Thanks for the effort. Obviously it is not their interest to release the data, that's why we need to figure out a way to force them to discose such data. I think it's possible to get a court order to request such data.
It takes years and months to get a request fulfilled under FOIA. In this administration, run of the mill govt agencies have been given even more latitude in fulfilling FOIA requests -- forget about the DOS and its response to FOIA requests. Perhaps I didn't make myself clear -- even other agencies within the government who don't need FOIA are unable to make this happen. Do see the magnitude of the problem?
The only way to break the logjam is through political pressure.
Again, I'd say, please don't assume the IV people who have been working on these issues are naive or lack information. ;-)

thanks for the response. But is it normal, anyone else in similar situation?
Yes, I know a couple of people who got GC and but their spouses are still waiting after more than a year. It could be due to lack of information they check from various agencies, such as home address (particulary if spouse is not working)

went for infopass for correcting wife's DOB. Officer said it cannot be corrected here. After some protest, he took photocopies of birth certificate and passport and then sent e-mail to service center. Also, enquired about her EAD which is now pending for 110 days. Officer was not able to say why it is pending. just have to wait.
My wife went for her biometrics today and what a surprise, her date of birth on the system was wrong.
She only had DL on her and no passport. So, the ASC staff took her biometrics but refused to correct her DOB, claiming that passport was needed.
So, we called up USCIS and upon description of the problem,were immediately transferred to level 2. Level 2 looked at the cases and confirmed that DOB was wrong on I-485. It was correct in I-765 and I-131. She said that the only way to correct it was to take infopass and present passport and DL.
It is now more or less clear that DOB mismatch has caused her EAD to be stalled for so long.I have already got my EAD.
Moral of the story : take passport for FP, infopass, etc. all the time.
Our EADs and APs were filed separately with I-485 courier receipt. What a mess !!
lets see what happens at infopass.

So hypothetically:
person has approved 140 from comp-A but moves to comp-B
A revokes the H-visa and 140.
The person can still extend for 3 years, through B using the approved 140 (from A).
This can continue till the day the persons PD becomes current?
It makes sence because once the 140 is approved and 485 is not yet applied for, there is essentially "no application pending" for this person on which they can issue and RFE, right?
However, when he tries to extend using the older (comp-A) 140, cant the CIS issue and RFE for evidence from comp A that they still intend to hire this person in future??
If the company cancels the I-140, that means the company is not supporting your GC, plain and simple. I-140 should be in good standing and approvable for extending the H1b status.

You need to trust your company lawyer. Apprise him of the entire situation and he will guide you on how to proceed. In my opinion, until you get a RFE, you wont have to do anything.

receiving RFE during 485 stage has become more of a common thing. Dont worry about it. Once you get the letter, prepare a response with the right evidence with the help of the attorney, and you should be fine.

Situation: approved I-140 (EB-2), getting close to 5th year of H1B.
questions:
1. if i change employers, can I use my priority date even though my employer has not given me a copy of the filed/approved I-140? If i can, what if the old employer cancels the i-140: can I still use the PD from the approved 140?
2. if i start a new gc process with a new company, what stage of my GC should i be in so that my h1 can be extended beyond the 6th year? should the perm be filed or should the 140 be filed before the beginning of 5th year?
3. once h1 is extended beyond the 6th year for say 3 years, can I transfer my h1 to a new employer?
thanks.
learner
I'm not attorney but I'm suggesting based on my experience .I know answers as Ive gone through this recently...
1. Yes , Your PD for approved 140 is your possession. You can port it in your future 485 process of GC with your future employer even if your old employer revokes it.
2. You can get three year extension to your new H1 transfer with your current approved 140 of old employer.
3. Yes, You can.
Please let me know if you have any concerns.

I see people not supporting the CIR which was suppose to be a pro Immigration bill, no matter which part of the society it was supporting. My question is Are you guys out here a Pro or an anti immigration forum?
Or are you guys out here are to fulfill their selfish dreams, stand on others to reach the top.
Can anyone answer me? I really doubt the people out here.
Read the mission statement. FYI... We are not trying to stand on other to reach the top but, we do not let others stand on us to get to the top. I dont think you understand the subtle difference here. CIR is PRO ILLEGAL IMMIGRATION bill and has nothing to offer Legal EB immigrants.

I have been reading all the posts and been contributing modestly and been suffering for a long time because of retrogression. In my humble opinion what ever we do if it needs to succeed we definitely need to *distinguish* ourselves from illegal aliens and other professions and prove that us staying here is in best interest of the US. Not to discourage anybody but CIR is a big task and I don't think politicians are really ready to solve this problem because of its magnitude and huge implications it is going to have for deciding to go one way or another. Probably retrogression would have been solvable with relative difficulty if it is not for the timing of CIR.
and somebody mentioned that allowing to file for 485 with out need for waiting for visa numbers may actually increase the retrogression because of some of the privisions for illegal aliens..I am not totally sure on this but if it is true it just makes all the more important that we need to establish seperate category for high skilled workers.
I think SKIL bill would be one way to go and another would be to actually lower the limit of investment category visa..I know the second one seems like a long shot because currently it requires $500K in rural areas and generally one million but hear me out
If we could lower that limit to $100 k and make it investment in any US based companies in addition to having certain years of work experience in the US. We can argue that we are actually contributing to economy in more than one way and us being here helps generate more jobs in the US and it definitely makes different from others.
I know preapproved labors were being sold at >$25k at one point and if people knew that there wouldn't be any problems with that then a lot of us would have shed that money for a guaranteed GC so if 100k over a period of time would guarantee a GC and that 100k is still going to be with us after certain amount of time then may be it is not that bad idea....
I am glad some one else also agrees with my thoughts..Let us continue this discussion on old thread..

Hi,
My company gave ma a substitution labor and it is having a problem in term of degree.
My I-485 is also pending based on that I-140.
1. Is it possible to apply new labor and I-140 in premium processing and use that new I-140 for previously applied I-485?
2. In substitution labor that person was having 4 years of Bachelor degree and I have 3 years of bachelor degree, lawyer said there is a chance for get approval for I-140 based on substitution labor.
Please advice.

Now that the immigration reform for undocumented workers has broken down, is there any way that we can lobby congress to turn their attention to the plight of the skilled worker? The mess created by DOS will result in the worse backlog ever and the longest wait for post June filers. Congress can at least take steps to resolve this by raising the cap for the employment based visas and making it possible for unused visas in previous years to roll over. I also hope that USCIS will increase the human resource base with their higher fees to accomodate the flurry of applications flying in now. How do we get congress to pay attention? Please let discuss this and act.
we can hope for the best and keep on lobbying for our cause of EB retrogresstion. But to be honest i dont think there will be a law change to help us since CIR is dead.
The so called victory against USCIS was possible only because they made the july visa bulletin current due to miscommunication between uscis and dos. USCIS tried to stop the flood of I-485 but later on they reversed their decision and started accepting apps until agu17. SO WE ARE ABLE TO FILE BECAUSE OF THIS MISCOMMUNICATION NOT BECAUSE OF LOBBYING CONGRESS TO CHANGE RULE.
Assume no miscommunication between USCIS and DOS then no july fiasco and no flood of apps.
I think we have a looooooooooong road ahead to get our GC......
