Administration Slams Door on Thousands of Legal Immigrants: AILA Condemns Agencies� Bait and Switch

WASHINGTON, D.C.--The American Immigration Lawyers Association strongly condemns the bait and switch perpetrated by the federal government on thousands of intending immigrants who have waited in line for years and were following the rules for obtaining a "green card."
On June 13, 2007, the U.S. State Department announced that, as of July 2, individuals seeking permanent residence ("green cards") through employer sponsorship finally would be allowed to proceed with their applications. Applicants would have a short window, possibly only through July or perhaps August, to complete their paperwork.
Those intending immigrants, immediately and at great expense, rushed to gather final documents, complete their paperwork and obtain required medical exams. Many sent their applications off on Friday, June 29 for arrival on July 2 at the Department of Homeland Security, for the last phase of the multi-step process that leads to a green card.
However, on the very day the door was to open, DOS and DHS slammed it shut.
On July 2, DHS and DOS announced-based on no different information than they had on June 13 when they announced the opening of this filing door-that all applications would be turned away.
"People ask why those who come to the United States illegally can't just follow the rules," said Kathleen Campbell Walker, President of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. "But here people followed the rules and did everything right, yet without warning or explanation the door was slammed in their faces. This hoax perpetrated by these two government agencies is unconscionable, and is an example of how badly our immigration system is broken."
AILA calls on the Administration to do the right thing and keep its promise to the people affected by this sudden reversal. AILA also calls on Congress to get it right this time and fix our badly broken system.

NSC applications are getting receipt notices atleast...
don't know when will we get it from TSC...
receipt notice gives confidence that our application is accepted.
EAD can wait for a month or 2. anyway its my personal opinion

I don't know what your circumstances are, however I would recommend that you stick around for a few more weeks before you join the new company. You have already waited this long. And like lazycis rightly said AC21 may only be invoked 180 days after 485 receipt date.
As far as job description goes, ask your new company to specify the title as Programmer analyst and provide a job description that includes "database administration" among other things specified in your Labor/I-140.
I know that it is easier said than done when things are not in your control, however we can atleast try.

Do everything from scratch. File a new labor for a job position that requires a master's degree or bachelors + 5 years of exp. Then when applying for 140, attach a copy of the old 140 to use the earlier PD. There is no relation between the new job position and the job from the old 140. They do not have to match.
Risks? Zero. You just have to spend time and effort in getting the new 140.
The benefits of doing this far outweigh the trouble that you have go through to get bumped up to EB2.

There is a section in 485 application to list your spouse and dependents. Talk to a good lawyer to see if you can still add her. Or you can live in india until you figure out a way to bring her here on student visa or something.

The ranking is for how widely Indian companies give bribes ABROAD away from home. The context may not be entirely right, but it is a reflection of "normal" domestic practices.

IMHO, this is a legitimate website as I have been getting updates from them regularly and they are a supporting group for illegal immigrants path to legalization. As per the email I received today, anti-immigrants have sent 693,437 faxes to Washington this month to oppose reform.
See they took your personal information and now spamming you. How are you sure they wll not share your personal information with anyone?

there is a gross misconception that iv is focusing "only" on 485 filing. and repeating is ad libidum is not helping.
the 485 measure is a short term tactical decision.it was taken after it became clear that nothing else could be added to an appropriation bill currently.remember that the attitude of the majority is to have a comprehensive bill ONLY.
certain members took to angrily denouncing the whole idea leading to a great deal of unpleasantness, of course the fault was on both sides as no tolerance for the opposing opinion was shown. it's sad though that some of these people now bad mouth iv on other forums.
as long as we insist on bickering and being divided, we will never succeed
let's just stop now, if that's all everyone wants to do on a daily basis. we can all stew in our own sweet juices for the next 20 years...WAITING.

Given the hopelessness of the situation in March, switched jobs and was unable to file labor for a variety of reasons. Now everyday I see people come over and tell me how they plan to switch jobs once the 6 month mandated hibernation is over...I feel like breaking something. Lot of them have even stopped working, confident that a new job awaits :mad:

Wake up people .... E-filing is better than paper filing !!!
Why me and some other Desis still do not e-file - cause, most likely our company lawyers takes care of it. And it works just as well. We get to do the all important task of signing the papers. :D
Good point though... seriously consider e-filing next time. With the retrogressed dates and no CIR in sight, most of us Desis will get ample opportunity to test out newer technologies by the time we get our GCs. :D
Everyone, have a great long weekend!

I have two passports one with H4 Visa stamped and another Surname changed. While entering US, I have used my name as in the Visa (new surname) in the I-94 card.
I have applied for H1B with new surname in this May and change of Status with that I-94.
During H1 processing, I have travelled out of US and while entering back I have used old surname( as sometime back DMV ppl told that the name on I-94 should match with H4 Visa)
Now I got H1 approval and COS approval with my middle name taken as first name and new surname.
1) First thing is, the I-94 on COS approval and I-94, currently present in my Passport does not match.
2) First name and middle name are interchanged in the passport and H1 approval.
Is this going to create any problem while applying SSN? What are the possible consequences..
Also, any similar scenarios, plz respond..

My knowledge in this issue is limited, but looking at above posts, I have two things to tell you:
1. It may be possible to convert to EB2, clearly it is not easy and it takes time. EB3 clearly has a longer wait than EB2, but the conversion process takes time as well (even if everything is well in line, you are looking at 1.5-2 yrs at least).
2. Whether you convert to EB2 or not, chances are, you will be still in line till immigration reform comes and kicks in. Please participate in all efforts to make sure that there are some good provisions for legal immigrants in immigration reform. If all of our efforts work, you surely will get your greencard soon, whether you convert to EB2 or not.
Good Luck.
