Thank you all for the good wishes !!
Pappu, I havnt got the approval notice / email yet. Will update once I have the same.
The day I got the email ( April 9 ) from TSC, I received an "unknown" call on my cell phone. I was in a meeting and was unable to take the call. Couple of days back I received a similar call and it was from an immigration officer @ TSC. She chatted with me regarding my old 140 for 2 minutes and told me that the priority date has been ported / used. I think the nice lady wanted to let me know about the approval and since I did not pick up the call generated an email from the OLD TSC system !!!!! . There is no update on the online system after wards.. I will update once I get something in regular mail..
Thanks again for all the good wishes and hopefully things will improve for all of us soon.

Hi gurus
I look for a help in terms of clarification for birth cert,,
1. Born in 70 but my birth was registered in 2005 when I wanted a birth certificate, BC issued in aug 2005 and says registered in 2005. Is it ok I use them or I need an affidavit also from my parents?
2. There is one letter written wrongly in my name.. can i send or get a new one??
I would greatly appreciate your advise on this
Thanks in advance for your help

Hi friend,
1st question). As per immigration rules,if ur birth is registered on or after 1year of ur birth till date,u got to submit two additional sworn affidavits along with the birth certificate as proof.
So in ur case since ur birth was registered in 2005 and got a new birth certificate in 2005 u need to submit the following :
Birth certificate(which u have now with u..issued in august 2005)
+
Two sworn affidavits from any two blood relatives(mom,dad,siblings,aunt,uncle) older and get notarised
by any attorney/magitrate.The following is the format.
************************************************** ********
AFFIDAVIT REGARDING BIRTH
I __________________ (name) being the _________________ (relationship father, mother, sister, brother, aunt, uncle), to ______________ (FN name), reside at ___________________ (address, including country), do hereby solemnly affirm and state on oath as follows:
I declare that _________________ is my (son/daughter/brother/sister/niece/
nephew). He/She was born on __(Date)_____ in (town, country) and that ______________ (father’s name) is his/her father and _____________ (mother’s name) is his/her mother.
______________________________

AFFIDAVITS MUST BE PROVIDED BY TWO (2) BLOOD RELATIVES, (MOTHER, FATHER, AUNT, UNCLE), AND THIS DOCUMENT MUST BE WITNESSED AND STAMPED BY AN ADVOCATE/NOTARY FOR THE GOVERNMENT OF YOUR COUNTRY.
************************************************** ********
Note :
whatever be the case,combined affidavit will not work.Please ask any two of ur blood relations to give them individually.in my case My dad gave me one affidavit and my aunt gave me one affidavit,coz my mom was in usa that time with me.please check with ur lawyer.this format was 2months old format.i got it done in May 2007.
2 question).Name spelling mispelt in birth certificate needs a combined affidavit from parents and notarised.
Please check with ur lawyer too,
Goodluck,

I believe the USCIS counts only applications they have recieved. In other words even if there is a 140 approved but the person is not able to file a 485 then his application would not count. I think they log in the applications when they send out the reciept notices and then log them out when approved. As such I think even pending EAD and AP applications would be counted as cases.
However some clarification would be definitely nice.
I want to point out however that there are many cases of 140 approvals who for whatever reason are not active or transferring to another petition.
The BECs have completed a little over half of the cases to date. They are moving quite fast in the last few weeks. Recently a colleagues application filed in May 2004 got approved, within 3 weeks mine filed on the same day with the same lawyer was also approved (atleast online status check). As such I feel that atleast those that filed with RIRs will be done by the end of the year and those with traditional labours will be done by next year. Now that last point is what gives me the chills. Those are the really old PDs and until we get a feel for how many of them are still active and how many are legit and how many of those are used for Labour Subs etc, we will not get a handle on the size of this problem.
At the very least we can double the number of pending petitions at 485 stage. Also atleast about 30-40k of those with background checks pending are probably EB based. So It would be a guesstimate but there may be about 300K or so back log of visa numbers needed. However of those a disproportionate number would be EB India. I would conservatively say a third. All guessowrk of course.

Folks :
Thanks for all the replies that you guys have been posting to this thread. On one hand I am happy that I am not alone facing this issue at the same time I am sad that we all are having to deal with this issue.
Anyways, what I have learned so far based on my research is that the reason USCIS was rejecting my application was because they wanted to figure out if I qualify for the fee waiver based on the July 30, 2007 rule. The I-485 receipt notice apparently depicts the fee paid to USCIS and hence is an easy way for someone to tell if they qualify for that.
Apparently, the personnel screening the applications at the USCIS Phoenix Lock Box have been told to use the I-485 receipt notice to figure out if the correct fee has been provided with the application. So if the I-485 receipt notice is missing (as it is for some of us), they don't know how to determine if the correct fee has been provided or not. Apparently, they can't go into the system and pull our I-485 records to check (or perhaps they don't want to). That's the reason they reject the application with those two seemingly unrelated reasons.
I have eFiled this time and hence I have bypassed that screening in some ways. My application should not be rejected due to this anymore (theoritically). I called USCIS up again later to request a duplicate I-485 receipt notice and they told me that I should not be needing it anymore as my I-765 (eFiled) has been accepted. So we'll wait and see.
I am now planning to request expedited processing of my application. For an expedited processing to be approved, it needs to satisfy atleast one of the following criteria according to USCIS...
1) Severe financial loss to company or individual
2) Extreme emergent situation
3) Humanitarian situation
4) Nonprofit status of requesting organization in furtherance of the cultural and social interests of the United States
5) Department of Defense or National Interest Situation (Note: Request must come from official United States Government entity and state that delay will be detrimental to our Government)
6) USCIS error
7) Compelling interest of USCIS
I feel I am fall under the point 1) and point 6). The IO that I talked to over the phone told me to write to USCIS with appropriate documentation.
At this time, I would like to learn from you guys if anyone of you have applied for expedited processing, what criteria did you apply under and what was your experience with it.
Further, I would appreciate if you guys comment on the reason that I plan to apply under...Do guys think it will work?
Thanks!

The law finds an immigrant petion only when one applies via I130 (family based immigrant petition" or I140 (employment based immigrant petition). Only filing of IMMIGRANT PETITION would constituate a violation of one's non-immigrant intent and status.
I understand that I-140 petition is violation of F1. Is this correct? If yes, why not reject I-140?

I think you can get a letter from employer stating that they can not employ you any more. I am not sure if they issue a letter to every person that loses the job. Just make sure that your intention to work with the sponsering employer is documented somehow .
I have an idea here ... just write an email to your boss or HR stating "how good company has been to you and how they helped you with your immigration process and given a choice you would rather work with the same company"
Take a printout of all these emails and save them if you still have a chance. You can use all these to prove if you run into any problems during the naturalization process.
Apart from these things collect the news paper clips or company wide emails that talk about downsizing. These things should help you to prove your intentions if there is a query about your intentions at the time of naturalization.
If you think company will survive for 5 or 10 more years , just keep in touch with your HR
I got a letter saying they can not give me my job back dated 5 days after my approval.
I show up told them I was approved, they say sorry we have not sold anything on those 3 months, we are doing bad, cannot take you back.
They dont have any problems with it and I can wait 10 years to become a citizen if that is what it takes.

Thanks eb3India, You are very right.
nobody complains about somebody getting green card getting in six months, infact I know somebody who got green card from india onmployment basis, the problem is people who have waited for 6 years or longer feels the pinch, because
they have followed the law just like the guy who got in 6 months , and they see no light at the end of the tunnel, and frustration to certain degree amounts to anger.
chilllllllll enjoy the system, this is how the system works, like it or not.
thanks

As far as H-1, I don't understand: wont you need an H-1 transfer from your new employer, in that case the 3 yr extension will come from him, so it shouldnt matter if your old employer revokes I-140, since anyway you are planning to restart gc process.
Yes I do need the transfer from new employer but the original extension of H1B beyond six years is granted because I have an approved I140. I was wondering if revoking that I140 has any effect on the H1b too.
To give more specifics: six years of h1b will be completed in Feb �07. PERM labor is approved and lets say if I140 is approved by Jan, my plan is to do one of two things:
(i) Immediately apply for 3 year extension of H1B from present employer. Wait until it�s approved � the new H1b is valid until Feb �10. After approval apply for h1b transfer. Is this possible? After the transfer if original I140 is revoked, I assume UCSIS is not going to recall my h1b. Am I right? The extended h1b period is with me to keep � is my understanding right?
(ii) After the approval of I140 (say in Jan), I will apply for h1b transfer and extension with new employer (extension based on the fact that I have an approved I140 and that priority date is not current). The hitch here is the approved I140 is from a different employer than the one asking for h1b extension. Is this possible? (I know that one year extension based on pending labor is not tied to which employer applied for the labor; is this rule same for approved I140 related extension?). What is effect of I140 revoke on this case?
Thanks a bunch.

I find Ron Gotcher's website very informative. It�s your choice not to read or to disagree with the speculative part, but he definitely is doing a fantastic job of educating the immigration community by answering the simplest of questions. I don�t care if this is a marketing tool for him, but I get a huge relief on the verge of getting laid off, when he quotes from the law-book to assure me that it�s ok to be unemployed after AOS. He takes the time to do that for me. There are not too many out there doing the same!
(just don�t jump on me yet saying that there are other attorneys out there answering the same question, as I just said it as an example)

I think over this issue several times (my kids are of this age).
A person (Indian) with green card marrying to an Indian Citizen (whether in Indian or on H1 Visa or on F1 Visa) offers no help but adds misiries to spouse and family.
Somtimes I think, it to be a pressure technique - hey now you have GC and you are unmarried - so marry American (or GC holder) and contribute to growth and well being of those who are already in US.
My 2 cents on this situation.

There are two different things. (i) Intention to commit immigration fraud by mis-representing facts; (ii) Intention to immigrate.
By returning from the US after your trip, you have proved (ii) to be false (i.e., you did not have intention to immigrate at least at that time). However, that evidence does not prove (i) to be false.
Yes, it is a requirement for issuing F-1.
Good question, and I do not know the answer. What you say may be true. Please consult a qualified attorney (or ask your brother to consult one).
Yes. The IO should have access to all prior and pending immigration related activities associated with you.
It should not affect your I-130, but again, I am not a lawyer and you seem to need reliable answers (i.e., you need to consult a lawyer).
Yes, H1-B is dual-intent. I.e., you do not need to prove non-immigration intent for getting an H1-B stamp.
I am not familiar about I-130 that much. If I-130 is similar to I-140, then it is okay to leave US while it is pending. However, if you file I-485, then you must have Advanced Parole before leaving US. Again, a question for a lawyer.
Thank you for your response raysaikat! I really appreciate your time and patience. One more question. Will it be "ok" in the eyes of USCIS if I don't go back home after my education process is over but apply for H1B visa instead?

Good question - based on what I am reading on this forum, it seems to me like the RFE is requested for people who travel a lot in and out of the country. My wife has traveled a lot of times - I even lost track in the last 5 years - and she did tell me that they did not take her I-94. It would be still attached to the passport and when she enters back - if the travel time was less than 20 days, the officer discarded her new I-94 and asked her to keep the old I-94 - in some cases, he/she would just take it during entry. This happens mostly when she travels to Mexico or South America. The evidence that was being requested is the dates of travel and type of visa used to enter the country with the required documented evidence on the passport (color copy).
In my scenario, most of my stay in US, was limited to the stay period mentioned in my VISA though I-94 was given for longer period. There was one instance when I-94 date was given for a longer period than Visa expiry and I stayed till my i-94 date though visa expired. For this particular stay, when I look at the US Entry and Exit dates it would say as if I overstayed though legally allowed and only way to prove that would be the I-94 copy. I dont have the copy of that I-94...
Just kind of wondering how to handle this particular scenario... Any ideas/suggestions...

Why do you guys have such a hard time believing....
Law says what it says
Visa bulletin has the notce
Berkleybee isn't saying anything in that conversation with DOS which isn't already covered by the law or the note in 2005 visa bulletin.
Still; everyone is thinking it is a mistake and it is going to get current in 3 to 4months?
The cynic in me believes that everyone thinks it is just a matter of time before it becomes current or there is significant movements in dates. This is dead wrong. All one needs to do is look at data coming out from backlog processing centers; amount of 245i labors; statistics on how many people have come on h-1b; l-1's, b visas, f visas, amont of perm labor approvals; amount of greencards approved over the last five years.
It is going to be a very, very long time before there is significant movement in dates.
The cynic in me thinks Berkleybee posted it in immigration.com so that people may now get the message the dates aren't going to move. They aren't going to move significantly next year either. There is TOO many people going for greencards.
As long as people think that the dates are going to move, then they sit on the fence and don't do much to get rid of retrogression.
I am sure if people could get convinced that in current environment; visa dates will never get current then people may have some urgency in participating to get rid of retrogression.
UN,
I have strong belief on your postings. Don�t know about Berkleybee�
I am from India EB3. I strongly believe that we can change this system, after all it is human made, outdated and obviously not suitable for current scenario.
So realistically what we can do about this, if so what would be the approach.

As long as people think that the dates are going to move, then they sit on the fence and don't do much to get rid of retrogression.
I am sure if people could get convinced that in current environment; visa dates will never get current then people may have some urgency in participating to get rid of retrogression.
UN,
I have strong belief on your postings. Don�t know about Berkleybee�
I am from India EB3. I strongly believe that we can change this system, after all it is human made, outdated and obviously not suitable for current scenario.
So realistically what we can do about this, if so what would be the approach.

We submitted our EAD application in June first week and we got our card this week, effective from last week of July for the next one year.
Our priority date is October 2006- EB2 and we are not current. So shouldnt we have been issued a 2 year EAD?
Also we gave our finger prints last year (July 2007 filer) but this time too both the EAD cards shows no FP available .
The EAD card of my spouse (he is the primary applicant says signature waived) I still have signature on my EAD card. Anyone else with the card that says signature waived. Previous card had his signature in there.
I heard that's the way it should be from Aug 1st... :confused:
Someone advise...

If possible, speak to the attorney directly - try not to believe the paralegals unless they have your utmost trust.
