The system is broken, but only for us. Trust me, the US is only profit from the Illegal and Legal immegration. I lost hope, it`s the same dance, again, again and again.

USCIS local offices no longer issues interim EADs. Go to immigration.com and and bring up July/August 2006 newsletter.
You can schedule infopass & meet a local officer after 90 days. But he will only forward you request to the main center and ask them to either process your case quickly or issue an interim EAD.
But since the main center will be badly backlogged from now on, I wonder how they can even process interim EADs? If they can do it, they may as well do regular EADs?
I recall reading somewhere that with the new scheme, EADs were guranteed to be issued within 90 days and so no interim EADs were produced. But this 90 day limit will change in the next few weeks.

EB3 India GC PD 03/27/2003 :o
Labour approved : 08/01/2003 :)
I140 & I485 applied concurrently on 08/16/2003 in NSC :)
I140 denied due to education on 05/20/2004 :mad:
Applied MTR and I140 approved on 07/24/2004 :)
No count od EAD's & AP's applied :confused:
Switched job using EAD on 02/15/2005 :cool:
Remained on EAD status since than :eek:
Applied EB2 Labour on 08/15/2010 (started Porting process to EB2) in TSC :p
Labour approved on 12/12/2010 :o
Applied Premium I-140 01/15/2011 (Paid extra $1200 for that) in TSC :)
Eb2 I-140 approved on 02/08/2011 :o
Notification for approved I-140 sent on 03/06/2011 ;)
Lawyer notified NSC of pending I-485 on 03/08/2011 :rolleyes:
Recieved approval email on 03/24/2011 :D
I strongly recomend all EB3 folks who are retrogressed for more than a year to port over to EB2 if possible. Do not waste your time trying to pass some bill in favour of legal immigration etc. It will not happen. The money spent on porting is worth it . The wait is not worth the stress, tension etc.

Thanks all. I think the labor only says BS + min 3 years experience in related field. What are the chances that if I proceed on Monday, I will get an RFE on this? And would there be anyway I could respond to that RFE successfully?

My brother moved jobs early last year. He filed AC21 and got an RFE immediately.
The move was parallel in job function and the pay was good.
They replied to the RFE and then never heard back. In these economic times, USCIS
is scrutinizing every doc that gets filed.
Just an experience....
What did they ask for in the RFE?

It's like the USCIS and employers ganging up against you to make sure that you can't change employer without having to start everything all over again. Is that really fair? Well.. who said life is fair. :)
That pretty much covers our current situation :( ... EB immigration is driven by corporate interest and obviously it is geared to benefit them to the maximum extent possible.

my lawyer mentioned that I-140 PPS will come back after Texas and Nebraska have finish receipting the flood of I485 applications.
In a AILA meeting USCIS raised concerns about their ability to process the cases in 15 days and their concern is that they don't know how many applications they'll receive for I-140 PPS.
my lawyer mentioned its free money for these guys and they will bring it back. USICS still hasn't withdrawn PPS for I-129 or I-539 applications. They use the same freaking resources except now that they are using those resources to receipt for the new I-485 applications.
have patience.
Based on the information you know about immigration and discsion u have been having with frinds ,attorneys, websites..etc. What do you think about the probability of I-140 premium starting date...!!!
I guess 485 getting current does not help much without getting i-140 approved.

I am not sure how we can conclude that there is massive corruption and mismanagement. According to this report, tons of immigration applicants knowingly commit fraud in their applications. For instance, people file frivolous I485 applications that have no chance of succeeding, just to get EAD/AP. USCIS is having trouble balancing the Presidential mandate to reduce the backlog - which means faster processing of each application - with the need to detect and prevent fraud, which means taking a longer time over each application.
The title of this thread is quite misleading, IMHO.

Thank you for replying.
I believe when I was young I entered with family visit visa, then I re-entered the country using a re entry visa. I assume both has expired for awhile now, although my I 94 doesn't state an expiration date, it stats "ans or status" Could you explain what that means?

Why do we need a transit visa if we are just passing by the airport( I know UK has this rule). Can someone please share if we really need the transit visa. I am travelling on next week to Chennai via Frankfurt.
If you have a valid (unexpired) US visa and traveling, to OR from US, to any country via Germany, then you DON'T need a transit Visa.
If you are traveling on AP, you need transit visa via Germany.
Quote from the German Mission web site:
Nationals of the following countries are required to be in possession of an airport transit visa when passing through the international transit area of airports in Germany:
AFGHANISTAN, BANGLADESH, DEMOCRATIC REPUBLIC OF THE CONGO, ERITREA, ETHIOPIA, GHANA, INDIA, IRAN, IRAQ, JORDAN ** (please see below), LEBANON, MYANMAR, NIGERIA, PAKISTAN, SOMALIA, SRI LANKA, SUDAN, SYRIA, TURKEY
Exceptions: Nationals from the above list are entitled to transit through the international transit zones without an airport transit visa:
1. If they hold a valid visa for the United States of America
2. If they return from the USA after having used the visa
3. If they hold one of the following residence permits:
* Form I-551 permanent resident card (valid for 2 to 10 years),
* Form I-551 Alien registration receipt card (valid for 2 to 10 years),
* Form I-551 Alien registration receipt card (no expiry date),
* Form I-327 Re-entry document (valid for two years — issued to holders of a I-551),
* Resident alien card (valid for 2 or 10 years or no expiry date. This document guarantees the holder’s return only if his stay outside the USA has not exceeded one year),
* Permit to re-enter (valid for two years. This document guarantees the holder’s return only if his stay outside the USA has not exceeded two years),
* Valid temporary residence stamp in a valid passport (valid for one year from the date of issue).

Thanks, crystal. But what would happen if I wait now and just say, hypothetically, my I-140 is denied?
I will apply for extension based on your labor certificate for one year, if your i140 is denied your extension is still valid and you can refile i140.
To me applying for extention is covering your risk...better safe then sorry especially due to some body elses fault.
What if you donot apply and you donot get EAD by Jan 08, you can still stay legally but wont be able to work without EAD.

Recently, I made my own PP photos using http://www.epassportphoto.com/
This is a great service - It creates a jpeg file from a picture that you upload, and you can choose the "free" option in which you can save the jpeg file with 4-6 pictures in one frame (A 4" x 6" photo can yield 6 pp photos of 2" x 2"), and take it to Walgreens/Costco/Kinkos for a printout for $0.25 each. Otherwise you pay about $8-$12 for 2 photos at the same stores!!
For a family of 4, this equates to savings of ~ $40!!!
The site has all the tools for meeting various types of visa/pp/etc photo requirements for various countries.
Wow that is so Great!!!!!! You saved $40.
Now how about contributing it to IV?

The Advance degree + 3 years of experience on H1B are not just a matter of fact formulation from the senators. It�s an effort to revert back to the 60�s through 80�s formula where the only way to immigrate to the US (at least for Engineers) was to pursue a master�s degree in the US and then adjust their status to a PR. There is a growing demand from academic institutions to revive this culture. America wants people to study here, specialize in evolving technologies and drive the technological innovation. Every day we see posts on this forum of folks wanting to include laws and regulations to fix the situation that they are in. We need to have a unified front with a common goal. May be we should learn from the �less educated� Latino community. They probably do not have the internet media to rally support but boy did they have their voice heard with ONE COMMON AGENDA.
I agree with you. All the peoples want to fix the problem currently they are in. We should have a comman, broad sense goal.

I am not sure of your exact question as it is a bit ambiguous but here is what I read/understand
You can port an earlier priority date of an old I-140 even if the job description changes or your category has changed (EB-2 or EB-3). But this is only possible when you are applying for your I-485 (your old PD is current) by attaching a copy of your earlier approved I-140.
Also the underlying labor application/I-140 should be valid and not be substituted/revoked or cancelled. Again, check with an attorney but this is my understanding
Can�t we port our PD if our employer cancels our I-140 and reuse our approved labor.., I remember reading Once I-140 is approved PD is in candidates back pack.
Gurus please confirm this �, I hope lot of people might be waiting to hear this �

I think one should have a valid reason to Travel abroad on AP but IO can ask this question at your port of entry. So my understanding is one can apply for AP but should have valid reason to use it (travel) and should be able to satisfy IO at port of entry if they bring this question at your entry. I do not remember if we have any place on AP form to explain the reason to apply for AP.
