My last and final update to this post. I got my original Green Card (Cards not green color) It was the happiest day, the wait was finally over the air smelled a little better.
My two cents - Have patience explore other means of getting green card if one doesn't work. An attorney once told me there are soo many ways and regulationsto get green card that half of them are not even in law manuals only the old timers know about them. Enjoy life life with green card and with out it is the same.but the time you spend never comes back. If you have problems with your employer just imagine if you didn't have a job. So make the best of your time and enjoy this great land which we call america.
Thanks

Yes, country of birth should get us close.
needhelp...maybe instead of country of chargeability we should ask for grouping by country of birth; this is an actual field required in the I-485 form.
You are right about priority date. It is not a field available in the 485 form. in the 485 form we reference the approved I-140, which is the only place where your see the "Priority Date" field.

Hi Chanduv,
What does NOID mean? In other words we should invoke AC-21 if requested by USCIS?
Appreciate inputs.

We should attend. It matters a lot.. Even uneducated farmers fight for their right. Why should we not show some solidarity and let the nation hear our voice?
Your IV profile says you are not attending the rally, please update your IV profile to say YES so that core will have a head count :)

I think my case is heights of all the Fragomen mistakes.My company approved budget for my case in April 2006.Fragomen started the process right off because they need the initial pay.Now after they did that they informed me that,I should not contact them for what so ever reason because it is aganist the law.Agreed.So I did not contact them for more than 10 months assuming everything is going on fine.Then in May(yep one month before all dates were current), I called to find out whether they filed my case.I was told they found an issue with my add and experience 10months (ago)and they forgot to inform my company or me.Because of them I was not able to file my 485 last year.This august its been 10years in US for me.From then I would tell anyone who talks to me,go with Fragomen you are screwed ,unless your case gets assigned to a desi guy in Fragomen you are screwed with Fragoment from start(its just my observation).

This is THE time. We must sign on to this pony express and push our relief.
1. Fax to the same people listed here in the quote.
2. Fax to your HR/Attorney demanding a relief on the levels of Sch A be given to us.
3. Write letters to editors.
4. Maintain a table on the top of the thread and update the above action #s.
Please send emails and PMs to your friends, fellow IV members etc, etc.
No other threads please, till we get concrete action on this. And don't wait for direction from core IV. We can act independently.
ADVOCACY ALERT: RETROGRESSION: WE'RE GETTING CLOSE
HLG has confirmed that the Senate leadership is comfortable with a proposal to solve retrogression for Schedule A occupation -- registered nurses and physical therapists. It was through grassroots advocacy that we were able to explain to the Senate leadership just how important this issue is. Thank you to everyone who made an effort.
We now must turn our efforts toward the House.
If anyone works with or at any hospitals in the following Representatives' districts, please contact Chris Musillo (cmusillo@hammondlawfirm.com; 513-381-2011 x223) ASAP.
Rep. Lofgren (D - CA) : 16th District - San Jose
Rep. Eshoo (D- CA) : 14th District - San Francisco, San Jose, Santa Cruz
Rep. Pelosi (D - CA) : 8th District - San Francisco and north
Essentially anyone who is located in the Bay Area and wants to see retrogression solved should contact their hospital leadership and see if they are willing to make a few phone calls and sign onto a letter. If they are willing to do that, please let Chris know ASAP. Chris can then explain exactly what needs to be done.
THIS IS VERY IMPORTANT.
We're getting close.

Here we go again!
It can be shown that per country quota leads to (unintended) discrimation at employment and hence the GC per country quota is illegal.
Employment based GC per country quota => A very long wait (eg. more than 3 years) in same or similar job position for people born in only few countries => Hinderance to career growth because one cannot advance from engineer to managerial position even though he/she is qualified for the promotions while his colleagues from other countries can => Person from an oversubscribed countries such as India does not have equal opportunity to career advancement because of a very long wait time difference between people born in these 2 or 3 countries and people from all of the other countries.
Key Point: Equal opportunity employement advancement is protected by "Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (Title VII)" and hence the Supreme Court can overturn the per country quota limitation if the Supreme Court finds that the per country quota leads to discrimination at employment.
National Origin Discrimination & Work Situations:
The law forbids discrimination when it comes to any aspect of employment, including hiring, firing, pay, job assignments, promotions, layoff, training, fringe benefits, and any other term or condition of employment.
National Origin Discrimination (http://www.eeoc.gov/laws/types/nationalorigin.cfm)
Someone with more than 3 years of wait and still in same or similar job description should definitely be able to file a lawsuit against the US Government and claim compensation for the lost opportunities.

I am at the final stage,
my attorny just sent back my DS-230, and just got wait for the dates to br current.
so i can get the last bit at the embassy sorted, and yes i am doing CP, its my only option. and yes i do have all the rellevant experice and qualifications, i never would have got my i140 other wise.
it carnt stay at AUG 02 for ever. it will move, just got to see what happens.
Whether or not you have passed LC and 140 makes no difference on the wait time. I still say about 4 more years unless there is a change in the law. Sorry, I'm rather unfamiliar with the CP side of applications.
And Sunny1000 - no, you haven't missed anything

Don't even touch them with a stick. Their services stink.. and they pose as acting ethically but walk a fine line while representing you. They have consistently advised companies ( unfortunately some of the Big fortune 500 one's as well) about how to slow down the process of immigration and have them use it as a retention tool. They advised my previous employer that my job profile did not meet the EB-2 requirements as I was in professional services...! Every one that I hire has a masters and even the client locations that I work at, you did not find any one with my skill set who could not qualify for EB-2. They advised my company to file uned EB-3 to be on the safe side and that too non RIR. I was told that even the position of CEO does not require a a EB-2 qualification and that since about 200 people were laid off 2 years back in acompany that has 9000 employees, my RIR application would be denied. This happened with the Fragomen office out of Dallas in the year 2002. I hope they have improved since.
I was smart enough to say bye to that company and join another fortune company that does not have Fragoment as their lawyers. (I checked on that before I joined them).
I would urge tech industry employees to write to thrir HR departments and their V.P's about this widely used practice at Fragomen and that their representation of the case is not dual. They have acted as black sheep on other cases I know of in simiular situations.

I would not agree with your interpretation. You are insinuating that a majority of the EB based green cards sponsored by employers are similar to family sponsored green card and also that people are favoured for their nationality.....how did you arrive at this conclusion?
Possibly your exposure may be limited to mom and pop shops and that may be the basis of your analysis....!!
Working in a "regular" company and having the authority to hire people in my department, "nationality" thoughts have never crossed my mind....!!!
Everybody is entitled to their opinion. It's pretty much an open secret that staff augmentation firms (which take up a pretty good amount of h-1 and GC) are involved in nepotism and filing for their own country people.

Well, it's time to break the news.:p I didn't attend the rally because
(1) the first and foremost reason: a recent surgey at my backbone , and I may not be able to walk for more than 15 minutes continuously.
(2) the second and honest opinion: Even If I were doing well, I wouldn't have attended the rally due to the yelling-nature of words from some of the Core leaders, and their pushy messages.
(3) the third and final point: The rally pictures and the rally experience of other members have impressed me very much and have totally changed my mind. So, next time, whereever you organize the rally, I will be there.:p
This is my honest opinion about my abscence. I hope noone will jump on me for my reasoning.
Regards,
IK
do not want to jump in here but inskrish disappoints me very much.
i have engaged with him more than once. he complains about someone or the other being rude on a non-stop basis. i would like to hear from him which core members has yelled and posted pushy messages. most of us desist from such actions most if not all of the time. actually he probably has no clue who core members are. after all it's not announced on the July 2 filers thread. in the past inskrish walked around with a red square to his name and accused me of being responsible for it. maybe he needs to see how many comments he gets in his user cp. interestingly enough i may be responsible for the green. this kind of passive aggressive behavior is not going to be of any help whatsoever to us.
i'm glad to hear he has a change of mind. but i will believe it when i see it. so far i see no change in the constantly complaining-accusing tone from him. words matter. constantly putting down others and acting superior is not constructive to an effort that is voluntary- each one of us- and certainly you franklin- have given up a lot to push this effort forward. words from the likes of inskrish do make me wonder why we bother.

Following is copied from Greg Siskind's Blog, and it makes me wonder if it means that those who who filed I-140 by mail can submit I-485 with the I-140 receipt number only that can be obtained from the cleared check?
---------
But you need an I-140 receipt to file the adjustment petition and the I-140 receipt can take forever to get. So what to do?
File the I-140 electronically, of course. You get a receipt right off your own printer. Then submit the I-485 with that receipt. Brilliant and so simple.

What is fair is that we treat everyone here (and everywhere else for that matter) with respect without regard to the country of birth or the EB category. Some are more educated than others, some are more skilled than others, and some are more lucky than others when it comes to green card but what is common to everyone of us is that we are in this mess together. To be honest I don't think we are here to figure out what's best for United States, we are here to get our green card, live the American dream, and make the best out of it.
Therefore, let's not make this GC journey anymore difficult than it already is by fighting amongst ourselves about who is more skilled and who is more deserving. Besides, constant bickering among the IV members will only further divide and alienate more members and won't help us in any way so I suggest that we avoid doing/saying things that has the potential of dividing or alienating members.

My PD is Dec 2006. I got my EAD 15 days ago and the card is valid for 2 yrs. So the guy that approved my card doesn't believe Dec 2006 is a possibility this year!
You should be EB10 and not EB2! Some folks in this forum are really crazy!
There is no relationship between approval/duration of EAD and movement of PDs.
By the way, since India won all the previous encounters with Pak in world cups, India will win on Wednesday!

I agree with you there is no point in moving to canada if u are going to do the same job there. You might as well do it here.
The point is that if you move to canada or any other place you have the freedom to take a higher position and your spouse gets to work too. Thereby improving your income. I think these decisions are really based on personal circumstances. For some ppl it might be the right thing to do, for some it may not be.
Again what is the point in moving to Canada just because you are tired in waiting here. Are you going to do the same job in Canada. If yes, I would do that here.
For me, only person who could move to Canada is:
1. Way better career jump.
2. Do not have wavery mind of coming back to US. If happens come back, but do not start with that as you will not lead happy life.
3. Keep the GC processing alive in US.

Yes what you are saying is true. I am not denying that but how long can you stay on
H1B is the question. But yes I also started with 50k but I am moving up. IT salaries are higher. I know banks paying 70K and going even more above 80K. You can also work as independent contractor type unlike H1B. No middle men inbetween and all expenses before tax.
Yes ofcourse US is a far bigger economy. But I was born in India, what can I do. Within my contraints I am looking for best possibility.
When I feel down/upset I look at this video and I feel far better and motivated: YouTube - Man with no legs and arms - Inspiring story (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nQPmY4nIjVE&feature=channel_page)
Since your wife is Canadian citizen, basically your downside risk in US is hedged. If things don't work out you can quickly move to Canada. But for others with Indian passport
it is not so. Like I said before I am not against working in US under TN1 or H1B. Just that
I am willing to work under desperate body shopper slave like conditions. If I get position under direct client in H1B its fine with me. In fact when your company knows that you are not that desperate they also treat you differently. Is your wife also born in Canada, if so then it is even beter, you are out of the EB-I trap. You should definiately look for US options.
Long back when we were working under H1B/OPT for a company in India, there was the annual bonus/promotion announcement. And I saw that none (except 1) of the H1Bs got a promotion. Just one H1B got promotion and that person had recent married a US citizen. Basically the company knew that its leverage over him is gone and in order to retain him they need to promote him. It is all a zero sum game my friend.
