My GC was approved today... I came to the US 10 years back. It's been such a long journey that it's tiring to even think about it. The backlog processing center, re-starting the GC process, Several H1b visa stamps, July fiasco rollercoster... At this point I think I am just tired - not happy, not sad...
Good luck to everyone out there!
My details:
PD: May 28th 2006
SC: Nebraska
I-485 Status: Card Production Ordered
LUID: 05/04/2011
CONGRATS and Enjoy the new life with freedom of visa renewals.

People from EB2 India June are getting approval left and right with in 3 days of months which is good sign. What does that mean ? DOS prediction for porting is not as high as they thought.
If porting was high then people from EB3 who ported should get more and more approval than people who are in EB2. We will not see any movement in June may be week or two but in July I think we will reach end of 2006. Aug and Sep is DOS's call.

Since the DREAM Act has already got a lot of traction, it might be easier to try to attach the issue of aged-out children with it, rather than trying for something new like amendment to CSPA. A simple amendment will solve the problem for most aged-out children: remove the following words from Sec. 4(a)(1)
"who is inadmissible or deportable from the United States"
That will make the Act apply to all children, not just undocumented. I am sure most congressmen will readily agree, it might actually help change some no votes. It makes no sense to cover only undocumented children and keep other children out.

US IMMIGRATION CLIENT ALERT
June 28, 2007
Employment-Based Immigrant Visa Numbers
May Become Unavailable Sooner Than Expected
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
It has been reported that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has indicated that employment-based numbers may be exhausted sooner than expected and could become unavailable or subject to new retrogression during the month of July. USCIS reportedly has sufficient numbers of immigrant cases in its adjudications pipeline to meet the reported 40,000 employment-based visa numbers that remain for Fiscal Year (FY) 2007. If employment-based numbers become unavailable in mid-month, USCIS could cease accepting applications for adjustment of status before the end of the July, though it is not yet possible to predict when this could occur.
It has been reported and unofficially confirmed by FRAGOMEN that U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has indicated that employment-based immigrant visa numbers may be exhausted sooner than expected and could become unavailable or subject to new retrogression during the course of the month of July. This would be contrary to information in the July Visa Bulletin issued by the Department of State, which stated projected availability through the month of July.
Agency representatives have reportedly stated that USCIS has sufficient numbers of employment-based immigrant cases that are ready to be approved and counted against the estimated 40,000 employment-based numbers that remain for Fiscal Year (FY) 2007. USCIS has not officially confirmed these reports. Our understanding is that discussions on the issue of visa availability have been escalated to a high level in the government and we will continue to seek definitive information.
There has been speculation that a change in anticipated demand may be the result of inaccurate projections by the government about the number of employment-based cases that are both ready for approval and have completed security checks.
If employment-based numbers become unavailable, it is likely that USCIS would stop accepting applications for adjustment of status, regardless of the information contained in the July Visa Bulletin. It is also possible that the State Department could release a Supplemental Visa Bulletin that updates its forecasts of visa availability. Though it is possible that USCIS would continue to accept adjustment applications through July despite visa unavailability, this appears to be unlikely.
As previously mentioned, it is our understanding that discussions are underway both within USCIS and between USCIS and the Department of State, and FRAGOMEN continue to seek more definitive information. We will issue additional Client Alerts as new information becomes available. If you have any questions about this Client Alert, please contact your designated FRAGOMEN professional.

I filed my I-140 in July 07, I-485 in August with PD of June 07(EB3 India). Perhaps there may be many more like me with very recent PDs. Given that it is going to be a very long wait for getting GC, what should be a good approach for me? Use EAD after I-140 is approved (AC21 would be in place by that time) to make the most of the waiting time or play it extremely safe and stay with the current employer till GC is received? :confused:
there is a third option. After 140 is approved, you may change employers (assuming 180 days since 485 filing are up) but still maintain H1 status by doing an H1 transfer. AC21 does not require the use of EAD. It is equally possible to invoke AC21 while still maintaining H1 status. Of course, it may be easier to use EAD for employers that do not want to sponsor H1 since you already have an EAD.

Thanks to the core members and volunteers for working hard on this immigration issue. Hopefully there is light at the end of the tunnel and hope it's not a never ending tunnel :)
I have asked a few of my friends to contribute, but as somebody else has mentioned, it's extremely hard to convince people to contribute. We can't force them :D
Go Immigration Voice !!! Let our collective voices be heard loud and clear ;)
Thanks hopeful08 and rpatel. Need 886 members

I would suggest our discussion with the congressional staff should focues on relief in two parts. Many in media are reporting that there is going to be another stimulus bill after healthcare reforms.
So we should try to get waiver on green card quota limits for buying a house. We can make it part of stimulus bill.
All other things including termination of country quota, racapture, exclusion of dependents can be part of CIR.

Based on the trend of the signups till now and our need for resources to make sure we push hard for our provisions, we have a target of 1000 signups in one month. Some of these signups will also be more than 20 ($100 and $50). This is a achieveable target and will keep us focussed on the lobbying effort and devote resources to go all out in the coming months. We have 112 signups till now. Another 888 needed. If you are reading this post and have not contributed, contribute now.

No change since October bulletin!
Now is the time for all of us to start taking action -I hope more people join their local IV chapters and fight this - retrogression is the sad reality of life even if some people choose to ignore it!

I honestly feel there is no good way to get traction on this issue with the American government. The common masses are against immigration reform and even more so than usual right now because of the recession.
One possible solution is to really prove to the them that we have a choice. I don't know if there is a way to petition our companies to create offices in Canada. Say 1000 people at Microsoft in Seattle or Intel in Portland move to Vancouver. Canadians would love our income, sales and property taxes. And companies would truly like to save money on health benefits, while keeping employees happy and in the same timezone. Employees get green cards quickly. The only downside for the company is that employees are less tied down to their jobs.
Does this make sense?

I guess the important thing is not to lose hope. Easier said than done. Hopefully your service request does the trick for you. How did u go about opening the request? I am in the same boat - checking status every 2 minutes :)
Seems some of us are destined to wait longer..called USCIS and got a service request requested. Not sure,at this point what else can be done (apart from checking case status daily i.e)

As far as I know
GC
1)Allowed to live and work in the US with no restrictions
2)Must be present in the US for at least 6 months in every year
3) Cannot apply for certain government jobs
4)Cannot vote
5)Cannot apply for a US passport
6)Must be renewed every 10 years?
Citizenship
Restrictions 2,3,4,5 and 6 does not apply
That's not correct. There is big difference between h1B annd GC and it is not for 10 years. it is for ever unless you don't fulfill some conditions.
