My labor certification (Traditional EB-3) is stuck in BEC since last 5 years. It is completely beyond my understanding why it took so long for BEC to process my case. Now everyone is rejoicing USCIS's decision to accept all green card applications, but I am paralyzed with the fear of facing another huge backlog on I-485 applications. One government agency sits on our applications for years and another government agency throws us further back in the line to cover up its blunders and guess what who pays the price: WE RULE-ABIDING, LINE-WAITING FOLKS.
Even if I get my labor approval before September, I will be among the last persons to get labor certification in spite of being the one with the earliest priority date. Nothing would give me greater pleasure than suing DOL BEC at this time. We may not sue DOL on their inability to clear the backlogs, but we can definitely sue them in their utter disregard to FIFO procedures (mind that some people with priority dates in 2004, 2005 have already got their labor certifications, but some with priority dates in 2001, 2002 are still stuck). When I read on their web site that they have tried to maintain FIFO, it makes me feel like puking.
I am also disappointed with IV's attitude towards the backlog victims. I do not remember anything concrete done by IV to address the grievances of backlog victims. Now that they have won the battle with USCIS, will they have time to look at us?
:mad: :mad:
did your company receive the 45 day letter that they sent for all BEC cases.
did they give the letter to you , it might have been possible that either they did'nt receive the letter completely or they might be with-holding information from you
what does your case status say
you must have seen that i am waiting since the last 10 years, since their processing is so random that there's nothing that you can do . The worst thing that you can do is feel bitter about others who are getting benefited.
you have to fell happy for others that they are able to get out of the un-desirable situation that all of us are in.

All moderators,
Please watch out anything that comes out of Senator Kennedy's office...
Some one in Kennedy's office is hell bent on getting rid of paragraph (5) in there....
paragraph (5) is the one that gave us the 'soft' country limits...
Here is the law text....
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/8/usc_sec_08_00001152----000-.html
TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part I > � 1152
(5) Rules for employment-based immigrants
(A) Employment-based immigrants not subject to per country limitation if additional visas available
If the total number of visas available under paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) of section 1153 (b) of this title for a calendar quarter exceeds the number of qualified immigrants who may otherwise be issued such visas, the visas made available under that paragraph shall be issued without regard to the numerical limitation under paragraph (2) of this subsection during the remainder of the calendar quarter.
(B) Limiting fall across for certain countries subject to subsection (e) of this section
In the case of a foreign state or dependent area to which subsection (e) of this section applies, if the total number of visas issued under section 1153 (b) of this title exceeds the maximum number of visas that may be made available to immigrants of the state or area under section 1153 (b) of this title consistent with subsection (e) of this section (determined without regard to this paragraph), in applying subsection (e) of this section all visas shall be deemed to have been required for the classes of aliens specified in section 1153 (b) of this title.
If the 'soft quota' is gone...everything else is bullshit....
Every time I see something come out of Senator's office....They always strike para 5...

I have a 11 pages PERM, where can I see in which category was certified. I don`t find any information. Please advice.
I think it is on Page 2 (Section H: Job opportunity information) --> Item # 4 = Education: minimum level required. If it is checked as "Masters" or "PHD" it is EB2, if not it is EB3.
This is my interpretation. It took my 3 months to get my job profile changed from Masters preffered to Masters Required. Hope this is what it is. I have been assured by my lawer it is EB2

I mailed my passport about 3 weeks back to SFO. Have not yet got it. Anybody done it recently?
SFO is taking 3 weeks for in person renewal. I gave mine and got date of April 2 (which was 3 weeks away). Probably mail would take few extra days.

Where would I be able to find a USCIS approved physcian??..I think you need to get some kind of letter from him??..
Plz tell me how to locate??..any web site links
Here is the link:
https://egov.immigration.gov/crisgwi/go;jsessionid=cxFY_8R7Zuo7?action=offices.type&OfficeLocator.office_type=CIV
Enter your zip code and find the doctor. Once the medical exam is done, the physician will give you two medical reports, an open one for you and a sealed report for USCIS you should submit with your 485 documents

To all EB3 members whose PD is current:
Monday is the last day. If you don't get your GC approved, you got to wait for at least 7/8 months before they start moving dates forward. Beginning of each fiscal year, the dates are generally very conservative.
And for ROW EB3, if the bill passes to eliminate country quota, you will be getting your GC in not less than 5 years from now which you could have get it if your f**ing attorney/company would have file it 7 days earlier! Big time screwed! I am one of them!
The good thing is eliminating the country quota is always lumped with doubling the total quota and/or recapturing previous years waste, so hopefully the affect evens itself out.. Eliminating the coutry qouta by itself is a disaster.

we have almost as many folks that have not called as those that did. why? oh why? just pick up the phone and leave at least 1 VM today!
Various reasons may be possible: some people may think that phone campaign may not be an effective method. However, all of them who decided not to participate, did not post a message and explained why do they think so. It happened initially for the flower campaign too ... however when momentum build, lots of no sayers also started sending flowers.
Second, its quite possible that anti-immigration people are creating the account and voting against the campaign. Some one should take a look at the accounts who voted against, and see when exactly they joined IV? At the same time, some people who are EB2/EB3 ROW, think that if these bill pass, their GC will take more time.
Another aspect is: majority of people still do not realize how grave the situation is. I was talking to one of my good friend (EB3 India), I am chasing him from last one year to join the fight. He nodes his head and says Yes every time I talk to him, but never comes forward. Yesterday, when I urged him to participate in CHC campaign, he told me "Don't worry, I will help you". This one sentence clarified a lot. He still doesn't see himself impacted by this situation, and still believes that some day his GC will appear magically. He is just living in a fools paradise and enjoying his EAD/AP. BTW, his PD is April 2004 EB3 India. Afterwards, I had to be a little straight with him, and convey him in bitter words that I am not asking his support for my GC, but I a asking this so that he can help himself. Hope someday he will realize this.

Not before or Not after.
You should submit this report along with your 485 documents when your PD is current.

Pl send your template so that we can write to our senators/reps etc
Well, I think every one should write in their own way, but here are few imp things i feel.
-> sympathy point first ,How long you have been waiting
-> how much +ve impact was from your contribution to this country ( employer )
-> what are you
-> how you can be helped.
here is my cry...i have x'ed to mask some personal matter.
Respected Sir,
I am taking courage to write to you after a long wait of 7-8years legally. I have been working since last 9 years for a Dallas based small company ( xxx Inc) with revenue of around $xxx a year. My skills contributed this company to stay in competition with billion dollar companies ( xxx,xxx,xxx). My wife in similar field is serving xxx ( xxx ), Fort worth.
We are highly skilled professionals from India, and have plans to contribute even more by establishing our own company and generate more income.
Since last 10 years I have been paying my taxes,ssn,medicare without fail.
Mine and my wife's Permanent residency process ( Green Card process ),EB3-India, is stuck since last 7.5years and with current pace it may take another 4years, a total of 11-12 years.
I am not sure about the relief through CIR.
During now thru CIR interim, I request you to instruct USCIS to apply the spill over of unused employment visas in the order of oldest priority date and not by the by category.
Right now, the spill over benefit is helping the applicants who applied 3years after me.
If 1) spill over order would have not changed 2years back and
2) 245(i) applicants would have not clubbed into existing quota,
my life would have been in order, and I would have not bothered you.
Please help,
I love America ( A country of Great People and Land )

Naa.. Lots of people including me never received CPO email. For such instances, CPO email will take a while (may be an issue with expired Biometrics..etc). The wait continues for some more time to see the actual cards in the mail. There is a dedicated thread on this issue on .
There is no consistency with USCIS' process (or at least none that we can infer). For me and my wife, we only received the CPO emails. We haven't received any emails or updates that they have sent us a notice about registering us an Perm Residents...

Filed for renewal on 04/05 and still waiting for receipts. Current EAD expires last week of July and am running the risk of losing my job if I don't get it by then.
Does anyone know what are my chances of getting it before then? Also, what are my other options at this point or before I lose my job. I read about interim EAD's on other posts, is this still an option?
Your response is highly appreciated.
Sincerely.

Senate Bill S 1085 is active, Senator Menendez from New jersey.
Please meet or call your Senators office to support, co-sponsor this Bill.
The lame duck Session until end of 2010 is a good time to bring Piece meal Bills.
I see we have 274 members who are interested, This is a good time to get into action, all others please join too!

"It seems that the bill S 1085 (the Reuniting Families Act (RFA) has become active again. I received e-mails from Senator Menedez and Senator Lautenberg talking about the bill. Senator Menendex mentioned the recapture employment-based visas that haven't been used in past years so that they may be used in future years. Among other things, he also mentioned that he will continue to address the concerns of employment-based visas in the context of comprehensive immigration reform. He is the sponsor of the S 1085 bill."

Did you choose the option 'your case is outside of the processing time'? Call them again and tell them it is delayed. SR (probably) was the key in my case.
Congrats Masterji. BTW, how were you able to open the SR. I called them this morning and they told me that my PD became current yesterday so I should wait for 30 days before calling them back.
