PD is not lost if you crossed I-140 stage (got an approval) on the older application.
... and if you have a copy of that beautiful I-140.

I've been reading some great human interest stories in various threads here on ImmigrationVoice.org. I know that there was some interest earlier in creating short videos on people who've been waiting forever for their green cards. Why not channelize this into a single place where we can gather these stories in a more compelling format?
Here's an idea that I've been toying with for sometime. If we can take all these stories from all over the country and instead of using words to describe them, use small videos (60 - 90s) or a narrated slideshow to tell these stories and have them available via a single website. We would use YouTube to actually hold the video. We could have it sliced by region/state/city. We could have a running counter to show the average number of years people registered on the site have been wating for their green card. That could be a great place to refer to the media to portray that there are some really great people out there with a compelling reason to live in this country but the green card process is a big stumbling block.
The most important part is that the stories need to be positive, not sob stories. They should bristle with energy, to convey to the people and media at large that by wasting the energy of all these people in green card process, the US is essentially not able to channelize this for more productive use. If people are interested then please email me at vikas.chowdhry@gmail.com and if there is sufficient positive response then I can get the ball rolling.

Perhaps we should try to lobby Cantwell (as she seems sympathetic) to increase the number of EB green cards to clear the backlog, if the CIR comes back.
Just a thought.

Based on the labor approvals, I am expecting EB2 will touch 2007 in the next 3 to 5 visa bulletins.
I know you have been correct in the past but I think we have just gotten over the hump of 2003 and a small portion of 2004 for EB2. The majority of 2004 and early 2005 still remains. There was a huge jump in March 2005 to beat PERM. I dont understand how it will reach 2007

Actually category 2 is not one category. Whatever IV has done in the past is past. We want to know what IV will do in the future with the money collected. And we want to know before we give the money, not after.
Simple e.g. I like Target as a store. That doesn't mean I give Target money and let them give me whatever they want for that money. I want to know before hand what my money is getting me.
Are there any immigration bills that IV supports? What are they? What is IV going to do to get them through? What does IV expect from the lobbyist? Other than the FOIA thing, is there anything else IV is collecting money for? I don't want to see IVs tax statements. I just want a quarterly report of what IV did with the money it collected and what IV will do with the money it collects in the future. A simple 5 line explanation is enough. It has to be something concrete though. "IV will improve the EB immigration process" is not enough. E.g. "IV will contact all senators in support of XYZ". "IV will make sure there is constant media attention to our problem" etc.
So, just because your website ad was deleted from your signature, all of a sudden u have a problem with IV. I started of searching for answers for your questions within the forum and on this website. But then I deleted the information I gathered because I no longer want to spoon feed people like you. In fact I want to make your life more difficult in whatever manner I can. That will create an incentive for you to pick your sorry a$$ from that couch and do something about your issue. Life has been too easy for you. And now you are in habbit of spoon feeding. I have outsourced my job of making your life difficult to Durbin and Grassley. They will see u in hell, because that's where they are going, with you. No reply to any question from you, you soup nazi, NEXT :p

What regulatory or legislative changes (including a possible pre-application filing procedure for adjustment cases) are recommended to facilitate caseload planning and make optimum use of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudication capacity?
By the way, we will have minimum participation for this as most of guys/gals in this forum are on EAD(you will know this when you see amount of questions answered for someone EAD and all H1B related questions are usually buried under within an hour or so)...
Indeed it seems very few people are interested as most member may have their 485 submitted already. EB immigrants are a small minority of this country, yet we are only a small portion of this small minority. It is a sad fact, but it should not stop us from fighting..

Prince charming - I invoked AC21 sometime back after 180 days of filing 485 and moved to a new job on EAD.
My ex employer revoked 140. At this point of time I did a lot of research and found out the following things
(1) AC21 letter never reaches your file - there is no system in place for AC21 letter. G 28 gets into the system because there is a process in place for G 28
AC21 is a law that allows you to change jobs but there is no system in place.
(2) AC21 letter must be provided upon request - different officers want differtent information so they generally issue a NOID and ask you to submit evidence in 30 days. USCIS in some cases sends out straight denials. The denial letter generally has information to file MTR within 30 days if the case needs to be reopened due to USCIS error.
In August when my case was being processed, they sent me a NOID but sent my wife Fp notice - I called customer service and was advised that she can go for FP as usual but I have to respond to NOID before they move forward with my case and I promptly responded with AC21 and my case status changed to "Case reopened, response received" and there were soft LUDs hitting my 485.
Keep all documentation ready and be proactive, you can hire a good lawyer from MTR, remember that when you file for MTR, you cannot work - so before you inform your employer, get a letter from them and then inform them - in case employers will be reluctant to give any documentation if they know you cannot work for sometime. If you are on h1b you dont have to worry.
MTR approvals can take 3 to 5 weeks or more too.
if not on h1b you start accruing unlawful status and usually lawyers suggest that you stay till less than 180 days when your MTR is filed - it never takes 180 days for a decision on MTR so dont worry about unlawful status.
These are hidden risks in AC21 but good news is that AC21 cases have always been successful.
You may have to go through this period of uncertainity.
Good luck.

excuse my unfamiliarity with the process..
but if I applied for I485 in July, and 485 applications they receive exceeds the visa numbers available for July, what happens? Do they draw lottery to see which 485 apps would be cosidered?
in other words, just making sure the app reaches USCIS in july first wekk, does it guarantee EAD for spouses?
I have the same question - Do dependent spouses get EAD even if dates retrogress after applying for I-485?

Consider my case:
Myself: MS In Electrical Engineering - Been on a H1-B sponsored job with Fortune 100 companies for the last 6 years.
Spouse: MD Medicine - Initially on H4 for 2 years, now on a H1-B sponsored residency with a prominent healthcare institution.
I fully agree, H4s should prove their worth, and that is why I never ever let the feeling settle in my spouse's mind, that, that GC was going to just drop from the sky one day for her...
In short, both of us have proved their worth and are on H1s.
Here's where the unfairness of the H4 system kicks in for us. The time spent on the H4 is counted towards the initial 6 year period. By the time she would be done with her residency, she would have exhausted most of that 6 year time. LC cannot be filed for resident doctors, while they are residents.
Result: When she becomes a doctor, her time has run out - technically she needs to be out of USA for 1 year, before considering a re-entry (unfair by all means).
Only solution to this problem:
1. Either the laws change to decouple H4 time with H1 (which I think, is the biggest unfairness of the H4 visa, especially due to the retrogression wait times)
2. I get to file I-485, which I currently cannot because of retrogression. I have an approved LC & I-140 with a PD of early 06. If retrogression gets worse, who knows, even EB2 could retorgress to more than 3 years...
