    Went through all 14 pages of this thread plus other forum searches - couldn't find an answer for this one.
    I asked my employer to create sub-account for me at http://www.plc.doleta.gov so I could check my PERM case status without polling them. The employer got back to me and said "looked into the site and I couldn�t find the way to create user account to view your case only".
    They dont mind making sub-account for me, same way they do for attorneys and paralegals, but they dont want me to see their other pending cases or any information, unrelated to my case. So, my question is: is there a way to create sub-account, which would allow seeing my own case only?
    Thanks in advance.

    July 31st will probably be your RD. Unless they mess it up. I read somewhere that it got messed up for someone.

    I mailed my I-485 to NSC, CSC issued the receipts, and sent me a transfer notice (transferred to TSC). It is now pending at TSC. But the RD is the date NSC received my package.

    Lasantha, I do congratulate you from the bottom of my heart. It has been a uphill journey for everyone. I am happy that you have completed your journey successfully.

    One last question,

    You mentioned your RD is June 29th. Is it the date from your FEDEX tracking #? Or this date is mentioned on your USCIS 485 receipt? Why am I asking this as because, I sent my application on 30th July, USCIS got it on JULY 31st. I sent it to NSC, USCIS transferred to TSC, TSC issued my EAD, AP and a 485 notice on Sep 22 mentioning that they are transferring my case to NSC. That is why it is very important for me to know if they will consider my JULY 31st date or Sep 22nd?

    Immigration Voice is proud to announce the launch of Team IV, the walking/running club of Immigration Voice.

    The goal of Team IV is to raise awareness about the issues faced by highly skilled legal immigrants in the communities we live in and garner support from fellow Legal Immigrants and US Citizens to further IV’s cause.

    Team IV
    The Walking/Running Club of Immigration Voice

    See the list of Current Team IV Members (Updated 7/1/08): http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=259354&postcount=416

    Mission
    Team IV is the walking/running club of Immigration Voice. Team IV’s Mission is to raise awareness for the issues faced by Legal Immigrants and to promote a sense of community by participation in walking/running events throughout the U.S.

    Team IV’s goal is to have over 150 members and raise at least $45,000 to support Immigration Voice and help prevent childhood obesity in the United States.

    Join Team IV
    Team IV members will be working towards accomplishing the following goals:
    1. Raise awareness of Immigration Voice within our local communities and on a national stage.
    2. Accomplish personal goals of walking/running short to long distance walks/runs and lead a healthy lifestyle.
    3. Build a professional network of Team IV members across the country.
    4. Support fundraising efforts of Immigration Voice for future lobbying efforts.
    5. Help fight childhood obesity by partnering with a not for profit organization The Alliance For A Healthier Generation whose mission is to prevent childhood obesity in the United States.

    Team IV Benefits
    Team IV members will receive tips and guidance from Personal Trainers via the Team IV Blog site at http://teamiv-year2008.blogspot.com/. Team IV members will also get a T Shirt and fundraising ideas/materials to reach their pledge goals.

    Check out our Blog: http://teamiv-year2008.blogspot.com/ (Also look for Tips of the Day on this blog from your Team Captain)
    Team IV is not an individual event! We strongly encourage family members to join us, which is why we have two membership types: Individual and Family. The Individual Membership has an annual fee of $50 while the Family Membership has a $75 yearly fee. The Fundraising goal of the Individual Membership is $300/member per year, while that of the Family Membership is $500 per Family per year. These very nominal fundraising goals can be reached by one of more fundraising initiatives done by individual members or working together in small groups.

    Team IV Events
    Each Team IV Member will pledge to participate in at least one of the following three events. Participation includes walking, jogging or running any distance at one of the three Team IV events listed below. Team IV Members are responsible for registration at these events.
    Golden Gate Park Cross Country 5K – San Francisco – August 17, 2008
    Rediscovery 10K and 1 mile - Washington DC - October 19, 2008
    Houston Marathon, Half Marathon, 5K – January 18, 2009

    How To Join Team IV.
    In Order to join Team IV, please send an e-mail to TeamIV@yahoo.com or send a Private Message to NolaIndian32 at www.ImmigrationVoice.org to receive a Membership Form. The Membership Form will be e-mailed to you.

    just found this post on fragomen.com.

    If USCIS is planning on using up all 40K by July 2, and not accepting applications why would they put out a memo like this?

    questions are never ending, the only thing in our control is to push our lawyer to file asap.

    ------

    USCIS to Suspend Premium Processing for All I-140 Petitions Beginning July 2
    06/28/2007

    In a press release issued today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that it will impose a temporary suspension of premium processing services for all Form I-140 immigrant worker petitions from July 2, 2007 to August 1, 2007. Premium services are being suspended because USCIS expects a surge of I-140 filings beginning on July 2, when immigrant visa priority dates become current for nearly all employment-based categories. The agency anticipates that, due to the high volume of filings, it will be unable to meet the 15-day processing goal of the service.

    During the 30-day period, USCIS plans to review its decision to halt premium processing of I-140s, and could extend the suspension beyond August 1 if, due to its workload, the agency remains unable to guarantee 15-day processing. Note that premium processing services are currently suspended for I-140 petitions for which a labor certification substitution is being requested, pursuant to a new Department of Labor (DOL) regulation that prohibits substitution of labor certification beneficiaries beginning July 16, 2007.

    Dont worry. If your LC still in BEC with old PD you are more luckier than the guys going to file 485 now. DOL commited to clear backlong by Sep 2007. Oct VB will come up with priority dates in stone age. If your PD is very old you will get GC with in 6 months. Filing 485 in July and Aug with very new PD will not bring them any fruit. They have to wait more years. 750K 485 and 750K EAD and 750K AP will result in choking the CIS system. They will feel the challange of renewal on time.

    I am very conficent that USCIS is not going to process all 750K at a time. They will definitly modify the processing method, fom current practice. First, they can not schudle FP for all 750K applicants in available ASC centers. So, they will sort the 485 based on PD, and process tham based on PD and country and catagory wise. A guy with PD 2007, will not get FP notice very near to his PD become current.

    so, you will be in better shape.


    Well said....The reality of situation is the only benefit for people who are filing now is the ability to change jobs after 6 months. As far as GC is concerned, it wont become reality for at least 5 or more years for people with 06-07 priority date

    Please use proper language 'money helper'
    You think you can make people who are not even aware of 'day trading' the greatest financial experts, by your 'blogs' (where are they?)
    I don't want your 'cake', for that matter anybody's. You eat well (and have stomach problems). Why bother to educate this nonsense here.
    I asked because when you try people to this trap, you should have the basic decency to tell atleast how much you lost!
    if people are interested in financial investments and if they have enough knowledge, surely they won't come here to read your crap. Anyway those who become educated reading things here are destined to lose.

    i dont understand why people wants to contradict in every post, chintu is trying to share some knowledge if u dont want it thats fine u dont need to contradict it....even i dont do this stock stuff but that does not mean i should contradict it...

    There is no update on Murthy's website - She normally publishes authentic information on her site - So possibly we still may have a chance in July.

    I guess the current wave of forward movement was due to murthy's discussions with Head of DOS.

    I think BPC and new case PERM is same, if it is same position then employer has to withdraw the first case as of DOL new FAQ, if it different position then shouldn't have to withdraw the case, possibly audited by the DOL as of above explained rule..... If the case is audited how long it usually take DOL to decide,

    For 2nd Case should we file by mail, providing certain reason with the application?

    No, I was told that you need to apply online. I just dont know how long ususaly the audit process takes.
    Do you know that?

    Here is the most up-to-date list of people who have reported their issues with the audit delays:

    http://www.mediafire.com/?a3znd69ymyz

    I think its about time that we start brain storming the plan of action, I did like the idea of rally but that had its own Pros and Cons. We need more ideas coming from the people...

    I was thinking that we could draft a letter of request to DoL and have all the members sign on it to reflect the massiveness of the issue that Management needs to know - this is becoming a major issue in the EB immigration process. We could then write up a follow-up article for newspaper or even provide a copy of that signed letter to them. Any input to this?

    I have requested IV Admins to provide some input as well, but if you have any ideas please speak up!

    Here is what one of the IV administrators communicated to me:

    "In order for anything to be successful, it is important that we get as many people affected involved. Based on the number of people who wish to take part in solving the issue we can initiate a campaign.

    Pls let everyone know that IV can help them. We need everyone affected willing to help themselves by coming out and actively participating in a campaign."

    So please, dont disperse or lose hope, we need to gather more people to support the campaign, once started.



    Admins: I am unable to add the files as an attachment, even after making sure that the file size is under the limit. Am I missing something?

    Whats your contact number. Please send me a pvt msg. thanks

    Is there a system in place, for TSC ONLY, using which, an immigration attorney, who is an AILA member, can send an email, with LIN numbers (or A #, i am not sure which), to TSC, if the PD is current? Once this email is received, the system flags the case to be picked up by an IO?

    This system was put in place a couple of years ago, but I am not sure if it is still active, or if it is active, does TSC even bothers monitoring it.

    easy dude..this poll was just to see how many people in IV from 2002 PD for eb3 India. Its just for that purpose and nothing else. I know EB3 is a dead meat for India..I am with you on that..But dont beat your life for it..relax.

    Honestly I don't even see a point for these discussions, polls or predictions for EB3-I. The sooner we accept we are doomed the better. The only way out is to help ourselves but I don't think many EB3's are willing to do that.
    I spoke to several in my office with earlier EB3 PD's (who might not even get GC's in the next 5-10 years !) and of course with EAD's and they have literally substituted EAD for a GC. They were once a part of IV (and some similar org's ?!) but now have completely lost hope and don't care. I tried to motivate them to join IV and support but they feel that IV does not cater to EB3's anymore. Sadly they are not even trying to port to EB2. They are just content with a job and EAD.
    So, I am not really sure how many of us are actually willing to fight ?!
    In fact it's even worse for people like me who are still waiting to file their I-485. Is it going to take us 5,10 or 20 years just to get an EAD ?!

    There are chances of a slowdown in the Dec visa bulletin due to Holiday season and internal audits.

    Pappu,
    Does IV work on getting PDs moving on visa bulletin. EB3 India has been stuck around for Apr 2001 for more than a year. Has IV taken any steps in this regards.
    I would also like to thank you for doing a lot for IV.
