It looks like USCIS has indeed pre-adjudicated a lot of cases - if processing times at the various Service Centers are any indication, then the USCIS is almost done.
From now on, USCIS will be able to make a more accurate and realistic demand for visa numbers to the DOS. This means the dates will move forward gradually - with a measured jump in the last month of the last quarter.
For FY10, the jump in the last quarter will depend on:
1. State of the US Economy - If it continues to be L shaped, then less demand from EB2ROW and EB2I dates my advance up to mid 2006.
2. China EB2 - The faster it moves, the further EB2I will advance. It was suprising to find that EB2 China is back in 2005. Either the DOS has been really conservative or USCIS has truly done some house cleaning.

There are 1000s waiting for receipts , filed before July 24th . Hope someone apprises USCIS that people are aware of it & they cannot fool millions just by a silly update (who is asking for it anyways!)!
Applied to NSC on 18th July and received on 19th by F.HAUINER (has anyone received application by this person.. asking just to check if mine reached the right place)
Receipts : Not Yet
PD : Feb 2003

My 140 was approved at TSC, sent 485 to Nebraska on June 22, they received on June 25. I called to check status yesterday, the lady said to wait. On asking if case will be transferred to TSC and if TSC will generate receipts, she said she doesn't know, but it may take at least 2-3 weeks to process receipts at Nebraska.
I just called national customer service center for my 485 receipts and the lady told that nebraska filers should still wait for 30 more days before they call for receipt updates...she said she was answering the same question since this morning and mentioned that it could still take atleast 30 days for nebraska center to register the applications...
when I asked her if she knew whether my case has been transferred to TSC already (since my 140 got approved from TSC), she said she wouldn't know that answer...her bottom line was to wait...
what a mess!!!!!
if any one has called the customer service today regarding the receipts, I would appreciate if you could please post the responses here.

Based on the same logic, I would say that the job of stopping discrimination against EAD/H1B etc. is mainly the responsibility of Citizens and GC holders. It is their country; it is up to them to fix it.
There are laws in place, already, for discrimination against applicant having proper work authorization.
If the affected person does not report or take action, then nothing will happen. It is high time that "highly skilled workers" aware of their rights. Sanju mentioned a term "educated illiterates" for such reasons.
Many consulting companies do not pay salary on bench. If the employee does not report to DoL, will he/she get his/her salary? No. The issue of discrimination is on the similar lines.
There is no requirement for employer to consider any applicant who is on H-1B visa status. It is entirely voluntary and upto the employer whether to sponsor H1 visa or not. Same thing holds good for sponsoring green card as well.

Sorry to hear about this Mehul. Wish you a speedy recovery.
Please keep in mind that the US healthcare system is for-profit. That means that there are too many bureaucratic, legal and business reasons for either treating or not treating the patient. There might be cures or procedures or therapies out there, that your doctor or hospital is not interested in because its not covered by your insurance as it is labelled as "Experimental".
Insurance companies are like maggots. They love premiums but when it comes to claims, they try to swipe as many cures and procedures as possible under the rug of "Experimental treatment" so that they dont have to pay.
I would suggest that you do all you can to seek immigration advise but please consider going to India for a month and getting a second opinion from Apollo or AIIMS or such high-quality Hospitals.
I would not trust the for-profit, suck-all-blood-dry, deny-care and inhumane healthcare system of this country where the care-givers and the insurance companies are in collusion with each other to maximize profits and do whatever it takes to maximize profits even when it means that some people die and others go bankrupt even after paying insurance.
Please make sure you try Tata Memorial Hospital in Mumbai they specialize in Cancer treatment http://tmc.gov.in/.
I am not trying to make you feel good but sharing personal experiance. One of my relative was diagnosed with fatal cancer. As part of final effort they visited TMC if there is a cure. To their surprise they found Cancer to be false alarm it was just a non malignant tumor.
Mistakes do happen and I hope it happened with you too.

I am pretty for EB3 folks. This is really not fare to those genuine guys (not substitute ones) waiting more than 7 years. I am know few friends applied with me in EB3 have lost green card hope. They are eligible for EB2 when applying but only reason that stopped them is their company don't want them to apply in EB2 category. Praying god is the only thing I can do for them..

Hi, all:
I have a few questions regarding changing job, if anyone knows it , please reply to me. My current situation is:
(1). I-485 was sumitted on 07/2007 and it is still pending. EB3 category.
(2). EAD card valid until 10/2012.
(3). H1-B visa valid until 03/2012 through my current employer.
I find another job which similar to what I-140 describes. But this new employer is a job agency and unwilling to tranfer my H1-B visa. It wants me to work on my EAD card on 1099 form.
So, my questions are:
(1). Will it be problem if I work as independent contractor on 1099 form not W2 form?
i think you can do this on EAD but confirm with and immigration attorney
(2). Is there any problem to new my EAD card since I lost my H1-B visa?
you can work on EAD without H1B but you will be carrying more risk
(3). Do I need to inform INS about this job changing? If so, what docuements I need to submit?
Yes you should file AC 21 related forms and supporting documents. your new job should be in "same or similar" category as you GC job as defined by dept. of labor job codes and descriptions.
BTW its not INS anymore its USCIS
(4). What if my current employer revoke my I - 140, does that mean my GC will be denied? what should I do if I want to keep legal?
Make sure you obtain a copy of your approved I-140. If your current employer revokes it, USCIS might send you a RFE or NOID and you will need to respond with letter of employment from the new employer and submit supporting documentation that your I-140 was already approved and that your new job is similar to the old one.
Thanks.

Anyone who has the same chain of events or received GC for CPO mail on 08/04 or later?
Same exact sequence of events happened to me. I am sure we will have our cards this week God willingly.

I am not interested to pursue this, nor do I have the ability to lead this effort. Plus I am very happy with the effort and the work IV is doing. Which is not for a specific category but a more general appeal. I support that.
But for those who are interested - EB3 (India and ROW). The way USCIS is interpreting the law of spillover, can be easily challenged, because this goes against the spirit of the law. If EB2 and EB1 were to be given special preference at the I485 stage, then clearly they would have been allotted a larger quota to start with. should be a strong enough case for a Class Action Law Suit. Looking at the times that some people have been waiting and are expected to wait this is clearly an option to try out. IV or without IV. :)

Dear Mehul...
I wish and pray that God gives strength to you and your family in this difficult situation. And as fellow IV'ns have mentioned, Prayer and Faith in Life/Almighty can do wonders. By the attitude in your note, I do feel you have that ... and somehow I have a feeling things will be fine for you and your family.
As suggested by many people, if possible, please do get a 2nd opinion from a renowned doctor in India. And do start Yoga/Pranayam. Meditation and proper breathing exercise have helped folks with very serious conditions and these are surely worth trying.
And for your GC, I would second the suggestions of writing to senator and USCIS.
Your family should be your reason to continue to have faith and NOT give up...
Heartfelt wishes and prayers with you... Always !!!

@Ramba:
Nice assumptions...but we need evidence. Do any USCIS documents say they would need proof of a *running* income? (After all, you don't have paystubs for a future job in same/similar occupation.) Since GC is for *future* job, why can't self-employment in same/similar occupation, under AC21 and with *projected* revenues, be enough? Do they ask for paystubs and proof of long-term commitments/contracts in EVL-RFE?
Re wages, here's Yates memo verbiage:
Question 5. Should service centers or district officers use a difference in the wage offered on the approved labor certification and initial I-140, and the new employment as basis for denial in adjustment portability cases?
Answer: No. As noted above the relevant inquiry is if the new position is the same or similar occupational classification to the alien’s I-140 employment. A difference in the wage offered on the approved labor certification, initial I-140 and the new employment cannot be used as a basis of a denial. However, a substantial discrepancy between the previous and the new wage may be taken into consideration as a factor in determining if the new employment is “same or similar.”
Pls note that with current recession/depression, the "prevailing wages" for same/similar occupations have gone down--drastically in some cases (esp. IT). Also, you could open/register your LLC (by spending $400) for your self-employment to sound more "legitimate"--but that's certainly not a requirement.
USCIS may not buy if no income shown thro the bussiness. One may have a simple bussiness model. However, they should be in a position to show documentary evidence that they are making similar money as per 140, and importantly they are doing same kind of work when self employed, and they have a long term commitment/contract for their bussiness. Then only they may belief that you are doing legitimate bussiness thro self employment. Just writing EVL in a letter head will not serve the purpose.
