You are not alone!
I start my evry week with optimism and Friday evening with pessimism. St/Sun I try not to think about this.
Forget ppl who filed from Chicago. I know guys who filed after me from CA already have 140/485 approved. Why, you ask? Thier cases went to DBEC. Looks like we just got a dealt a bad hand. This is completely like a gamble. We have no control over it. The winners are really happy and ppl with 2001/2002 dates are getting screwed. And now even PBEC is approving cases from 2003 regularly. Wonder what they are doing with our cases.

My case is in DBEC but it hasn't helped at all. I also continue to wait very patiently . . .

DBEC too?
You gotta be kidding me. I know guys whose cases were filed in Mar 05. Went to DBEC and they already got approved. This system is so screwed up.
BTW, I have noticed that only EB3/CA are getting approved vy PBEC. I don't know of anyone with EB2 approved from PBEC. Have we see any such approvals?

Why Me????????
Exactly my sentiment too!
BTW I contacted both NY senators 3-4 weeks ago and also appealed to the Citizenship & Immigration Services Ombusdman (CISO) for help - found the email address for CISO, Mr. Prakash Khatri, somewhere in this forum.

Has it helped?
Have the senators been helpful at all? Did writing to the ombudsman help? I am really getting tired now. Is there nothing we can do? Its almost been 4 years and I don't know how long I can take this.
Even guys who filed after me and their cases also went to PBEC, were approved 3 months ago. Why am I being singled out?

Good news for guys who want to file I-140
I just read a news release pdf on USCIS.gov website dated August 18,2006. It says that from August 28,2006 EB3 category workers (except ones subcategorized as "Other workers") will be able to file for Premium Processing of their application and get adjudicated in 15 days for an extra fee of $1000.00. It would be worthwhile to wait until August 28 and file for I-140.
All the best LC cleared guys (who are still coming to this forum out of addiction or goodwill
).
Please find the pdf attached with this message.

CISO Contact information
The NY Senators staff is very polite and keep saying they will follow-up. But I'm not so sure they will be any help!
I emailed CISO only on 8/14 and also sent a hard copy of my letter by priority mail. Their website claims they provide a feedback in 45 days.

202 Number
Ok, so I call this number, and got picked up by a lady who politely but firmly said thay they can talk only to the Employer or the attorney. Not to the employee.
I know some ofo you have been successful in getting the status, how did you manage it? Did you need to someone in particular?
Secondly, who is "employer"? Is it your manager, or some specific person in the company?
Thanks!

I too haven't got the 45-day letter. My HR person called the 202 number yesterday and came to know that my case was closed in June 2006, and then reopened in August. I called my attorney and they had sent a pre-emptive email to PBEC to reopen my case early in August. But they have haven't received a confirmation of reopening of the case (which according to the attorney is important)Daann said:Thanks for the info
