11/01/2005: Senate Judiciary Bill at the Brink of Collapse Unless Everybody Contacts Senators and Congressmen!!!
The full Senate failed to take a roll call for this bill today. Believe it or not, Senator Byrd intends to offer an amendment tomorrow (11/2/05) to remove the H-1B and immigrant visa retrogression provisions passed by the Senate Judiciary Committee from the Budget Reconciliation Package.
Please call your Senators and urge a "NO vote on the Bird Amendment Immediately!!"
CALL THE CAPITOL SWITCHBOARD: 202-224-3121 OR GET DIRECT LINES BY CLICKING HERE: http://capwiz.com/aila2/home/
Everyone should call tonight. I mean EVERYONE. Call your friends and relatives and ask them to participate in this urgent campaign and call their Senators tonight. Call or send e-mails to your immigrant friends and alert them IMMEDIATELY! Ask them to call or send e-mails to everyone they know and ask them to call the Senators tonight. TIME IS OF ESSENCE.

Lost in CG space
I was out of this forum for a while and now I am kind of confused. Some one pls. updated me as to what’s going on with the GC process.
I filed in Dec 2003 under EB3-RIR. I don’t have a case number or a PD. How or when do I get a PD or a Case #?
I haven’t received a 45-day letter either. Is the regular Labor processing still going on? I am thinking of re-filing under PERM, what do you guys think of that? My 8th year extension is due in Feb ’06. Is there a delay in that, still?
You guys must be thinking whether I was sleeping all this time, honestly I am so fed up with this S-H-I-T I didn’t event want to talk about the GC stuff.
Just to share the frustration, another two illegal immigrants who work in a restaurant in NJ got their GC done. LOL…

Please somebody help. I have filled my labor certification back in January 2001 in New York State. Then it was converted in RIR in February 2002. Which one out of these two is my priority date? I have not recieved 45 days letter yet. My lawyer says that she is helplessbecause there is no way to find out what is going on with my case. I should get 45 days letter long time ago. What should I do?
thank you for any responce.

45 day letter received
Dear all,
My attorney told me he received the 45 day letter from DOL. MY case is NY state, PD: May 2002, SWA, RIR.
Hope you all have a good weekend. Best of luck for all of us who get stuck at PBEC.

So how many from 2001 are left without 45 day letter. The rumor is out there that PBEC will be done with data entry by the end of this year and then they will start adjucating cases. RIR cases are likely to go much faster compared to Non-RIR. SO dont expect FIFO. Regional cases are being approved at this time. Hence we are seeing whole lot of approvals from MD, Va, Pa.

Bill Passed in Senate
11/04/2005: I-485 Filing During Visa Retrogression Under S.1932 - Who Is Covered?
One of the huge benefits which the just passed Senate Reconciliation bill, S. 2932, will offer to the immigrants is to allow filing of I-485 application for certain EB petition beneficiaries and their family members, even during the period of visa retrogression, upon payment of $500 fees. It is thus important that people understand who are covered by this provision.
The following I-140 petition beneficiaries will be able to file I-485 applications regardless of the visa number availability:
Those whose employer filed I-140 petition for him or her, but who could not file I-485 applications because of the visa number retrogression. This group includes two sub-groups: Group A: Those whose I-140 petition has already been approved at any time. Group B: Those whose I-140 petition has been filed and pending at the tme of enactment of this legislation. It appears that those whose I-140 petition is not pending at the time of enactment of this legislation, one may still be able to file concurrent I-140 and I-485 application during the period of visa retrogression inasmuch as the USCIS revises the current concurrent filing regulation. Otherwise, these group of people have to wait until their I-140 petition is approved before they can file I-485 applications.
Those who are eligible for I-485 applications under this new legislation will be able to obtain EAD and Advance Parole pending their I-485 applications. Of course, their I-485 application will not be approved until the visa number becomes available.
EB classifications which are covered by this legislation are as follows:
EB-1A (Extraordinary Worker)
EB-1B (Outstanding Researcher)
EB-1C (Multinational Corporate Executives and Managers
EB-2 (Advanced Degree or Exceptional Ability Workers including NIW)
EB-3 (Professional or Skilled Worker)
EB-3EW (Unskilled Worker)
EB-3EX (Schedule A Worker)
EB-4 (I-360 Religious Workers) and EB-5 (Investor Immigrant) workers are not covered.
The accompanying or following to join spouses and children are also covered.
Once they file I-485 applications, they will also receive the AC-21 portability benefits and will be able to change employment after 180 days of I-485 filing.
Because of the foregoing benefits, even if the Immigration Reform legislation fails to increase the EB quota numbers substantially large enough to cover the current visa number waiters and forth-coming I-485 filers, they will be able to at least lead a normal life using EAD and Advance parole.
For the foregoing reasons, the immigrant community should work hard in collaboration with their employers to get the Reconciliation bill enacted into law!!!!
The full text of this part of the legislative bill is as follows:
`(2) If a supplemental petition fee is paid for any petition under subparagraph (E) or (F) of section 204(a)(1), an application under paragraph (1) of this subsection on behalf of an alien beneficiary of such petition (including a spouse or child who is accompanying or following to join the principal beneficiary) may be filed without regard to the limitation set forth in paragraph (1)(C). An application for adjustment of status filed under this paragraph may not be approved until such time as an immigrant visa becomes available.'.
(2) PENDING APPLICATIONS- An alien on whose behalf a petition was pending under subparagraph (E) or (F) of section 204(a)(1) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1154(a)(1)), on the date of enactment of this Act may, upon the payment of the supplemental petition fee set forth in such section, apply for adjustment of status under this subsection without regard to the limitation set forth in section 245(a)(1)(C) of the Immigration and Nationality Act (8 U.S.C. 1255(a)(1)(C)), as amended by paragraph (1).

Concurrent filing
Could someone tell me if concurrent filing of I-140 and I-485 is allowed for EB3 category ?
Please see my previous post. If that bill is approved by the House, we could benefit by appling for I-485 even if the GC numbers are not available. This will give the applicant portablity after 6 months from the time the I-485 is filed. ie. can change jobs after 6 months.
Thank You.
