Similar situation here...applied EAD/AP renewals 1st week of May at NSC for self and spouse. So far only my EAD has been approved, which is pretty much of no use to me since i am on H1B - but employer was paying all costs, so the law firm applied it anyway.
Spouse needs EAD ASAP before expiry, but nothing yet. I want to modify wht u quoted below:
"USCIS won't give u what u want" I think they somehow have an idea of how desperate u r for someting and ur processing/wait time is proportional to your desperation. :-)
E-filed on May 5th, FP on June 6th, no updates since. Concerned as I'm working on EAD and current one expires August 29th.
Paper filed AP in late June, approved already (as per e-mail) even though I only needed it in mid October!!
Just like the the old Stones song... "You can't always get what you want"

DREAM Act Re-introduced in the Senate
A day after President Obama gave a speech on immigration, Senators Richard Durbin, Harry Reid, Robert Menendez and 30 others re-introduced the Development, Relief, and Education for Alien Minors (DREAM) Act that would allow young undocumented people to apply for legal status if they join the military or attend college for two years.
Each year about 65,000 undocumented students who were brought to the U.S. by their parents, often as very young children, graduate from high school and face a bleak future because of their status. Last fall, despite President Obama�s strong support, the DREAM Act passed the House but failed to attract the 60 votes needed to end a Senate filibuster.
Chung-Wha Hong, executive director of the New York Immigration Coalition welcomed the move, but pointed out that the bill faces a slim chance in the current Congress and said the President should use the authority of his office to protect young undocumented immigrants.

For a moment, leave the IIT/merit/experience arguments aside...fact is US graduate schools get taxpayer funds...and one way or other students graduating in US get benefit from those taxes. Senators do not want their tax $$ investments to leave the country...that only is the reason they did something for US graduates in H1...this separate quota may or may not fly...as there is no direct benefit for US...stay on H1B and pay taxes good for usa :cool:

It is true that by law employer is supposed to pay all the labor related costs. Not only that you are not supposed to be engaged in any way shape or form in this whole process.
Thanks for the info. But is it really true that by law employer is required to pay for labor ? I think it used to be that only h1b expenses are required to be paid by employer.
Also, most companies ask for agreements to repay them if we dont stay with them for few years for filing greencard . Is these agreements legal if they ask to repay labor fees ?

FBI Name Checks Latest
Immigration Daily's recent comment (11/30/07 ID) on the status of FBI name check delays resulted in the following response from USCIS Office of Communications Bill Wright:
Immigration Daily's 11/30/07 comment, "FBI Delays to End," is not telling the entire story. USCIS and the FBI are working together to process name checks as quickly as possible without compromising security or public safety. To this end, we have examined the existing name check system and acted to address the problem through two strategies: (1) first, USCIS and the FBI conducted a joint risk assessment which resulted in process improvements that permit us to focus on cases of concern (2) second, USCIS and FBI have allocated additional resources to the process. Over the next year, USCIS is planning to commit a total of $15.5 million to address the backlog of FBI name checks. Please note, however, USCIS continues to require FBI name checks for the same categories of applications and no case will be approved without a cleared name check. We will continue to work with the FBI to reduce waiting times; but, not at the expense of national security and public safety.
Separately, Immigration Daily has learned that USCIS expects a 40% reduction in FBI name check delays by year-end. This reduction will be achieved largely through the allocation of additional resources and a more streamlined process. This information supports DHS Secretary Chertoff's earlier statement that applications that were previously ensnared in the name check delays will be cleared quickly. However, he cautioned that a small number of checks will still be delayed by investigations.

if the entire quota for EB2 is not allotted in a year, then the numbers are being sent down depite retrogression in india and china. that is how you know. every visa allotted to EB2 should be used within....if there is extra it's used by india/china.
The devil is in the details....What do they determine during the year that there are additional visas available ??? In that question lies the whole issue...
The state dept. would not give the number usage statistics until the year has ended..The laws say something...the Babus in Washington interpret it in their own way and donot explain anything....How do you make them tell their interpretation ????

Applied for H1B. We already have the H1B approval notices. We also have EAD/AP. Still we got dragged into this.
The H1B sponsoring company is a large and famous Biopharma company with billions in market cap. AOS is also through the I-140 from that company.
Everything is way above board for us. Still we got stuck!
Can you please let know, where is the passport stuck? What country & which consulate.
Also, was this for new H1 B visa or transfer? If new, I assume, it is not first one, am I right?
Thanx in Advance

I am in the same boat. Tho my GC has not been approved yet, I can only suggest that think twice before taking this important decision. If you go ahead and marry right now be prepared for a lot of stress, mental agony, coping with distance etc. I personally feel that this is not the best way to start a married life. I think it would be best to disclose everything to your future wife and her family and go ahead and marry once you have made arrangements that she can visit you on B1/H1/L1 etc or you have made plans to go visit India or be in a third country etc. Good luck and again my advice is not to rush into the marriage at this stage. Take your time and make a final decision after considering all angles.

I just mailed the opencongress.org on what do they do with the polling data. Is this is sent off to the lawmakers, or not.. Is there anyways that this polling data can be used to make our voices heard..
Guys feel free to send an email to open congress asking this or any questions you have. The foundation group which backs this website, I see , do have some political background.

Schumer Says Immigration Reform Will Happen - Roll Call (http://www.rollcall.com/news/36228-1.html)
Sen. Charles Schumer (D-N.Y.) maintained Wednesday that Congress will tackle comprehensive immigration reform this Congress, and perhaps even this year.
�All of the fundamental building blocks are in place to pass comprehensive immigration reform this session and, even possibly, later this year,� Schumer, the No. 3 Democratic leader, said during a speech before the Migration Policy Institute.
Schumer, chairman of the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Refugees and Border Security, outlined key principles that must be part a reform bill, including strong enforcement of illegal immigration, an employer-based verification system and a direct path to citizenship.
The Democratic Conference vice chairman, who will join a group of lawmakers at the White House on Thursday for a summit on immigration, underscored �the intensity for solving this problem once and for all� this year. Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) has similarly suggested that immigration must be tackled sooner rather than later.
�I have no doubt that President Obama has an unyielding commitment to achieving comprehensive immigration reform,� Schumer said. �And I truly believe that his leadership will be the critical difference in getting us over the hump this time around.�
Schumer said the last legislative attempt in the 110th Congress failed because it wasn�t strong enough in clamping down on illegal immigration. This year, he said, that issue must be a top priority.
�I think on the part of the left, there�s an understanding that unless we convince American we�re going to be really tough ... it�s the only way to do it,� Schumer said.
With Republican losses among immigrant voters in the last election, Schumer said the GOP has an interest in moving on a reform bill as well.
Reid said Tuesday that immigration remains a top priority this year � just behind health care reform and climate change legislation. He said he has spoken with White House officials on the matter, and despite a packed schedule that includes appropriations bills and a Supreme Court confirmation, the Majority Leader said he has the votes and the support to take on another complex issue this year. Obama, for his part, has said he wants to get negotiations rolling on immigration but hasn�t laid out a timetable for passing a reform package.

Thanks Sheela. Was that visit to home, a part of your employer audit as well as it was mentioned by bujjigadu123 or something else?
Not sure whether you got a chance to ask the officer about the reason for this visit? Was it a part of random check or any investigation on fund transfers or any other program etc?
Now, I think it is a random check and nothing like 'employer audit'. I never asked him -at that time I thought it was a part of background check.
I believe they are always doing these checks probability could be 1/100,000 although i have no idea at the frequency.

Nah, I don't think so. Not a good article.
1. His salary CAN be raised.
2. His wife CAN work, as article mentions that he applied for GC in 2004
3. I never heard about 1 million - I guess we were talking about 140000 unused visas right? Where this 1 million came from?
4. If the company is bought - one doesn't generally reapply for GC.
Even little lies don't serve a good cause as this article can be easily discredited.

Just wanted to see how many duplicate application USCIS will get this week.
My lawyer has specifically recommended against re-filing. He said exact duplicate applications in the system is a really bad idea and could get to both being rejected. This is different from the case that if one has missed something in the first one, he can re-file.
