Seems like the Service Center employees are either laid off :D or on vacation...No movement for 485 processing dates compared to last months update.

I am thinking of opening a thread on IV forum to sell my couch. I am sure there will be many potential buyers.:D :D
This thread is closed for now. We do not wish to encourage members to advertise on this site. The site should be focussed on IV issues and EB immigration matters that members can discuss.

I guess you mistook my statement... what I said was, where did they get enough EB2-ROW to approve and so fast that they used up all the visas earmarked for EB2-ROW... Its unavailability now that will cause a backlog and thus retorgression after october...
in other words, if demand is higher than supply there will be a demand side backlog and this backlog occurs due to more demand than supply and thus unavailability of the "commodity"... this "unsatisfied demand" or "backlog" will then cause retrogression...
my question was, where did so much EB2-ROW demand come from when in reality with country quotas and EB2-ROW being current all along there NEVER was a extrodinary demand and a pending backlog in this cat. to begin with...
No, I didn't misunderstand your statement at all. EB2 Row didn't have a massive demand. EB3 ROW did.
So to answer your question - How can EB2 ROW go Unavailable? It is very simple. All the visas were distributed for the year, all the ROW ones (recently) went to EB3 ROW. It doesn't make a jot of a difference whether they were distributed to EB2 ROW (and probably weren't, since as I mentioned, it was never Retrogressed, and therefore never in demand or never a problem)
You seem to be misunderstanding my (albeit brief) statement. Technically, the numbers available for ROW are much greater (7% x roughly 250 countries). The mere fact that there has been retrogression in EB3 ROW for years shows that demand. It doesn't matter what EB2 ROW has done.
When the visa numbers are done, they are done. If there are spare visas in the ROW category, they trickle down to EB3. If there are no bottlenecks at EB1 or EB2, the supply is greater than demand and EB3 benefits.
There is easily enough demand from ROW all categories combined to make up the difference.
This is assuming, of course, that the 7% country limits were observed.
btw - my guess is that EB2 will become current again, and EB3 will go back to May date (aug 03)

How can you use I-140 from Company A and 485 from Company B. I think you can't do it.
But I think you can use AC21 with Company B as 180 days has crossed after filing 485 and your I-140 is pending. This is very risky.
I would suggest you to consult an Attorney before taking any decision.
485 is not based on any company....

This is useful for those singles who have applied for green card but are worried about getting it before being married. And there appears to be quite a number of them.
Even if it is not useful for all those married green card applicants, this is a huge thing for the singles even if they are in the long Q. This is a long term solution for a section of the IV community. Because it is not useful to married doesn't mean that it is not relevant to IV community.
I have seen people who didn't apply during July fiasco though they are eligible just because they cannot bring the spouse if they get married. Absolutely it is relevant to all those singles out there in this community.

There was no agreement signed. It was just agreed on an email. Am i still bound with the emplyment laws. Just want to understand before taking any steps. Also the project has ended after 4 month but i don't have any document. Also company B can't reveal any internal documents.
Buddy, You won't get legal notice . Don't worry too much. Company A is just threatening you.

Folks,
Please take a moment to fill in the below survey from Barack Obama's website. I'm 100% sure that the results of the survey will reach the President. No sign-up necessary to complete the survey. To select 'Immigration Reform' as your number one priority, choose 'Other' and type in 'Immigration Reform'. You can see that Immigration reform is not one of the top priorities of the administration at the moment.
Here is the Link:

There's thousands of threads that talk about porting. I don't think there's any need to re-iterate those topics again.
Specially from the crappy source you had provided.
Sachin, aren't you the OP of this thread. Since you have already read those thousands of posts why ask the question in the first place and then if someone is quoting a source and you are not willing to listen, then ignore the post. Why would you go on and start a fist fight.
I think moderators should just remove such posts.

In addition to checking the appropriate response in your I-485 form, you (wife)have to confirm that you are filing as a derivative of the husbands primary petition (Part 2, response should be "b" please make sure again! you may even use highlighter pen) you may include your husbands I-140 as well as Labor certification copies and highlight the Priority dates in these forms with brilliant colors.
Marriage Certificate is a must.
Also I would include the last years tax returns for your husband and the sealed medical clearance from your doctor, to make it rejection proof!
A cover letter as well as a "DO NOT OPEN IN MAIL ROOM" addressing the Service center director, and placing it over a double bagged packaging of the whole thing may also help.Somehow you have to convince the morons in the mail room that it is "RESUBMISSION DUE TO USCIS ERROR"
Wish you all the best!

If you paper filed your EAD and have done finger printing recently that could be the reason for 485 LUD. Its my opinion after every finger printing there will be an LUD in 485
No. FP for EAD is catagory 2, FP for I485 is catagory 3. I have not seen any LUD on I485 for getting FP for EAD.
As suggested by "mittal_a" it should be due to AC21 or some other routine stuff.

Hi,
I signed an agreement with my employer who is holding my H1 visa. Agreement is saying I should not work for same client for 1 year. While I am on project, client is offering me Permanent job. My employer is saying I should not accept the employment offer from client. If I ignore my employer and accepts the offer from my client, I am going to be in trouble?
Thank you very much.
Regards,
Venkat.

Is there something we can do to avoid this PIMS delay.......
I have been trying to ask the attorney and even the free chat on IV but no one is giving a clear solution on how to avoid pims delay. :mad:
I too need to go for stamping and am delaying it just because of this pims delay.
