weldon springs, follow my posts. you are right, TSC is doing a better job. look at my previous post, they even renewed my Ead from the date of expiry of the previous one, so that we dont pay money for nothing. my EAD got renewd in exactly 4 days..
I am feeling very envious of people having their applications processed at the TSC. TSC as seen by the examples above are renewing EAD in 2 weeks.
However, NSC is taking 2 months to process these EADs. There is a big difference between processing logic at NSC v/s TSC
I think the employee diversity at TSC is big compared to NSC. Therefore, people add their heart to work and processing is faster. In other words, Intent is pure. If you pay a higher fee for a service you get the return.
Contrast that with NSC. The employee diversity is poor. Employees are working just because it is a government job and their intentions are questionable, therefore a big lag in processing.
Hope the courts teach NSC a lesson, that nobody is above the law and they should be processing cases quickly as compared to their TSC counterparts. Hope somebody is listening.

Wastage of H1 visas is criminal.There should be a quota on H1 visas per company-no more than 500-1000 per company,plus percentage limits of h-1 visas to total employees in a company.Along with this if there is a simple provision as there is in other countries like england,where the spouse can work too it will solve a lot of issues.
The self regulating nature of the market is the fundamental basis of this capitalist economy. There should ideally be no quota's for anything. The market will decide the ideal number of H1Bs. In 2007 when there are a lot of jobs, then a quota of 165K would also get filled up. In 2002/2003 when the quota was 165K, there were unused H1B visas. If you have a limit of 500 and a company already has 500 H1Bs and wants to come out with a new product and cant find non-H1 engineers, what should they do? Outsource? lay off some other H1s to stay within the quota?
If you do want to have a quota, then as someone said, H1Bs should be given out on some sort of points system based on experience+education+salary, instead of the lottery. Let the more 'valuable' candidate into the country.
Agree that spouses of H1Bs should be allowed to work, just like those of L1 etc.

Fellows,
We all had a sigh of relief when we saw the new labor certification process (Perm) and were promised that it will be much faster and smooth. Thankfully they have kept their promise, for the most part, except for the cases that get audited.
The cases that are 'randomly audited' have been pending for months and months, some cases () have been pending for over an year and there have been no response from DoL what so ever. I understand that a year does not sound bad especially to those folks who had their labor approved through the old process but these days the labor is getting approved within 50-60 days (average). It appears that the DOL (Atlanta Processing Center at least) does not bother to look at the documents once the audit has been replied to.
Although I understand that not everyone uses and some audit replies may have been replied sooner and were never reported to but you can get the idea just by a sample of the cases that were audited, and see that they have being neglected, ignored or appears that they are no longer considered for further processing. I have seen instances where the lawyers have retreated the application in the audit and filed a new application (a gamble) hoping that it does not get audit this time around. But not sure how that turned out.
If you visit the Atlanta Perm section on you will see the people's misery I mention here. In fact, I am sure that there are number of IV members who are going through this aggravating process but are silent becuase they know that can not do anything. Even lawyers have shown the sign of disappointment to this hopeless condition.
So I ask you, the IV Senior Members, to help us and suggest something that (we) can be done to bring this to the attention of some sort of authority that would help trigger the review of Audit responses.
Thank you!

1. Bill applies to anyone who got their degree in preceding 5 years or resided legally since graduating (even greater than 5 years) will be eligible under this bill.
2. Many ROW EB2 and EB3 will get visa number from the 55K if they have advanced degree here. That means more spillover.
3. Many EB2I/C forks will get visa number from the 55K if they have advanced degree here. That means more spillover.
4. There are going to be more Indian and Chinese apply for EB2? Not that easy any more. The DOL is tougher than before on PERM application. I don't believe there are going to be 55K more new EB2 applicants each year. No matter whether there is additional 55k, people are always trying to applying for Eb2 if there can. As we don't see that many new EB2 now, I don't believe we will get that many new Eb2 later either. Plus, the bill does not say the 55K visa will only go to EB2.
5. What else can we do then? It is already very tough to push this bill through. Should we modify the bill by saying that just simply applying the 55K to everyone, no matter if he/she has advanced degree? I am perfectly OK with that if the IV core think it is a better idea. Personally, I think that would make this bill even more difficult. :
I am not really sure how this will help people in the queue ?!? The people waiting forever and in need of most help are ones from 2002, 03 etc. This provision gives away GC's to recent grads (some who may not have even applied for GC yet !) while so many from a decade ago desperately have to wait for infinity.

Many of us have gone through the Canadian immigration process and received permanent residence there "as a backup". It's a monumental waste of time and resources.
The several thousand dollars worth of additional (and mostly unnecessary) expense could be better spent here in the States. Something that can perhaps also be highlighted in your presentations.

It could be a waste of time if your plan is to be in the US. Everyone I know who went through the process in Canada planned to stay in Canada. I was just pointing out how easy it is there compared to here and the fact that they don't discriminate against people because of their racial or ethnic background.
Canada could be a good model for the US. Therefore, I thought about comparing the processes during the meeting.

Weldonspring,
I am on the same board. I am also planning the samething.
1) After 11 weeks that is next week Friday call the customer service and raise a Service Request
2) Within 2 wks no response, on 90th day I will walk into the local office (SFO) and ask for interim EAD.
3) If Still create the issues, packe the bags and go back to home country. It is really bad,
getting frustrating for everything no regulare process and always waiting.
So I give up, I applied on april 1st and still waiting no updates:mad:
Agreed it's frustating, but I wouldn't give up so easily. i would continue working if they don't issue an interim EAD, if that becomes an issue later on (very unlikely that USCIS will figure out you worked during the EAD gap, do you believe they are that efficient?). The worst that could happen is 485 denial. at that time you can explain (to the court if necessary) that it was the USCIS who delayed processing on the case causing the gap in EAD's. BTW, upto 180 days of out of status stay, work without EAD etc is forgiven.
Cheers.

You will understand later my brother. After you get the GC when you look back. You will say to yourself "Wow, I was being so small and petty minded: I was bashing up real people for a piece of plastic". That is the time we can meet and be friends
Value of a "person" will be known when he is gone. But the worthlessness of material thing gets realized when it actually comes. Character of a person is truly tested during trying times. May you reminisce about it later and wonder why didn't you do better
Good luck. And BTW I was not the guy who gave you red.
About this message: It's not just for MC, but many,many more of you. Is it really important that you won the race in life, more than how people remember you? I am not "targeting" anyone in particular, just indulging myself with some philosophy. Peace.
My Friend, I dont understand why you gave me this big reading class and what you do you want to say.

[for each person who signs on, they need to give their name, their employer�s name, their case number, and their filing date.]
Here is how I think we should collect this information:
- Everyone who wants to support this initiative send (snail mail) a piece of paper with their Name, Company Name, Case Number, Filing Date, Audit Date and Signature at the end, to an address (to be determined). These cases will be attached to the template/letter above and sent to the Inspector General.
That way we will have one letter, but individual signatures and cases, all in one package.
Any suggestions?

That is the first point for me to generate doubts about the accuracy of the data.

Great to know about your effort. Thanks a lot. Greatly apprecite if you could consider my request too...!!!
Dependent should be removed from the cap or the primary applicant should be able to bring the dependet to US with some kind of visa while the primary applicant is using EAD/GC(its ok if this visa does not allow the dependent to work in US untill the PD becomes current and his/her 485 is filed)
At present there are many singles/married who are not switching to EAD in order not to jeoperdize the spouse H4 visa.
Thanks again for your effort..good luck...!!!!

02/01/2007 21/30 p.m.: Senate Passed Immigration Reform Bill Today
The Senate passed today Fair Minimum Wage Act, H.R. 2 today. The House passed this bill, H.R. 2 and the Senate debated the bill for the past several days. In the process, hundreds of amendments had been introduced on the Senate floor. The Senate floor then agreed to a lot of these amendments. One of these amendments which the Senate had agreed to and passed as Division B of the H.R. 2 is the Immigration Reform bill.
The immigration reform bill was introduced by Senator John Kerry and agreed to by the floor unanimously. The immigration reform bill that the Senate passed today covers a lot of the provisions which were part of the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act of 2006 which the Senate passed last year and failed in the House.
We will analyze the bill and report it step by step for the next several days. Please stay tuned to this website....

Folks,
I am a passive IV listener and this is my first post. I was not expecting my GC to be approved for atleast a year since my priority date was Dec 04 and this is the first time I am current. Also, I applied for I-485 only last year in Sept 2008. So it was unlikely they will look at my case since there were people before me from 2007. However as random as they are, I got the e-mail today that they ordered the production card for me. I am EB-2 and my case was st forward though, no RFE's ever and I have not changed job as I am pretty happy where I am. Anyways, all the best to the folks waiting.
Thanks,
Ramesh
Good to hear this....though I am :mad:.......i am really happy that i have my lovely wife...kids....home...etc.....nothing wrong in my life....if i have the gc i will be more happy....

All moderators,
Please watch out anything that comes out of Senator Kennedy's office...
Some one in Kennedy's office is hell bent on getting rid of paragraph (5) in there....
paragraph (5) is the one that gave us the 'soft' country limits...
Here is the law text....
http://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/8/usc_sec_08_00001152----000-.html
TITLE 8 > CHAPTER 12 > SUBCHAPTER II > Part I > � 1152
(5) Rules for employment-based immigrants
(A) Employment-based immigrants not subject to per country limitation if additional visas available
If the total number of visas available under paragraph (1), (2), (3), (4), or (5) of section 1153 (b) of this title for a calendar quarter exceeds the number of qualified immigrants who may otherwise be issued such visas, the visas made available under that paragraph shall be issued without regard to the numerical limitation under paragraph (2) of this subsection during the remainder of the calendar quarter.
(B) Limiting fall across for certain countries subject to subsection (e) of this section
In the case of a foreign state or dependent area to which subsection (e) of this section applies, if the total number of visas issued under section 1153 (b) of this title exceeds the maximum number of visas that may be made available to immigrants of the state or area under section 1153 (b) of this title consistent with subsection (e) of this section (determined without regard to this paragraph), in applying subsection (e) of this section all visas shall be deemed to have been required for the classes of aliens specified in section 1153 (b) of this title.
If the 'soft quota' is gone...everything else is bullshit....
Every time I see something come out of Senator's office....They always strike para 5...
Nice work. pls continue to be vigilant with the bill langauge.
