the only openly pro-immigrant(EB)movement. There are a few opinion journalists penning a piece here & there but that doesn't help much. Some of us are in cozy well paying jobs who are certain to get gc's and can wait however long it takes but that�s no reason to sitby and let others who are not so certain about their future struggle alone. And finally, we all have been yelled at and its not the end of the world so getover it dontr be such friggin crybabies!

Sent 5 more letters to President and copies in one envelope to IV.
Guys this is great, we can all ask our friends and colleagues to sign letters and we can all secure them by paying for the stamps ourselves. I am not sure my husband knows I have shares in the post office now, but I think he would whole-heartedly support it, and he supports what I am doing!
Look at Digital2k's amazing number at the front of this thread, now that is inspiring!!! Come on folks, let's get crazy on this!!! :)

Sure, though I am not back from a party... IT IS INDEED PARTY TIME FOR MANY :D
My question was more specific, with dates being current, can you apply for 485 on any day of next month July.
I suppose the next bulletin for Aug (that may probably be released 10 or 11 July) will be only effective since Aug 1st.
Please confirm.
Yes. If your visa is current in July. Then you have whole July to apply. Even if you deliver on Sundays. but i have no idea whether they accept application on Sunday's..

Doesn't it sound rude... they celebrate, feast and we fast. If we admire this country for giving us so much we should also show our support and adopt the culture and celebrate with them to show we are tax paying Americans who enjoy in American way.
We can show our protest by sending 1-wish for our own GC ( may be in the form of Christmas tree ornament) to all law makers. Everybody makes a wish and our wish is GC.
IMO, it is not rude but definitely brings out the irony of our positions.

Hi,
Based on the summary if you re-look at the student visa section of Bill Frist's bill
`(2) STUDENT VISAS- Notwithstanding the requirement under paragraph (1)(C), an alien may file an application for adjustment of status under this section if--
`(A) the alien has been issued a visa or otherwise provided nonimmigrant status under section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv), or would have qualified for such nonimmigrant status if section 101(a)(15)(F)(iv) had been enacted before such alien's graduation;
`(B) the alien has earned an advanced degree in the sciences, technology, engineering, or mathematics;
`(C) the alien is the beneficiary of a petition filed under subparagraph (E) or (F) of section 204(a)(1); and
`(D) a fee of $1,000 is remitted to the Secretary on behalf of the alien.
`(3) LIMITATION- An application for adjustment of status filed under this section may not be approved until an immigrant visa number becomes available.'.
What this really means is a masters student can adjust to immigrant visa status although his visa application will get approved only when the visa is available. If i have understood this correctly this means that this is similar to the S-1932 provision wherein you can adjust your status although approval will happen only when immigrant visa is available.(provided one is masters)
Or have i got this wrong?
Comments? If i am interpreting this correctly it is another big boost for people who have either not worked 3 yrs as yet on H1B or have a masters degree unrelated to the profession they are working in.

I think Canada might be a good option for some ppl. Here are some reasons:
You move to canada, have greater flexibility to change jobs, your wife gets to work, in the meanwhile your employer lets the GC process continue. This way, you live a free life until you get a GC. But I seriously doubt if any employer will continue to process GC if you leave the country.
Or you have waited long enough and are too tired to wait any longer. You would rather be elsewhere. In this case it doesn't matter where you go, Canada or back home.
Another good reason can be that you have waited for 8-10 years in US and have no hope in sight. You are not tired but you can clearly see that the wait is completely futile and you are just hoping. You have decided to stop waiting but still want something that's close to US standards. And I think canada still comes very close to good standards.
What do you guys think?
yes corret,
I do not understand the point of moving to Canada to come back to US when the retrogression seems to end(which never ends).
What is the point in moving to Canada and waiting for something from US. I would very well stay in US and wait. At least US is better than Canada on every aspect including $$$.
I would say, if you have PR and if you can get a very good satisfying job than what you are doing here which would add value down the line, then there is a point in moving. Just for the heck of having a PR, moving to Canada is not a wise thing to do.

You do not have to pay fees, if you had filed your I-485 with the new fees. If you 485 was filed based on July 07 VB or earlier, then you still have to pay fees. The July fiasco as we all know, there are a extension till Aug 17 to file I-485 with the old fees, these applicants still have to pay fees for AP renewal even if filed between Aug 1 through 17
If you have filed your 485 based on the July '07 fiasco, then you still need to pay $305.

I applied for my AP renewal on June 2nd by mail and the same got delivered on June 8th but no reply as of now. I sent me personal check for 305 USD. Please advice.
Thanks.
Which center did you apply for.
In my case, I filed through an attorney with TSC. My papers were Fedexed to reach on 6/2 and my attorney sent me scanned copy of receipt notice on 6/8, not sure when he received the RN's but the Receipt Date / Notice Date in the Recipet Notice is 6/2, If your documents reached on 6/8 which is a Monday, leave it a couple days and followup. You have to leave some time for the actual RN to reach you via USPS as well. The payment was made for my case to the Attorney and they cut a check for USCIS. So I do not know how soon the checks will be encashed. Good luck with your renewal process.
