It happens to me too. Anything too good has always followed by something bad and vice-versa. I am just talking about the pattern. When my LC got approved, my spouse was severly ill and diagnozed with severe un-curable heart condition and is under expensive & tedious treatments now. We have to confront life as it comes and avoid making any hasty decisions based on the situation. That's the main reason, I am desparately waiting for GC, so that we could get better treatments, which I cannot even imagine to get in India.
Anyhow, here is the letter I have drafted to Napolitino. However I would like to stress the point that USCIS has to approve the applications based on PD, but lost for words. (Thanks SoP for your idea of first few sentences in this letter)
*****************
Dear Secretary Napolitano:
I would like to bring to your attention that my Green Card process is unfairly getting delayed despite the fact that all checks and clearances were completed and my application was pre-adjudicated. Above all, visa number is available as well to approve my case.
I, <name>, have filed for I-485 to adjust to permanent resident status on August 17, 2007, based on employment (EB2). My priority date is July 2004 and is current and my case is beyond the stated processing time.
I took infopass appointments twice after our dates became current and raised Service Request 40 days ago. But no action has been taken in our case so far.
I am really frustrated about the long wait, considering the fact that all checks were done and our cases have been pre-adjudicated. My frustration is not only because of the long wait, but the applications with Priority Dates later than our ours like December 2004 and January 2005 were approved. I am not sure of the pattern followed by USCIS.
Senator's office is already following up with my case. But nothing seems to be moving.
Ms. Napolitano, your action is urgently needed to approve my case as I have been waiting for more than 5 years for the green card and I am afraid that visa number may become unavailable soon.
**********
I welcome anyone's suggestions to make the letter look more professional, catchy, touchy, etc.
SoP/any one, feel free to send me a private message.
Thanks.
There has been some requests for the letter format that I sent to Napolitano and Mr. President. I can't put them in the public domain but I'll be happy to send them if you give your personal email ids.
Yesterday was a very eventful day for me...in the afternoon my wife got approved and 12 hours later we had to call in emergency 911 to take her to the hospital as she was having such strong chills and violent shakings..we all got scared and we have a 2 and half month baby on top of that.....but with strong dose of antibiotics and drips she is better and back.....wow what a day and night.....
In any case I'll answer all your queries....I feel the option 4 is the best way to get to TSC...I have always used that....congressman's office has discretionary powers and you should use that.....use strong words it is your right......they are here to serve you unlike in India where they are there to get pocket your money....no pun for my motherland but unfortunately it is true....
Try a time frame of 4:30-5:30 EST to call the TSC or NSC for that matter...ppl are in a better mood at the end of the day and on thursdays and fridays.....ping your lawyer and ask him or her to intervene......if you know for sure your case is preadjudicated write it strongly in your mails to DHS and others.
I had in fact attached the previous year letters and their responses back to me in my last mail to Napolitano and it was really quite strong.....I am sure it is hard not to take a note of it......I don't mince words and I believe that one should fight for one's rights....
I have been associated with organizations like ASHA, AID and DISHA for long and that have taught me a lot too.............
Again your attitude should be "You have nothing to loose"...so make a best case for yourself and go for it...

Thats the right way. Probably I should not have told him that I have AP in my hands. This is what my attorney said. But now I have no idea if my h1 will be extended or not once I have used the AP.
I got my H1 extension...though I entered on AP. You should get it too.

Sunny and Rolling came out as selfish to the majority of the members because they just focused on their issues first and identified some of the root causes for their long wait.
I think we should all atleast encourage them in their pursuit for justice. We have nothing to lose. When a specific group works on an issue which is affecting them most they would do the best to get that fixed.
This would motivate other smaller groups with other issues to take up theirs seperately. The more this happens the more heat it will generate on these 3 agencies DOL, USCIS and DOS.
Then we as a bigger organization can work much faster on getting the bigger issues resolved which in turn will fix lots of these smaller things in the system.
These kind of initatives are a win win for everybody. Every small step would help us go move towards our goal instead of trying to take one gaint step and getting bogged down.
PS: Waiting for miracles is onething for people who trust in God
But acting on ones own issue can get them closer to that miracle

Notes:
If you already have applied in EB2 you won't be affected.
If you have a Masters you won't be affected.
I have a small doubt here. I'm still trying to understand this porting business. Why is that those who have already applied in EB2/Masters will not be affected?
If people with earlier PD port to EB2, it will make my processing longer, no? (IFF my PD is later than theirs')
I'm not for or against this action of yours, but just curious about your assertion. Please let me know.

For those of us who have become "current" with the latest VB movements, I have some discouraging news for you: at least for the Nebraska Processing Center, the current processing date for an employment-based I-485 has retrogressed from September to August,2006. Only a small step backwards but a step backwards all the same.

Thanks for your red dots... May I ask, what do mean by becoming eligible?
If they can file in Eb2 , shouldn't they stand in the end of line.
Reason most people filed in EB3 was that it was thought that their application will be subjected to less scrutny and had higher chances of success. Also, so far EB3 has been moving in tandem with Eb2, so it did not matter.
Dude. I am US educated & EB2....1st I didnt understand what u were calling people for.
Man this is the story of the Indian crab in real life. If someone becomes eligible to interfile as EB2...why should you be against it?
I am totally against ur proposal...and am giving u red dots ok.

I agree with what you are saying. But, we need to compare the taxes too. Not sure of the taxes charged by vonage when compared with teleblend.
even if the taxes are slightly more, vonage gives you 2 months free (save $50) and ships you adapter free, no shipping and activation with a referral. Your referrer gets 2 months free too. If you put this in to mathematics, vonage may come out cheaper than teleblend. Additonally its much more established and bigger VOIP provider.
However teleblend now offers unlimited US, Canada etc only for $99 for 1 year. This is unbeatable as it comes out roughly $8 per month. Good option to consider for those who do not need unlimited india plan.

I am surprised that all other threads are getting updated quite frequently. People are posting question related to their RFE and as usual once they get answer to their problems, they vanish. People are posting jokes on IV, but when it is their turn to call, we've to "bump" this thread and send e-mails to members. So pathetic.
I felt very sad when I read 30000+ members donated some 4000 dollars in last two months. I felt my donation of about 1000 dollars since 2006 is being wasted to answer questions of or to solve the problems of these free riders &/or one question members.

I'm at a total loss here. My dates became current in June and I was ready with all the paperwork - even filled all the forms myself. Company and their attorneys took their own time and sent the application out only today for Monday delivery... I kept on reminding them what USCIS did to EB-3 other workers.. but all for nothing....... they can just say 'oops sorry' and out lives are screwed!!!
If its mailed out today, then you are ok. Its the POSTMARKED date that is seen. So even if it reaches there in July, as long as it went OUT today, they will have to accept it under June's batch of applications coz it is postmarked in June (june 29).

This is really great news. Congratulations caliguy--I have been following your posts since Sept and know that you were quite active (read that perturbed) on your case.
One less thing to worry about in life.
You have been quite persistent in your efforts to get correct answer from IO.
In my case- when I reached IO using POJ- I was told that case has been predjudicated, and now assigned to IO. How do I get more info than this? Even I have multiple 140-so ,I too am bit worried about that part.

Sorry to hear that. Hope that will not effect your I-485 application processing.
For me, I have not seen any status change to my 140. After a series of LUDs to both 485 and 140 at last today I see my 485 status has changed. It says RFE sent. Good that I have not received any NOID or Denial. This is the best case scenario that I was hoping for. I have yet to receive the RFE to see the actual cause. But hoping this is due to 140 withdrawal. I thank the IO who is working on my case as he/she is quite knowledgeable and issued a RFE not NOID or denial.
So people please keep sending letters.
Folks,
I sent the letters and also invoked the AC21 through a lawyer a month ago. However, inspite of all this, I see a new update for my 140 petition today -
Application Type: I140, IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER
Current Status: Withdrawal Acknowledgment Notice Sent
On November 5, 2008, we mailed a notice acknowledging withdrawal of this application or petition I140 IMMIGRANT PETITION FOR ALIEN WORKER. If you have not received the notice within 30 days of November 5, 2008, contact our customer service at 1-800-375-5283. If at some point in the future you wish to pursue the benefits provided by this application or petition, you must file a new application along with all applicable fees and evidence.
I am not sure if this means that my 485 will be denied shortly...

Tell them you are a US worker as per the definitions laid out by the dept of Labor. Mntion that while you do have a H1B visa, which makes you a temporary worker not subject to the citizenship status discrimination prevention provisions, you are currently adjusting your status to a permanent resident and are availing yourself of the provision of I-765, thereby being a legal US worker as defined by the DOL and thereby would avail of the protection provded to you under the anti-discrimination provision of the Immigration and Nationality Act, 8 U.S.C. � 1324b.

See, that's the reason I think the lawsuit idea has issues. I suspect the lawsuit may end up making life difficult for a lot of genuine cases without actually achieving what you set out to achieve.
But I have no data one way or the other.
The question is how would you identify which jobs are genuine and which are not. In addition, the question the porting comes at I-485 stage.
So in other words there could very well be job out there and you won't know till its I-140 is approved if it is for porting reasons.
Also, a good/established company may most likely will not file a new labor and I-140 for a person because it an unncessary expenditure for them.
So guess who are the people who are most benefitted by this...

These 2 folks SunnySurya and Rolling_flood attacked me with RED points because i said the truth on the other thread of "Lawsuit for Porting/Interfiling". Though i least care if someone anonymous gives me Red points but i'm worried about them.....
This is what i wrote in that post which was attacked , what's wrong in it ... Try to digest the truth SunnySurya and Rolling_flood - you can't scare folks like by words of Lawsuit....
............
Lot of our case was exactly like that - i was eligible for EB2 when my Eb3 labor was filed. Employer took advantage of my compromising situation ( H was having 390 days juice left)
If Porting/Interfiling is taken off folks like me will be terribly victimized. I'm here for 9 years - my 1st labor was substituted , 2nd labor ( which should be Eb2 but filed in Eb3) took a round trip from Phily backlog elimination center and now i'm stuck in the Eb3-140 mess at NSC
..........
All,
Lets do another flower campaign to wish get well soon to SunnySurya and Rooling_flood. Get well soon Mamu...
