Any Inputs
Guys,
My PD is March 2003 RIR EB2. Went to Philly DOL October 2003. 45 days recieved and replied Feb 2005. I am over my 6 year limit. Will it be advisable to file my case under perm, i think we would need to withdraw the old petition and refile under perm to retain the older priority dates. What do you guys suggest. I am little concerned. Any input is appreciated.

In my opinion, it is worth NOT withdrawing your Mar 2003 application.
Best case:
As of now we have seen latest approvals dated Nov 2002.
Anticipating the continuation of this trend, you MIGHT get your LC in another 3/4 months. [I am just guessing widly, so no-offense to anyone.]
By then PD for filing 485 might move and become current for you.
Worst case (WC):
wait...wait...wait...
So to beat the WC, you are thinking of applying thru PERM.
You said, you are over your 6-year limit, so you got to be very careful while withdrawing your old case and applying PERM to get the old PD. A very very good attorney should handle this so that everything goes smoothly. Otherwise there is a huge risk involved as you need this PD to get your H1 Extentions.
These are just some thoughts.
If they do not make sense, just ignore.
Good luck!!!
But I wish you get your LC soon.

Correct statement would be
PBEC has touched aug 02 but skipped some of the cases…
It is not only Aug 2002 but July, sept, oct and now continuing with November…December 2002..So PBEC is moving forward but at the same time they are skipping some cases
(My understanding is PEBC is skipping 30% cases each month for some unknown reason).We should try to find out why ? Either from lawyer/HR or calling directly to them…
As per Rajiv we should send inquiry request?
I already had one attempt to findout about abt my case answer was very general..
But if more ppl try then we can make some conclusion…
July 2002, CA still waiting

Guys..Dont slash me in and out...!!
off the topic in this thread,but what is happening at the Managers Table etc(not sure of the right term which IV team is struggling for) is it possible to file for 485 after labor approval...? of course we will have the 140 stage in between..
Can any veterans post,if this miracle happens,how long will it take for us to see the ray of light in our lives..??!!

Hi sacbee,
My case #P-04-307. My lawyer says that they don’t give any information to him either, other than directing to some automatic answering machine. Also, he cautioned me to not give out any detailed information while talking with @PBEC. However, he did not give me any convincing reason for this. I last checked my status in last week of April 2006, by sending email to H1B7YR@PHI.DFLC.US to make sure that all the information case region, priority date and processing type are still ok (I had a friend, whose application in DBEC suddenly changed from RIR to TR one fine day).
We just have to wait but how long ? I don't know.

The current scenario is that the House of Reps and the Senate have passed two diametrically opposite bills. The next steps - reconciliation between these two bills, passing the reconciled bill in both HR and Senate, then President signs it. The Senate bill includes a manager's amendment by Sen. Spectre for the 485 eligibility you write about - this amendment is considered as though the Senate passed it. So it will be included and considered in the reconciliation effort (conference). These steps can take anytime between 3 to 9 months. The general feeling is that this will finish only after the Nov election. However Bush will want to get this off the table ASAP and if Bush pushes harder then we may see it before the election. With the emphasis on relief to illegal immigrants, I'm afraid many of the provisions for legal immigrants may be omitted as part of a compromise at the conference.... I hope my fears are misplaced.
