You are lucky in a way because your spouse can work, you can change your job (AC21) and you can travel (AP) without fear of an H1 rejection at a consulate abroad.
You were lucky because you could file 485 when the PD's were current. Unfortunately many of us got our Labor Certified much later due to no fault of ours even though we had an earlier PD and could not file for 485 and thereby not availing of these incidental bfts like EAD, AC21, AP etc.
We are upset because the system is unfair. When ppl with similar qualifications, job, salary, etc got GC last year even with later PD (2002, 2003 etc) just because their labor came through whereas others like me with PD of 2001 had our LC's rotting at DOL wouldnt you be upset ??
There is nothing fair about this system. All said and done its a game of chance.
not really, I came to this country in 98 I had approved labour and I-140 with my first company I did not apply for I-485 for more than a year cuz I was not married, then everything fall apart I had to change company and my previous company screwed me. well I know system is not fair but thatz life, but you should appreciate for the fact that there is a system thru which you can change it for better only if you have will and courage, nothing happens by mere frusation, anger and foul cry,
so did you call the local senators, did u contribute
dude we are all in a same boat by the way I am sill waiting for my AP
