My son aged out by 31 days (DOB: 03/30/1986) after applying CSPA benefit (I-140 processing period) of one month and hence could not file 485 application (in this July) and hence we are going through lot of hardships in different ways ( showing $27k balance for F1 , maintaining F1 status at very high tuition fees, showing high bank balance for OPT etc...).
My son is herein USA for the last 8 years from his 13th year studying from his 9th grade to his undergraduate final year. My I-140 was applied/approved in his 19th year - however, due to retrogression, I-485 could not be applied and hence this issue.
I sincerely feel that - the objective of CSPA was to extend protection to this kind of situations - but could not fulfil the same because of later unexpected retrogression which was not there in employment based categories in 2002 and hence is a kind of technical anomaly. I also feel that if core group puts its heart in to this issue - it could convince the law makers easily since it is more of a humanterian issue and the problem is due to unintended technical anomaly and with practically Nil negative effects even from anti-immigrant view point.
As a group, age-out cases may not be many - but the suffering by these few is huge - after being in USA for 9 years, these children have to be separated from their families, has to repeat the cycle - continue study at vey high tuition fees, go through OPT / H1B (if in IT and wins H1b Lottery) / labor / I-140 / I-485/EAD/GC).
I request core group to study the issue in depth - then I am sure they can convince the law makers easily since it is rectification of technical anomaly.

When every one send individual letter, they will read the first one and then will just ignore others. Because the content and issue is same. When we 50+ people send one neatly drafted letter...I am sure it will draw considerable attention. Ron is willing to help us. I am not sure if we need to hire him for this. If so, how many of you ready to share the expense.
We have around 75 peope in this thread. If we every one puts in 50 to 100 dollars on an average per person.. It will be 5000 dollars to pay as a fee to Ron to help us with this cause. We can channel this fee through IV.

Hi,
I am considering transferring my visa from H1B to H4. If in future I need to transfer my visa back to H1B, would I be in the 65000 quota even if I travel to India or outside US after transferring to H4?
Your thoughts and replies will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

It looks like you are aware of some USCIS internal policy that is not known to all. I used to think that the policy was based on the per country quota for each category. Maybe you can enlighten us all. What is the acceptable gap in PDs between EB2 and EB3 for AOS approvals? In your example it seems to be less than 4 years. Can someone with a PD of 2005 (EB2) get approved before another person with a PD of 2001 (EB3). Since you seem to understand the policy so well, could you please explain it in detail with specifics?
First of all you did not have to bring EB1 in the discussion. I do not understand where did you feel challenged so have to come up with biting tone. FIFO is category base... You are bringing nothing new. Kid waiting in India for his first flight to USA know that. You have to have a eye to see the big picture. If you analyze the whole design and take the perspective country based... You will find that retrogression policy in addition to FIFO's ultimate effect is - for an example-EB2-India: 2006 PD would not be able to get his GC before EB3-2002. But somebody must not be mentally challenged to derive that. It is not long wait. From next bulletin you will start seeing pattern.

My employer filed my EB3 PERM on 65th day after starting the process with a job bank posting, and after filing with DOL it took 11 days for the lawyer to receive the approval.
My employer filed Labor 90 days after the job posting (6 months after I initiated the process, this is after being screwed by my previous employer for 2 years)...Labor was aproved in less than 45 hours!!!

Well that would be an option make H1b portable.
But then most consulting companies will not hire H1B's because it won't be cost effective.
Anyway just by checking most of this consulting firms businesses they will be able to uncover all the fraud.
It's very unethical to make you lie on your resume and then try to market you to an employer with fake experience, also nobody has responded to my comment. Real Companies like PWC, IBM pay you while you're on bench, while this indian consulting companies break the law by not doing that.
Hmm, being an Ex-IBM Employee and for the record, let me tell you something. As long as one can charge his or her time to a billable project, no one cares. Otherwise, all you get is a grace period of 2 paychecks to prove the worth of employment. I'm telling you this truth with a verifiable employment history of more than 8 years in USA.
My friend, all that matters is how much revenue one can generate. Just doesn't matter whether you are working for Big5 or small and tiny consulting companies.
Challenge me if i'm wrong

American Families united is an orgalization that is trying to bring legislative changes to family related issue including the Age out issue. This is their website.
http://www.americanfamiliesunited.org/
But that is only for USC who marry and for the spouse's dependent children not to protect all children aging out and yes I am speaking with Randell Emery, the site owner.
Its all about money, to get our voices heard thats what we need to employ a lobbyist, unless we happen to know a congressman or his aides
Have been speaking with Connie Mack's office who has a copy of my law suite also Adam Putman's office, seem interested.
We all need to write to our congress people to raise awareness.

I hope this helps.

i am totally frustrated in following all these stupid bills (along with illegals) and these dirty politics etc. I am more furious that we all are fighting only by ourselves and none of our employers are pitching in for the very reason we are all here. This said, we are wasting our time in following all these bills which has so many loop holes to get bogged down(especially for clauses pertaining to legal immigrants). Guys, this is personally for myself, i am not going to waste my time anymore on this crap. I am going to set myself, some fixed time that i will wait for the GC to come through. If not, i am going to pack up my bags. I am just speaking for myself, atleast that way i know that i am not waiting for some useless bills to pass through. Atleast i know my wait will end by that time. I am just speaking my mind over the way things are going and totally frustrated due to this freakin retrogression..
I am also completely in same thought.
I am planning to pack at the end of August,if nothing passes (S2611 like) in HOUSE.
