cyclic labor filing -- will be cyclic This cyclic labor filing may never go away. For guys with 140 denial due to wrong labor, or for guys whose 485 got denied due to company issues or for guys who have come to tailgate of there 6th year on h1b… ‘Substitution labor’ is the quick way. Even...

There are tons of guys who have taken there FP/Biometrics twice as many times and waiting.. Looks like there is no relationship between FP n 485 approval. Some guys did Biometrics after 485 approvals ... lucky guys.

Can any one explain or guess ... why there are no approvals for worldwide guys? India -- China explainable ... but why the worldwide guys are stuck too.....

Agreed. Lets see how this plays out. But what if, even this does not bring the cut-off date to Current for EB-3 india and mainland china?

Limitation on Per Country Ceiling Section 104(a) of the AC-21 Act provides that if, on a quarterly basis, the number of visas available in all the employment-based preferences exceeds the number of immigrants qualified to receive the visas, then the overflow of visas may be allocated without...

A question for you UnitedNations, you have tons of knowledge and I wanted to thank you for sharing all that information with the forum members. A question for you, Getting a green card is a privilege and not a RIGHT. So can the USCIS withdraw this privilege, if it later finds out...

Ac-21 AC-21 is a memos and memos of this type do not have the force of law and are subject to change by the issuance of subsequent memos, regulations, or changes in law. They are guidance on USCIS interpretation at the time they are issued and generally are used by the Service Centers in...

That was a great story ... that means we are protected anyways .. even if the employer withdraws the 140. can you give me the details of the new Memo which address that issue.. Are all the substitute labor guys are great risk at 485 stage.... as there is no way to tell if the original guy...

Man this is too confusing: think of this. Emp001 from India EB3 -- Gets labor -- gets 140 -- applies 485 and moves out with AC21. Well protected from his employer. Emp001 is retrogressed and is waiting ... dreaming cut-Off dates. EMP002 form Japan joins the same company and the employer...

Experts --- Please do comment. I know couple of guys who swiched jobs and paid high $$$ to get a pre-approved labor ... I will wait and see if they get approved.. If 485 cannot be approved for multiple guys with the same labor ( in the circumtances discussed above in the thread)... Do all...

I think that is possible : They do a re-order of all the application that becomes "documentary OK" in the previous fiscal year. USCIS process 485 as they become documentary OK ... this list is drawn up in the begining of the year.. say for year 2005 they would have drawn up list in Sep...

Just numbers for us. Yes.. thats correct. The worldwide quota for immigrant visas is 675,000 visas per fiscal year. ( Family Based 480,000 + Employment Based 140000 + Ethnic Diversity 55000). But some guys like immediate relatives of US citizens & refugees are not counted against...

Here is something that can help. Well here is something that can help U... My wife showed here EAD last time and she got the D/L with expiry date that was on the EAD card. Second time she went with 485 receipt notice... and 140 approval notice (not needed)... she got it for 4 years...

Long wait. All immigration gurus say that --- for EB3 from retro affected countries ... its a very very long wait --- some say few years. Someone rightly suggested that -- EB3 should stop asking for faster GC processing ... instead ask for increasing the validity period for EAD. If...

How it works. Part V Because the monthly waiting lists submitted by posts are ordered within each classification by priority date of documentarily qualified applicant, a heavy influx of applicants for the new month can result in a case where the priority date of the highest applicant on the...

How it works. Part IV The remainder of this post discusses processing under the latter method since it is the most common. According to internal Service administrative guidelines, the alien is supposed to be interviewed within sixty days of filing the I-485. Current backlogs and personnel...

How it works. Part III I should also mention that the monthly reordering of lists by priority date (so that the cutoff date can be determined) is not related to the order in which immigrant visa cases are processed. The general rule is that cases are processed in the order in which the...

How it works. Part II Visa numbers are not carried over from year to year. If unused at the end of the year, they are lost. Therefore, one can see that if a country continues to be oversubscribed year after year (i.e., demand for visas exceeds the number of visas allocated by prorating the...

How visa numbers work Part I InderPaul, Well I can describe the whole process ... but it won't fit in into this post alone .. so I split .. I hope U have the cool mind to read thru this .... anyway here we go. How visa numbers work. This part covers the quota system. The US has...
