i think we probably oughta wait for some lawyer to give an explanation. i know for a fact previously you could port without an approved I-140. My lawyer supported the decision.
But if this memo actually means that you need to have an approved I-140 prior to porting then what happens to people who actually ported w/o I-140 being approved? I don't know.....I am a little nervous now.
Also, it'll be interesting to find out when will this memo become effective? I assume its May 30 as that was when the memo was written.
I had asked TWO different lawyers and they were BOTH 100% sure that to use the AC-21 you needed an APPROVED I-140 not an approvable I-140.

If I were you, I would talk about my problem and how frustrated I am to ALL my colleagues and friends and well-wishers and get atleast 100 letters that will help to pass the "filing before PD current" admin fix which is part of the current campaign.
I dont see any light at the tunnel. PDs will not move until they allow 485 filing even PD is not current.

I got LUDs on 2/10 on both mine and my wife's 485. My wife got an RFE email on 02/13. I do not know what this means either...
Looks like lot of EB-3 applications who filed 485 at the end of june got LUDs last week, some with RFE and some just soft LUD.
I got LUD on 2/10 for both my 485 and my wife's 485., though no RFE so far.

I'm on HB1 but my visa which was issued based on previous H1B has expired. My current HB1 is going to be extended in a few months. I kept postponing my travel to India because of the hassle involved in re-validating visa. I will have to use time off my vacation to get the visa stamp. I did not travel for almost three years. Now, I must travel in November and have no option but to go through the cumbersome process of visa revalidation. It would be such a blessing if I could get the stamping done here.

If they process by RD, then this month TONS of people with 2007/2006 PD will apply for 485 along with 1999-2005 guys.
So if 1999-2000 guys are even late a day, then they will be behind 10k people (Assuming 10K files per day). If USCIS processes 100 applications per month, then a delay in single day cause delay of a year.
Again, I pray for those guys who are still stuck with BEC with PDs 2000-01-02-03-04-05. Their situation is really bad.
This will be a catch 22 situation. If they retrogress to 2004, then how would they know to process the 485 application based on PD. They will keep on processing the 485 based on RD. If they see some PD of 2004 or earlier, they will approve else they will continue the 485 processing.
In this case, it is better for people with later PD 2005-2006-2007 to wait for couple of weeks in July and file later. This will make sure no VISA number is lost in coming years if they could process some earlier PD cases. Just a thought.
Example: July 2nd-10th, if 100K 2006/2007 PD cases were filed and July 11th-20th 100k 2000-2004 PD cases were filed and the VB has 2004 as current date. In this case, USCIS spends time in processing non current PD 485 applications for a year or two. Ultimately the visa numbers are lost.
In a way it is always RD, even if it is retrogressed, they process by RD within the eligible cases with some exception scenarios.

Look at it this way -- An additional quota means more regular EB visa's to go around which will help all. Asking to give 20k more GC's for US Graduates will sound more easy on the ears than asking for a general 20k increase.

Not related to this thread but I did not want to open a new thread for this question..
As you can see I am EB2-I (info above) and am waiting in line for my turn but I am just wondering if L1 route to GC is quicker? If so then how?
Not that I am trying to do it because I can not :) but I know someone who just got his GC via L1 in matter of months and here we all EB guys are waiting..
Thanks.
I know people (Indian) who have applied for EB1 after being in L1 for a couple of years and got the GC in 6 months. There is a category for International Manager (or something similar) that qualifies them for EB1.

We all migrated for one reason or other. Don't add salt to an open wound.
I'm not from Andhra but I'm an Indian and always proud to be known as Indian. No matter what this place has to offer at time of crises if you can't help then don't hurt.
I have been on F1 before, I'm waiting in line for GC to be approved. This forum is for information that will help.
Can the Admin delete any post that hurt people.

For AP renewal, do I need to send photos by mail again? I thought USCIS uses the picture on file. Folks please correct me if I am wrong. Could some one PM me the letter format?
Appreciate your help
This is the part I don't understand, during Efile on the intrsuctions list, it never says that you have to send photos
Here is the list
DO attach one copy of this Confirmation Receipt as a cover page for the supporting documentation that you
are submitting.
� DO keep the extra copy of the Confirmation Receipt and the copy of the application for your records.
� DO NOT send a copy of your e-filed application with your supporting documentation.
� DO NOT include any applications or fees with your supporting documentation for this e-filed application.

I think I made a mistake by being sarcastic about the bill. Members assume that I have given up hope.
That is not true.
I am going to close this thread.
This was a joke on the bill and meant to point out the injustice. Please ignore this.
I have been to DC 4 times this year in 2007 and I or other core group members are not going to give up on amendments. And Aman has been there every 2 weeks. I am not kidding. He has been there either on Mon-Tue or Thu-Fri 2 times each month doing meetings in Senate offices and educating and finding sponsors. We are not going to give up now after all that hard work just because the bill is ridiculous.
Just because I am taunting the injustice of the bill doesnt mean that I or others have given up. WE ARE in position to put in amendments. How much, I dont know. But pretty sure that we will make a good amount of difference.

Let us see if we can get at least 200 people who vote on this. Many the great souls are talking about complaining to USCIS about EB1s getting GCs using shortcuts. Some of them suggested LET US write to ombudsman office and USCIS & blah blah. Let us see how many folks come forward and vote for this.

Many of them were not confident of clearing labour on their own credentials ( BSC Zoology, BBA, BCOM etc..) or probably wanted to jump the line.
don't you think they will face problems in 140 if their education doesn't match that in labour... its not as easy as you told..
jumping the line part i understood. but the first part of your quote is not true...

Most of the EB2's are very happy with the bulletin (which they should be) but I also see most of them are non-donors (or the free riders).
Thanks IV as always for the updates and keeping the hope alive.

Even as it stands RIGHT NOW without the "New AC21 Rules", you cannot use AC21 unless your I-140 is approved. The basic principle of AC21 is "If your I-140 is APPROVED AND your I-485 application has been pending for more than 180 days" you can switch jobs and not lose anything.
Wasnt it I-140 approved or approvable ? Or am I missing something ? :confused:

Very well written article.
American have heard ad nauseum the concept of anchor babies from Lou Dobbs and his ilk.
We need to introduce them to the concept of "ANCHOR JOBS" ie what we do. We anchor the jobs of leading industries to the USA so that the rest of the economy can continue to flourish based on those jobs and the spin offs.
We need to let the ordinary american know that it is in his/her best interest for us to help keep cutting edge american industries here.
The few lazy american techies who make 6 figure salaries and yet still want more, need to be exposed for what they really are.............protectionist losers who put self interest above country. Unfortunate that they take that route rather than see the real shortages in the industries of tomorrow. They really are in pole position to make money out of it as well, if they just developed some entrepreneurship.
