There is a largish I140 backlog today.
There you go. Fantastic factor. People rotting in I140 would indirectly helping to I-140 approved ones.Technically say for an example 40000 EB3-I are stuck in I-140.. they will simply be not considered in 485 queue so USCIS will not see them in "Demand Queue" and that also pushes USCIS to forward dates. Now I-140 stuck , though his date date is current can't do anything except getting frustration.

Fragomen applied for my PERM application last year. The rule is - either advertisement start date or end date should fall in "wage survey duration of 3 months". They didn't follow that. And my PERM got denied. Immediately they applied for my PERM. And it's stuck in Audit. And not to mention, even though it was their mistake, they took fees from employer for filing 2nd PERM.. saying DOL wasn's clear about this rule, and never rejected any application before for this reason.. So its not their mistake!!

I am sorry to tell you that by going to Canada, in the end you may be better off going back home. I lived there as a PR and I have many Canadian citizens that are tired of the lame system back in the Socialist Canada.
Still your end in mind is US. Ok when I have a job in US and waiting in retrogression, what is the adavantage of having canadian PR and moving there unless otherwise you get a jump in career.
Just becos it is retrogressed and you have canadina PR, there is no advantage in moving to Canada.

Hello All:
It is great that the dates have become current and many of our friends here at IV can apply for 485. Congratualtions!!! to all that can apply.
I am in a dilemma and don�t know what to do:
My LC has been approved PR 02/10/05
My I-140 is pending.
I know I can file for 485 but my wife is on F1 � OPT and is working she has applied for a H1 and will get it because of Master�s quota but will not be effective till October, 2007. Can I file 485 now even though she is on F1?
I have two choices, either wait till October 2007 or cancel the H1 go to Mexico and get a H4 stamp for my wife and apply for 485. Please advise what I should do. Thanks!!!

It seems like the group I am currently working in will shutdown in few months and more than half of the people have left the group already. I, therefore, need to find a job in next 4 months or so. I am a computer engineer by profession but trying to pursue a career in SAP functional field or DBA and looking for some advise from professionals in the field on training requirements/opportunities, career opportunities in different SAP modules, and how to basically get started.
There are variety of options available for you, Don't worry about it. It just depends on what are your skill set and how can you showcase your skills.
If you need any further help or advise you can pm me i can send you my contact info

What we get
1. We get number of EB2,EB3 Primary and EB2,EB3 Dependent applications.
2. From the wordings, I won't be suprized if they give a summarized number from 2001.
But if someone else requested this info broken into PD buckets by month and Year, then I think we need to use that. The letter I sent had that wording, but I never received any response yet.
Here is what we don't get
1. Break up by country - Helps folks in EB3 as ROW is not current
2. Some might have not applied for AOS for various reason like their I140 is still pending, Some companies mandate that. - This could be a small percentage
3. Break-up by PD month& year
More insight is welcome.. Pre-adjudicated cases are not approved cases. So they can't eliminate them..
I have received a response on my request last year to USCIS for information on number of AOS applications pending. Here it is:

I guess the cat is out of the bag. Yes, I got my greencard a few weeks ago. Yes, my PD is early 2004.
There are 2 current theories why:-
1. I'm very vocal in the media and lawmakers about the problem, and something made this happen (as my co-workers say "they gave it to you to shut you up")
2. I was a lucky one that was assigned a visa number in early June (when I applied for AOS) - it was approved when my PD was not current.
I'm not going anywhere, nothing has changed with the current policy. It is still broken. If for no other reason, the bizarre circumstances around my GC highlight more unpredictability and uncertainty in the whole process. I hadn't mentioned it before since it really isn't a big deal in the big picture.
Congrats.. and good to know that inspite of getting GC you have decided to stick with non-GC holders like us...
Thanks for your great efforts.

then why are visas about to be wasted yet again this year?
after...they said all numbers were exhausted on July 2?
i think it's not quite that simple.
there is no doubt that lack of numbers is a key key issue. but letting uscis off the hook when they have failed to process 269,000 Green Card numbers since 1994 is not kosher. that is >20% of the backlog right there.
my straightforward NIW application based on national interest service not exceptional ability (which may be more subjective) will take almost a year to process. wow....!
uscis also takes the narrowest interpretations of any law- even when it clearly conflicts with the law's intent- then it takes a lawsuit to budge them- speaking from personal experience and the loss of 4 years in PD in an India line...believe me this is not an agency i feel like defending.
just my 2c.

I have had this query before. I had an H1B stamping on my passport for a company I never worked for. (Company A)
But, when I applied for a H1B for a different company (Company B). My lawyer asked me if I ever worked for them and received any salary from them ... this was a RFE on my H1B case.
All I did was replied to my lawyer with a negative answer to both questions (worked, salary for Company A).
I got my new H1B approval I guess within 30 days of that RFE reply.
You might want to contact a lawyer to draft a reply to USCIS though. I do not have a copy of the letter to provide to you ... Sorry!
Thanks, randomness, for the response.

Financial applications - FI research. BTech Comp Sc IITBombay'96 9 years exp. Currently a part time NYU Masters student in Maths
As Sbabunle said, the quickest way is to join a consultancy.
I am unable to figure out exactly what your *skillset* with those limited keywords, but this is a quick summary of what I can help you with:
1) Help you get an IT job (if you have IT skills). Nothing to worry about not having IT skills. All you need is basic literacy and have to learn how to copy-paste. There are some exceedingly easy jobs like Business Analyst (which are for people who don't know anything) where you would have to copy paste from word documents.
2) If you don't have IT skills, but are willing to learn, I can find mentors who would train you. I can give you a quick intro to a wide-range of technologies and the career prospects.
3) Help get you a best rate. 90% of billing rate.
4) I can even convince that consultancy to donate the rest, 10%, to IV. This is a win-win situation for you as well as IV.
Let me know what all help you need and I'd be glad to help you with anything. My ph# is on my profile. I don't know whether you can access my profile, will send a PM.
Best,
Idler.

SATYAGRAH is an Excellent idea.One day hunger strike near Capitol hill will give enough media attention ! I think it is legal to protest in a peacefull way. It is much better than rally ! I am ready to participate in SATYAGRAH in DC !
Keep aggressively working on SATYAGRAH (insist for truth) to end retrogression. If nothing happen in lame duck session, I would suggest to gether at DC (may be 50-100 people) and have one day hunger opposition. One person can dress like Gandhi to attract attention of media. Send one flower and picture of Gandhi to all Congree members with just one line message and it can be repeated every week.
Good thread !!
There are two things we can do to fight for devil of Retrogression. Similarly Mahata Ganghi did for Independence
1. Release stress, frustration, negativity encounter to all of us due to retrogression. Positive points are highlighed in this thread by many friends. Mahatma Gandhi also did the same to overcome enger, frustration of millions of people.

This is just my thought !!! I am not sure every one like it or not. When MLK Jr inspired by Gandhi philosophy and made revolution, why can't we?

I got a relief. So since I ma on EAD and on I-485 status is it ok to take a break for 3 months and then start the next job. So this break will not affect my status right.
Yes, that is right. On EAD you can stay in-between-jobs
