I could not understand what you mean by "NON-RIR labors were being processed first compared to the RIR ones. "
From AILA and immigration-law.com:
"AILA has reported that the BECs are still processing April 2001 traditional cases for the traditional case track and it is not expected to move ahead for sometime due to the huge number of 245(i) cases which were filed in April 2001."
I think we will not see a lot for Traditional Cases for a looong time.
My NON-RIR - PD - 04/2002 is also stuck in BEC.
Last i read was that the NON-RIR labors were being processed first compared to the RIR ones. So think twice before u take any decision.

Dude
For you to file I-485 the dates must be current, yes you can file for I-485 yourself.

I am getting this error for last two days
"Multiple duplicate SRs already exist for the customer" i tried creating different account also . any thoughts???
Received the RFE today. It was asking for my birth certificate copy & translation. My lawyer says this is very common. For me this is stupid, they already got my birth certificate copy and the translation.

I am working for a consulting firm and my 6 year H1 is expiring on March 2012. My I-140 is approved as of Dec 2008(EB3) - pd Aug 2007. I-485 not filed yet due to PD not current.
I have a fulltime offer from my client which is a global bank and so i would like to move to them
My question is I don't have I-140 approval notice, but have the receipt notice and also can print out the status on the USCIS website. Also I have my Alien #
My current employer wont give the copy of approval.
1. With this Can I apply for I-140 based 3-year transfer?
2. Also, once I get 3 years approved and join the new employer, if the old employer revokes I-140 will I be in trouble?
have not filed 485 there is no use for you of approved 140 except you can use the PD. You will have to start GC processing again with new employer.(PERM-140-485).
You should get a 3 year ext based on old employers 140.

I think it is only for Mumbai Consulate(as mentioned in VFS (http://www.vfs-usa.co.in)).
"For Mumbai consular district applicants only: Drop off your required documents three working days prior to your appointment at a VFS Application Centre in Mumbai, Pune or Ahmedabad."
No where it is mentioned that HYD consulate has started. Where did you find it?
I guess I got the link:
Consulate General of the United States Hyderabad, India - Home (http://hyderabad.usconsulate.gov/advance_doc_submission2.html)
And it says submit your documents 4 business days prior to the interview date for H or L Visa...
My family missed the deadline as they have appointment for Mon - any idea whether this will slow down the visa process for them?
Thanks

Yesterday I went to a training for immigration attorneys in Sacramento, California. The jurisdiction of the USCIS field office in Sacramento (https://egov.uscis.gov/crisgwi/go?action=offices.detail&office=SAC&OfficeLocator.office_type=LO&OfficeLocator.statecode=CA) includes the cities of Vallejo and Benicia so I thought it might be useful to hear about any new local procedures. While I did not learn anything new about what is happening at Sacramento USCIS, I did learn about new procedures being applied to applicants applying for visas abroad.
It seems that applicants who have tattoos are being screened more carefully at their medical appointments. The belief is that an individual with a tatoo may be involved in gang activity which furthermore may lead to that individual engaging in substance abuse. In a published article included in conference materials at the American Immigration Lawyers Association�s (�AILA (http://www.aila.org/)�) annual conference, immigration lawyers Fernando Rojas and Magda Montiel Davis, explain what is happening:
Panel physicians are asking applicants about the meaning of their tattoos and the medical personnel conducting the exam will take notes describing the tattoo. This interrogation could lead to further questions about the applicant�s possible gang affiliation and criminal history. Applicants with tattoos are also being questioned by the panel physician regarding their substance abuse history. Apparently, panel physicians are making the assumption that applicants with tattoos are more likely to do or abuse drugs. If the beneficiary admits to any drug use, Consulates will use this information against the applicant in order to deny the visa by making a substance abuse finding against them.A finding of substance abuse is serious because an applicant who is a drug user or abuser may be denied admission to the United States pursuant to Immigration and Nationality Act Section 212(a)(1)(A)(iv) (http://www.uscis.gov/propub/ProPubVAP.jsp?dockey=9b60c646835045a30ceca097f0ca1 ba3). I would counsel anyone carefully who has a tattoo to be very honest about what the tattoo means. An applicant should be prepared to answer in- depth questions about something that may have been inconsequential to them. In my opinion, it would not be a bad idea to have the tattoo removed if possible. Of course the fact that a person has a tattoo does not mean that he or she is a substance abuser. It is scary that examiners are making that assumption, but I do not expect this scrutiny to go away. The best practice is to be aware that this questioning is taking place and to be prepared.

Agree with Jonty on checking at http://infopass.uscis.gov...
I needed to confirm my address change.. called uscis and I was told they can't see any personal info... basically read me my status on website and a long boring standard message.. saying you are within the normal processing dates and blah blah... Bottom line I was suggested to take infopass.. so I took.. Its my first infopass appt ever and it was very easy... shown me 2 dates avaialable for Aug (nothing in July).. So I pick one and then was asked to pick a time...
I selected as a follow up on pending case...
Hopefully they'll process my AOS before that :-)
EB2-I June 2004... PD current, RD current per both NSC/TSC...
Case filed at NSC and transferred to TSC (July 23, 2008)
Keeping my fingers crossed per 50-50 probability theory :-)

I'm not familar with those adapters, but I've read of limited success.. Ranging from focus problems to using them completely as manual focus.
Assess what those lenses are worth now. That EF 28-80mm f/3.5-5.6 is worth $100 or so, new. To be honest, I don't think I would even mount it on a DSLR as the focal range isn't great and it's slow. The Sigma 100-300mm f/4.5-6.7 is worth $125. The same with this Sigma, it's a slow lens. So we are only talking about $225 in lenses, none are really worth trying to convert in my opinion.
Perhaps selling them on Ebay is in order. Buy the D70 with the 18-70 kit lens and your results are going to be much better than trying to use the converted 28-80. You will have focal range overlap anyways, another reason to just avoid trying with this lens.
Nikon sells a similar consumer 70-300mm f/4-5.6 that is faster and would work with the camera for $125. So if you could sell your two lenses and get $125, you would have the kit lens and this low-end zoom and be in much better shape than converting.
Thanks for joining our community.. Hope this helps!

Hi,
My EB2 labor PD 12/2002 is in Philadelphai backlog center. With the online backlog case status now available, I wanted to find out about my case.
However, lawyer is not giving my case number. Is there any way to find out. Gurus please help with suggestions.
Thanks
Talking to your employer is better than asking attorney.Sometimes Attorny dont respond to the candidate.

Actually, you can file 485 when your PD becomes current, even if the 140 is still pending approval. You need to submit the 140 details alongwith your 484 application.
Once a I140 is filed without the I485 one has to wait for I140 approval before being eigible for filing I485

To all the physician members of this forum....
Conrad 30 program is up for extension on march 6.
According to shusterman.com although the extension is gonna take place, they plan to make physicians exempt from employment based category as long as they work in medically underserved areas....
If this bill includes the physician clause that will be a lifesaver for a lot of people and also help in visa retrogression albeit little bit.
Hope it passes....any thoughts anyone?

So let's have premium processing in all stages?
Wonderful, why not this suggestion:
Sell GCs for 30k each, or put up on auction.
30k is achievable goal for everyone if we save money for 6 years straight. Maybe live on bread and water or something but hey, after buying the GC, can get back to living normally!
I think the premium processing idea is just money milking strategies by the respective departments who process the different stages.

Folks,
I got a RFE asking for a copy of birth certificate and bio info. I had sent my BC and bio info before while applying for 485 last august. I was hurrying up my lawyer to send the response as soon as possible.
My lawyer emailed me that since there is a spelling difference in the way my name is shown in my BC and in all other docs, I will be subject to additional security checks and there is no point in hurrying. Is this true or is my lawyer using this as a delay tactic ?
My name in my BC ends with .......iam and in all other docs ends with .....iyan. Should this cause a problem ?
Please share your thoughts and help me.

I am a freelancer and I plan to write an article for a California based Asian Newsletter about the political views of the Immigrant community.
Most EB Immigrants (now citizens) have forgotten what's it like to be an "Immigrant in a limbo". Let's remind them!! Your thoughts might inspire someone to reconsider their decisions.
I was in your shoes in the mid 90's. and I am aware that most of you are in the midst of a messy immigration process.
But, if you had an opportunity, who would you choose and why?
