does the regrogression apply to the people who have already submitted 485??

Give your thoughts please.
Those who have been lucky enough to put in the applications will be able to get the benefits of EAD/AP/AC21 etc. However the applications will not be processed until the priority date becomes current (wrt your RD of LC).
 
I just spoke with my company lawyers and she said it will affect me.
My 140 is approved and 485 is pending (name check cleared recently).
Priority date is August 2001.

It will "affect" you inasmuch that your 485 will NOT be adjudicated till your PD clears the cutoff.

You can continue to file EAD and AP renewals (yay free money for USCIS) and your legal status is protected -- so in that sense you are better off than someone that has not yet filed his/her 485.
 
max21, Thanks for adding that information. I can still keep applying for
EAD/AP.

I am so darn frustrated now, that after lots of hassle I got my name check cleared from FBI on August 10th and now if my application is not cleared
before October 2005, I am screwed !! Arrrrrrrrrrrrrggg.
 
Hi

But then I think of the people who are in the following situation extremely screwed:

1. H1B has been used for like 5 or 6 years.
2. Priority date is 2001 or later.
3. EB3.
4. India, and China nationality.
5. Haven't submitted 485 yet.

Basically for this group of people, they have to forget about GC for good. Since they can not apply for EAD and their H1B will expire soon before they submit 485 (EAD) in order to keep them in status.

Am I right?

I agree, situation out there is a lot worse. I have so many friends
who are in such situations.

1) For people whose H1B is expiring
a) if they have Labor is pending, they can apply for 7th year extension.
b) people who have labor, but haven't applied for 485 yet, don't they
get 7th year extension similar to a) ?
 
This is very frustrating indeed. But U will be shocked to know (as much as I was shocked to hear today) that there quite a few people waiting since 98 :eek:

To outletvolt1

You are extremely lucky that your I-140 has been approved and that your name check is cleared. There are many people with earlier PD than yours that are not even close to LC approval. So, just be patient and it will eventually happen.

my question is that, one of my friend got his labor can he can't file I-485 OR he can atleast file I-485 because visa numbers needed for I485 approval only not for I485 filing?

Pl. shed some light on this for more clarification.


Thanks,

No, you can not file an I485 if the priority date is not current for your PD. While the visa number is used only when the case is approved, USCIS uses visa availability to cutoff dates to manage the influx of applications

he has time untill oct 1st unless he is EB2.. if he is EB3, he cannot
 
here is what i think witht the retrogression....may ppl claim how their gc is pending for more than 6 yrs...see many of these cases are pending because of variety of reasons...
1. they joined a shady employer...who cannot provide proper evidence...financial support ..etc
2. the labor is screwed up...improper filing...resulting in RFEs...
3. ppl do not follow up when address change happend...RFE...not handled...
4. some of them i know did not even provide proper documentation...e.g filing EB-2 labor but did not provide previous employement certificate...i know of few cases myself...
5. the last and most important cause is you work for a greedy A$$ whole employer who just keeps pushing your case...as long as it can...so that he can milk your money...

in general...if you started the GC process 6 yrs ago..you should have had your gc by now..unless you are some exception. i personally am into my 5th yr of Gc processing...into my 7 yr extension....i blame myself for the current situation...not USCIS . i did get my EAD & AP so that is why i am not converned with the retrogression. i know i can change jobs if i want to and my spouse can work...that is the most important thing to me...i will be happy to get the GC at some point...if it does not come...i might pack my bags and leave...if it comes to worst..

i feel sorry for ppl who are close to filing 485 but who cannnot and have to wait..that is a problem. but i read in murthy.com that early next yr there might be some positive movement in the visa dates....so everyone hope for the best..
