After a little bit of delay and suspense and a number of Soft LUDs...I finally received my renewal EAD today. Hurray !!! It almost feels like receiving a GC.
So, here's the deal:
E-filed for myself and my wife on 03/16
Approved on 04/09
Wife's EAD received on 04/12
Then started all the drama..
A lot of LUDs..but no card for me. The status shows approved ...one day and then Post-processing and then again back to Card-production ordered...Here and there and last week i saw a message saying .."Your new card is sent to your address on file". I must've checked my application at least 10 times before submitting...No issues with the application. But hey...All is well that ends well.
All the best to everyone else too...Always be hopeful and celebrate every good news..
Cheers

Kennedy's staff picked up something from their old files...like the original McCain-Kennedy bill of 2005 (the CIR before it hit the judiciary committee last year) that had the hard country cap and slapped it on Thomas against Session's amendment.
If you look at the text, its remarkably similar to the original McCain-Kennedy text (140K to 290K, hard country cap, recapture...all that. Even the description of the title).
They copy-pasted the text for skilled immigration from original McCain-Kennedy that was their brainchild, instead of copy-pasting it from S 2611 ES what had all the amendments from last year's senate CIR. But then again, copy-paste is very common on the Hill. Last year, Bill Frist copied the entire Judiciary Committee version and introduced it after deleting 2 titles related to Amnesty and guest-worker bill.
If this amendment had really passed, and if it had not been modified in the conference between house and senate and if hard cap had become a law, then this amendment would have done more harm than good.
Could you elaborate on the harm that would cause us please...
I would like to understand this system.....

I am got audited at Atlanta. and I know many Chinese like me were stuck there too.
Please open a new thread at to get more Atlanta victims here!!!
and I would like to put this url on some Chinese immigration forum to get more data. But before that, could you please let me know what the next step so that I could get more People in.
That is exactly my point that Perm Audit is not focused on Nationality, Field or EB category. If most people are from India, China, Philippines then automatically most audit cases are going to be from these countries.
Are you also being audited?

The only and simple way to stop H1B abuse is to allow only max 10% non-immigrant (H1, L1, TN etc) employee in a company. Rest 90% have to be Green Card or Citizen. These desi consulting, Indian big companies must be hving at leaset 90 % employees on non-immigrant status.
Simple and universal rule that will solve all the H1B problems
This is a bad idea seeing how the green card process has open ended timelines. Unless something is done to guarantee green card issuance under a reasonable timeline, we are going to see increasing numbers of people waiting on H1 for a green card.

Good timeline.
Point 4.: USCIS has no need to inform DoS that all visa numbers are used. As DoS is the visa control authority it very well knows the status; in fact is the only one who knows the latest tally. USCIS can only ask DoS "how many remaining" to finish their game!
So is it possible that the following was USCIS' plan all along in a bid to (1) force applicants to pay the higher fees and (2) reduce the number of applications they would receive. So let's try and see where USCIS or DOS acually broke the law. BTW, the following is pure speculation on my part.
1. DOS makes all categories current in the visa bulletin dated June 12.
2. This screws up USCIS's plans. So they have to force the DOS to issue a revision before July 1st.
3. USCIS frantically starts requesting visa numbers. Even for 485s with pending FBI checks.
4. Come July 2nd, USCIS still hasn't used up all the 60,000 or so numbers, but still informs DOS that all visa numbers have been exhausted.
5. DOS publishes a revised visa bulletin dated July 02 where everthing becomes unavailable.
6. USCIS acts on DOS revised visa bulletin and decides to reject all I-485s filed on July 02 and beyond.
7. July 05 onwards, USCIS starts returning the numbers to DOS. This could be for applications that have pending FBI checks.
8. DOS now decides to use some caution before issuing August bulletin. They will probably not make all categories current, but will probably shift them by a few months based on June bulletin.
9. USCIS now gets all new applications with higher fees and a reduced number of applications.
Please add to this sequence of events if you think I missed anything.
IMHO, USCIS broke the law in #4. And DOS broke the law in #5 if it was aware that visa numbers were still being issued as of July 02.
Thanks,
Jayant

We are all eligible for social security benefits (as long as we meet the point accrual requirements).
Not to say in the future there won't be a law that will make us ineligible.
QUOTE=rmdsouza]Immigration reform will not take place unless the lack of reform costs the government. Now, we all know that H1-Bs pay Social Security Tax and Medicare Tax. Also, according to the rules, we are not eligible for the benefits. Considering the average pay of a H1-B is $60000. This unfair tax amounts to about $2300 per/year/person. Now there are about 350,000 H1-B stuck in Labor for the past 2-3 years. The total amount in unfair tax is nearly
$2.4 BILLION!!! (I am being very conservative about this figure)
Maybe they will pay attention if a lawsuite is filed to recover these taxes..
Just my two cents worth...[/QUOTE]
