Oh Boy!, I feel like hugging you (Jadu ki zappi). By the way my story is very similar to you
Came to USA in 1999 to do MBA from a top US school. Joined a multinational org in 2001, filled my labor in 2002, got laid off in 2005, Filled my another labor in 2005.
But look , I am cool!:)
Frist, sorry for the confusion. I do have a 05/2007 PD at Atlanta PERM center. I came to the country in 1999 for grad school, started working with OPT in 2001, converted to H1 in 2002, laid off in 2002, started working again in 2002 with a new employer, filed labor in 2004 and got stuck in BEC ever since. The employer refused to file PERM, so I had change to a new company in 2006, and had PERM filed in 2007 and got stuck there again. Your are right, I am technically not in BEC, but psychologically I always feel I am in there.
I did not know what was 'disruptive' and 'inappropriate' about what I said. This is a board for BEC victims, so BEC victims are not allowed to express our frustration? I just expressed my depress and my concerns over how much this will retrogress the PD without targeting anyone. When tons of people run in front of our queue and shut us out in cold, we are supposed to 'enjoy the moment' with them? If so, when USCIS said no one can file 485 on July 2nd, why none of the people enjoy the happiness with those who already filed, because that will make their processing time much faster. People said we should feel happy for those who can file, because they now can get EAD/AP for their spouses, as if our spouse do not need EAD/AP. And as a result of this total mess, I don't think we'll have hope in another several years to see the date current.
IV core keeps telling us, BEC is always on their agenda. Really? If they did not even understand our pain and consider our frustration a disruption to people's happiness, how can we expect them to help? I still think IV is a great org, as it's the first such organization to speak out for legal immigrants. But when it comes to BEC victims, I did not see IV changed anything, or intend to change anything.
btw my original ID is still being banned

This is very interesting. Please keep us posted on future developments like when you get your card. Lot of us have been debating about RD and ND. The fact that you have got an RFE on your 485 application is also interesting. It could really be your GC.
Have you recently applied for you EAD? They might have approved your EAD and updated your status for the 485 app by mistake. Just trying to over analyze the situation :). Anyway keep your fingers crossed till you get your physical cards.
Earlier today I got an email from USCIS that said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Card production ordered.
On June 29, 2008, we ordered production of your new card. Please allow 30 days for your card to be mailed to you. If we need something from you we will contact you. If you move before you receive the card, call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."
Then by the evening my I-485 said
"Application Type: I485 , APPLICATION TO REGISTER PERMANENT RESIDENCE OR TO ADJUST STATUS
Current Status: Notice mailed welcoming the new permanent resident.
On June 30, 2008, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later. If you move before you get your new card call customer service. You can also receive automatic e-mail updates as we process your case. Just follow the link below to register."

Bunnyboy is a member of IV's forum and he had a magic sequence number to call USCIS, that will hit the USCIS IO not the CS dept.
Fdbl another name of fragomen. I wanted to say that fragomen lawers are well respected within USCIS. The IO was very polite after hearing my case was filed though fragomen.
Till now i or my wife does not have any RFE throughout our L1/L2 to GC. Now GC is in hand.
I know they are little slow, but you have to followup to make it fast. One thing is they donot take shortcut in process. Thats the reason many are frustrated. Desi lawers and companies can go to any extent and we should not compare that with a professional law firm.
I am wondering your logic for using "desi lawyers". They graduated through the same system as any other "book smart" attorney in the "smart" fragomen system. I think it is always a negative to go through a large law firm. An association with a large firm must not be confused with efficiency. Who knows...might be freebies which they provide to HR grp of the large firms keeps them in the picture.......................

Yes, I did. He is our company's attorney. He is very good and experienced attorney but he is too slow.
If you are looking for experienced attorney, go with him but if you are looking for faster service then look for someone else.
Does this attorney approachable ? Does he answer your phone calls ?
Does he promptly reply to your emails ? Does he clarify your doubts ?
Do you deal with him directly or does your company rep speak for you ?
How is his fees ? Is he expensive or affordable ?

You are talking as if IV made this change possible. This is nothing but conspiacy theory that you have made up. It was entirely CIS decision to reinterpret the spill over rules. I had never heard any of IV member on this forum or in state chapter updates talking about spill interpretation campaign. This has been a suprise for most people ( a pleasant for some of us) You tell me what can IV do here tell CIS to revert back to EB3 ROW in which case both Eb2 & Eb3 Ind remain U for time eternity.
Yes, what I posted was meant to be hard,
ask a EB3 person if he was happy when EB3 was available and Eb2 was not.
Did any one try to justify the reason why EB2 was UNAVAILABLE? No.
Did anyone here feel unhappy that EB2 moved so nicely? No.
Then why are we not seeing a single post from anyone which says we as aspiring immigrants are not being failrly dealt with when EB3 did not move with EB2.
Instead we see posts about why EB3 is not moving and explanation of reasons behind it.
Is there a hidden agenda here, NO. Not from IV, am i trying to prove something like that? I dont think so.

i sent an email to Senate Lieberman about the gap between the old and new system and h-1b extension:-
You might be the only Senate who cares legal immigrants and our contribution to US economy and its future. Some immigration attorneys and legal immigrants find out that the current CIR bill draft ends the existing employer-sponsored immigration system well before the inauguration of the merit-based point system. (please refer to Sec. 502 (d) (2) under Title V � Immigration Benefits on page 264 and 265 of bill text (SA 1150). If the CIR bill was signed into law, some departments would take time to establish procedures and it might be YEARS away to get merit-based immigration system ready for accepting applications. But the bill already ends the employer-sponsored system on �the date of the introduction of the [Insert title of Act]�. Can you see the gap between the old and new systems? At the same time, extension of H-1B is not possible if the immigration application filing is less than 365 days under the merit-based system. (please refer to Sec. 419 (d) (1) on page 239). For those who are already at the second 3-year of H-1B, we would face very unfair situation if the CIR bill were enacted as it is now: filing under the employer-sponsored system were invalid but the merit-based point system were not ready to accept any application yet. Previous time elapses until the H-1b couldn�t be extended after the 6th year.
I suggest to keep the current employer-sponsored immigration system running (accept new employment-based applications and the filing during such period is valid) until the merit-based system is able to process any applications and to reduce the 365 days to 180 days in sec. 419 (d) (1). Without any changes to eliminate the gap between the new and old systems, some of legal immigrants have to leave the current positions and the employers have to deal with unnecessary turnover.

Hey guys
Just received email from CRIS regarding I-485 denial notice for both me and my wife.
I used AC21 after 9 months of filing I-485. My I-140 was approved before even filing I-485 in July fiasco.
My attorney promptly sent AC-21 and G-28 and i did see LUD on my and my wife's I-485 after that.
My previous company informed me sometime ago that they are going to revoke I-140 and probably they did and i am assuming that's what triggered this.
This is certainly a big damm mistake they did even after sending AC-21 docs and G-28.
sorry to hear about your new issue. Your case can be easily fought back, cheer up. My case was AC 21 and fortunately my I 485 was approved last month without any RFE, but before approval I spoke to NSC customer service and got hold off a very good guy , who happened to be very helpful, he mentioned that the letter requesting to port the employer or change of attorney need to be addressed to appropriate division, failure to do will cause all these problems, since it take time for the USCIS to route the letter to correct division and most likely getting lost. The only solution to address this kind of problem is to bring the much needed regulation to AC 21 , a formal application process where we can track the progress.
Cheer up, good luck
regards

If you file today it will be past october when you have to choose between EB2 and EB3 (I485 stage for EB2) till that time you have both the process going on EB2 and EB3.
If you start EB2 process in October it will take 6 to 9 months to clear labor and I 140..
It is taking average of 1 year for I140. And there is a possibility of PERM audit , which can derail all your plans.

H1B visa is meant to be for people with skills that are in shortage in the US. If any H4 feels that he/she should be able to work, he/she should get a H1B. I agree that it may be difficult for some H4s to find a sponsorer for H1B, because their skills are not in shortage in the US.
Some spouses may join their H1B counterparts in the US, with an expectation that they will eventually get the GC and will be able to work, no matter what their skill set is. This is a reasonable expectation. So, blame the retrogression.
I do not believe that H4s should ever be allowed to work. They just take away jobs of more skilled workers who are unable to get H1Bs and who are still in their home countries trying for one. Skill-less free riders!
Now, please don't bash me with counter arguments!! ;)
After making such a harsh statement as above,"I do not believe that H4s should ever be allowed to work", I wonder whether you have your spouse with you in the US. If yes, you are not compassionate about their situation.
The L2 visa people were able to get EAD, not only because their spouses had good influence, but also because they showed respect to their spouses , who compromised their career, to travel with them to the United States, while they were chasing the dream.
If you do not know the meaning of compromise, and mutual respect, there is no point in running a campaign like this for the welfare of immigrants.
How can you totally ignore the plights, of H4 people, and run a campaign like this for green card. I believe that it is pure selfishness if you do the same. I mean maybe you are not married, or may be you and your lucky spouse, may be the one who didnt have to fight for any H1B lottery while in H4 and to make the tough choice of being with your spouse or losing the career. If being lucky in your life is the reason of making such harsh comment, without even understanding others problem, then I just want to advice that luck is a very tricky thing, and may be you will also face issues in this foreign land for which you might not get any support.
Also, dnt just assume that just because you got your H1, you and your friends outside the US are smarter than the H4 people. Some of us also had an enviable career back home and which is respected through out the world, but made the compromise as we cared about the career of our spouses in the US.
Also I heard people saying in this thread, if H4 people are smart, get H1 and that is the rule and we cannot change it. What about the H1 Lottery? I thought this entire group is for bringing in postive reforms to the current law. If not why dnt we wait for GC for 10 years. That is the house rule and we need to follow it!
With people like you in this group, I feel dissappointed support this cause.

Even if they approve the GC, they can always revoke and ask you to return the card. This has happened somebody, I don't remmeber which forun I read about it. Call them up and inform them that your PD is not current. You can even go to local ASC and talk to an IO. If you have an attorney, inform him/her.
