EAD renewal paper filed :
Mailed USPS : March-11
Received and signed by USCIS on March-12
Nebraska Service center
No reciept
Check not cashed yet
When I called last week, they wanted me to call back after 30 days, so I called today, it got escalated, the first lady was rude and bluntly said you have to 45 days for reciept and then 90 days after that for EAD so, it could take 4.5 months for renewal.
I called back and it got escalated to a different officer this time, the lady was helpful and mentioned that there are too many delays at Nebraska that are related to EAD, however she took my telephone #, address, A# checked my file and said it is not in the system yet,
she passed a message to the mail room to contact me regd the filing, she told they might get back in 30 days with information.

A whole bunch of people awaiting H1-B will be keen to support IV. If things do not change now... more H1-B will get stuck in next year quota.
Getting H1-B is only one part of the mouse trap...
Green Card RETROGRESSION in even bigger.
If explained well... many more people will be willing to participate in IV activities.
If aspiring H1-B support IV now... they will not have to go through the HELL we have gone through
So... go ahead & spread the word in all educational institutions... IT campuses

Here is what my attorney has sent regarding the AILA release, i dont know whether to believe him or other attorneys, i think i have no choice but to go with what my attorney says.He has been really good in these kinds ofnotices for the past 3 plus years, hope he is correct even with this.
1)There is no way that USCIS would get away with shutting down filing of EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3 Adjustment filings without a massive class action lawsuit against the agency;
2)The power to determine the availability or non-availability of permanent residence visa numbers rests solely with the Department of State. USCIS rejected the �Other Worker� Adjustments based upon a notice from the Department of State that there were no longer any visa numbers for the category. I recently attended our annual AILA immigration conference and there were members in attendance who had interviewed the Department of State official who sets the priority dates. The understanding was unequivocal that the Department of State office felt the numbers would remain available throughout July, and perhaps, as late as September;
3)At this time, there are 40,000 immigrant visa numbers available for the rest of the fiscal year. This means that in order for the Department of State to issue any kind of notice to USCIS, 40,000 permanent residence petitions would have to be APPROVED prior to the end of July. I am highlighting the word approved, because I need for all of my clients to understand that between June and July, there will a lot more than 40,000 Adjustments filed. However, what determines an immigrant visa number usage is the approval of a permanent residence.
Now let�s go back to simple math: there are 140,000 immigrant visas available per fiscal year. 40,000 visa numbers are available at this time. The fiscal year runs from October 1st through September 30th. That means that in the first 9 months of the fiscal year, the Department of State and USCIS have managed to approve 100,000, which turns out to be 11,111 petitions per month. There is no possible way that USCIS and the Department of State are going to approve almost 4 times the number of permanent residencies in the month of July. The agencies do not have the time, nor do they have the manpower to approve 40,000 petitions within the next 30 days or so. That is the very reason why the Department of State official solely responsible for the priority dates felt pretty good about the availability of visa numbers throughout the month of July when he spoke to my colleagues from AILA.
To be honest with all of you, I was really disappointed in the message from AILA. In the rush to �inform,� they forgot to pause, analyze and really discuss the true possibility that USCIS would be directed by the Department of State to halt receipt of Adjustment of Status petitions. I want my clients to know this: at this point, I am not worried that the visa numbers will not be available throughout July. If I were worried, I would let you know. My responsibility is to guide you through this process and if there is any genuine worry on my part, I will let you know IMMEDIATELY.
This attorney is right. DOS is the one that manages the numbers. Not USCIS. USCIS is just a robot in processing the applications. DOS has legal obligation to issue not more than 140K EB visas per year. They may issue less than 140k visas per year. That�s is alright, no one can question. They can not exceed the limitation. The purpose of all category current in July is to approve all eligible 485s that were pending due to lack of visa numbers. It is not meant for accepting tons of 485 in July. If they do not make current for July, they cannot issue 40,000 visas before the end of FY. USCIS ombudsman scolded them in wasting the visas, despite the heavy demand. That is the reason why it is current. It is �current� not for accepting the tons of 485s. Also, Ombudsman recommended strongly that USCIS has to accept only correct number of 485s to process within time.
Even AILA failed to understand the difference between law and regulation. The regulation is a detailed procedure to implement the law. If they violate law, then they are in trouble. If they violate regulation without violating the law, it is perfectly alright. But only thing, it is not transparent and ideal way of handling the process.
Again, visa bulletin is an advisory notice by DOS to manage the numbers. DOS can instruct any time USCIS to accept or not to accept any 485s in between two visa bulletins.
If any one browse, USCIS web site, you can see this
� The requestor has verified that the current visa bulletin indicates that a visa number is available for the country and classification involved, and that the current bulletin has not been superseded by an advisory from the Visa Control Office.
The Department of State has guaranteed to USCIS that so long as the current visa bulletin and any superseding advisories indicate that a number is available, a number will be assigned.

I have submitted all the documents to my laywer on 6/25 itself (including medical) but they are just heavily back logged and won't be filing my case till Jul 10. I am just frustated now. I even offered to pay extra to speed it up but no use. I am only worried if dates retrogress half way through?
To my real question.. Can we just file on our own with out the lawyer? I would hate to loose this window just coz my laywer couldn't do it. Not sure how I would break that kinda news to my wife, "I know the dates were current for 10 days in July but our lawyer didn't have time so now you will have to stay at home for 1 more year".

I applied my wife's passport for extension. She has 6 more months on that one. I got the renewal exactly after 3 weeks from CGI-Houston. But the problem is, they gave only 1yr extension. In effect, I got only 6 months extension. I'm glad, atleast they sent it because we already booked the ticket to India in May. I'm not sure why they've given like that. Anyone has any ideas on that one?
The h4 or h1(whichever visa she is on)visa in your wife's passport would have expired and the I-797 approval notice must have less than one year from now. Heres the note from NY consulate website
"Important Note: In certain cases of an old passports issued by an office other than the Consulate General of New York, a passport is issued for one year. In such cases, applicants have to apply for extension of the passport any time after 45 days. A passport is also issued for one year in cases of expiry of valid U.S. residence visa. In such cases, applicants have to apply for extension of validity as soon as valid U.S. Residence visa is approved. There is no fee for extension of validity of passport."
****************************************
If such is not the case,then you can e-mail the CGI houston and they will let you know why they did that. Apparently,they are more prompt with e-mail than with phone.

So far, there is no provision of 485 filing without priority date becoming current. Has this failed too? Just two weeks before Feb. 15th. I guess the fate of this provision is determined now.
It seems that nothing can happen before Feb. 15th. Even the H1 increase has not happened yet. Democrats do not seem to be immigration-friendly as many expected before. No hope for CIR this year. No hope for SKIL this year. What a miserable situation!

Hi,
The online case status says: The I485 APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS was transferred and is now being processed at a USCIS office. You will be notified by mail when a decision is made, or if the office needs something from you. If you move while this case is pending, please use our Change of Address online tool to update your case with your new address or call our customer service center at 1-800-375-5283.
Me and my wife were called for interview at Newark, NJ office after we got the Notice for case transfer in Oct. 2009.
I think the notices we received at home did mention the Newark, NJ office, don't remember for sure.
I have an INFOPASS appointment this friday, 27th May to find out why is it taking time for my case to be approved.
Hopefully, there will be no problem with my case.
Thank you for your reply.
Filling out the info in your profile will help all of us on the forum. Good luck with your INFOPASS appointment.

Like I said you can start at the same pace as you normally walk from your car to your office. Do that for 20 mins or 30 minutes this week and we will increase the pace very slowly and add a few minutes each day. Also always listen to your body and do what your body can. it is very important to respect our body's limitations. I have learnt that the hard way
Yeah I started off faster than normal and for the last five minutes I did a stroll.. Its gone now, I don't feel it anymore.

I am writing to the local congressmen, to request USCIS to apply the spillover visas to EB cases with older priority date first (irrespective of it's category or country). I hope this will help, if lot of these local congressmen/women contact USCIS to handle this spillover in a fair manner, allocating to older priority date cases first irrespective of category or country. All EB3 folks please take some time and do the same writing to your congressmen about this issue.

Set a meaningful standard time frame,based on employment category, within which all applications must be processed. If they could not process an application within the time frame and the application meets the all requirements, the applicant must be issued with green card irrespective of whether a visa number is available or not. Though time frame could differ, it would atleast help the applicants plan their future properly. Most importantly it makes the USCIS accountable.
Eliminate EAD renewals every year. This will reduce the paper work and hence improve performance. Unless people change their jobs, there should be no need to renew.
Come on....please wake up.

This thread is interesting to read through and it is always good to have a devils advocate.
However, one thing for sure that saying mistakes are on us in a black and white manner is not justified.
Whatever we decide we should have good communication among all backlogged applicants and follow the established process.

I am sure there are quite a few people who are following this thread; but are in two minds about being able to complete the race. If this happens to be you, then try doing this for starters.
5K = 3.106 miles.
So get into your car, set your odometer and drive exactly 1.55 miles and back. Then walk up there and back and time yourself. Not everyone can run; but even if you have been leading a sedentary lifstyle, you should be able to walk this distance in 45 minutes....even if you are short :)
If you find yourself struggling to walk 3 miles, believe me; you have bigger problems to worry about than a green card!

If the petition is filed as a COS H1, then USCIS should approve it with an attached I-94 unless there are any doubts in which case, it still approves it but without an I-94 and sends a cable to your home country visa consulate where you would have to go and get the visa stamped before Oct 1st and come back to start working...
