Unfortunately, I can't leave the US for the following reasons
a) AOS pending
b) H1 expiring soon
c) Won't get any vacation time as just joined a new job.
I am in a similar situation. My 8th year H1B expired in May. 9th Year extension is pending. No receipt yet on 485/EAD/AP for Julay 2nd filing.
Fortunately my license is expiring next year.

Employment Based (EB) Green Card (GC) Laws
The yearly GC quota is 140K. This includes GC for spouse and children. On an average, GCs are given to ~60K families.
Each country is allotted 7% (of 140K) GCs (equally distributed among EB-1, EB-2 and EB-3). Each country gets 9800 GCs (~4K families) + unused GCs (in the last quarter) from other countries, if any.
GCs unused in a year can not be reused in following years. There were 376, 345 unused GCs from 1992-2005 (page 34); 50K were recaptured for Schedule A from 01-04 and 107, 586 were recaptured for family based.
The Citizenship and Immigration Services (CIS) Ombudsman Annual Report 2007 (http://www.dhs.gov/xlibrary/assets/CISOMB_Annual_Report_2007.pdf) estimates (page 35) the submission of 500K-750K (yes 500K+) AOS applications between June 1 and August 17 2007.
There were ~1M pending AOS applications as of March’07. (pages 11 and 14 of Ombudsman's report)
USCIS can not determine the exact number of pending applications and a breakdown of pending applications by number of months pending and application type. Further, USCIS is not making any effort to determine these numbers. (page 13 of Ombudsman's report)
Administrative Delays
USCIS is 90% funded by application fees and is short of resources.
So far EAD renewal has been taking ?? months. With the additional applications it will take ?? months and we will have to apply for renewal after ?? months.
FBI name checks may be the single biggest obstacle to the timely and efficient delivery of immigration benefits. (page 37 of Ombudsman's report)
As of May 2007, USCIS had 329,160 pending name check cases, with approximately 64 percent (211,341) of those cases pending more than 90 days and approximately 32 percent (106,738) pending more than one year. (page 37 of Ombudsman's report)
The backlog appears likely to get worse, because the August USCIS fee increase has prompted a 50 percent rise in new naturalization applications so far this year.(Washington Post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=85213&postcount=365))
USCIS has limited capability to produce reports detailing the status of long-pending name check cases. In addition, USCIS systems do not automatically indicate when a delayed name check is complete and the case can be adjudicated. Often, this leads to a situation where the validity of other checks expire before USCIS reviews the case. Those other checks then need to be reinitiated, adding financial and time costs for applicants and USCIS. (page 43 of Ombudsman's report)
Since 2001 FBI has intensified the scrutiny of immigrants with high-technology backgrounds. (Washington Post (http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showpost.php?p=85213&postcount=365))
What does it mean?
There will be 1.4M+ AOS applications by Aug 17 which will take 1.4M/140K = 10+ years. Thus, priority dates will remain retrogressed for several years.
Those who could not file AOS will wait for several years.
EAD/AP is valid for 1 year: long cycle of EAD/AP renewals.
If your EAD is not renewed in time, you will have to stop working,
Several employers (and rightly so) view EAD as a temporary permit and are reluctant to hire you.
You need to be in the same position with same job responsibilities for an indefinite time period otherwise your GC application will be rejected.
If you were unmarried at the time of filing, you will need to continue on current status (e.g. H-1B) otherwise you cannot bring your spouse.
Executive and Legislative Efforts
The only solution is to change laws to increase EB GC numbers.
EB Immigration reform does not have enough support in Congress (failure of SKILL, STEM, ...). As a matter of fact, it does not even get enough support to make it debatable, let alone final voting.

Despite making several valid points, USCIS is merely delaying the inevitable and, in effect, increasing the cost to the agency to process these cases. The cost to complete the current backlog of over 800,000 I-130 petitions is more than $225 million today, based on USCIS� cost estimates explained in its proposed fee rule. Because applicants paid for these petitions when they were submitted in previous years, their payments do not cover today�s costs or future USCIS costs to process them. Each year that processing is delayed the cost to USCIS will increase if for no other reason than to account for inflation. Thus, the fact that USCIS can process each of these petitions to conclusion now and chooses by policy not to do so is fiscally unwise.
In addition, the impact on beneficiaries is significant. By statute, certain approved petitions terminated by the petitioner�s death are reinstated for humanitarian reasons for the petitioner�s beneficiaries.27 By USCIS not approving I-130 petitions in a timely manner, beneficiaries cannot benefit from this important humanitarian exception.

That one phrase in your LC requirement could turn out to be a life saver for you. Can you further clarify the educational/experience requirements mentioned in LC. Was it Masters or equivalent with zero experience OR Bachelors with 5 yrs of progressive experience? Your educational evaluation should meet atleast one of the requirements mentioned in the LC. Either Masters or Bachelors + 5 yrs exp. I think for your educational background (non 4 yr BS degree), I feel more comfortable with getting the evaluation done to satisfy the BS + 5 yrs requirement rather than going for Masters equivalent. NSC is known to be strict w.r.t 3 yr BS degree when it comes to EB-2 cases. However, since your initial evaluation showed you as holding a masters equivalent, I am not sure if its a good idea now to try to defend your case with BS + 5 yrs equivalence. A good attorney would be able to guide you through with this. I also suggest you to consult any reputed attorney regarding this and get feedback on your company attorney's plans and not just blindly follow what your company attorney says.
This dude DOES NOT have a Bachelors Degree. He menstions that he has a 3-Year Diploma (not a 3 Year Degree Course like B.Sc, or BCA). So, his chances are slim. He was probably hired by a desi shyster who promised him a greencard in return for subsistence wages.

Sure, your point is very much valid. What I understand from the Freakenomics experiment and EB3I behavior with respect to IV is that only a few folks have the perseverance to go all the way from D to B.
Take 100 folks with C grade and give them the $50 offer for B. May be 80% will reach that goal. (I do not recall the actual results of the experiment).
Take 100 folks with D grade and give them the $50 offer for B. Ideally we should see 80% of folks improving their grade to a C (one level up). But in real life only may be half as much (40%) will actually improve their grades to a C.
An important difference here is, no matter how many participate in this campaign in DC, we all move up a grade at some point.
We will all move a few years sooner if we try, and years later if nobody tries anything. (But we will still move!)
Folks just need to decide: what's more preferable? Slower of faster?

GO home and stand in front of a mirror and ask yourself if your 3 year degree and a masters bought for 4k will get you a greencard in eb2.
That is what exactly I am trying to find. Not in front of a mirror. But searching in forums where I might get correct answer.
It is not about 4K Masters or 14K Masters.
I am looking for information on what credentials does USCIS look for when evaluating Masters degree. Is it the Accredition of the University, reputation of the University, Length of the degree.
I just need a well thought-out answer.
I can get Masters from well reputed south african university for well below 4K. OR there are diploma mills who sells masters for 8K which are of no worth at all.
Why r u guys looking at the cost of the degree. Give a thought about why USCIS might deny I-140 when one applies with an US Masters Degree.
If USCIS does not accept Masters Degree from Aspen which is (Nationally Accredited by DETC). then USCIS might not accept Masters Degree from any university which are acrredited by DETC..
Let me know if I am thinking anything wrong..

You said Labor do says BS+5 year Exp. is OK.
If nothing comes up...Check if your original employer files New I140 to consider you in EB3 instead of EB2 using same labor.
digging through my old documents now.
I was mistaken reading the labor cert application. It did say "we accept BS + 5 years progressive experience".
I am 3 year Eng diploma + 1 year Eng post Diploma + 10 year exp in India + 5year Exp in US before filing Labor Cert .
I do have a copy of the Educational evaluation used by my old attorney which says US master equivalent.
As one member pointed out , there is a possibility that my original employer might have sent a letter saying Labor cert has mistakes but I have no way to confirm that . Or it could that the Officer is just trying to find any small thing to make the case deny.
I am digging all my old docs to give it to my attorney and see what he is going to day .
Thanks for all the support folks .

just a few years back the masters quota would take till aug to fill up , and this time it went in to lottery , i wonder how :rolleyes:
It's not surprising. The EB system is so slow that there is demand from spouses of H holders for H1 either before or after an MS. This is new demand that in earlier years did not exist due to people getting EADs fairly quickly. Also add to that the production of MS degrees by the universities locally and the growth of the economy in this decade. The demand for the H1 are only a symptom of clogged EB system.

This is not good. My PERM labor is stuck in Atlanta, I was hoping to apply I-140 pp since my 6th year H1 is expiring Dec, 07. If I can get my I-140 approved then I'll have to leave.
1. If your labor was filed in Nov 06 or earlier then you can file for 7th year extension (based on rule that labor pending for more than 365 days)
2. I'm not 100% sure but i think when your labor is approved if PDs are current, you can file i-140, 485, EAD together and get EAD by before your visa expires and you would be fine.
3. Labor substitution will not be allowed after July 17th, and there are a lot approved labors whose beneficiaries have left the company. Employers are willing to use these labors for whatever they get (excuse me!). If you really want to stay in US, find an approved labor with PD older than Nov 06 and then file I140/485/EAD, if you don't get EAD by Dec 07 then file 7th year ext based on the GC pending more than 365 days. Hurry up for labor..

H1B has become synonym for visa abuse bcoz of these moron's. I hope the system comesout clean.
Rather than targeting small H1 consulting companies...they have to target big IT firms with thousands of L1 visa. Thats bigger then the H1Bs...There is only 65K H1B per years. No one knows how many L1 visa they are issuing every year and there is no accountability.
Also the wage is too low.

I would strongly suggest, people refrain from using words like injustice, etc., Injustice implies the US govt is doing something wrong, when they are not. Such accusations do not reflect well on us and are unlikely to benefit in any meaningful way.
Desis are impacted because we are just so many of us. No other reason. Keep in mind that we are still walking away with the bulk of green cards each year, far above the stipulated Quota.
The Green card system exists for the benefit of America. It will not be tailored to meet the individual needs of overpopulated countries. All we can do is request them to improve the system and make it easier for applicants. Taking the aggressive approach of accusations, demanding for change, asking for more, etc., will not work.
When there is a overflow, I strongly feel that it should flow to all the categories and that is called equality. Some inefficient people in Decision making authority at USCIS framed a rule on visa overflow and they are following it. If the rule is not much logical/ethical to most of the people, then anyone can voice their rights against it.
Just for example, a team consists of one project manager(EB1), two tech leads(EB2) and 6 Developers(EB3). The demand is based on no. of vacancies exists on the market, that means a lot of EB3, less EB2 and few EB1.
As per this rule, USCIS is not actually feeding the hungry.
Regarding the country quota, US is not favoring/helping the foreign countries by giving GC to those people from them. So, it makes no sense at all when it comes to immigrants but I can understand the bureaucracy behind it.
If they are implementing the country limit then it should be like 0.00001% of that country's population, I feel.

If you have plans to travel...could you go to the local INS office and get the AP??.AP is very important too if you are travelling
Simple answer is NO. The local offices do not have this authority. Just have to wait for the USCIS wheels to move along at their own pace before you can travel.

Guys,
First of all, please be decent to each other. Now, to the PBEC issue - this is a major problem, and a huge issue for all of us. Currently, the debate in Senate/Congress is centered around Immigration reform and this is a definitely a good time to raise these issues.
There are a few things we should strive for:
1. Keep all provisions of Specter's bill related to EB.
2. Re-instate per country soft limit.
If both of these provisions are passed, Priority dates for all countries will be current in EB2 and will rapidly move in EB3. A lot of folks in PBEC might be able to use PERM to apply another labor and priority dates will loose their importance, so it is important that these provisions pass.
This is just the kind of disingenuous logic we do not want. To suggest that folks stuck at PBEC should just file PERM is (a) just like asking people to drink coke instead of tackling water scarcity (b) reflective of the ignorance of the situation faced by many stuck at PBEC.
Note that IV has a stated goal of solving the BEC issue (6th listed goal on the homepage). The goal is not to make light of the BEC problem by using apparently simple but false logic; the goal is to resolve the BEC mess.
Do not try to play down what is important to others and hijack the agenda to suit your problems. We have all come together behind each of the stated goals of IV. Let's keep it that way.

If both of these provisions are passed, Priority dates for all countries will be current in EB2 and will rapidly move in EB3. A lot of folks in PBEC might be able to use PERM to apply another labor and priority dates will loose their importance, so it is important that these provisions pass.
This is just the kind of disingenuous logic we do not want. To suggest that folks stuck at PBEC should just file PERM is (a) just like asking people to drink coke instead of tackling water scarcity (b) reflective of the ignorance of the situation faced by many stuck at PBEC.
Note that IV has a stated goal of solving the BEC issue (6th listed goal on the homepage). The goal is not to make light of the BEC problem by using apparently simple but false logic; the goal is to resolve the BEC mess.
Do not try to play down what is important to others and hijack the agenda to suit your problems. We have all come together behind each of the stated goals of IV. Let's keep it that way.

These USINPAC folks are shameless creatures who will take credit for the sun shining tomorrow morning. Lets send this guy Sanjay Puri, Robinder Sachdev and his fraudsters team a dictionary so that he knows how to spell IMMIGRATION correctly even if he has some malicious thoughts and actions in his mind. All they are good at is to do photo oppotunities and do these frauds where they claim to have worked or be working on an issue. I can also do the fund raisers and get photos taken. But there is where it stops with USINPAC. The politicians walk away with the money and turn their back on them and these guys start looking for the next politician to do a fund raiser for and get photo opportunity. How much more foolish can this get?
I agree with you 100%. I think Anti-Immigrants like NumbersUSA and Tom Tancredo is better than USINPAC. For Anti-immigrants atleast we know where they stand and we know what to expect from them. usinpac is the worst kind of disease for the community where they can trick you anytime and you will not even know when they are stabbing you at your back. They just want to do photo-ops and claim the credit for the things they didn't even know. I live in VA and most people in Indian community in northern VA know about the inside story of these scamster. Initially a few lawmakers got the impression that usinpac represent the Indian American community, maybe that is what the con-artist at this org conveyed to a few lawmakers. Now everybody in DC area, including the lawmakers, know the truth about this group. A journalist friend in MD told me that even press and reporters know about this totally useless org called usinpac.
It is one thing if they do something and then claim credit for doing it. The problem is first of all they claim to represent entire Indian American community; on top of that they do not do anything about the any issue including green card issue. But when they see something happening they will try to take ownership of anything moving and will try to make a show that things are moving because of them. Just as in this case, all the members of IV sent flowers and these guys are releasing press release to tell to the world that they are the once doing this drive. Such press release from them is extremely damaging as the basic intent of the ENTIRE flower campaign was o draw media attention. In this case usinpac did not spare all the people spending days and nights to coordinate, Nixtor and English_august and thousands of people who sent flowers. How can someone stoop so low? Now they want to get media attention and that is why they have sneaked in this press release. IV core must come clean on this and clearly renounce these consistent immature acts of these con-artists. This org with extremely bad reputation and we must stay as far away from them as possible.

I agree that it's really a personal choice. It's quite risky in this economy with housing prices going down. It needs a lot of reasearch and lot of thinking before you can make that decision. I don't think surveying people will help because there's lots of personal factors that can play a role in making that decision. Maybe it may help to listen to different people's decision making process. Having GC is a factor but it's not the only limiting factor. I know a lot of people who bought homes much before they filed the i-485 and i know few others who didn't and you can't blame them for their decisions.
For the record, i bought my home in 2008 and i must admit that owning a home is one of the nicer things i did in this country. We and the kids love the extra space and the luxury. My kids will be going to public school next year so will be making full use of the taxes we pay.
If you have a stable job, IMO you can buy a home and i bet you won't regret that decision. But stable job is as hard as finding a treasure these days.
