However, should the dates be retrogressed before you file, you will not be able to file until your PD becomes current again.
There is no time limit. You can file it as long as your PD makes the cut off time

Do not panic. I have a very good experience with CGI Houston. So far I renewed four passports at different times. They take minimum six weeks to process the passports issued in India. The latest one I sent was reached them on September 24th and I got renewed passport on Nov 9th.

Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
I concur with you. This isn't fair. I am in a situation where it seems I'm stranded on an island. A rescue boat is passing by and I may not be able to reach it at all.
Furthermore, my lawyers tell me that DOL may extend it's September deadline that it set for clearing backlogs. What did we gain by not going for better opportunities, and just clutching on to our priority dates?
It's far from over. It's far from being a relief. Sounds more miserable than before.

Today I received e-mail from USCIS stating --> "Service records indicate that your case was approved and your I-551 card was mailed on May 9, 2011 to the address we had on file at that time. Please check with your local Post Office for undeliverable mail. Your document has not been returned to us. "
Looks like I am greened. But when I check my status on uscis.gov it shows "initial review" same from last 4 years, there is no LUD change also. I didn't receive any welcome e-mail or card production ordered. Is anyone in same scenario? Is this normal process?

Makes sense now, I assume your certificate is issued in a hospital. To enter the details in to the birth registration file, parents usually have to wait till they decide on the name and need to register the birth.
My son was named after we got a birth certificate from Mumbai Corporation with "Baby Boy" appearing as the name. After naming him and when he was ready for school, we went to the local Corporation office (Chembur, Mumbai) and had to fill some form for corrections. And they corrected their registers/our originals, with an officer's green ink signature nearby the correction and adding no of corrections - 1 in the certificate. That was acceptable to USCIS. I do not remember if it was done in the same day or I had to go after few days again. This was a routine procedure there.

Response from most of them was "I will pass the message".
Some took my phone number, name and current location.
Exceptions were
From office of 'Hilda Solis', staff said that congressman is already
supporting those bills.
Office of "Ciro Rodriguez" said that they respond to issues from
their constituents and encouraged me to call my representative.
Office of "Lucille Roybal-Allard" said "pass and message" and asked
if I have contacted my representative.

Lets look at Rep. Smith - Reclaim American Jobs Caucus | Congressman Lamar Smith (http://lamarsmith.house.gov/Issues/Issue/?IssueID=14781)
he is against amnesty and for border control.
--> the cir menendez bill has all the border control provisions that the republicans want (in fact, it is entirely what they want) - so one issue is addressed.
--> illegal immigrants who are already in the country - record number of them have been deported in the 2 years under this administration (more than the republican presidents in the past!), trying to deport them all will take billions of dollars (which the govt does not have - or will it be charged on the legal immigrants?). Yes, one should not support lawbreakers, but just saying that does not solve the problems......what proposals are there that will address the illegal immigrants? nothing.
the talking points are:
border control, we are against amnesty. NOT GOOD ENOUGH. Provide solutions, if not a path towards legalization with due fines, what alternative do you suggest?
Lamar Smith's webpage:
�
--> Sounds pro legal immigrants right. For now, yes.
--> How many of the H4 spouses said they have no intention of working in the US in the visa interview? How long before they come for us, for using the legal immigration loopholes to enter the job market? Is it fair for qualified spouses to stay home when they can contribute to the economy - absolutely not!! But in the eyes of the americans, are they taking away the jobs? absolutely!
IF not now, these very people will come after us too..
what do you think?
Frankly, I have not yet heard any noise being created regarding H4s converting to H1s and joining the workforce, legally.
If someone who came here on an H4/F2, upgrades their skillset via formal education (no issues in this case!) or via professional training and the ability to fake experience and sell it to land a "project" (no legal issues here, only moral issues and hats off to their guts.. How do they do that??) then they absolutely deserve to be in the workforce.
There is a lot of noise about H1Bs but most of it was focussed on Indian IT giants locking up the H1Bs by the 1000s and (in the anti-immigrant lobby's words) "bring in cheap labor from India". Another blemish brought about on H1B is "gross exploitation of systemic loopholes by IT consulting companies (mostly owned by Indians) ". These issues are being addressed by USCIS by increasing scruitny before issuing new H1B approvals.
If your company has played by the rules, your credentials are not flawed, there is very little to worry about.

Hello Gurus,
I have a question as follows. I was with an old company and transferred the H1 in the 9th year to the new company. I already had my Labor and I-140 approved with the old company (EB3-I Category).
After switching to this new company I had to start my PERM all over again as I missed the July 2007 boat and could not file for I-485. My new company is based in L.A.-California. I am already drawing my salary from new company. They only have office in L.A. I work for them from my home office in NJ. Today the company's attorney called & asked me that I needed to have L.A. residential address as it is required to be stated on the application. I have no intentions to move to L.A. in near future. I am in a fix now as to how to go about this. I will appreciate all you gurus and experts advice and also please advise me repercussions if any.
Please help.
___________
Deadline = April 30th, 2011
Goal = 5000 votes on survey (see I-485 filing w/o current PD thread) and momentum to continue with this campaign.The survey is a platform to gather and push for launching action items. Based on response by 04/30/2011 - IV will decide whether to even proceed with initiative or not.
Actions - 1) Vote on survey.
2)Email ivcoordinator@gmail.com with PD, ph#,email & subject "I485 filing impacted”,
3)Print/Circulate Fliers and spread FB, wiki link (see "support thread")

I am quite confused. My date is June 2002 first week .
Not sure if it makes sense to Port to Eb2 , but big uknown is how long it would take PD to move up to June 2002.
It could take 2 years at the earliest, more like 3-4 years. Do not quote me- this is just a guesstimate. Nobody knows. Better to file EB2 and interfile 140 & 485 using EB3 pd.
The best thing to do is to get involved with IV State chapters and advocate for change.

WASHINGTON � While lawmakers try to compromise on a border control measure, President Bush is heading West on Tuesday to campaign for his guest worker initiatives as part of an immigration overhaul.
Bush will visit a Border Patrol training center in New Mexico and a sector headquarters in Texas. Immigration reform is a hot-button issue in both of the border states.
While the president is on the road, members of Congress are trying to reconcile differing bills on the immigration issue. The Senate measure includes a version of Bush's guest worker program, while the House bill focuses solely on tougher border enforcement.

nice posters (soft copy only...authorized by IV....we can print in our local areas) to be placed in Grocery shops (mainly Indian stores mostly they accept) to attract new and inactive members to participate/contribute to this event. I am ready to place it in my area (4 stores I can reach).
Also how about pamphlets (again soft copy..authorized by IV...we can print it in our local) placed in stores for people to pick and read it (some may act on it). May be 1 in 100 will join which is reasonable (not a great) reach.
This is a good idea.
Could you find people willing to help create posters on a new thread. IV can help form a group that would take care of all creating posters, fliers, banner ads etc for this event.

don't join IV just to declare your GC.
u leeched here and never contributed and now joining to tell everyone that u have GC now. Get lost.
I would not like to use such words like Leech without knowing the history of a member. It is derogatory.
I am happy that the person joined IV and maybe contributed to it. It is partly our fault that we all did not reach out to such people and convince them enough how they can be a part of the effort. Such members with few posts may be still thinking of IV just as forum for posting their case questions. They may think of IV just like any other tracker site or forum. If it is true then it is also a fault of each one of us because we have not raised the awareness enough. It does not really matter if they post 100 times or 1 time. There are some donors who have less than 10 posts but they have been silent supporters of IV as donors for a long time. Some such people have visited local lawmakers regularly and given feedback of their meetings to IV. Some volunteer their time to IV on regular basis. So its all not about money. They just do not have time to regularly visit IV. But they support the effort one way or another in behind the scenes work or contributing to it.
What I do not like are people who do not care about what we do even though they know about IV. Such people maybe having 1000 posts or no posts. They only contact IV when their own case is having problems. Whether it is EAD delays or I485 denial etc. They could be talking against IV all this time and then suddenly expect IV to devote its time and resources to help them. It is the quality of the community that defines who we are and when we come across such people it is shameful. Last year there was a very active member for several years (never contributed a penny but had 100s of posts) who became current. He used to post on approval thread like this one seeing who gets approval. When his anxiety level reached high, he sent me a PM saying he will contribute $25 to IV if IV can help as his case is current and USCIS is not taking action. Such are the incidents we come across and we really wonder if these are the highly educated folks we are fighting for. As I have said, the reason why this backlog still exists is because Immigrants stuck in the backlog are ok with it and do not care about removing it. There is no point blaming the system, if people in the system do not complain against it.

The dates will keep moving and I bet you will be current in the June bulletin.
This is the selfish part of me speaking but I hope they don't become current but move to April 2008 or something similar.
If EB3 ROW is current then that opens up the numbers to EB3 India and China and we saw last year that India alone got 17K approvals so that cuts from the number of ROW approvals.
Again ... it's the selfish part of me ... in a perfect world, nobody would have to wait this long or make these claculations ...
I'm happy for all the people that get that "card ordered" email but I so hope to get one for myself!!!!
