Yep, it's been a long 16 yrs in the country....
15 years (Aug 11th), 2 days and counting .... All in US Came for masters in 1995
:D
Since you are still waiting, you can potentially break his record. But I sincerely wish you lose this race.
best of luck.

Hi Gurus,
I need some help with my situation:
After 5 years of waiting, my Labor got finally aproved thru Dallas BEC(EB3, RIR, PD: Oct'02). But my wife is in India on vacation and as per original plan will return middle of August.
1. What are my options so I can take advantage of the PD being current for me?
2. can I apply for I-140 and I-485 and then apply her I-485 when she returns?
Thanks.
gc_hopful
As per my knowledge, ask your wife to come back from India and file I-485 along with your petition by before Jun 30, 2007.
If you want to wait till she comes back from India you can, but at that time (in Aug ) Cutt-off dates should be current to your PD date, If not you CANNOT file I-485 to your wife.
Best of luck.
-- Remeber I am not lawyer. check with your attroney immideatly for the best option.

StuckHere: As a backstop, do you have AP in hand? If yes, my attorney has recommended sending a letter withdrawing your H1-B stamping application to the consulate where you interviewed. Then with a copy of the letter in hand, and with your AP, seek to reenter the US on your own terms... Good luck...
I have just filed for PERM in nov '07.. and I don't have an AP handy either. Can I get my company to apply for one ?
THanks !

Does it work well with Home security systems Like BRINKS? How good is the call quality if you have DSL at home. I have DSL with 1.5 MBPS download. Thus the voice garbles when you are actively downloading on Internet.
It will not work in case of power failure unless you have UPS back up for your modem. You will need standard landline to work with Brinks. I would advise to get cellular backup and make that number is first number to call in case of a break in. Burglars generally cut phone line when they become aware of security system. There have been some complaints where security companies just called the landline and since you didn't answer they left a voicemail. Logically they are suppose to all cops.

Hey BP, taking your numbers and assuming horizontal spill over instead of vertical would make eb2 all over current. total spill over from eb1 = 53807, total eb2 quota = 40040, pending eb2 = 74932
assume eb1 demand = 5000, eb2 demand = 20000
we can easily see eb2 getting completely approved.
I concluded the same ( Though never posted that analysis :)) But It looks like we are missing a very critical point - we are assuming that " these pending numbers are the total 485 workload USCIS has" but I referred a different chart on USCIS board and it looks like there is a separte hoard of "preadjudicated" applications already sitting in a queue apart from these numbers. Please check on following link.

Yes I had one pending and no RFE was received for either. My lawyer is expecting a notification from USCIS stating the second one is withdrawn.
Congratulations on getting GC.
I think the fact that you had same A# helped you despite multiple filings. There are cases of people where even though they have declared their second application, USCIS assigned them a second A# number.
Pls. Stick around in IV and help others with your knowledge.

LETTER TEMPLATE #4
Dear Mr. President:
I came to America in pursuit of opportunities, educational and economic. I have stayed here <<<NUMBER OF YEARS>>> years, received a graduate degree in <<<FIELD OF EDUCATION>>>, contributed positively to the <<<INDUSTRY OF WORK>>> industry, bought a home and become a part of the society I live in. I have found that the US economy yearns for my skills as a <<<JOB TITLE>>> and would like me to stay and contribute as a permanent resident. Yet the US immigration system has failed to reconcile with this need. I stand in line to become a permanent resident in the US and face a decade long wait before my turn will appear. The specter of such a wait poses a question I have to answer soon. Do I chase my dreams as an innovator in another economy, unburdened by the indignity of a decade long wait? Or do I shackle my aspirations for the future promise of a life in America?
Mr.President, I believe you can remove the burden of difficult choices these questions impose by helping me believe that America welcomes and values my skills, talent and aspirations. You can help rekindle the hope that that I can wait for my turn without compromising on my right to a fair and dignified immigration process. Mr.President, you can restore my faith in the immigration system and in America by implementing administrative reforms to:
* Recapture administratively the unused visas for permanent residency to fulfill the congressional mandate of 140,000 green cards per year.
* Revise the administrative definition of "same or similar" to allow slight additional job flexibility for legal immigrants awaiting adjudication of adjustment of status (I-485) petitions.
* Allow filing of Adjustment of Status (Form I-485) when a visa number is not available.
* Implement the existing interim rule to allow issuance of multi-year Employment Authorization Documents (EAD) and Advance Parole.
* Allow visa revalidation in the United States.
* Reinstate premium processing of Immigrant Petitions.
The above reforms are simple and yet can have far-reaching effects on my life along with those of a half million others. These are urgently needed to fulfill your stated goal of attracting and retaining highly-skilled legal immigrants from around the world, eliminating bureaucratic inefficiency, and improving the lives of future Americans already living and working legally in the United States.
I thank you for you attention to this matter.
Respectfully,
<<< FIRST AND LAST NAME >>>

Is USCIS following any pattern while approving I485 cases when the dates are current?.
Nothing in particular. Some patterns which were discussed here were mere coincedence.

My $0.02. This could be a pre-emptive measure on the part of AILA. There must have been some talk at the state department of mid-month regression. This might be a strategy to scotch that. Raise a ruckus and send a message that we are prepared to file a law suit. Who knows? We are mere pawns in this grand game. Whatever happens, I hope people keep some perspective and not lose sleep over this.
- Sri
yeah right. scare the state-department with a lawsuit.
guys, this is the government we are talking about. A lawsuit is not going to deter them. AILA will settle, the government will investigate and some poor sod somewhere will be fired. Life will then go-on with us hanging on in limbo.
Whatever happens, I hope people keep some perspective and not lose sleep over this.
good advice. Since we cant control whats happening, might as well take our mind off it, and wait and see what happens.

Good question. The bill is expected to be on the floor of the Senate and House for debate in Feb-06. Learning from S1932, it is my guess that the soonest bill could be law is 2-3 months. So we may be looking at something like April/May-06. But nothing is for sure at this time. It is possible that the debate may be dragged on till third quarter of 2006. We should start the activity to communicate with the law makers right now and continue to convey the right message if we want anything good to come out of the new bill.
The delay with S-1932 was due to other controvertial issues. As for the immigration provisions, i doubt if any law maker insisted on them being part of the bill. Most of the bickering was about oil drilling and patriot act. This time Patriot act will compete for senate time if it is not resolved by feb. Once the immigration bill is introduced, it should not take more than 2 weeks get it to vote and another week for conference committee.
My Q was even if some law is passed will the uscis wait till oct to implement any proposed changes.
I was curious as to how this works because it might be tough for me to stick with my current company for 1 1/2 years more to get portability.
Ofcourse we will try our best but somethings r not in our hands.

I want to move from reliance to airtel or trueroots before deciding on vonage. Can someone tell me as how good is airtel 1c/min offer? hows the quality to india and other countries?
Thanks
Airtel call quality is really good and it's cheap compare to reliance....I stopped using reliance almost 3 years......if you pay 9.99+taxes will give you 600 minutes talk time and 45 days validity...I also used for australia and singapore, call quality was great...never had any problems...
