Folks:
I am one of the frustrated ones under EB-3 (India) with a PD of Jul 2003. My case is as follows:
I had 3.5 years of experience + MBA from India when I joined the current Job in 2001.
I applied for my GC in 2003 and the lawyer said since my MBA was not relevant for the current job (software engineer) and since my experience before the current job was less than 5 years, I should apply EB-3.
Currently, I have 11 years of experience (out of which 7.5 is with the current employer from whom I have applied for GC) and I have moved to Business Development that uses my MBA quals.
Can I change to EB-2? What do I need to do? What are the risks?
Any/all pointers will be appreciated
Karthik,
(I am not expert) but I believe , you have to refile (New application) under EB2 catagory and port the EB3 date to EB2.

Are these for real? It was 5 months a couple of days ago. Also the USCIS Processing Times (https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/ptimes.jsp) page is offline since yesterday.

I would definetely be able to help in getting in touch with Ravi. My dad used to work as Information Officer in the NRI ministry.
I will keep the group updated.
Also to be really frank I don't see any help from Indian politians, but let's give it a try.

unfortunately you can't speak to anyone over the 1-800# at the Service Centre. Your boss/employer only has to call the service centre and follow up as to what is happening with the case..otherwise you r losing each day with no result...
either the RFE is complicated for which your boss doesnt want to callup INS r what follow up with them..if i94 expires beyond 240 days you will be in more trouble

Hello guys,
......................
4. PIO card has the passport number of my son on it...the passport will expire when he is five year old. So do I get a new passport number? If so what happens to the PIO card? Do I need to get a new one?
.............
Thanks
Yes, a new passport ( from one of the US embassies in India). I don't think it is a new PIO card, but the new passport number will be 'annotated' in the Passport ( Indian embassies in US charge $20 for that ).

Absolutely, D70... looks like a good camera and nice features, but uglier then a hat full of spiders. It looks like the sigma! bit more effort in the body design department wouldn't have gone astray. Its the Volvo of the DSLR world.

My wife's ead expires on 10/02/2010 and we applied for renewal first week of july 2010. Notice date is 16th July 2010. On august 25th wife faxed documents requesting to expedite her ead based on the fact that she wld lose her job and health insurance otherwise.
We also requested a letter from the congressman to help expedite and his office sent a letter to the uscis director 2 days ago saying that my wife thinks that its past processing time. We had clearly stated in the letter addressed to congressman that expedite request is based on the fact that she wld lose employment if not expedited on time. We did not expect this kind of reply from congressman office...
Can my wife's expedite request be denied because of the congressman's letter? What can we do now to assure that her ead renewal is expedited? She is expecting and is in the last trimester. We have insurance thro her employer which will be gone if ead not renewed on time.
Any positive suggestions please?

I don't think they will accept matriculation certificate as primary evidence. Since the birth certificate is initial evidence, you should contact your lawyer ASAP.
well..lawyer told me its a birth evidence and we can send BC later...seems like he may be looking for employers benefits..anyone knows if its OK..otherwise I may have to redo the medicals

Maybe USCIS loves me.
I have a friend whose priority date is March 2005 and he got his GC in Aug 2008.
Good for you. Please do continue to provide your support to this community.

You should be allocated a visa number if nothing is wrong with your application... If its quite old as it looks to be, they may issue an RFE for EVL.. and you can respond asap and still be optimystic.. Chances are high that you'll get a Visa number assigned to you if the quota doesn't finish in the first week of March... Actual approval can come months later even if the PD has retrogressed...
So chill and prepare for EVL or straight approval...
Name check is irrelevant now.. Its 180 days from when FBI name check was initiated.. Its normally around your Notice Date...
Though my PD is quite old , I didn't get to my I-140 filing until Jan 2007 thanks to the labor certification backlog hell. It was filed premium and approved in Jan 07 itself. And also my I-485 was filed in last week of July. So the information USCIS has is kind of recent. And I have stayed with the same employer so far (One of world's well reputed & largest IT company)
I hope they look at these facts and dont bother sending an RFE or EVL and send me the straight approval ! (Fingers crossed and touch wood and whatever else !)

To be frank, I was not aware of this loophole used by L1s so it came as a shock to me when I came to know of it. Anyways complaining will not take us far, action will. I will call my lawmakers. Does anyone have a list of lawmakers based on state or city.
Thank you ss_col.
This thread has lots of information about calling lawmakers:

Wish we would not getinto United States Civics discussions and concentrate on Increasing memberships and contributing.
Dont forget the goal....there are a lot of hurdles ahead as pointed out by Sen Durbin and elk already
To have a meaningful discussion / resolution to our problems we should be aware of the process.
We SHOULD have discussions on United States civics. If we are trying to become permanent residents of this country, we need to learn about the political process.
