This loss of visas is due to:
gaps in USCIS� accounting of cases;
USCIS not processing enough pending applications in a timely manner; and
the imprecise art of predicting workflows and demand surges at three federal agencies:
Department of Labor (DOL) (approves labor certifications);
USCIS (processes immigration petitions after completion of labor certifications and processes green card applications for applicants in the United States); and
DOS (establishes priority dates and processes immigrant visas from applicants outside the United States).

I think it is time to write to Senators and Congressmen about the DREAM Act. Please see the post below that the Act is being re-introduced. It is under the thread "Alert from AILA for Dream Act Support". We should make sure that it is appplied to all children, including documented. As it last stood in CIR, the DREAM Act applied to only undocumented children.
I am a legal skilled immigrant, came here in 1995, and am still in line for GC. My son aged-out 3 years ago, and daughter will age-out in a month. Both of them would be on path to GC and citizenship under the DREAM Act....only if they had come here as undocumented. The DREAM Act allows the benefit till age 30, whereas legal dependants age-out at 21. Why this discrimination against legal entrants?
I am planning to send emails to as many senators as possible over the weekend.

Alert from AILA for Dream Act Support
The Senate is currently considering the FY 2008 Department of Defense Authorization (H.R. 1585). Senators Specter and Leahy have offered the Habeas Corpus Restoration Act as an amendment to the bill; and Senators Durbin, Hagel, and Lugar are planning to offer the DREAM Act as an amendment. Call your senators now and urge them to vote YES on these amendments!
Any assistance you can give to help legal age out children would be fantastic I sent an e-mail to Weldon's office for an update today as we are waiting to hear if he will use our legislation and get a co sponsor to amend the cspa

Delays in Issuance of USCIS Receipt Notices - August 2007
Posted Aug 10, 2007
�MurthyDotCom
The USCIS has advised that, as of August 3, 2007, they have received a substantially higher than normal volume of filings. This comes as no surprise, as it is most likely related to the July 2007 Visa Bulletin filings. The volume of cases has created a "front log" of cases awaiting initial data entry and issuance of receipt notices. The USCIS advises that the receipt notice delays will not impact eligibility for change of status or extension of status. Cases will be treated as received on their actual receipt dates, even if the receipt notice is delayed. The actual date that the filing was received at the USCIS (receipt date) will appear on the I-797 receipt notice, in addition to a later issuance of the receipt notice (notice date).
�MurthyDotCom
Issuance of Receipt Notices at NSC and TSC
�MurthyDotCom
The USCIS has published updates with information about receipt notices and the order in which they will be issued. As of August 3, 2007, the Nebraska Service Center (NSC) had issued receipts for employment-based I-485s, I-131s, and I-140s filed on or before July 1, 2007. (Although July 1, 2007, is a Sunday, that is the date that was given by the USCIS.) NSC is issuing receipts for I-765s filed on or before July 2, 2007. The Texas Service Center (TSC) is reporting that it is issuing receipts for employment-based I-485s, I-131, and I-765s filed on June 26, 2007.

Murthy Law Firm Update and Suggestion
�MurthyDotCom
The USCIS plans to provide weekly updates on its issuance of receipt notices. As of last week, the Murthy Law Firm had received some I-485 receipt notices dated July 2, 2007. Those awaiting receipts should also see if their filing fee checks have been cashed. This confirms that the case was accepted for processing. A receipt number of the file / case can be found on the back of the check.

Hi ind_game, attorney and all readers,
After reading ind_game last quote "God save AC21.....". I have following questions:
1. Do you know any one (your friend, client) used AC21 and faced same problem? Es
2. Is it true that AC-21 info don't get updated in the USCIS records?
3. If yes (2 question), then x-employer I-140 revocation will ALWAYS result in THIS kind of problems (as ind-game is facing)?
4. To attorneys only: Is AC-21 really helpful or misleading? Asking because if it don't update in USCIS records.
Please reply.
thanks,
waitingmygc
waitingmygc,
I am really sorry if my message has festered you. That was not my intention. After three months of slog and surge in frustration, I was not ready for another 2 months.
1.
I have found some case studies and I am still in touch with them...........but everybody got thru this with a good ending........I have a series of case studies in another website's forum who have faced similar issue (of course, not 2 MTRs but just 1 MTR)...........I do not think it would be wise to post them here.........
2&3.
This is not in every case. One of the members contacted me today and said he got NOID for not submitting AC21, which is according to the guidance. One of my other friend did not submit any AC 21 and he got laid off from the changed company and he did not get any notification from USCIS. He is just moving ahead without filing any AC21.
One of my other friend changed jobs twice using AC 21 and he got NOIDs both times. NOID is common and according to the guidance in the memo (Yates memo). Trust me, I have contacted so many people in the past three months, I have enough case studies in my laptop now.

Looking at the recent approvals looks like USCIS does the following:
1. Pick up x number of files using a random algorithm.
2. Arrange these files in a random order using the same random algorithm
followed in step 1.
3. Randomly pick any file arranged in step 2.
4. Toss a coin.
5. On odd dates if it is heads,approve the file. On even dates if it is tails
approve it.
6. If file is not approved in step 5 put it on the shelf to be picked up
in step 1 in next cycle.
For Disclaimers: on step (1), x is also a random number, and the coin used on step (4) by USCIS may sometimes have neither tail nor head..:D

is there any way, any way in this whole freakin process, that we can get some sort of explanation for eb3-I first hand from DOS or USCIS? i mean there needs to be some justification for the acts? i know there are laws to interpret these dates, but how do we know that those laws are interpreted correctly by DOS or USCIS? though i am in eb3-I , jan 2003, i personally know atleast 3 folks who are in 2002 - eb3-I. Can we get some sort of guidance here.
i will ask the iv folks who keep in touch with USCIS if they know anything. AFAIK though, USCIS has come out with no answers other than quoting the non availability of adequate visa numbers. if there is any more info i will let you know...

This is a great article. We will be making efforts to get it published. if somone can also write on the innvators (http://www.ocregister.com/ocregister/opinion/homepage/article_1366853.php) (If you doubt the contributions of foreign-born workers to our country, you simply need to look at the talent that has provided the United States with a high-technology edge. Sergey Brin, co-founder of Google, is Russian-born; Intel co-founder Andy Grove is from Hungary; Sabeer Bhatia, co-founder of Hotmail, is from India; Jerry Yang, originally from Taiwan, brought us Yahoo; Pierre Omidyar, founder of eBay, is from France; and Vinod Kholsa, co-founder of Sun Microsystems, is from India.) and how they helped America in the op-ed it will be another angle for us.
The article can talk about the talent, innovation high skilled immigrants bring to this country and be more specific to the greencard process. The above mentioned URL is specific to H1B visa.

Hi Vayumahesh,
My attorney told me that it takes around a month to get ported (may be he is just saying in general). As I mentioned earlier My I-140 (EB2 one) shows EB3 priority date. I hope something will happen in a month or two.
Good luck to you on your EB2 I-140.
Thanks.

Not sure if anyone else has faced this so wanted to put this out: I own a home and have a loan on it since 2003 (I was on H1 when i took the loan), now that the ARM is about to adjust i am in the market for refinance.
There is however a question on all the loans underwritten by freddy/fanny asking for immigration status and if the answer is EAD the loan is denied. They even sent me an explanation of denial.....:confused:
I have refinanced with Wells Fargo without any issues. If you need more details, please PM me.

Visa Bulletin suggests that severe cut-off date retrogressions are likely to occur early in FY 2008, which starts on October 1, 2007.
So we still have some time on our side.
Hope will keep us alive!!

One More Time,it is proved that we are unwanted group of people, even though we pay the highest social security tax.
Shame on You IRS !!!
Why don't you listen to others on this forum? No one is out to screw H-1s and/or GC aspirants as far as the rebate is concerned. Read the previous post by gg10004. The law is not differentiating between a H1 and GC aspirant or a US citizen if none of them have a valid SSN. It is just unfortunate that H4s do not get SSNs. So stop getting paranoid.
Moreover, your response that your title "No Stimulus Package to H1's and GC Aspirants - Again We Loose 1200$" is justified because titles are not for stories or whatever makes you look like an utter idiot. Titles are for accurately reflecting the gist of the thread. If you have an issue with adding 5 more words to reflect the reality, then add only one word: "No Stimulus Package to SOME H1's and GC Aspirants - Again We Loose 1200$".
