Philadelphia Backlog Elimination Center Tracking

I meant PBEC was going to send 45-day letters for the next 6 months. I received my letter long time back. Last time I talked the paralegal told me that the latest info she heard was that PBEC was going to stop approving applications and only focus on 45-day letters. Thus, she was suggesting me to keep my expectations low.

Now whether what the paralegal said about stopping approvals is true or not who knows and do not quote me on that. I am just the messenger. May be rumor afterall.
 
EB3 Movement for India ??

Hi Guys

I was going through the Feb 2006 Visa Bulleting at Murthy's

This is interesting paragraph there

EB3
©MurthyDotCom
All countries of chargeability are impacted by retrogression in the EB3 category. There was less than a month of forward movement for the All Chargeability Areas Except Those Listed category. This category is for all countries except India, China, Mexico, and the Philippines. The All Countries category moved forward to April 22, 2001. The same is true for China and the Philippines. Mexico moved forward by a few days to March 15, 2001.

The only country with significant forward movement in EB3 is India. India experienced forward movement of seven months. The cutoff date for India still lags behind the other countries, however, at January 1, 2000.

The other countries are all at dates around the 245(i) deadline of April 30, 2001. As mentioned, the vast number of cases filed at that time is likely the reason the dates are moving so slowly for all countries except for India, which has not reached that point.

I have a feeling that for India 245i may not affect much and it will move forward faster. ( going by the fact they never go for amnsesty schemes much)

Lucky Indians !!

What your paralegal said might be true to soem extent , going by the approval rate of PBEC of late.

However I have certain questions around that

The Guys who review & certify might not be involved in 45 days letter work I think ( This is just entering the case and generating 45 days letter and posting ) These are so called senior experienced officer who might not do that part. I think that is why we still see approvals coming from them ( ofcourse once in a while)

At the same time those contractors could be helping in the approval process in a much faster pace if they do not have to do that 45 days stuff

So 45 days letter ior not it might not have much impact I think with the approvals coming out. It solely depend on the speed at which those specialist guys are used to working at and how much they can pull up thier socks and start running ( which willnever happen unless we put pressure !!)

I hope this is true ! In that case, we can stick to our old PD of 2001/2002/2003 instead of trying things thru PERM.
 
Canada Green Card

Saknia and others,

Every body in PBEC forum would like to maintain their legal status. 7,8, 9 or 10th year H1 extensions, after 140 - 3 years H1 extension etc.

The US is country of Immigrants. There is no room for new immigrants in this country. Immigration process is taking more than 4 years to assess labor application i.e. whether this kind of skill set worker is required or not. The same department is indicated their decision in 21 days in 2000.

I lost confidence in US immigration system and they started hating aliens. I don't think PBEC is working professionally and they are acting with the personal emotions, motives and hate. This is my personal opinion may be due to frustration, may be wrong. Instead of voicing before adamant, prejudice and indecent creatures, what if we apply for Canadian Green Card. Is it difficult or expesive or more mess.

Could you please share your thoughts.
 
company exist check

My lawyer received two mails from Philadelphia BEC. The mails said that my company not exist, and phone number not valid.

Actually our company with same number ,same address, same phone number more than 10 years.

My layer mailed all my company's documents to PA BEC half year ago. and since then, we heard nothing from PA BEC.

Does anyone have same situation? What I should to do now?

Hi

Canada Immigration could be better option for IT areas only ss other Jobs are diffuclt to get. If you have a company who can sponsor it will be easy . You get PR in 1 to 1.5 Years and 2 yrs from then Citizenship with Free Medicals

You will never need Visa to USA and many countries after that. If you are in Consulting you can enter with just letter of appointment and get TN Visa at Border if you are Canadian Citizen

This is immigration side

Living : Housing is costly in areas where IT generally get Jobs. Climate is worse. Pay is not very good and savings are not very Great.

Cost : will not cost much. Around $1500- 2000 if you file yourself. If Company files it might be free sometimes if you are salebale there

Racisim : You have to face this for sure.

US is great. They will not send you out . You will spend here till you reach GC But will recover all that later for sure

Overall it depends on how many kids you have and menatally you are prepared to go there. IF both your Job and GC here is bad you can try that

Otherwise Join PBEC Awareness Campaign and get your labor and you made it

Saknia..

was that your comment that 245i - EB3 will not effect much for India..??
What makes you say so...EB3 for India is a heart attack I think...If not, touch wood, we r all saved by the skin...

Murthy says..Inida is still far behind foe EB3..like jan00..other countries atleast already closeby Apr01...

by the time thes damn LCs get approved if those dates move by..we r lucky...otherwise god knows..
 
We all are lost

Hello dear depressed Immigrents

I think we all are lost in PBEC . The worest thinG about PBEC is that no body knows when his/her case will be approved and when we will be able to get rid from this mess.

Last week my attroney and my employer sent an email to them to check my case status but it was of no use .

Some poor fellow are here who have replied 45 days love letter one year ago stil they have not received their approved LC

Guys my ponint is sooner or latter there will be some solution of rerogression but so far all the effort to expediate lc process seems to have fallen flat

I will say every body dealing with PBEC IS UNLUCKY

DBEC will me closing down in six month since one of my freind who applied in december 2004 his case has been approved

As i said before guys please think intelligently i think retrogression is not a problem its a very temp problem soon it will be fixed As i said beofore I-140/185 People are getting approved in less then one year . In Immigration
once you file youre case u can check your case status on line. you can send them a letter they also wont sit on your case too long either they will approve it or reject it . if they will sit on your case there will be some justification for that but in PBEC U HAVE TO SLLEP ONLY .

I REALLY DONT KNOW WHEN THIS WILL BE OVER AND WHEN THERE WILL BE PEACE IN OUR LIFE

Folks,
I am so sick and tired of the shi* that Philly BEC is giving us. Well, who isn't?

I have been thinking about applying for a brand new LC via PERM (EB2). I know this means loss of priority date. However, if I get my I-140 approved by the end of 2006, I will have the freedom to change employers as the priority date (in 2006) with go with me to which ever company I move on to...Also, it will make me eligible for a one-time 3 year H-1B extension (6th, 7th and 9th year of H-1B) which will hopefully give sufficient time for waiting for priority date to become current to file 485.

Is anyone else thinking along same lines? Please share your thoughts.

Could you please explain diadvantages of applying afresh under PERM? Pardon my ignorance.

Hi StresstestUSA

Who generally file in i245? Possibly all Latin American country workers who have some how creeped in here long time back. Not certainly India. One or two stray cases from India who come here on Visit and stay with out papers might be there. But not many compared to other Countries.

So for India it will move pass Apr 01 much faster than others I think

hope so...with a PD dec2002 from India in EB3..just wondering these chances...I hope it moves fast beyond apr 01..already waiting for the next visa bulletin..

Unless they count spouse and kids out and recapture unused visas..will the dates move..!!

All this has become a great mental torture on all of us...

Hi Saknia,

My Company is US based and will not sponsor Canada GC for sure.

Recently my Company started operations in India and I don't know the impact. How the number of kids matter for Canada GC, any how i have two. If I understand correctly one has to spend 3 and half years in Canada to get Citizenship.

After Canada GC one could come to USA and work or only after citizenship.

I am in IT side but I will not prefer, if racism.

How to join PBEC Awareness Campaign.

Thank you for your response.

Hi I did not mention your Company. Yiu should find a company in Canada to sponsor you if you want to land in a permamanet job. Else if you are doing consulting it is better to go through a Company.

If you have GC there yiou can still come here and work on TN Visa. Formalities are simpler if you have Citizenship from there

Reg No of children : I was told that Education is costly there not fully free like here. So out of the little savings here that matters

Finally I see that you are 2002. Please wait. Things will be much better in 6 months from now for you. If you want you can do this for safety side. Just apply for GC on your own ( which might take a Year plus) By that time you will know whether to take it or not

Where did you read that Canadian GC can work in USA on a TN Visa ? Everywhere it is mentioned that Canadian citizenship is a must to obtain TN visa. Also I read if you are a Canadian GC from a visa exempt country you do not need a passport Visa to work in USA. What does that mean ?
