All Employment-Based I-485 Inventory pending at the Service Centers as of March 08,2010.
http://www.uscis.gov/USCIS/Green%20Card/Green%20Card%20Through%20a%20Job/Employment%20Based%20I-485%20Pending%20Inventory-Total%203-8-2010.pdf
From Murthy Law Firm : U.S. Immigration Law (http://www.murthy.com)
1. USCIS Update on Pending Employment-Based I-485s
�MurthyDotCom
The U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has updated charts of pending employment-based (EB) adjustment of status (I-485) cases. These charts provide precise details of the numbers of I-485 cases currently filed and pending with the USCIS by year and month of priority date, and country of chargeability. They provide a helpful picture of the pending demand for the limited immigrant visa numbers in each EB category. They also can be compared to earlier charts to gain insights into visa number usage.
�MurthyDotCom
Background on USCIS Charts on EB I-485s
�MurthyDotCom
The USCIS started providing the pending EB I-485 charts after the overhaul of the USCIS WebSite. The first set of these charts was reported to MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers in our article, USCIS Shares Useful Info in Pending I-485 Charts (30.Oct.2009). As before, there are six separate charts with details of pending EB I-485 cases.
�MurthyDotCom
Current USCIS I-485 Charts and Usage of Immigrant Visas
�MurthyDotCom
The most recent charts (PDF 450KB), with data as of March 8, 2010, are available on the USCIS WebSite. The real insight that can be gleaned from these charts relates to the demand for immigrant visa numbers. In order for an I-485 to be approved, and for an applicant to become a permanent resident, there must be an immigrant visa number available. The immigrant visa numbers represent the annual limit on the number of foreign nationals permitted to become U.S. permanent residents in each fiscal year.
�MurthyDotCom
Visa number availability is reflected in the U.S. Department of State (DOS) Visa Bulletin issued each month. The Visa Bulletin cutoff dates are established by the DOS based upon estimates of demand for immigrant visa numbers.
�MurthyDotCom
The USCIS charts provide a picture of that demand and, for some, a clearer explanation of why the cutoff dates in the Visa Bulletin move so slowly or stagnate. MurthyDotCom and MurthyBulletin readers who are unfamiliar with the concept of priority dates, visa numbers, and the Visa Bulletin may find some of the articles on these topics helpful. They are posted regularly on MurthyDotCom, and available by using our search feature.

EB2 Analysis and Backlogs for India and China
�MurthyDotCom
In the EB2 category, historically, only India and China regularly experience cutoff dates in the Visa Bulletin. This is reflected in the volume of pending cases in EB2 for all countries other than India and China. There are enough visa numbers available to meet demand and, thus, there is not a large volume of pending cases. These cases can be routinely processed without delays due to visa number issues. Thus, there are only slightly more than 3,300 EB2 I-485s from countries other than India, China, Mexico, and the Philippines. Most of these cases have priority dates between 2005 to 2010.
�MurthyDotCom
This contrasts sharply with the volume of cases pending in EB2 for nationals of India and China. China has 16,630 pending EB2 cases, most having priority dates between 2005 and 2007. India has more than twice as many as China, with slightly more than 39,000 cases pending. Of these, most have priority dates that fall between 2005 and 2007.
�MurthyDotCom
When the current pending cases for EB2 India are compared to the chart provided in our October 2009 article, there is a noticeable change. The older charts show more than 6,000 pending EB2 India cases with priority dates in 2004. The newer charts reflect only about 300 such cases, and fewer than 300 with priority dates of earlier than 2004.
�MurthyDotCom
Thousands of LC Filings in March 2005
The Visa Bulletin cutoff date for EB2 India has been stagnant for four months as of this writing, with a cutoff date of February 1, 2005. The likelihood of forward movement increases, as the cases with earlier priority dates are processed to completion. However, one important reason for the stagnation in February becomes evident when reviewing the number of pending cases with a March 2005 priority date. The chart reflects more than 3,000 cases pending in EB2 India, with a March 2005 priority date. This is due to a large volume of labor certification cases filed prior to the shift to the mandatory PERM process in labor certification procedures, which occurred at the end of March 2005.
�MurthyDotCom
EB3 Analysis and Maximum Pending EB3s for Indians
�MurthyDotCom
The EB3 category has a demand for visa numbers that exceeds the supply for all countries of chargeability. The USCIS reports that, as of March 8, 2010, there were almost 136,000 pending EB3 I-485s. The vast majority - almost 60,000 - were filed by Indian nationals.
�MurthyDotCom
There continues to be a large number of EB3 cases with priority dates as early as 2001 and 2002. There are even larger numbers of pending cases with priority dates between 2003 and 2007. When compared to the charts from our October 2009 article, there is a noticeable reduction - over 5,000 - in the number of cases with 2001 priority dates.
�MurthyDotCom
Conclusion
�MurthyDotCom
These USCIS charts provide, for some, a rather grim picture of the wait time for visa numbers in their categories. For others, it may offer some hope that they are likely to be next in line. We believe that it is helpful to have a realistic picture and an understanding of why certain cases must wait for years for the I-485 approval under the current system. We appreciate the willingness of the USCIS to share these helpful updates so that individuals and their families can plan their lives.

To hell with the checks and all, if you are all legit, there is absolutely no need to worry, people are ready to go back and not rot with this economy, increasing this intrusive checks will make people more averse towards H1 , which might help the local folks finds jobs, but it will adversely impact the economy of this country. I guess it has to be this way.

Hi All,
I need your help and suggestions. In November of last year my wife and I submitted our medicals and AOS applications. Our checks were never cashed. I informed my lawyer after a month of not seeing the checks cash and raised the question then. They replied that there is a lot of mail going through that room and just wait a bit more. Another month went by, nothing. Then another.
Here it is March 2009 and my lawyer finally contacts USCIS to find out that they cannot find my original application. (no receipt notice was issued) During the entire last year and right up until March my Prioirty Date was always current. Now there is SEVERE retrogression and my PD date is now not current.
We have to refile. I re-wrote the checks and we are submitting the package again.
How can we demand that our application be accepted based on the original filing date of November when we were current?
would the dated medicals prove that we submitted in November. Who would get their paperwork done then sit on it for months right?!?!?!
How do we challenge USCIS based on their error. My lawyer said they have a delivery confirmation for the original application however I have not seen that.
thanks!

Yes! The comprehensive Immigration Bill is the best remedy not just address the issues facing the Arizona Law or any other state that wants to follow the footsteps ............ but for us too. There has been no legislation for employment based immigrants for many years now, and we are stuck in impossible situations - Yes CIR is a way for us too!

My first advice would be to bump up the ISO for indoor shots, so the shutter speed will be faster and you will be able to avoid blurred movement. In full auto mode, cameras may not increase the ISO above some unreasonably low number, like 400. Try going to a mode that lets you pick the ISO (program?) and set it to 1600 (with a DSLR the noise will be much less than 1600 ISO film grain, so don't be afraid to experiment).
Not knowing about the automatic metering systems on modern cameras, I'm not able to analyze what might be throwing off the meter to cause it to underexpose, so I'll leave that up to our resident DSLR gurus. ;)

I am not an attorney but I was in almost similar situation.
1) You may get the priority date if you have the I140 copy. Some people say that even if you have lean no of I140 may be sufficient. As per law, priority date can be ported only if I140 is not canceled. But I read one article from an attorney which said that there is a circular in USCIS which advised officers to port the priority date if there is a I140 copy attached to I140 petition.
2) You can extend your H1 beyond 6th year if your GC labor PERM stage is pending atleast 365 days prior to your 6th year ending. You will get one year extension if PERM is pending and 3 years extension if I140 is approved
3) I think this is tricky, you can transfer only if new employer has filed for PERM and got an approval. I am not fully sure about it.

Thanks for quick replies.
The reason for my concern is our Company lawyer has been getting calls from almost every person who went to India that they are either receiving 221G or getting denied.
Four of my co-workers are stuck due to administrative processing. But none of them attended Mumbai Consulate. My company has suggested that consulates are harassing people for no clear reason and hence should avoid India Travel for next few months.
Please continue to share your experiences.

Dear XYZ,
Thank you for contacting me about changing H-1B and L-1 immigration policy. I understand your concerns.
As you may know, Senator Richard Durbin (D-Illinois) introduced the H-1B and L-1 Visa Reform Act (S.887) on April 23, 2009. This legislation would change current immigration laws to limit the number of special occupation and intra-company transfer workers permitted to receive United States visas. It would also increase the oversight of H-1B and L-1 visa holders to reduce fraud and abuses in the system. This bill is currently pending before the Senate Judiciary Committee, of which I am not a member. Should this or related legislation come before me for a vote, I will keep your views in mind.
Thank you again for contacting me. Please continue to keep me informed about issues of concern to you and your family.
Sincerely,
United States Senator

Friends,
As I had indicated that I had admission to study for MBA in europe starting Sep/Oct 2007, looks like I have to drop it due to the GC process ( entangled)
My last discussion wirh Immi and employer drove the nail in the coffin.
I would appreciate any suggestion fromfolks like you.
Outcome:
I can quit the job and proceed for MBA at my risk ( leave spouse behind in the US in I-485 pending stage). If for example my PD ( July 2002 EB3 india) comes up during my absence in the US and if there is a RFE, my current employer WILL NOT provide a job offer so far into the future ( ie post Sep 2008). the least they said they can do is not pull labor and I-140 ( both approved and I-485 pending for 4 yrs)
Since I am in the Mechanical egnineering field , i dont know who to find , ( unlike adundant software body shoppers present) who will draft an offer in case of RFE.
I have few more weeks before I see this opportunity slip by.
Can anyone guess if the EB3- India PD will move to July 2002 or beyond before September 2008?
Any suggestion./directions will be appreciated... Around me i have no one who has even changed jobs , used AC21 etc.
Thanks for your time

Hello Attorney,
My wife received a RFE on her I-485 for missing medical test (TB test).
The deadline for responding to RFE is May 9th. She is out of the country currently and is scheduled to return on June 3rd.
Can we request an extension of time to reply to RFE based on hardship?
We just need one more month to comply with RFE.
Does USCIS normally provide extension for situations like the one above?
I took an infopass appointmnet at Baltimore and they couldn't offer a concrete answer since the case is pending with TSC. They asked me to reply to RFE asking for extension and provide supporting documents. I'm not sure if that would be accepted and results in denial of I-485.
Thanks in advance,
GCisaDawg

Thanks again Elaine, for clearing much of the fog in my mind!
So when she appears for H-4 interview in consulate in India, will there be any questions on her H1 stay in US? Is there a chance of her H-4 getting denied in case if the officer finds her out of status stay?
Does she need to show proof of her in-status stay while in US for appearing for H-4 interview?
Are we allowed to appear for our interviews at any consulate in India or are we restricted to appear only that consulate which is in my area of jurisdiction?

CIR could not even get passed in 06 . 07 and right now economy is down so no hope for it. May be Obama wants to keep hope alive in Hispanic Voters so dems can win election in Nov 2010. Health Care is lagging behind schedule and it is very hard for him to press. How can people support CIR....?
also Hispanic caucus will not allow piecemeal until CIR fails. So I don't see even little ray of hope for recapture. Now left over is admin fixes. God knows what can be done under admin fixes..

When I went for H1B stamping my B1 was cancelled and I was told one can not have more than one visa at the same time.
You might be right but my son is with me as of today on the same old B1. H1 might be a different scenario.

I was with with Company A and my H1B approval notice was until 2011 and my wife H4 approval notice was also until 2011.
Recently I changed to Company B, where this company applied only H1B transfer and received a receipt number for that and it is in pending status. And they are saying H4 transfer also applied at the same time but we didn't received the receipt notice yet.
In this H1B transfer process I got query on that petition, now Company B is saying I will not submit any documents for above query.
I have an EAD when I was with Company A and it is still valid. I am planning to move onto EAD.....
Can my wife change her status to F1 (Student) even her H4 transfer receipt is not available?
And the old H4 approval notice is still in approved status when I check in USCIS website.
Please help me in this situation, let me know all your opinion about this case.
~Thanks in advance.
Recently I changed to Company B, where this company applied only H1B transfer and received a receipt number for that and it is in pending status. And they are saying H4 transfer also applied at the same time but we didn't received the receipt notice yet.
In this H1B transfer process I got query on that petition, now Company B is saying I will not submit any documents for above query.

It is puzzling that EB3 World didn't move a single day. Per my calculations, it should move three months in each month.
My calcuations were based upon that there are about 100,000 applicants (excluding Indian) between year 2001 and 2005. Currently, China Mexico Philippine's cut off date is the same as ROW. I just assumed that there are about 35,000 visas available for ROW including China, Mexico, and Philipine (the remaining 10,000 for India) per year. In this case, it should move by three months in each month.
I accept that there are lots of loop holes in my calculations as it didn't move a single day.
Does anyone have a rough idea how many non Indian applicants out there between year 2001 and 2005?
I think many of you can do more accurate calculations based upon more reliable sources. Please show me how.
Many people say uselessness of predictions but I think we can predict to certain extent.

I am in H1B and more than five years. My employer is a mid size
private Indian company. They start bringing more and more L1B
people and post them in client location. Their LCA is for 55K and they
are paid only 30K even though the billing is in three digit. All the
accomodation, per diem are paid by the client. We are into one of
the XXX product and there is no custom product from our company.
Whats the best way to deal with this guys. Whom should send I the
complaint about this. What they are doing is a complete violation
of law.
So please guide and share you experience.
P.S. If you dont have any information, please stay away. Do not
start the H1 vs L1, Anti-immis troll alert. Thanks for your
understanding. This has nothing to do with the L1 employees.
Dear Friend I totally agree with you. I was with one of these employers and have moved away from them. As suggested by some members you can report about these fraudulent activities to DOL. I know it is dufficult to leave these employers as they make the employees to sign bonds and try to capture all the money that they have acquired in PF etc back in the native country.
These employers are to be blamed for the current economy condition of this country and the condition of immigrants like us.
I know there are some members in this forum who will try to shout you down and make you quite.
But I feel if one believe in what is right then one should go ahead irrespective of what others think.
