Yup, same here. 7 yrs 5 months and waiting.
Even friends have stopped asking me when I will get my GC. I think they may have asked so many times they got tired.
Funny to see ppl now a days getting labor in 3 months for what took me 4 plus yrs.
Hav been current since Oct 1st this yr and still nothing. It used to hurt but now am numb to the pain. Just hope the same job I have been in since 9 yrs still keeps me until some positive outcome comes (if it ever does).
Is your labor approved after 2005? If your labor approved before 2005 you should have got your GC right?

I'm in the same hole. Oct'2003 is my PD EB2I. had interview 3 months back. Was waiting so eagerly for this day. no update on my case. While I see Dec'2004 cases getting approved. Why can't USCIS do some organization and issue green card purely by priority dates rather than at the mercy of the officer. Why should they make lives of poor immigrants and green card applicants as miserable and touch as possible? Can't do anything more than feeling bad. :-(
If your PD is current, try creating a service request. This will force IO to look at your case. If it is ready for approval, he would probably approve it.

Hi, I am actually in the same boat as you. Though I have an April 2006 PD for EB3 and am now on EAD as well.
Question1: Is it better to try and port my EB3 to EB2 with a different employer. Isn't GC for future employment ? If so, can't I negotiate with another employer and file new labour under EB2 and try and port my priority date from EB3 ? Also, if I do this will my current employer find out ?
Questions2: What is the process for porting EB3 to EB2 without current employer finding out ? What documents are required ? My current employer is not going to give me a copy of my I-140 or my Labour Cert. All I have is the receipt notice of my I-485 filing and my AP/EAD documents.
Questions3: Is it possible that since there are so many India EB2 applicants and fewer India EB3 applicants that it is better to stick with EB3 April 2006 PD ? Dosen't a seperate quota get allocated to EB3 than that which gets allocated to EB2 each year or will EB3 always be behind EB2? Please advise.
I will really appreciate someone who has experience with these issues to advise me on them.
NOTE: Can someone please tell me how I can create my own new thread on immigration voice.

Thanks for the comment!
I've done the entire process on my own untill today. I also did not have any lawyers involved in any of the misdemeanors. I do have documentation of all the cases. All cases are closed and I'm just paying the fines and have to put up with the probation. I spoke to a lawyer (first time I met with him) today and he advise me to pay him $600 to accompany me to the interview.
Any take on the lawyer's advice? Or can I take the challenge on my own?
Better to take a lawyer with you. He knows immigration law better than you do. At the most you stand to lose 600 bucks that way.

You need the receipt number to track your I140.
You can get your receipt number/notice only from the employer!
Is it possible to track 140 without the receipt notices.

Hello RamK:
Would you please share your exp here?
Were you able to invoke AC21?
Also, can I have my H1B extended after 6th year( 3 yr ext), based on 140 approved.

antonio, arte verdade outro vez. obrigado.
jeff, you can shoot the scene in raw and "develop" several images at the exposure that you want (0, +1, -1, etc) in your raw converter. that way you can guarantee that they'll line up. PS also has a pin register feature that will snap the images into place as you create the layers. combine those two methods and it's really fast. i use that often for action shots where there is no opportunity for in camera bracketing. good luck. later, kevin

and researched by Pappu himself. Check the archives in the last 30 days.
bottomline: its a gray area and no one is sure. There is no law against doing it, some lawyers recommend it (Rajiv Khanna), others discourage as it could confuse USCIS and cause delays (Murthy) yet others say its simply not allowed.

Folks,
I read in this (http://www.ksdk.com/news/local/story.aspx?storyid=170404&catid=3) report that none of the 4 students were wearing seat belts. Please always wear your seat belts.
My prayers are with their families
Thats just tragic, please wear seatbelts even if you're in the backseat, it can seriously save lives.

She is a derivative on my pending AOS, has a valid EAD/AP. She used to work on H1 and stopped work sometime ago. Does she need to do anything/is she automatically considered to be in AoS status?
Nothing is needed from employee.
Employer needs to notify USCIS about termination.

We should better target each and every senators/congress in the judicial panel which oversees immigration with a message and a request to look into VB fiasco and recapturing of EB numbers .
May be some of those message through flowers / community services in that particular leader district /meeting them with a group of people
lets not over do it. There is a thin line between it being tolerated and backfiring

Hi All,
We are devastated. We got robbed last weekend. We lost everything including our green cards. After 6 years of wait, we got the cards in May. Unfortunately, we did not make any photocopies. We applied for replacement of cards using I-90 forms. Has anyone been in such a situation ?
Please help us with any suggestions.
Thanking you all.

The title is in Hindi and it means "Labor is on sale, do you want to buy it?" The hindi line is taken from a very famous hindi song of 80s that says "groom is on sale, do you want to buy it?"

BTW, in the first place, shouldn't you have checked before going to the Interview that his passport has expired?.....that is a bit lame in my view...!....that's the first requirement for going to any immigration office - your passport should be valid for atleast 6 months from that date.
Anyways, passport renewal can be done very fast at the consulate. I don't think they will stamp it on the current passport.
Thank you for the quick response and advise.
Do they stamp the I-551 on a current passport, when he gets it renewed, even if we have not receive the approval letter? How do they verify this?
I do not have experience with this, so I greatly appreciate your patience.

I came across comments that H1 to EAD is one way. So its better to be in H1 rather than being in EAD. The expenses may not be great even you have to shell out some dollars. If you wish to change jobs and get around 30% increase use EAD.
I attended an interview that i have EAD then when it came to negotiations on salary i accepted the little lower offer and asked them to do H1B transfer. It works....
