It is one way to reduce the budget deficit, each of us will be burning away $700- every year per head for AP + EAD renewal with close to a million applicants go do the maths.
And AP/EAD renewal cannot start before 120 days so that time period every year for at least 3 years they are gonna laugh their guts out.
And we thought we achieved a big feat with the July fiasco ......
USCIS had given one week time to file for I-485 and then closed it. Later after the flower campaign they opened it up for a month. I mean to say, They had opened a small opening for us to get in. Now its our chance of how to get the opening bigger. We were successful by doing a flower campaign. We got to do more. The slot should be made more and more wider and should lead us to green card.
"Give the camel an inch he will ask for a .........."

I filed I-140 on July 5, and was hoping to get the receipt by this week because as per the press release ( dated 7/13), NSC was supposed to be time complaint with regards to I-140 receipt date by 7/18/2007. But they again changed to 8/1/2007. You never know they will NOT change it again!

Thank you for the clarification.
The fact that you have come here to share your experience and give some insight tells us that you probably care (about Fragomen and its clients). Please stick around, and update your details on IV.
Thanks.
Fragomen employees are told they represent the company. The company is their client. They are a corporate law firm. There are instances when the law firm represents you, the foreign national. Usually this is when you are applying via a marriage based case, or are in the final green card process and it has reached portability. There is information that law firms cannot release to you as some information requested belongs to the client, and they must receive authorization from the client. Yes, I used to work for Fragomen, before anyone wants to assume anything. I was a paralegal and worked hard for every case that was given into my hands. I specialized in the green card process and made sure I responded to every foreign national as quickly as I can. Please understand that paralegals and legal assistants are subject to the attorneys they work for. Therefore, some questions you may ask require an attorney to respond, and the paralegal or legal assistant's delay may be in trying to get the answer you require. I know not all Fragomen offices work the same. Not all will respond to you in the same manner. Some may be worse than others. So if you are going to defame Fragomen, would you please try to specify which office you are referring to?
I have read through all the posts on this thread and I know some of you have positive experiences, while others have had very negative experiences. To those of you who have had negative experiences, I am sorry that your case went to someone who only looked at their work as a job. For me, each one of my foreign nationals were special cases, each required as much care and concern that I could give them. None of my cases were ever denied. I wish you all the best in this process. I know it is a long and, many times, frustrating process, especially with countless delays due to either the law firm, your company, or the government.
And for the person who had asked about the prevailing wage, it comes from the state employment department, not the federal government. Some offices work faster than others. When a prevailing wage comes back higher than what you are making, the law firm then has to go back to the employer to find a resolution, which can mean either an increase in the salary once you have received the green card, or confirmation that is what you will be making at that time, or a reduction in the requirements, which can sometimes take a case from EB2 to the EB3 visa category.

I agree with concept of sending ac21 letter but there are similar experiences that this letter is ofcourse of hardly any consideration.
AC21 is a law, if erraneously denied it should be opened by MTR...as ppl have underlined , it doesnt matter whether a person used EAD or H1B. This whole discussion is triggered by employer revoking 140 not becoz USCIS is denying due to I129. Its all in the IO if hez not aware of AC21 thats our trouble begines. :( but i have not heard of any failure of AC21 MTR so far ...
prince_charming, you had mentioned that you had done H1 transfer with AC21.
I think it was mentioned in one of the posts in Murthy site that such a situation could lead to denial of I-485 as it would constitute abandonment of AOS application. One should use EAD after filling AC21.

Frankly speaking, i am not a sufferer from BEC, but i want to know more about this mess.
Does the FIFO means, they process the applications in FIFO order, Does it mean that they approve also in the FIFO order? I think both processing and approving are different. Whoever got the case with less complications, will first get the approval and whose case got more complications, takes more time. Is it correct? I may be wrong. I think thats the reason why 2004 PDs may come out BEC fast sometimes as they put the case strongly and clearly.
Don't shout at me, i may be wrong.
My case was filed in 2002 under traditional labor certification. DOL never questioned anything or asked for any clarifications (so I assume there were no complications). The job was advertised in last April (it was a little newspaper advertisement with few lines and very generic job requirements). There were no resumes received. But still I have not received my labor approval. So what baffles me most is why has the DOL been not able to taken any decision on my case even after 5 years. One of my friends who applied in traditional labor two years after me has already received his LC. Let us say, for argument sake, the case was complicated. How complicated can it be to be delayed by several years, not months? We probably would get answers to these questions only if we drag the DOL to court and make them explain.

Thanks, Andy. So, 80K LCs a year, 10%-15% of them will probably never get to AOS stage, 20% of those were duplicates (for people with petitions stuck in the backlog centers), so we are talking about 50-55K new labor certificates each year that will result in I-485. This is very consistent with 85K new capped H1Bs plus whatever number of exempt (non-profit research) H1Bs every year. So, we are talking about 100-110K total AOS applications (with dependents). Now lets take 140,000 EBs, substract Schedule A and EB1 (no need for LC), and there is probably 10K extra EB visas should be left over each year (quota less new potential EB petitions). Those are probably going to land in EB3 ROW. That means the retrogression will become less severe. What we are experiencing right now, is the rabbit that moves through the snake - the EB petitions resulting from a higher H1 cap several years ago.

But Why do you feel the bill would not pass.
If they had used up enough visas...why does it have to be still in Nov 2001.This is insane.Total Insane prediction.
We should not read these type of predictions.
lets be positive.we have to beleive if thats in IV only.

I finally got the letters and the root cause of my I485 denial. My previous employer informed that they used my approved I140 for another employee. As many of you might know this I140 substitution practice was a loophole until June 2007. These days companies can not do this any more.
So probably when my I485 came up for adjudication, there was no I140 since it had been used and hence they denied it. Now, I changed jobs per AC21 rules--yeah the famous rule that USCIS ignores. I am waiting on my current attorneys to file an MTR as soon as possible.
Question to forum members:
1. Are there folks in EXACTLY similar situation?
2. If yes, after filing MTR and it getting accepted, what are next steps since one definitely needs a approved I140?
3. Further to #2 above, does one need to file another I140 and port the previous date? I am sure this would take longer time than the current H1b that I hold until June 2009.
4. Can any one share lawyer name and contact info who might have favorably helped a forum member so that I can contact the person and get a second opinion to discuss legal strategies that might be available.
Best-

Swami : appreciate your effort ...but your post is , i am afraid , illogical.
"Once again, dont expect people to be courteous and receptive to courtesy overnight."
Why ?? because IV is busy fixing this mess for you??. I appreciate and value all that IV is doing but, 'Courtsey' is a basic expectation. IV, I am afraid, will NEVER earn the right to say " dont expect people to be courteous and receptive ". no successful entity will ever EARN that, leave alone a grassroots support seeking movement.
I assume you are not speaking for IV core and move on, we all have tasks to do .
good luck

I called Kennedy and Cornyn. Asked them if they are aware of the issue. They are not. Did you call? Kennedy 202 224 4543, Cornyn 202 224 2934. I also aksed if Kennedy is going to send letters to two agencies as Rep Lofgren did as he is the senate immigration sub committe chair
This is what makes sense for now...calling senators/congressmen.
Everyone, please try calling these numbers instead of USCIS customer service.
