I believe the only reason EB visa numbers have gone unused in recent years is due to the the inability of FBI in completing namecheck/background check in a timely FIFO fashion. As a result USCIS is unable to approve pending I485s even when the visa numbers are available. This also keeps the VISA BULLETIN doors closed for new I485s.
This (besides labor backlog) spoils the FIFO for GCs.
Fixing FBI security check process will end such visa bulletin fiasco. I believe in recent year or two USCIS has processed various applications (including I485) in a very timely fashion (ofcourse there are exceptions). But many I485s get stuck in the security check bottleneck. Since, visa number is assigned at the approval time the whole FIFO goes to hell.
DOS should be issuing VISA BULLETIN based on pending approvable I485 (meaning security check complete) and fiscal year visa availability. If former is smaller than latter then bulletin dates should move forward based on approved I140s which have not applied for AOS. This is not rocket science but simple math which is lost on DOS, USCIS & FBI.
However, fixing FBI security checks (timely completion) will restore FIFO once labor backlog is gone.
Eliminating FBI delays will restore FIFO and stop such visa bulletin fiascos.
It will not solve retrogression which is a bigger problem, but requires congressional action for number increases
BTW my AOS is pending due to indefinite background check delay.

Oh God!!
How can we stop these EB2I - EB3I fights?
What unites us? Only in our fights for superiority?
I have no intension to fight. I am only asking for list of such Immigrants and made it big. It will be good talking points.

My AP was approved for multiple trips. So I can use the 2 stamped AP as many times as I want. The officer told me that when I use the APs for my next trip then they are going stamp the same APs again. And that I will not need to submit anything on my next trip. It would be advisable to keep some photocopies of the AP just in case they ask for a copy.
I guess AP works like I-20s. When I came to the U.S. for the first time, the INS officer took one copy of my I-20 and stamped the other copy and gave it to me. I carried the same stamped I-20 multiple times to get into the U.S. They stamped on the same I-20 every time I got in.

Hi,
I am in the same situation. I just got the tracking number from my lawyer for the fedex that he had sent on June 30 and he has sent it to Dallas . I live and work in California. I went through the Direct Filing press release and the USCIS link :
http://www.uscis.gov/portal/site/uscis/menuitem.5af9bb95919f35e66f614176543f6d1a/?vgnextoid=eb7b5cdc2c463110VgnVCM1000004718190aRCR D&vgnextchannel=fe529c7755cb9010VgnVCM10000045f3d6a1 RCRD
and now I am confused as to whether my lawyer did the right thing or its ok to send the application to Dallas??
Anyone any thoughts???
Here is my opinion. I read in some posts that they will redirect the document internally to the correct processing center. The direct filing rule comes into effect on July 30th and they may be strict about filing center after that. As I said this is my opinion. Let me see if I can find the official answer in USCIS site.

Given the Current receipting situation at NSC this sounds like a Dream story and definitely an exception. By the way - whoever got this and enjoying FIFO i would want to Congratulate him/her - I'm very happy for that chap.
But just few stray good cases can't make me say that CIS following FIFO :D
Congratulations but I was wondering if you are more an exception then a rule...:confused:

Dude it is pretty clear you dont belong here. If you joined a body-shop that replaced americans with cheap bodies then your employer violated the law and you were a willing accomplice. You are no better than an illegal alien. No wonder you are so scared of being replaced by yet another cheap body ! IV does not represent people like you.

I Used their tool but sent the folllowing message
Greetings. My name is XXXXXXXXXXXXX. I
am a citizen of India and have been living in the United States for close
to 7 years on a H1b visa and work as a Senior Software Consultant catering
to various Ammerican clients and my employer is located in Irving, Texas.
My Green Card petition was filed by my employer under the EB2 category and
my I 140 petition has been approved, but I am unable to file for i485
(Adjustment of Status) because visa numbers are not available. My wife is
also on a H1b visa and is a first year resident physician at a Community
Hospital in Brooklyn, New York on a H1b visa.
Based on the fact that we have been law abiding tax paying legal
immigrants, we would like to reach out to you and let you know our issues.
Our main issue is career stagnation. Unavilability of visa number
(retrogression) locks us up with the same employer for years together and
does not allow us to grow careerwise and unable to make critical and life
decisions.
We duly understand that there is a 7% per country upper limit when
Visa numbers are allocated and the fact that India and China has been over
subscribed. These caps and limits are hurting us. STRIVE ACT and SKIL
Bill have provisions to raise the cap and we would like to support these
bills and the provisions.
High tech and health care are sectors where highly skilled immigrants
from all over the world are attracted to and want to contribute in the
best ways we can to pursue our American dream. We would like to contribute
to the growth and development of America in the best possible way. Please
support us and help us in our cause.
Sincerely,
XXXXXXXXXXX

fellow legal immigrations - this is my first posting on immigrationvoice.
i have been following this site very closely and first of all let me congratulate the IV team - you are all doing a terrific job!
now, i have read a lot of threads where employees say their employers do not give them the I-140 receipt numbers or the approved I-140s. this is sick! this is worse than bonded labor. employers with good ethics do not play such dirty tricks. this just plain sucks :mad:
clearly, there are rules from the uscis itself that you can port your priority date to another firm as long as your labor + 140 have been approved. so NOBODY has the moral right to withhold your 140 or labor approvals. i keep hearing that "140 belongs to the company" .. good.. but what the heck does that mean ? does that mean there are laws that permit PD porting but in a way you cannot really do that coz certain companies are not willing to give u the approved 140s?... is this FAIR ? or is it time to put this as another ACTION ITEM to make it illegal for companies to withold 140 from their employees especially if they want to switch jobs ??? something to chew on...
peace!

The AC 21 does not say anything about the salary part in the Section 106(c). But it is a guideline issued by the Director to USCIS officers on how to interpret AC 21 Section 106(c).
You could find the salary details from www.flcdatacenter.com.
I hope this helps and good luck on your greencard chase.

- I had I-485 application receipt (or take a copy if you do not have the original) just in case (I did not need it, but why not!).

My question is: Can you continue to work for employer B while employer A files future employment I-485 and can we use AC-21 after 180 days without being employed with employer A?
