I totally agree with your idea and am sure that it would be great relief for all of us. But USCIS is so lazy that they do adjudicate cases which have their priority dates as "current". It would be a miracle if they really adjudicate all cases even if the visa number is not available. I think we should also push for a system where USCIS should release the total number of cases adjudicated on a weekly/monthly basis so that the process is transparent and we can see how much work they do.
I hope they pre-adjudicate all our cases and end our miseries.

anways..dont worry..i've read some place on murthy/khanna's site..once u reenter the country all your previous "out of status" become mute.
so u should be fine..
Hey EndlessWait, thanks for your input and assurance. Thats what my lawyer said but he also mentioned it depends on the adjudicating officer and to keep my fingers crossed.

Hi longq,
Not sure why you are still fighting this. I am sure law-makers are aware of the way USCIS implements the law and they don't seem to have any objections.
From the 2006 "CRS Report for Congress" on "U.S. Immigration Policy on Permanent Admissions"
Prior to FY2001, employment-based preference immigrants were also held to percountry ceilings. The American Competitiveness in the Twenty-First Century Act of 2000 (P.L. 106-313) enabled the per-country ceilings for employment-based immigrants to be surpassed for individual countries that are oversubscribed as long as visas are available within the worldwide limit for employment-based preferences.
It might actually be counterproductive as you might inflect negative sentiments against increasing overall EB-immigration level demanding improportional increase for 'top immigrant-sending countries'.
As the State Department describes, the per-country level �is not an entitlement but a barrier against monopolization.�
Please try to read law carefully. The law will not have simple terms as you think. They have to draft the law in the language of the act. Any way the meaning is same.
The law explicitly say that the 7% country limit does not apply to the EB1, EB2, EB3, EB4, EB5 catagories, if excess visas available in those catagories.
Exactly, but because EB3 is oversubscribed, no 'excess visas' are available for oversubscribed countries. (But we had this discussion before, though).

Harish,
Sorry to hear about your situation. Please talk to your international student office immediately to see if you can withdraw your opt application and also postpone your graduation to December . If that is possible you can continue to take courses in summer and fall and graduate in december 2007 and apply for an OPT in december. That will give you a chance to apply for next years
H1. Hope this helps.
Good Luck!!!

It is good to analyze. But pls let us be together.
There are several who's category was determined by the employer and their lawyer and an equal number, who have no clue as to what is actually the content of their labor. Myself for example, was never allowed a glimpse of the labor application, only know that it was approved. i also do not have a hard copy of my I140.
The positive point is this year, major channels are talking about Legal immigration much more than i have heard before.
let us work together to highlight the broken system, the only way it can eventually get fixed by our direct efforts.

Sorry for the delay and thanks!
Considering the amount of money most folks have saved because of IV's flower campaign and the SJ rally, there is no reason to feel shy in contributing to IV;-)
Considering the amount of money you will spend renewing EADs and visiting your local DMV to renew your driving licenses, it is compelling for anyone to help IV now so that you see your GC sooner than later!

Come to think of it, this idea has potential to fly. We can ask CIS to make the date of I-140 filing as the PD for substituted labor case. This will ensure that PD will move forward smoothly till July 07 at least. That will cover most of the long standing ( and long suffering) GC applicants and bring them relief. This will not have any other impact on the number of outstanding apps or available visa numbers etc. I guess this change in PD assignment logic can be done by CIS without the need of any new legislation.
The idea inherently appeals to those who believe in fair play. How do we take this forward.
I do agree with you, USCIS honors the old PD on the Labor, not the I-140 filing date.
Dont know the exact rule on the labor substitution cases, but i know for sure people who applied in 2007 with old sub labor PDs from 2000 and 2001 received their GCs. I would simply call them lucky as they found the Employers who took advantagfe of the sub labor rule and filed their petitions before the sunset date of July 16th 2007.
Lets hope USCIS do their job and approves only the genuine lab sub cases.
For rest of us who were the victims of backlog elimination centre and then the stupid July 2007 fiasco of making very EB category current, its just our bad luck, in backlog centre too DoL processed our apps out of order and now USCIS doing the same thing.

Another member from CA has joined this challange. The member has contacted me and I have just now spoken to the member. The member wants to stay as an annonymous donor. So far he has contributed $1500 over the past few months. This member has pledged to pitch in with some more money when the total contributions from other members reach the 30,000 & 60,000 dollar mark. Specifically, he will contribute $250 more when we get close to $30,000, and another $250 for the $60,000.
Apart from my earlier contribution, I would like to pledge another $20 if we reach $30,000 and $20 if we reach $60,000. I am sorry guys i am on a tight budget but still want to do the best I can. And I hope you guys will agree every penny counts for the tough journey we have in front of us next year.

Can someone please clarify this to me?
I'm really confused with the rule right now. Since my last entry was Apr 2007 and I worked only from July 2007, was I out of status?
I've read this -
Out of Status is counted only since last entry in US for employment related I-485. And Section 245(k) covers out of status upto 180 days.
And I've read this from somewhere too -
For a new H1B, a grace period of up to 60 days is allowed before you can start work after entering the country.
Whih rule is correct? Thank you again

When did you get your GC?
I had to be persistent with my complaint with the Ombudsman. Finally I got it later in the year. When I sent my complaint in, sometime in July 08, I thought I was among the few who were left out. But this thread suggests that there are a lot who were bypassed when they gave GC's to PD's in 2005 and 2006 last year.

This is not the healthy way of exchanging information and discussion among us. Make it all coulmns as required coulmns to become a member of this forum. There are so many members without furnishing the all the information and no one , I believe, disclosed their real name or identity. Asking a specific member to furnish all the details is not good. Do you think that you can shut the voice against subLb taking priority against others ?
