How would it be to forward the media coverage links to all the attorneys so that they are aware of what is happening and also provide some kind of support or atleast get associated with IV. Also some members may take the initiative of posting these links to thier blogs so that every one will get to know about the IV through others blogs.

As it has been 85 days since my 485 reached in NSC and updates, so I called the 800-375-3283 and transfered to IO, she was very polite and told that now they are taking 120 days to issue receipts. ( ware...waa...how fast service)
As CAA dude post a 800-246-8253 this is Custom #. (lol)
So they started to say now all we have to wait for another 30 days, there is no other way to get the receipt #, she said call once in a week if u are lucky, u may get ur receipt #,
yes sending fax, e-mails, create a query this make sence to invistigate the pending application.
Ok again ur count down starts against 120 days..........

I pray that your analysis is correct :)
someone had posted the following on Gotcher's blog
"I got this info from a source that for FY 2009, EB-3 India only used 2224 visa numbers and EB-3 china used only 1027 visa numbers. EB-3 Mexico used 3752, EB-3 Philipine used 5268, EB-3 ROW used 25081 visa numbers respectively. Total EB-3 visa nubmers used in FY 09 is 37352."
total 140,000
per country limit 140,000 * .07
per country per category comes to ~3k each

USCIS has decided that the flowers sent by skilled, legal immigrants to director Dr. Emilio Gonzalez will be forwarded to injured service members recuperating at Walter Reed Army Medical Center and at Bethesda Naval Hospital.
We welcome the fact that Dr. Gonzalez acknowledged the symbolic gesture of our protest. We are even more happy that these flowers will brighten the day of our injured service brethren.

I just called USCIS and they asked me to wait for 90 days. Our application was recd on July 23rd by B.GERKENSMEYER at NSC. She said that NSC has is processing Dec 21, 2006applications now. Couldn't give me an answer when I told her that USCIS website is showing dates of Aug 9th, 2007 as of today.

While FBI is the bottleneck because they are responsible for processing name checks, the USCIS shares full responsibility because
1) NC completion is not required by law to adjudicate AOS
2) NC requests from the USCIS do not have a processing timeframe, so why FBI should care if those requests are lingering forever?
3) the USCIS is aware of the problem, but did nothing to fix it, trying to hide it by creative reporting instead.

Thank you for contacting me and expressing concern regarding
immigration.
As you are aware, the massive influx of illegal aliens is one of the
most important issues confronting our nation. According to the Center for
Immigration Studies, there are at least 8 million illegal immigrants in
the United States. The United States Census Bureau estimates that the
illegal population in the United States grows by at least 500,000 per
year. All Americans have good reason to be concerned about this issue,
given the dynamics of assimilation, language and employment raised by
illegal immigration.
Amnesty proposals and guest worker permits are just some of the options
that Congress currently is considering. Another possibility is the H2B
Working Visa, which allows foreign nationals to enter the United States
temporarily to meet a one-time need in non-agricultural employment.
This is a good option, but I would not support H2B visas whose provisions
could not be enforced strictly and were not offset by immigration
cutbacks in some other area.
The problem with most of the options before us is that they do not deal
with the fundamental problem at hand: Millions of immigrants have
entered the country illegally. When we can establish firm, thorough and
effective enforcement measures we can better address the appropriate level
and need for H1 and L1 visas.
Border control is essential for our economic and physical security. I
appreciate your deep concern with this issue, and will keep your
thoughts in mind as Congress considers our legislative options.
Again, thank you for contacting me. Feel free to contact me again if I
might be of assistance in the future
----------
Indeed i approached him specifically for backlog reduction and other important features (similar to those in S1932 Sec8001) but i got the above response.
Anyway, one thing is very clear: We need to increase efforts in a much productive manner to clearly emphasise on legal immigration which is broken & SHALL NEVER be kept in the same tray of illegal immigration

Let us assume that EB2 is going to be current in a year or even sooner than that. Given that situation, and arguing that about 500 people jumped ahead into line over you in to EB2 from EB3, still I do not foresee that their GC's will be approved before the people who are already in line, because
1) as FIFO is not being followed by USCIS, probably they are processing cases based on RD,
2) PD porting is effectively done at the time the second I-140 IS APPROVED. At I-485 stage you can only hope to PD recapture and cross your fingers after sending a no fee letter. This will surely would need additional scrutiny, hence is not a so called 'Low hanging fruit'. Even if an EB3 person wants to start his process right now, it will not be probably before a year and half to two years before he/she is ready to port, and by that time you are past the gate or significantly nearer.
so my point of view is if you look at this thing negatively, you would have a Heartburn and related health issues, but if you are positive and an optimist you would deserve what you get.
stay healthy! that is more important than stressing yourself on issues which in the long term do not matter really. (You will get GC on or two rears later in the worst case scenario). cheer up folks:D:D:D
The law would allow him to port his EB3 PD just like how it is doing now. he will not be in the same situation, isn't this better now?

I'm planning on sining up for vonage. Please send me an IM and I'll respond back.
Because both of us are saving $50 each, I expect you will donate at least $25, and I'll will donate $25 for my part.
Thanks for supporting IV.

AP can be used to re-enter and you can continue on your H1 if it is valid. Your H1 is invalidated only if you use EAD.
I just came back to US using AP, I had booked an appointment for Visa interview. But after seeing the PIMS mess I decided to use AP. It was very smooth and easy.
A question though: is'nt it abandoning your H1B1 visa tenure if you enter on AP even with a valid H1B remaining?[/QUOTE]
Well good for you that you could use AP. We had AP ourselves, but I wanted to use the remaining H1B period, hence the big mistake. Now the only way to use AP is to withdraw our visa applications, get the passports, and fly back. I will resort to this ifthe passports are not returned by the coming weekend. Chennai consulate sucks!!

According to the report of AILA, State Department had exhausted FY 2010 immigrant visa numbers as of 09/16/2010 for the following preference categories and the State Department would not allocate any immigrant visa numbers to the visa posts and the USCIS for these categories during the period. The affected preference categories include all family-based preference categories, employment-based preference categories of EB-2, EB-3, EB-EW, EB-4 and eertain Religious Worker categories. The State Department will keep taking immigrant visa number requests from the visa posts and the USCIS even during the gap period but the State Department will not be able to allocate the numbers until October 1, 2010 or thereafter when the new FY 2011 immigrant visa numbers will become available for these preference categories. There may be some cases for which the USCIS has requested and the State Department has already allocated the visa numbers before 09/16/2010 and these I-485 cases will receive approvals even during the cap-gap period. However, in general, I-485 applicants will witness either a slow-down or vacuum in receiving I-485 approval notices and news until October 1 or thereafter because of the gap. The gap will last only for about two weeks and I-485 applicants should keep patience during the period.

Ron Gotcher Latest ' ImmInfo Newsletter' states clearly 485 denial is illegal
***********
CIS issuing illegal AOS denials based on I-140 revocations
Recently, the CIS has been issuing denials ofadjustment of status applications in cases where the applicant has an approved I-140, and an AOS application pending for more than 180 days, but the petitioning employer has attempted to revoke the approved I-140.
These denials are patently illegal. They violate both CIS policy and statutory law. Both statutory law and explicit CIS policy are clear on this subject: An employer may not revoke an approved I-140 petition after an adjustment of status application has
been pending for at least 180 days. While we have not seen denials of any of our cases, we have seen a number of such denials by applicants who have contacted our office to assist them with filing motions to reconsider. It is shocking that the CIS
continues to issue denials even after the first MTRs were submitted. They are issuing these denials with full knowledge that there is no legal basis for what they are doing and that their actions violate existing law.
Anyone who receives such a denial must file a motion to reconsider immediately. The CIS has said that they are processing MTRs within 60 days. If the MTR does not result in a reversal of the denial within 60 days, the applicant should proceed in US District Court immediately to see a reversal. Immediate action is necessary to prevent the accumulation of unlawful presence following the denial.

So, a blood donation drive is also a worthy next step to this.
But we also should make sure that the news is spread to common people too.

I�m July 2nd filer application reached to NSC at 9.1 am and signed by R Mickle
Till date my checks have not been cashed. When I Called service center yesterday they gave me Receipt Number for I-485 (LINXXXXXX) but again she told me that�s its Invalid then she put me on hold and checked something then see verified my address, Social security number also My Attorney�s Name and address. After confirming this information she told me Receipt Number of I-485 is yours but its Void in our system let me check it online and online it shows case received and pending.
Now she said its weird its showing Valid in online system and in our internal system its Invalid. Then she asked me did you file 131 and 765 along with this I said yes then she said let me check it and found nothing.
She has created one service request for me and asked me to wait another 45 days.
Meanwhile I told this matter to my Attorney and he told me not getting receipt is normal and I could have asked you to wait till October 15�th but you are there in the system and why they have stopped processing you applications looks strange to me also applications is not been rejected. So he told me that he will write letter to USCIS director to investigate this issue and assured me that as long as we are in their system so don�t have to worry but he told me that if Director don�t respond in one month�s time then we will go to court but he is optimistic that situation may not go to that.
If anyone of you in similar situation please let me know.
