H1BLegal95,
I couldn't agree more with you. This is the worst thing to happen for ppl who have been patiently waiting in BEC lines since 2001 !!! Essentially this means that dates will get current for all the PERM filers since Mar 2005, giving them the advantage of AC21 while leaving simple ppl like you stuck. And then by the time your labor gets approved dates may not be current anymore.
But unless you are the type of person who's willing to get into buying labor certification there is nothing you can do! Is it unfair, hell yeah! Life's a b****. But remember you are getting screwed now others have either been screwed at some other point or will get screwed later. We all get screwed :D
anandrajesh,
Are yuou out of your mind? You are asking a man who has been waiting in line since 2003 a spoilsport? If he was really a spolisport who would bought his way out by now. You want him to celebrate while you get AC21 and he's left waiting again? You have some nerve!
Why do you want a spoilsport bro. Everybody is rejoicing this moment. Let us not spoil everybody's moment here. I agree with ur reasoning, but the fact that everybody can apply for 485 brings justice to everybody. My PD is Mar 2004 and i am equally happy for all who can apply 485.

Do we just need copies of the birth or marriage certificates or do we need to send in notarized or original documents.
I have copy of my birth certificate which I have been reusing. Not sure where the original is.
For spouse birth and marriage certificate I have originals

Scroll to the Advocacy tab and read thru the "Meet the lawmakers" document.
Meeting is better than emailing, as emails do not get read. Ask IV Coordinator for the presentation zip when you get an appointment with your lawmaker.

I thought visa numbers are available equally per quarter and DOS is prevented from releasing numbers early. How can they say that all the visa numbers have been used (or will be used by April end)?
Q1: Oct-Dec
Q2: Jan-Mar
Q3: Apr-Jun
Q4: Jul-Sep
I think July visa bulletin would bring some good news when numbers for the last quarter along with the spill-over (if any), are released. If USICS is not as efficient we may even see some good advancement. Don't loose hope guys!!

Hello,
What is the current processing time for Labor? I heard it is taking very long like 8 to 10 months? Is this true or is this based on processing center? If so which processing center takes how long?
thanks.

Nope. Only taking the applications and entering them into the system.
Approvals will anyway be in the order of PDs.
Cool srikondoji - my bad - I missunderstood you.

Let me guess. You have a friend or a relative in the H1 que. And this H1 applicant is either getting education in US or is not going to be an employee of a consulting firm.
No. You got me wrong. I have friends filing through consulting firms. You got me wrong completly. Outsourcing/offshoring firms are completely different from Consulting firms. Consulting firms files new h1s and get the people here to work for their clients. This is good to new prople who wants to come here legally, to US busincsses and to everybody (except for anti-immigrants). But Outsourcing/offshoring firms file lot of H1s and do not use them. Thats the problem. If they use, it is not going to be a problem.
Second guess: You have a US degree or you are not working for a conslting firm.
This is also wrong. I don't have any US degree. Also, I am working as Consultant from past 3 years. I worked with different big clients as a conultant. This is how it works in US. Again, Consultancy is different from Outsourcing/offshoring.
Why do you think the spouses on H4 do no deserve H1? If they want to work, why do you think that they should not compete in the job market?
I said they deserve to apply for H1. You got it wrong.
BTW, the companies you are cursing, TCS, Wipro, Satyam etc., it is possible that soon the H1s applied by these companies will be exempt from numercial limit. Yes, you heard me right. Here is a bill that would make companies providing scholarships to undergrad and grad programs to be exempt from H1 numerical count. This is not a joke, read for yourself: :p
I am not agaist the consulting or competition or anybody who wants to work here legally. I am againt the wastage of H1s. Applying them and not using them is a problem. By the way, where was the law to excempt those so called outsourcing firms from numerical H1 cap? Can you please provide the link? If there is one, then there is no chance of reaching cap so fast. No firm is going to waste the money by filing H1 and not allowing them to work is US after getting it except for Outsourcing firms. It is a fact, agree it or not.
H1 cap problem is there in 1990s also before Congress increased the cap to 195K. But it was solved when increased the cap to 195k and we saw so many H1 visas on 2001, 2002, 2003 are un-used. Samethng might happen even now if Congress increases it to 200K. Since we have less visas, everybody tries to grab a slot, But if we have enough visas (200K cap), then nobody is in a hurry to apply like the one happened this year.

What is? Working on the July submitted apps ahead of the ones already in the queue?
no no. working on them meaning issue us a receipt (so we can use AC21) and give us an EAD (so our spouses can work) and an AP (so we can travel). We will then patiently wait in line behind all those folks who submitted I-485s before us and have PDs earlier than ours.

One of my close friends is considering running the DC 10 miler with me. She never ran or walked a race before. Hopefully she will decide to atleast walk before the end of the day. That will be good for both of us
I partnered with my aunt to walk the SF 5K as well. now I really need to partner with someone who can run the Houston 1/2 marathon with me.
Hi Santb1975,
We are working up to it, and either GoIV or myself may partner with you to run/walk the Houston Half. Working on it now :) will keep you posted!

just an update from my end. I had sent my EAD renewal application to NSC by mistake when it should have gone to Phoenix lockbox. My check was cashed today from Phoenix center, so looks like NSC forwarded my application to the right place.

Definitely agree with herd mentality and haste, but can't blame them also. What if the dates go back again next month. So its a catch-22.
good luck to everyone.
What i am trying to say here is firstly reaching congressman should not be on the first day itself which some of the folks are doing, atleast wait for a a couple of weeks. and then regarding opening SR i would say atleast wait for around a week or 10 days at the minimum if you are scared of dates moving back. And yes i am not pointing fingers at any individual so don't take it personally "gc_on_demand"
