Applied on May 28, 2010 Electronically
Approved on July 07, 2010.
Now I am working with attorney to file my I-140
I have 3 Years BS Degree in Electronics From Andhra University + 1 Year BS Degree in Computer Specialization from Andhra University.
Still I am kind of tense about my degree is considered as US equivalent degree. It accepted in H1-B, and EB-3 GC process. I am cross my figures until I get the decision from IO. I will give more updates later.

Frankly, the chances of getting an EB-2 I-140 approved with your educational background are very bleak to say the least. However, there are always exceptions and I hope you get lucky. Good luck, atleast your employer tried.

So, from what I read in this thread:
* EB2 (India/China) may not have MANY cases with PD earlier than 2005 as only after retrogression (in 2005), EB2 started piling up.
* Most 2001/2002 EB3 cases are approved (in June/July/August 2007) and they may be still receiving approvals off numbers reserved for them in June/July 2007. Hence, the natural movement for EB3 to 2003 in the near future.
* If most of the EB3 cases filed in June/Juy are not processed by USCIS by next June (2008), then PD may become current during the last quarter of FY 2008 (or atleast to end of 2006). If enough cases are approved (and pending for VISA numbers), then it may move only to 2004 or early 2005.
* EB2 - same logic as above - it may become current or move to early 2006.
Makes sense?

I think we should make a list of things we lost and found in D.C :)
The amazing thing is We Found all the things we lost. I found the same pair of glasses Twice! The owner managed to lose it again in the situation room and I found it again - I think he didn't like the glasses :)
Chargers and ties were lost and found. I think after working 3 days straight, without much food/sleep and thousand and one things on our mind - we too were lost :)

Thnks, for the fax # , hope I get my EAD/AP soon, I had applied for AP on 4/9/2010 and EAD on 4/15/2010. My EAD is valid till Aug 3rd . My wife's EAD is till July 21st.
I sent both to Phoenix lock box as Im in CA. My checks havent been cashed yet, both were paper filing , in the past the checks used to be cashed in a week and I used to get the receipts in the mail within a weeks time.
Has any one been in a situation where they havent got EAD renewal in 90 days and has been successful in getting the interim EAD from the local USCIS office? Plz post their experiences here.

gc chahiye.. both polls were excellent.. can you redo them and see if we can get a larger sample size?
I wonder how many of the PD earlier than 2003, I-485 filed and 2004 PD, I-485 filed and 2005 PD, I-485 filed must have gotten gcs in the july fiasco.
My many friends from EB3 -Jan to Jun 2003 PD are still in process. I have met 2 EB2-May 2003PD guys already having GC. Very small sample but thought to mention it.

kramer2005 is probably one of those folks stuck in BEC who were so happy when DOS released the July visa bulletin update. They thought it was unfair to them that we were allowed to file 485. And now that there is some hope again for us to file 485, these guys are back to discourage us from pursuing this further.
Ok, we are stopping this stupidity. Happy?
Let's all go home and do nothing.
but wait,,....... what are you doing here on this forum if you feel so strongly...

my company lawyer responded to my similar question saying they too fear the mid month retrogression, and will try to file ASAP. However, the explanation offered in other posts in this thread (notably, logiclife and shantak) does sound compelling. as someone said, file asap if you can. if you cannot, do not worry, as 1. it won't help and in 2. my humble opinion, shutting the door for ALL within the first month of opening the door for ALL, will be a shame, and will set a very bad precedent, so most likely they will wait at least until end of July before the shut the doors.

Ok i have to do this.
Difference between genius and ordinary is the former will understand without experiencing. Latter needs to experience to realise.
Having a perfect health, family and yet looking for this materialistic paper to make you more happy. Beats me.
How about this?. I will trade my GC to you , would you chop one of your legs for me?.
Health is the biggest wealth. Be happy with what you have. Focus on better things which will improve the life of your family and make them happy. Focus on things in your control.

Dear All,
First of all I am pleased to inform you that I will certainly attend the advocacy campaign. This will be my first participation. I am eager and hope to make it. I have also started making travel / stay arrangements.
Here is what I wanted to request / share with you:
1. The advocacy related information is is "red" font. I think red font is normally used for the "donor forum".
2. As such I was looking desperately for information aout advocacy, without trying to "click" on the available thread links, just because it is provided in red font! I then spoke to a friend of mine who told me that though this is in red font, I would be able to enter! I am sure, there could be many like me. Can you please make it obvious that "advocacy links" are not donor exclusive? This will spread the news and create better awareness. I am also planning to write mails to all my friends who are in the endless GC line
3. I think we are expected to show up in Saturday, April 2, 2011. What time should we be present and where? This is required for flight / hotel reservation. Do we have a common meeting point? What is the exact address? Any telephone / email / contact no(s). ?
4. Is there any dress code please?
5. Are the participants who turn up expected to fund some amount? If so kindly let me
know ( as I wish to write to my friends about this)
6. When will be able to leave on April 5, 2011? This is also required for the purposes of
hotel reservation and ticket booking
7. Are we all going to talk in one voice about Visa recapture? Or do we have other issues
in the agenda?
8. I work for a highly reputed international orgnaization. I have already taken the issue of the EB wait for GC with senior management and also with HR. The truth is, being born Americans, they were taken by surprise! On senior lady remarked , "Wow! Are you kidding me? 10 years minimum of a Green Card? Why don't you guys open your mouth!"
May be all this information I have asked is already available. If so, kindly give me the link. I will go through everything.
PLEASE GIVE MAXIMUM PUBLICITY TO THIS EVENT HIGHLIGHTING THAT THIS RELATES TO LEGAL IMMIGRANTS, LEGAL IMMIGRANTS, LEGAL IMMIGRANTS !!!
Sorry for the inconvenience, if any! Thanks to one and all!
Best wishes for the success of the meet! GOD Bless!

This was at Indian Consulate, Houston.
BTW, I added $20 to the fees for return overnite shipping. I didn't go there personally but sent it by overnite mail.
I guess you really were lucky to get away in 2 weeks...I have not heard any +ve stories for services at CGI Houston....Their customer service really sucks big time....Its unimaginably tough to speak to a person when you call, on top of that, if you get through, they are very rude to talk to....You are just helpless.....I did send my application via overnite fedex with a $20 fee for express mail and it reached them on Oct 26th.....Hopefully, will hear from them soon.....I will post an update if there is one.....

This is actually a very good idea. Maybe not 10% even 25% is fine.
This way microsoft, oracle etc. can get their workers.
Even Deloitte, PWC they hire americans and pay you when you're on bench.
Unlike most indian consulting companies, which don't pay you when you're on bench and make you lie on your resume.
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

Wait for another 2 yrs before you pull the plug.... I also returned back after 9 yrs in May 2009 but came back again in Apr 2010 , trying to Port up from Eb3 to Eb2 by accepting a higher position - this is genuine. The new company will file my PERM anyday ( AD was going on) and I'll leverage my Eb3-I old priority date of Mar 2005 which is CURRENT in EB-2 sector. I'm hopeful.
There are lot of challenges in India after being here for 9-10 years ONLY good thing is they will pay you good money because they will treat you as a 'imported commodity' :)
Email or Call me if you want to hear more.
Pappu, I really lost my interest in this. After waiting for so long, I have come to a state where I find this to be not worth it anymore. I don't want to continue with this uncertainity any longer and my children are growing up and I want to move on in my life. Negotiating a good job offer for a good position. Its not that I am going to get my GC in 6 months or let alone in 2 years with a total of more than 8000 people ahead of me. So, I am looking at a minimum of 2 years wait and I do not think its worth waiting any longer. Getting a GC in 3-5 years seems tobe a OK wait, but more than 7 years, I want to use my time in something else more precious. Did not mean to hijack the purpose of this thread, just wrote it because you asked that question.

I am jumping ahead of the situation here, but I just wanted to see what other members think/know. Assuming that the 90K visa recapture happens, It doesnt take too long for them to be used up in the current situation where there are a lot of people with labors and approved 140's (w/PERM). Not every one will have an oppurtunity to file for a new labor and file for 485. If DOS makes the PD's current / post Mar 2005, wouldn't it be unfair to people who labors are pending for 3 yrs. How does this work out in the previous recapture? HLG doesnt say about numbers being forwarded to the next year though.
