    Dear Sir/Madam,


    Sub: Statistics on Employment Based AOS(Adjustment of Status) applications pending at USCIS under various categories


    I am writing to you to express my sense of helplessness over the unpredictability of Visa Number allotment to various employment based category. I want to bring to your attention that it�s been nearly a �Decade� since we saw any meaningful Visa Date movement from year 2001 for EB-3 Green Card applicants from India.

    It is important to know that despite of severe visa retrogression and random visa cutoff date movements, USICIS or DOS hasn�t released any official information on how many Adjustment of Status applications are pending at USCIS under various categories which leaves thousands of AOS(Adjustment of Status) applicants in complete darkness and dependent on guessing games by various Law firms.

    A green card application requires enormous amount of efforts and money from the beneficiary and his/her employer. People who are waiting for 7-8 years now would have had already spent average $15,000-$20,000, in maintaining their statuses and keep the Green Card process going on. Being stuck in a green card process keeps us bonded with 1 employer, job type etc.
    We need to know if there is any light at the end of the tunnel. We need to know for how long we have to live our life in limbo. If there is hope than we need to be patient and plan to live like that for another 1-2 years. But if there�s no light at the end of the tunnel than we need to move on with our careers and other family commitments. Only your office and USCIS can help us by releasing statistics on the number and categories of applications pending with USCIS people waiting in this category can plan their lives accordingly.

    It will be a great help if DOS or USCIS could tell us about the number of AOS application pending at USCIS along with their Categories(EB-3, EB-2, EB-1) and chargeable country.
    We have been waiting for a decade and continue to wait would it be reasonable to request you for some guidance with regards to the Visa allotment. I request your office to provide some statistics on home many Adjustment of Status applications are pending at USCIS.



    We understand that you work with in the limits of the law as set by the Congress and are limited by various constraints that are beyond your agency realm of work. We appreciate your hard work and sincerely thank you for all the hard work.


    God Bless America!

    Thank you for you attention,

    there were 144,000 PERM's done between oct 2006- march 2007

    india, china have retro for both EB2 and EB3
    mexico, philippines and bunch of other countries have retro for EB3

    PERM is only for the Primary applicant. For I-485 every dependent of Primary applicant needs one separate application

    Considering all these 750,000 I-485 filings in next 1 month sounds a reasonable estimate.

    Many who had labor pending under the old system, applied in PERM also. So it is 144k minus duplicates. But, I have no idea know many are duplicates

    If the current law passes , god forbid it wont. It is indeed scary to many : Becoz its primarily becoz of all backlog processing centre Labors, H1 sixth year extensions etc. I dont know how the heck designed this draft and i am sure all those senators wouldnt havebeen aware of all these H1B , GC Employment based numbers some staffer would have done this .

    From what I understand many 485 applications(not all)received in accordance to the June bulletin MAY have been preassigned a visa number(from the leftover 60,000 visas) NOT an approval.


    source of this information?

    Although they are not supposed to pre assign numbers without name checks etc, is'nt it obvious that they might have done that??. They have a lot of cases to approve until Sept 30(from that 60,000 number)

    no its not obvious. They have a big backlog of 485s still, and that 60,000 visa numbers can be used up without them having to assign some of those numbers to June 07 filers. See the ombudsmans report for details. If anything, they'll keep some of those visa numbers for people who have been in namecheck long enough, and are expected to get out soon.

    there are too many people in teh system already!

    Great! Someone should give you an award for motivation

    For your information, i have contributed to IV monetarily. It just does not show up on the handle for some reason i do not know.

    So you are looking for motivation? Your post do not indicate that you are looking for motivation. There are those who are undecided or who cannot find enough energy/motivation to do something, and those people need motivation. You don't fall in that category. You are pretty much convinced that you don't belong here. Now you are just spoiling the environment to make sure that others all leave looking at you and mad-dog bickering. And one need not be a rocket scientist to figure that out. Its obvious. There goes your flag for "award for motivation". What's next, you need a shoulder to cry?

    I have reiterated this again and again. There is no way USCIS was going to accommodate all of us as per the original VB. We will form the biggest hump on the back of USCIS and it will probably 20 yrs for every one to come out of the system. Remember, how much math we did on how many years EB2 India /Eb3 india/china will take? Thats what they see as well. Why would they want so many applications backlogged. The only way they can disallow filings is by saying that there are no visa numbers available on day one. You have to have a visa number available at the time of 485 filing. They cleared out all the old PD's. Believe me, If the original bulletin was not current, they would have done the same in 90 days with some numbers gone waste. It was a bad situation for both agencies. I am not saying that they have not goofed up. they goofed up big time and I can clearly see the lack of communication on issue like this which effects so many people. We can use this as an opportunity to show case our root cause or we can use this in a detrimental way that will screw our nuts and bolts for 10 more years.
    I understand wht you mean...
    Our root cause (which cuases depays in getting GCs) is the USCIS is not efficient have process breakdowns and needs streamlining.....
    This press release substantiates that and hopefully IV and AILA will be able to use that in a positive way. However, apart from a law suit I do not think anything will get USCIS/DOS/Congresses attention.

    I am sure after this news, there will be questions asked by DHS (Chertoff) of the uSCIS.

    Just did some stats on , did only for texas service center

    It appears that Notice Date is immaterial. As long as your PD is current.
    So, you dont need to worry, if your notice date is Oct 2007 and TX processing date still shows July 17th. They are approving the cases as long as your PD is current in PD order which makes sense.

    I see a case with Nov 12 2007 ND and PD of dec 2002 is approved.

    Dont expect any LUD's either, Only suprise email matters....welcome to america, card production ordered.....:D

    Agree. Truthinspector is simply expressing his opinion and if one doesn't agree, just put your side of the arguments to counter his but their is no need for character assassination. It's perfectly fine to disagree with someone but there are better ways of letting him/her know that.

    truthinspector: may be it's time to invoke "freedom of speech" clause. ;) .. just kidding.


    for all of you sharpening the knives to get truthinspector, let me start by saying that he/she has only mentioned their opinion and/or facts. they may not have been presented in a politically correct manner.

    truthinspector never mentioned that the US has NO NEGATIVES........... purely stated why India is still not and (I am not sure about the 500 years - seems like an arbitrary number) will not in the near future, be a developed country and presented his/her reasons for the hypothesis..........

    this forum is better served if you can show how and why truthinspector's list is incorrect instead of talking about self-confidence, self-esteem and all the other intangibles that you have no way of gauging without actually knowing truthinspector as a person.........

    you are the one indulging in personal attacks, while truthinspector is only stating opinion and/or facts....

    the truth always hurts. some more so than the others........

    But why should we lose the PD that we've been hanging on to for so long. For all we know, they might retrogress EB2 next - with USCIS, there's no room to take chances. I'm on my 10th yr here and don't want anything to go wrong at this point.

    Have you given a thought or spoken to a lawyer about starting EB2 PERM when your EB3 140 is pending? After your EB2 PERM is approved, you have 6 months before interfiling your EB2 140 with your EB3 PD. I think that is long enough for your EB3 140 too be approved.

    AFAIK, this can be done with little or no risk to your EB3.

    Is the min contribution required, $25 per month or $25 for 12 months?

    Pappu,

    I have a suggestion! I don't think forcing monthly $25 contribution to keep donor status alive is a very good idea, especially in current economy. Take an example of myself. It is decided that I am going to loose job on 17th March, may not be able to contribute every month.

    Rethink!

    Is your case at NSC? I have definitely noticed a pattern of pre-adjudcation activity from NSC for cases filed in July-August 2007.

    My application is filed with Texas Service Centre.

    How come observations made over years on 100's to 1000's of students are "unsubstantiated"? Of course you may want not to believe me; that is your prerogative, and so is writing my own experience mine.

    raysaikat - You must be kidding by trying to prove that you have taught 1000s of Anna/Osmania University students & number of them are bad as you described. You started in 100s & are now talking about thousands and I am sure if this argument continues you would go to even higher numbers just for the heck of proving your point. After all, its a matter of pressing few keys on your keyboard....but what credibility does it has when there is no way to validate??

    May be, as "NKR" pointed out, you have some bad impression about the Univs in certain region of India - looking at the list you provided!! Otherwise - Anna university is considered to be a top rated institute in south india esp., TN state. Osmania is also a very decent one (esp in Engg/comp sc). Both these universities are very famous for their ability to attract a lot of recruiters (All top indian companies + many MNCs as well). And here on this board, you just rule those out with a single word - Crappy!!

    Don't just generalize things as you want based on the data that comes to your mind. By doing so, you are not only slinging mud at some decent univs but are also hurting a lot of people!!

    Effective date is next fiscal year or the one following it. If you read both the sections it cleary says that.
    (Read the word approved and an "or" preceding it).

    or approved at the time of the effective date of this section, shall be treated as if such provision remained effective and an approved petition may serve as the basis for issuance of an immigrant visa.


    In my opinion this clearly means that if you have an approved I-140 before the effective date you should be ok. All pending I-140 on the effective date which is 15 months away are most likely have to refile. That leads to two scenarios:
    1. Approved I-140 with a pending I-485, these petitions will be elegible for immigrant visa whenever one is avialable, this is very clearly mentioned.
    2. Approved I-140 without I-485. No clear indication of how these cases will be treaed. They MIGHT have to refile as well.


    ============
    (d) EFFECTIVE DATE.—
    32
    33 (1) IN GENERAL.—Subject to paragraph (2), the amendments
    34 made by this section shall take effect on the first day of the
    35 fiscal year subsequent to the fiscal year of enactment, unless
    36 such date is less than 270 days after the date of enactment, in
    37 which case the amendments shall take effect on the first day of
    38 the following fiscal year.
    39
    40 (2) PENDING AND APPROVED PETITIONS AND APPLICATIONS.—Petitions
    41 for an employment-based visa filed for classification under
    42 section 203(b)(1), (2), or (3) of the Immigration and Nationality
    43 Act (as such provisions existed prior to the enactment of this
    44 section) that were filed prior to the date of the introduction of
    265
    1 the [Insert title of Act] and were pending or approved at the
    2 time of the effective date of this section, shall be treated as if
    3 such provision remained effective and an approved petition may
    4 serve as the basis for issuance of an immigrant visa. Aliens with
    5 applications for a labor certification pursuant to section
    6 212(a)(5)(A) of the Immigration and Nationality Act shall
    7 preserve the immigrant visa priority date accorded by the date
    8 of filing of such labor certification application.
    9

    The original word is "enactment date", which would be the date the bill is signed into law. The effective date will be oct, 2008.

    So people who didn't get their 140 through before the president signs the bill would be screwed?

    I did that earlier ( banging on CM's door) in May 08 after my 140 was pending for 1 year... They said unless this is a emergency , they cant help at that point - however they helped me to get my H extension approval ( which was also pending for 5 months :( that time and I could have been out of status in another 3 months)

    This time i'm waiting for 17 months and the wall street financial crisis arrived. So i wrote to my Local Congressman and state Democrat Senator stating that " I could lose my job and even if there is a job available in the same state - i might have to relocate with my family or sit unemployed... However if 140 would have been approved On time - i could switch to another job quickly because no one is available or qualified to do that"

    I also mentioned them the issue of NSC approving cases from June - Nov 07 and some as late as 2008 in the Eb3 category and only Apr-May 07 cases are somehow shelved off ....

    here4gc- What was you Eb category and when did USCIS received your 140 and which center Nebraska or Texas ??

    Guys..I just recieved my I-140 approval..last week..shocked, surprised..but trust me..this works..hope some people remember about a similar campaign I had initiated a while back..I sent letters to Zoe Lofgren, Ombudsman, USCIS director and Ted Kennedy..apart from contacting my local congressman...

    Goodluck guys!!! I sincerely wish everybody speedy approvals!!!!!!
