Haha. That is an accurate assessment at a 50-foot level. I was pretty disillusioned after a couple of years of working. A mixture of what the fuck am I doing, but not really knowing what to do, and all confused because I was at probably the biggest firm around and and a feeling of even if I switch, what's the point? And not having the balls to switch jobs, for the fear of throwing away what I had, mixed with personal struggles with life and not having the social life that I wanted.
In between all this, the desire to get the GC process kicked off came and went, esp. since I wanted to switch positions to a more people oriented role, and the feeling of gosh, do I want to stay in 6+ years in this job - maybe if I file, then I won't want to change jobs.
As you can see, even I am not sure what was going on there. But my personal life and acclimatizing has sorted itself out rather well of late, and I do want to stay here now that I have a really interesting life (and partly out of fear of throwing everything away and moving somewhere new).
Now, I know that IV is not a self-help trauma group, so I will cut short my story here, which has little to do with the raw facts of my immigration situation :)
And yes, I did not participate or know much about the visa process, or IV till recently, and am a recent need based participant, but I hope that does not stop anyone from contributing their ideas to help me out.
*** Also, to the previous poster (nojoke) who said that big companies usually hold off on perms, are you suggesting that I have a better chance at a smaller company then?
UPDATE: My company attorney suggested talking about this in April, and I am nervous about waiting till then in limbo - things are only going bad to worse, I might as well find a job at a place which will sponsor a PERM sooner rather than later.
I request you to PM me if you have any leads for such companies might still be a good bet for filing a PERM.
uhh..damn immigration process..

that the company did not hire any replacement for you?
That company has not hire anyone, they have to let go some people. We all were waiting to see if bussiness got better. It did not.

GCN007,
Here is what I replied to the congressman's inquiry mail:
Thanks for your help.
But as it is evident from the mail...they are not at all sincere in their reply. If receipt date is the issue then I won't have been approved either and nor would hundreds of my friends and colleagues who have got approved having receipt dates after me. Also our receipt date is July 23rd 2007 as is in the receipt notice from TSC and TSC is currently processing Mid -August. So TSC is not even looking at her case and just sending you a standard reply. This is the same reply that I received on opening a service request at TSC, I had hopes that they would treat inquiry from Congressman's office with more due diligence.
All I need to know is what is holding her approval and if anything we can do to fix. I have got that" to wait 90 day' reply last year also. Let's see what they have to tell about the FP/Biometrics.
Problem is I can't even leave the country without the green card now that I am approved but god knows when I will get that...All my colleagues at work have got their physical cards for their entire family in mail and that's what hurting me about the inconsistency of the way they treat applications.
The Congressman's office were decent enough to reply:
I understand your point. Let�s see what TSC comes back with on my fingerprint question.
I am not sure if I can contact any other congressman, someone like BFrank I guess has more influence but he does not represent my county.
Yesterday, I sent mails to the President and Janet Napolitano....Futile of course...but I feel better that at least I did my part....
SoP

You are making an assumption that an approved petition is an indication of a valid status for the entire duration of extension. This may or may not be true after the I-140 is revoked.
That's why you have to be quick...Before your earlier employer revokes the petition...(that takes some time..) you got to get a new labor and a new approved I-140 and after that they cannot throw us out technically...
The whole thing is a mess..

How can we all become ILLEGAL....
1) Just resign your job, stay in the country for 2 days and u are illegal....
What other options do we have? Please explore them here
1. Goto queens NY and join a fish shop. Most of them dont want to be legal though :) as they have to pay tax!!
2. Go climb Statue of Liberty wearing a T-shirt "Gimme Z"

I think what this is saying is that "other workers" can only use 10,000 of the spillover, and the rest will be for general EB3. Not the other way around as you have interpreted.
However, I am not disputing the rest of your post. If the job is there and you can prove EB2 qualification, go for porting.
If only USCIS releases stats regarding the applications in various stages,we can make accurate predictions. It borders on silliness that a government organization in the super power cannot accurately count it's work load.
That will atleast set expectations to people who are waiting and help them to plan their lives accordingly.

As far as I know, starting a PERM application in itself does not amount to an intent to immigrate - it is simply a labor market test for a future position.Remember, the employer can port the LC to a different employee at a later date. I-140, however is an application to immigrate permanently to the US; hence a violation of the F1 visa. You may have a difficult time getting your I-485 approved or have to go in for consular processing. It is best you consult a lawyer on this one; don't count on random opinions on the forum for such a serious issue.
You are correct!

Please provide an update on the status of regulations regarding the following: AC21, CSPA, T regulations for adjustment of status, EB-5, and religious workers.
Response: The AC21 rule and the EB-5 Special Class rule are both undergoing revision and should be published in the near future.
I wonder what the AC21 rule revision is going to be?

Copsmart/Frostrated/anilkumar0902/Uma001/desitechie/Optimist/Other Guru's,
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can provide
Here is the current status:
- Consulted my lawyer and went thru all docs they submitted as part of my I140 package. On my last employer experience, found out that I had submitted only one affidavit from a co-worker and that would cover for less than 60 months of experience at my last my place.
- Came up with a list of some 30+ documents that include paystubs from US/India, W2/Form16's, letters submitted to CIS by previous company for new H1b back in 2003 and then for an extn in 2006, appreciation letters and other material on previous company letterhead. Discussed this with my lawyer
- Lawyer is of the opinion that we can prove our case of alternate evidence based on documents i am producing.
- Plan is to submit an affidavit from me that i was unable to get an exp. letter from my previous employer mentioning reasons on why its not possible, submit 2 affidavits from ex co-workers covering span of 63 months.
Based on your scenario or known people, can one of you respond to how should i approach following issues:
1) I am going to draft content for experience letter non-availability. I have mail trail from last 1 year following up on asking for details of $12K. Same mail mentions that am asking for experience letter and provident fund amount back from HR. Will it be a good idea to attach deputation letter mentioning 5 lac indian rupee to be paid for breach of terms and a 100 rupee bond paper contents which i signed before US deputation. Will it be Ok to mention that previous employer is asking for $12K settlement amount to provide experience letter and attach copies of bond and deputation note OR only mention that am unable to get experience letter and i have been following up with HR for last 1 year and attach email trail as evidence. Any pros and cons from CIS perspective on which approach to choose.
2) Any other documentation that needs to be submitted ? Supporting evidence alongwith company lawyer detailed letter, 2 affidavits from co-workers for skills and duration, self affidavit for experience letter not available will be -
> Paystubs from US/India, not for all 63 months but for some months in 2004/6/7/8.
> W2's for 2005/6/8.
> Form 16 for 2005-6/2007-8
> Offer letter, yearly appraisal letters, US deputation letters, appreciation letters, ID Cards, 3 Business cards showing change in designations.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions you can provide

What if you have to leave the job before 180 days, about after 150 days? When I say you have to that means there is no alternative. Employer-Employee issues. Quite a few folks here might be aware of it. But anyway, I read that USCIS will consider 180 days based on the I-485 'Received Date' and I-140 'Revoked date' will be the date USCIS act on the letter they receive from Employer requesting to revoke I-140 not the date employer will send letter to USCIS. I'm aware that there is no specific guidelines of which date USCIS will consider as 'Revoked date', but I heard USCIS mentioned verbally in many conference that they consider I-140 'Revoked date' as when USCIS act on the letter they receive from employer. Any thoughts?
There was a previous case where USCIS denied I-485 based on the cancellation of I-140 as per 'receipt date' of the request, and not on the date USCIS acted on it.
That case is posted in this forum and please take time to search and find it. I cannot do it for you.

Do not forget that the nurses / ph Therapist category swallows bunch of or all of EB3 visa numbers. This category is always current and they can make this EB3 to get stuck in April 22'01 for years.
Unfortunately most of the nurses also come from India I beleive. Some come south africa and phillipines. Do we have any data on this anywhere?
if 110,786 cases are due to retro...
then these cases are either (2nd China/India, 3rd, and other workers)??
considering 140,000 visa numbers available, and other catagories being current, only portions these retro cases will get visa numbers by this year..
no hope for PD advancement???

But I am very glad that this turned out be such a resounding success.

U bet - but your support from the behind was great :)

number of PERM approvals from 03/28/2005 - 10/1/2006 = 83,151
assuming 60% of those are for EB2 and EB3 (EB3 other workers are also included in the total 83151 count) = 49,890 ~ 50,000
50,000 = 39% of 128,000 unique labor certifications/primary applicants.
from my perspective this is very promising

Because of illegals granted amnesty any legal immigrant filing after Apil 30, 2001 faced longer waits and backlogs because they consumed the existing quota of immigrant visas. In essencem legals were penalized for obeying the law and standing in line.
Let's do a poll to see how many EB3IND folks will be willing to be a party to a class action lawsuit to provide relief. Obviosuly if the lawsuit prevails the plaintiff's pending GC applications will be approved. GCOP, mirage or anyone else- want to put up a poll (i don't know how to do it)
This might be a better option for many who cannot do a Writ of Mandamus lawsuit

Pearson memo soft copy is here (http://immigrationportal.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=16204&d=1177965983)
I sent mine and spouse's 485 receipt notices and both the I-140 approval notices. I sent only copies. You really need to find the correct PO Box number of TSC or NSC to send the documents. My attorney sent the letter to NSC general service PO Box and I do not think that it was correct. I am planning to send the same stuff again to 485 filing PO Box.
