Question is that there are so many July 2 filers (including me) who have not got any response yet. Therefore, it is not an isolated case. I don't know if emailing to the Director does any good, as long as USCIS keeps admitting that they have not yet sent all receipts (inspite of weekly bulletins). Until 90 days are over, I guess, USCIS will be unresponsive to individual inquiries.

I remember 11 years ago calls to India were 75 cents per minute.
Now they are 1 cents a minute if you use Airtel.
This Vonage offer is truly revolutionary for international calling to the 60 countries listed. I suspect soon other VOP services in USA will start providing free calls to India once they see customers switching over to Vonage. This should include VOIP service providers that also provide internet and cable services. If they do not catch up, cable companies will lose customers in the phone sector. If ooma: Free home phone service. Call anywhere in the US with no monthly fees. (http://www.ooma.com/) , MagicJack or Skype provides this, it will be much for cost effective to customers.
Such services will help bridge the communication gap between immigrants in USA and their home countries. It will feel like making a local call to family and friends anywhere in the world.

Right now checked my bank account and all 6 checks (for me and wife) cashed. All receipt numbers are at the back of the check. AsI was expecting the package was transferred to Texas.
All receipt numbers start with SRC******
This is the happiest day since July 17 for us....
I am very very hopeful that you guys will get it. Check your bacnk too today.
Do you think USCIS came to know about your "List compilation" activity and hence your receipt......I think I should take over list compilation now :p

First let me state that I need people like you to proceed and hence I will be happy to answer the points you rasied to the best of my ability:
We all agree that there is severe backlog. Only way the backlog will alleviate is by increasing visa numbers, which not going to happen any time sooner.
So some people (and I know around 10 of them) what they are doing is the following:
They got the chance to file their 485 last July , which is pending. They are now contacting several small desi consulting firms to file for their fresh labor in EB2 category. Once their labor is filled and new I-140 is approved, they plan to attach new I-140 to the original 485 and hence effectively convering to Eb2 category but with priority dates in 2002 and 2003 (because original I-140 had that priority). Worst, they would never join that desi consulting firm...
This how the system is being gamed. If I know 10 such cases, I am sure there must be thousand like that.Now you tell me , isn't that unfair to the people already in Eb2 line as well as the ones who do not know how to game the system
By the way: If any one is interested, I know of three such consulting firms that can do for you for a fee.
Sunnysurya,
I am not arguing or obstinately stating my view. I am genuinely confused.
I am not sure how it is unfair on EB2. Didn't these folks apply for GC before us legally and stand in line sincerely (no labor subs) AND gather pertinent work exp and education?
I understand you are working on getting the numbers. I would wait to hear from you with those numbers.
It is one thing to feel wronged seeing a few examples of people abusing the porting but quite another to have a lawsuit alleging that this is a widespread activity and it is causing grievous delays for the ones waiting in EB2. I really don't believe it and feel it is insulting to a large majority of highly skilled and hard working immigrants who have/will legally port their EB3 PDs to EB2.
Regards.

Just talked to a recruiter from a software giant.
She specifically wanted to know if I was on EAD and if yes, unfortunately they cannot hire EADs during the fourth quarter (now) due to hiring budget limitations that are typical during the fourth quarter.
Q: Why does budget come in to picture here?
A: Because policy requires the legal dept to be consulted for visa holders and EADs which means additional hiring costs plus time.
But she said once the fourth quarter passes, EAD hiring is not a problem.
Folks, we should not remain quiet about this. The regulations make it illegal for an employer to discriminate based on immigration status. We should politely and respectfully pursue the authorities regarding this matter.
I would encourage you to point out the USDOJ guidelines (posted earlier) to the "software giant" employer and also contact the OSC worker hotline.
Also, would it be wise for people to post name of the company who are known to have such policies? We got one - CapitalOne from earlier posts.

I agree with focusing on the Logfren bills, but the flower campaign might not work. Last year it was a combination of pressure on the lawmakers, USCIS and DOS by IV, AILA and a other groups. the flower campaign highlighted the issue to the public and gave us wide exposure...last years fiasco did not require a law change. In our case the clear cut issue is to make recapture happen. The only why for it to happen is by pressuring the lawmakers to take a yes or no decision.
I think we should all request our employers to call the lawmakers, individual calls will help but we need to take it to the next level as the window is very short.
Ok it too late for the letters..we need to focus on the HR bills by Resp Sen Lofgren..we have a narrow window here.. and bi partisan support..we can send her flowers and request the Senator to take this up seriously..also we can send the flowers to the co-sponsors..at thier local offices instead of DC ..since DC office is closed now..
What does EB-3 thinks..we can send flowers to these guys and also to Charles Oppenhiemer...
Flowers anybody??;)
we can start the campign from monday!

Dear Mr. <insert ombudsman's name here>,
SUB: Visa allocation for employment based third preference workers
I am one of the thousands of employment based third category worker waiting for the priority dates to be current since many years. As you must be well aware that the backlog for EB3 category, and in particular for the Indian chargeability category has been lagging behind by almost 7 years, part of which is due to heavy subscription for the category.
All through the years, heavy demand in EB3 category was in part alleviated by the spill-over visas from other categories. This was mainly due to unused visas in employment based first category, and to a lesser extent from employment based second category. For FY2008, the long standing spill-over utilization rules seems to have been changed, resulting in a drastic reduction of visas available to EB3 category.
While I am not aware of an official guidance or a memo that details the impetus behind the change, it is widely accepted in the immigrant community that AC21 legislation played a major role in the change of rules.
The immigrant community is confused by this new reading as the confluence of AC21 along with pre-existing legislations does not make the spill-over of EB1 into EB3 disappear. AC21 legislations clarifies that the visa numbers in one category must have no consumers within the same category before it be released for use by other category. That is any number within EB2 will not be granted to EB3 unless there is no demand with EB2 for that number [Do we need this additional clarification?].
Spill-over from EB1 is dictated by the original text of section <$insert section here>, which seems to state that both Eb2 and EB3 should simultaneously benefit from the additional numbers. This reading is supported by the hypothesis that the EB5 spill-over which is mentioned in EB1 has not further mention in EB2 or EB3, but still the numbers from EB5 spills further down into EB2 and EB3 when Eb1 does not fully utilize the numbers.
Furthermore, in the Visa bulletin for July 2008, it is mentioned that the spill-over numbers are required to be assigned to the longest pending case first. I assume, though not explicitly stated, that this assumes per-country caps to be reached first.
Given the current trend in the priority dates for EB3, it is very clear that the spill-over from EB1 is being denied for EB3 preference, and this is causing tremendous hardships to people who have been waiting for long periods of time. I am sure that you agree that waiting for 7 years for a green card is extremely unfortunate.
I hope you to hear back about your views on the spill-over allocation, and hopefully see some action that will alter the spill-over rules to allocate unused EB1 numbers to alleviate the wait times being seen by employment based third preference workers.
Thanking you,
Sincerely

Here is the response I got from my Senator in TX. Looks like atleast this senator is aware of what's going on. Is there anyway the leaders at immigrationvoice.org could arrange a meeting with him in Washington to see if he can influence our cause.
Dear Dr. XXXXX:
I regret that my reply to your letter has been delayed. I strive to respond to each constituent in a timely fashion, but a technical error in an e-mail system used by the Senate prevented my reply from reaching you before today. The input that you and other Texans provide is valuable to me, and I appreciate the opportunity to respond without further delay.
Thank you for contacting me about delays in securing immigration visas. I appreciate having the benefit of your comments on this matter.
In the wake of customer complaints and concerns voiced by elected officials, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has informed my office that it is committed to ensuring six-month processing times for all applications and petitions by the close of 2006. Though the USCIS security check process is time consuming, USCIS reforms will not compromise national security in any way. USCIS officials reported recently that streamlining efforts, together with additional resources from Congress, have enabled it to reduce the backlog for many applications. Officials are confident they will achieve their goal for all applications. I applaud this commitment to customer service and look forward to a time when all who seek to visit or immigrate to America receive a prompt decision.
It has also come to my attention that once USCIS approves a petition, many individuals must wait lengthy periods of time because of visa shortages. I recently voted to support a measure that would recapture unused visas from prior years a move which would reduce the overall waiting period for visas. I will also continue to advocate for additional opportunities for legal immigration. Our immigration laws must not favor illegal immigration, but must instead reward those who comply with the rule of law.
I appreciate having the opportunity to represent Texans in the United States Senate. Thank you for taking the time to contact me.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXXXX

This is the reply from Attorney Murthy on a question asked on Murthy chat about filing two employment based I-485's for the same beneficiary (not the husband/wife situation).
"Generally it is safer not to file 2 separate 485s since it can confuse USCIS since they may assign two separate Alien or A numbers to the same person. This could end up delaying the person's I-485 approval down the road or create a security delay in many cases with multiple I-485s generally we recommend one case to be filed as an AOS and the other for CP if possible."
After much research on this, I tend to agree with this answer above (not the CP part though). As per my latest information from a lawyer who does multiple filings, the processing delay can be significant due to this. Looking back, wish our community had more information on this and more real examples of people who have done it. It would have helped members who were unsure if they should do multiple filings.
Anyways this thread will be useful for future I485 filers.
