Pretty much every one is the forum here is happy to receive green dots and loathe when some one gives then a red dot. I know very well that a green/red dot is not such a big deal. What's the red or green dot really mean, when we have bigger things in life to worry about. But the fact is that getting a green dot makes me happy. I am sure it makes pretty much any body in this forum happy at least for a couple of hours.
Now, why don't we use this basic human nature to increase contribution to IV?
Here is my thought:
I will contribute $10 to IV, when ever any one gives me a green dot; subject to a maximum contribution of $50 a month. I will go to my 'User control' panel on a specific date (which shall remain a secret with me) and will donate (# of green dots - # red dots) x $10 to IV.
I welcome everybody in the forum to use my logic and idea with any changes that they see fit in their specific situation.

If you e-filed and no FP notice then you won't be getting EAD in 90 days.
The day you get FP notice from that at least two weeks after FP will be scheduled. After FP it takes 2 weeks to further processed (Card + approval).
Although USCIS says to contact after 90 days, you should think in terms of getting infopass.
Could anyone else provide some more input?
Mine is paper based. Does anyone know how long it takes when its paper based?

Please and i'm begging you that please read the entire post and think for a moment before replying. I'm not in BEC, already filed my 485. I'm aware of the IV efforts towards getting relief for BEC people, I never disputed that. My point has been that the system and July bulletin is unfair (at least from one angle) and that calling it unfair/unjust should not upset others. I don't know what words were used by Bigtime and banning him was fair or unfair.
You want everyone else to suffer just because you suffered? or because older pd's suffered? life is not fair so get over with it... the sheer fact that you are in this country is a god's gift to you! So dont be judgmental about things...
btw my pd is feb 2003 and i'm very happy for everyone who will get the opportunity to get in the door!

Hi,
I have filed my H1 (premium processing)on 26th Sep and till now I didn't receive my H1 receipt.
What could be the reasons and how i Can track about my case.
Can I track my case? is there some number where i can call discuss about my case why I didn't receive my receipt
My Lawyer called the USCIS and they are saying that they are not able to generate the receipt number?
Is somebody else faced the same issue? what could be done now?

I agree.. Let us focus on the main agenda "APPLYING FOR AOS WHEN PD NOT CURRENT"
I read through your reply, however, I found it extremely hard for me to accept your points. You've been probably on EAD too long to remember what a dire condition you came from as an H1B worker. Let's look at it:
As an AOS, you can:
- Work for any employer
- Not work at all
- Travel out of the country without worrying visa delay
- When you got laid off, no need to worry about being out of status or restarting GC
As an H1B worker:
- If you are laid off, everything, years of wait, thousands of dollars, down the drain, and the whole family becomes out of status immediately. And in this dire economy, this is a sword hanging on the head of every H1B worker.
- Worry about re-entry visa each time you travel
With such a huge different, I can hardly convience myself that EAD is 'useless' or 'waste'. True, you'll need to work for same or similar job, but compared to the benefit, it is not nearly as big a problem faced by H1B workers day by day.

Fragomen has been great for me
It depends on which office of Fragomen you are dealing with or should I say which attorney. One of the attorneys in DC office took 8-9 months to file my labor.

Thanks for the post. However I read testimony that said more than 80% of EB visas have been used up. That leaves only 28k (20% of 140k) at most as spill over for Fiscal 2008. Thoughts?
My understanding is they wait until last quarter to give the spill over. But this time they started giving the numbers in 3rd quarter itself. Keep in mind EB1 is current and Eb2 except I and C is still current.
I expect to see at least 20k visa's issued to EB2 I and C.

I disagree with you. I will try again but you can continue to disagree with me.
Guy from ROW joins Company A in 2001. The Company A files his EB2 ROW in 2004.
Guy from Retrogressed Country (India/China) joins same Company A in 2001. The Company A files his EB2 India in 2004.
Both guys are brilliant and have same talent.
ROW guy gets approval in 2005, while Retrogressed guy has not got approval even in 2010.
ROW guy gets promotion and moves up in the ladder in 5 years from 2005 to 2010, while Retrogressed guy cannot move up the ladder even though he qualifies for the promotion because he does not have green card and is required to maintain same or similar job.
Agreed immigration is benefit. But immigration laws should apply equally. It cannot be the case that people from only few countries are retrogressed by 5 more years than the people from all the other countries, which causes people from few countries to be at disadvantage at work.
It would have been fine legally if people from all the countries had to wait for green card for same amount of time, even for 10 years because immigration is benefit.
I think when the law was designed this situation was not considered. Hence, I think the law as it is has had an unintended consequence of discrimination at work.
I therefore think if someone with EB2 from 2004 or EB3 from 2002 has a good chance of convincing EEOC of work discrimination because
CAUSE:
1. He/She is required to have same or similar job; AND
2. He/She is qualified for the promotion; AND
3. People in his/her group and in the same/similar situation who were from ROW received their GC at least 3 years earlier and have got the promotion; AND
4. People from only few countries are retrogressed; AND
5. The only reason for his/her not receiving the GC is visa number unavailability because of country quota and there is no other reason
EFFECT: (though unintended)
He/She cannot get promotion; while his collegue from ROW can i.e. People from only few countries are at disadvantage at work compared to people from ROW.
You are missing the key point here.
Equal Employment Opportunity applies only to applicants who are eligible to apply for that job. It does NOT apply to immigrant visa allocation and any other visa benefit such as H-1B approval.
In other words, Equal Employment Opportunity is applicable to US Citizens and residents with work authorization (Green Card holders, EAD holders, person with H-1B approved) and this is limited to job hiring, job promotion, discharge, pay, fringe benefits, job training, classification, referral, and other aspects of employment. This does not extend to immigration benefit or opportunity lost due to lack of immigration benefit (such as I-485 approval).

felix31,
Do you have a valid AP ? If yes, you wouldn't have problem entering US on AP. Just show your valid AP at POE and they will let you in with a "congratulations". I know someone whose GC was approved when he was out of US. He was let in with his AP with no issues.
approval when not current:
Are you sure you never applied for I-140 on your previous labor ? Your company might have done it. There was a recent occurrence of GC approval where USCIS picked up on old dormant I-140 and approved an IV members GC when she least expected.

Who are you to decide who is needed and who is not needed? Are you sure you do not access other sites for news on immigration; and, IV does not encourage people who come to it for news only?

oh ya, so you have a problem with donor status? Why don't you start with your cable company and ask them why do they charge you any money? Why don't you ask the gas station, that why do they charge you for the gas? Why don't you argue with the cashier at Walmart about the bill you have to pay if you want something? Its easy to be dismissive of others. Its even easier to fault others and argue that just because no one shared the information, so I have license to throw stones at others. But being an Eb2 highly skilled humanity savior personality that you are, why do you need a 3rd class Eb3 programmer to show you that it cost money to get things done. Why can't you see that in last 8 months this nation was going under a presidential election and nothing got done on any issue, other than bailouts and budget? Why can't you see that nothing has happened in the Congress on immigration for any other group? Why can't an highly skilled highly educated chanakya of this planet not see that it is ok for everyone to praise some immigration lawyers who are known to deliberately delay green card application, but its not ok to ridicule someone sincerely working to fix my issue? Why is it ok for me to track my application all day and not complain even once when some tracker website is asking for money to have my question from a lawyer, but will not leave any stone unturned to put the "burden of proof" of innocence on someone sincerely working to stand-up for me because I am too coward to stand-up for myself?
Let me help you understand it because it will be too much for your eb2 species brain to understand. Simple answer - You cannot see past the things that you cannot understand. Just go and ask Walmart cashier as to why he/she is charging you money for the things you want? Maybe that will help.
.
reading above posts it reminds me what I read :
Lot of junk sold in US...
People have gotten used to buying things that have no value. Wherever donation boxes are putup or beggers stand , people put money. Come on one does not need to pay because a other guy is asking.
So its upto the individuals to donate. Personally I dont feel one can do much to accelerate the GC process. If you read the history you can comeup with a list of things that changed the way things got done in US!!
Have a good one guys.

The word on the street is that the Cantwell amendment is not a part of the list of amendments that are currently floating around in Senate offices. There are 20 of them.
Even Bernie Sanders has one more coming (Yes, it is related to H1B). But Cantwell amendment is not there in the list of 20.
Here is the list of 20 amendments floating around in the Senate:
Democratic Amendments
1199 Dodd ---- Family parent visas
1313 Webb ---- Community ties for Zs
1236 Baucus-Tester ---- Strike all reference to REAL ID
1332 Sanders ---- Employers to certify no mass layoff
1344 Byrd ---- Border security immigration fee
1317 Menendez ---- Increased family points in merit system
1340 Brown ---- Employers post job at state agency
1468 McCaskill ---- Repeat violators who hire undocumented workers
1486 Levin ---- Iraqi religious minority refugees
1386 Leahy ---- Refugee Scholars (may instead be 1289 on EB-5 investors)
____ Schumer ---- Tamper-proof biometric social security card (no language yet)
1198 Boxer ---- Reducing Y visa cap by number of Y workers who overstay
Republican Amendments
1161 Alexander ---- Oath of allegiance for naturalization (may move to manager’s package)
1255 Bond ---- Prohibits green cards for Z holders
1473 Coleman ---- information sharing/sanctuary cities (Coleman is redrafting, new language not available)
1335/1258 Domenici ---- Federal judgeship increase (redrafting)
1490 Ensign ---- Preclusion of social security benefits
1465 Graham ---- Enforcement, plus other potential agreed upon amendments folded in (redrafting, content not clear)
1441 Grassley-Baucus Obama ---- Strike and replace Title III (small changes possible)
1440 Hutchison ---- Touchback/strike and replace title vi (redrafting)
1174 Thune ---- Probationary legal status triggers
1318 Chambliss ---- Totalization agreement
1282 Isakson ---- Preemption/Home Depot (redrafting)
