I think we should not make any predictions and wasting our time. EB3 became unavailable and we are all doomed. USCIS is useless and worthless. So guys start working on which is more useful in our daily lives. http://travel.state.gov/visa/frvi/b...letin_2539.html All the best for everyone. :mad:

I am done with this whole retrogression thing. I lost hopes of getting my I-485 cleared with in the next 3-4 yrs. Well I guess we have to wait for decades. USCIS really sucks and it is waste of time and energy following these visa bulletins. This is really outrageous. :mad: :(

According to some posts here and some web sites, EB2 would retrogress starting from next year(i.e. Oct 2005). So all the best on your decision.

Nope, as per my knowledge even for Sub Labor, the PD will be the same as the labor itself.

I have read from some of the threads, that you can receive I-EAD even before 90 days have passed. But you need to show the emergency of getting I-EAD that is like you may loose your job/benefits(getting a letter from your HR about the job). For further information read on the following sticky...

No, you cannot work on the basis of pending EAD. But you can obtain an Interim Ead from your local USCIS office. But this can be obtained only if you cross 90 days (from the Receipt date) of your EAD filing.

Yes, to get the visitor visa to canada you need I-94. It is one of the required documents they mention for getting a canadian visa. But when I was visitng canada, I had an expired I-94(in 2003) and they did not care much about it. So while returning back I had a new valid I-94.

Your priority date will be Dec 1999.

Again that seems to be a false alarm, he updated the post again that he is from Europe and is not effected by retrogression.

Fellas, Did the incorrect H1B visa number trigger his approval? somehow, karurk's application wriggled out of the hole.

Congratulations Karurk!! This is definetly some good news for EB3 unless he is not mistaken with his PD. Karurk can you please post your signature here. Lot of us are excited in here. Guys, is this the only post whose I-485 got approved which is effected by retrogression?

Sadly, it does not help the regular EB3 cases. According to my understanding it is only for Nurses, PT's, performing artist with exceptional ability who are separated as Schedule A Category.

I guess it is on the 10th of every month. Still 2 more days to go.

Apparently that RFE appears to be on I-140 not on I-485. So the hopes of moving the PD are dashed in July bulletin.....I am waiting for the first quarter of 2006 for the PD to move. :mad:

Check with your lawyer, you should have got an RFE on your EAD/AP, or you should be getting wthin the next few days.

Title VI: Family Unity and Backlog Reduction Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens are not counted against the 480,000 annual cap on family-sponsored green cards, thereby providing additional visas to the family preference categories * The current per-country limit on green cards is raised...

My suggestion is to stay on H1 till you get your green card. If you change to EAD and your employer revokes I-140, then you will be in trouble. If you change employers and get a new H1, and your old employer revokes I-140 then you cannot go ahead with your green card process. My best bet would...

Hope this does not effect the existing labor substituted cases. One way this is good, so that the fraud of selling approved labors (at unbelievable prices) will stop.

The new law is a relief to nurses but not to EB3 categories. So it does not help us and on top of that the Priority dates may retrogress further or become unavailable in the coming months which means we have to wait for many more years(frustrating!).

That was pretty quick. Did you do some magic or what? Anyways, Congratulations. Will appreciate if you can provide details like what is the priority date, is it EB2 or EB3 and your country.
