Well, that's the job of the media. Our job is to get GC. Although the issues are true, I would still prefer having absolutely correct articles, so no anti-immigrant could point his/her finger saying "look, immigrants are spreading lies". Just like we bashed them when they were claiming that we pay less taxes. It was a good point to discredit them.
Media always narrates and presents it in a form where the commoner can understand, it needs spice.
Let us hope that we get more media attention and people start listen to us.
That�s the key here

Is there any pattern to the delays....in the sense that, did the applicants apply it late or the USCIS has been late in spite of applying around 120 days before expiry of EAD?

I found some things in our favor:
1. Cap exempt H1B holders can now work for cap subject employer CONCURRENTLY without being counted to cap
If I am reading the memo correctly, there is more to it. Suppose person 'X' is working for a cap-exempt employer "A". Now s/he can do the following:
(i) get a "concurrent" H1-B for a cap-subject employer "B". During this time the person 'X' continues his/her employment with the cap-exempt employer "A".
(ii) Once the H1-B is approved, s/he can stop working for the cap-exempt employer "A" and continue full time work with the cap-subject employer "B".
However, later on if person "X" wants to move to another cap-subject employer "C", then "X" needs to wait for H1-B quota numbers.

Interesting. Talk to congressman and senator - talk to IV - IV also helps in these situations.
Chandu,
How does one find the local congressman/senator's contact info?
i would like to get help on my MTR/re-appeal for 140 denial.
thanks.

Guys, these are all good suggestions.
However, it is a fact that EAD/AP etc are given in certain circumstances only. Eg to students on OPT, applicants for Adjustment of Status etc. I dug through INA and it specifically says that the Attorney General shall provide Work permits to applicants waiting for Adjustment of Status applicants. I don't have the time to dig through again and provide a reference, but in any case:
USCIS can't just go give EADs to whomever they please. Legislation is required to authorize these benefits. Students are allowed to work on OPT because Congress legislated that they may, not because USCIS thought it was a good idea.
The bigger point that I am trying to make is that whether we get EAD/AP as a derivative of I485 filing even with retrogression, or as a beneficiary of an approved immigrant petition, is immaterial. Legislation is required to bring about these changes.
If you think about concurrent filers in situations where USCIS takes a long time over immigrant petitions, then you are better off with EAD/AP being a benefit of 485 filing rather than waiting for the I140 approval. You get EAD/AP in a couple months instead of waiting for i140 approval then filing for EAD/AP.
At this point, I am going to go back into hibernation. Thanks.
BTW, please don't quote a whole post if all you are going to say is "I agree".

Guys,
I don't think we need to get too worked about this, or spend much time responding to such "needless needling". I think your posts above should answer all questions.
Let's focus on our mission- which is, to apprise lawmakers of the genuine plight of skilled, legal immigrants- folks who bring much needed skills to work for this country, folks who pay high taxes and contribute to their communities, folks who respect and follow the law!

"Folks who are Re-Filing just out of anxiety",
Do you realize that this duplicate App is going to increase the turnaround from 90 to 120 days ?
Please put some thought man - USCIS clearly said that FEDEX/USPS signed receipt is acceptable proof for EAD/AP filing in one of the FAQ's so if its get rejected out of USCIS error you can refile later.
SuperUsers and Moderators - What is your take on this ??
Thanks,
I think there are valid reasons for SOME of us to re-file but in general it should be avoided as much as possible. We are 20000 odd people here in TOTAL. That is about 7% The total number of applications received by USCIS (maybe 300000). So, while you are right there is no need to re-file just out of anxiety, I don't see how it will make any impact on the processing times.

I may have lost it there for a bit, I agree. Obviously you are obsessed with me to the point of ignoring my main points and attacking me for the minor ones. If you read the thread, iskantem and I continued our conversation after that.
My points again :
1. The diversity argument is flawed when it comes to skilled immigration, especially when we have most of the grad schools here filled with Indian/Chinese students. This is what I was explaining to "iskantem" and why especially when you are talking about less than 0.05% of the population it doesn't make sense.
2. We don't even allow anyone over here to have an alternate opinion on an issue. In terms of IV activity, it is almost 100% Indian. However 60% of the EB3 backlog is not from India! Now why don't we see these 70000+ ROW guys participating here I wonder! Let me tell you why. Its because a lot of us actively discourage them from participating whenever they have an opinion contrary to ours (read India). Now I maybe guilty of losing it a little there, but I still made an effort to reach out and explain the flaw in the diversity issue he was mentioning rather than mount an all out attack/ignore him right away/stick my head in the ground.
Well, of course since you are so obsessed with me and also with getting reds (if you notice I didn't give you any) you may have missed them. Happy that you got me? And happy you didn't get reds? Good, enjoy your day. Please let's get back to the issues now. Peace.
LOL. I got "snookered" there. But to my credit, I didn't vent a red on you either.
For the record, I don't mind the red's I "earn". But as you also observed, you get that for free around here by the dozen. And I can't ignore it when people act childishly
There is no doubt the policies are flawed, foolish or whatever. But I maintain that screaming out to another person/s in a forum is of little good. Agreed that your arguments have weight, but they should be made to the right person at the right time. So let's wait for the next letter-writing event and we can participate in writing the draft..

Hi Dinesh,
I am a physician myself who served j1 waiver and on AOS from 7/07. My son is a going to be a senior in High School this year. Why did you have a problem with state college apps on AOS/EAD?
Vina,
I had intended to respond to your post, but ended up with a different one. Do take a look at my post, sent a few minutes ago, about college admissions on AOS, and the related tuition issues.
Best of luck

Did you get an RFE before denial?
Could you please post who did the education evaluation for you? Was it a course by course eval?
It will also help if you could provide details on your labor certification category such as
section (203) (3) (i) or (ii) etc.. for skilled worker or professional. I believe You could also find this on your I-140 receipt notice..
'Will accept academic studies evaluated as equivalent of US Bachelors' This wording is tough to handle given that what you have is a Combination of courses evaluated as equivalent to US Bachelors, based on details provided in your post quote "I have a 3 year diploma & 1 year towards Bachelors in business" end quote.

Will post about duration as soon as I get the cards in hand.
I Efiled mine on may 19th, FP on jul 3rd, no update yet.
Efiled my wife's EAD on may 30th, FP on jun 24th, Card prod ordered July 23rd.
We are currently working on EADs which expire on 30th Aug.
Am worried if I will have the card by then or not.
If i dont have the approval by aug 19th, I am planning to take Infopass for the interim EAD.
It sucks to see they dont follow FIFO or atleast close to FIFO, so much variation as some june filers received card in june itself.

So those guys who attended the hearings or met with senators. what was the result? what did they accomplished? did they get the opportunity to participate with the senator or law maker in an action plan? or we just wasted that opportunity asking for autographs? please those guys post your comments. - I strongly object to the language used in your post. How can you say the IV members just went to get the autographs. If you were involved in any of the meetings with the lawmeekers, you would know the difference. Just don't come here for name sake and post whatever you want.
Get educated yourself before posting these silly questions. Also open the thread in the appropriate forum.

IV hadle of Dr Saurabh is 'drsaurabhsethi'. abhijitp, you guys rocked the stage with my favourite music. I want congratulate everyone in CA chpater for their enthusiasm and grand participation in the rally. You guys did it, what we couldn't do being local to DC. We learned a lot from CA chpater memebers from their dedication and hard work. Keep it up. Hats off to all CA members.
I want to add that it was only because of the superb guitaring by Dr Saurabh that we could do the song in the right (soul) rhythm. In my own youtube video I had played a much simpler 4 count rhythm as otherwise it was getting kind of hard to focus on the lyrics.
Also, I don't know how others from North CA feel but Aman's motivating speech during his visit to CA (the Milpitas event) was the turning point for me! Maybe before the next rally, Aman should consider visiting all 50 states:)
