can you please tell me the source of these stats? Per the DOL stats, from March 2005 to March 2007 only 130K total cases were approved:
http://www.shusterman.com/pdf/permstats407.pdf
Your stats are almost twice that number!
Those are not Labor approvals, those are Green Card approvals.

Thanks for your efforts.
My suggestion is: those who have maxed out their 6 yrs on H-1B + have atleast crossed the labor and I-140 stage; should be automatically granted the green card.
These are the people who are really stuck, because if their green card does not get approved, they have no option but to return. Also, if they lose their job they are out of options as they cannot seek another H1B extension or transfer.
Typically, these people would have young children who were born here, and go to school here. These children sing the US national anthem and pledge allegience to the flag everyday at their school. Making these people wait and wait for their green cards helps no one. They are not taking anyones jobs, they are educated, civilized people. They have proved their usefulness to their companies and the society over the past 7~8 years.
Thank you Totoro. People like you keeps the hope alive in our heart that someday justice will be done.
So far all the arguments and suggestions were really good. But Totoro seems to be looking for compelling stories. There are very depressing cases where people had to restart their GC process for no fault of their own. And some people have been here for more than 10 years still rotting in the queue hoping to get a GC and move on with their dreams to become a Citizen of this country.
However the collective compelling story is what Eternal Hope has expressed. This is exactly the situation for people from India/China.
Sure anchor babies is not a great argument for illegals cause it promotes illegal immigration. (In fact I heard in some countries Citizenship by birth only works if the parents are legals. But thats a different story.).
Let us say because of the reasons listed by Eternal Hope we are forced to go back to our home countries.
Firstly, How fair will that be for our children who are Legit Citizens of US.
These innocent kids know only US as their home. Just as much as any other US Citizen. Most of the kids can only speak english. They can barely understand their mother tongue. Point is they are just as American as any American kid.
If they are forced to go to a foreign country, far from their friends and familiar surroundings. Had the change been for the better, still they would feel they were wronged. My guess is they will hold a grudge against us, their parents, and their own country.
This to me is compelling reason, specially since I am a Democrat (sorry can't vote yet).
BTW, my moral support has always with Obama, and with Zoe Loefgren.
Many of us cried when Obama read his oath. That was the defining moment for all people who have been subjected to injustice, been told that they were not good enough because of their race or country of origin. Think about it... The Chinese and Indians having to wait so many years just to get a GC is injustice being done to a people of certain origin. Oh well!

This is really funny!
You had sent your EAD renewal to NSC and it was sent to Phoenix lock box.....
Read another post for EAD renewal that was sent to Phoenix lock box but got re-routed to NSC........
Where is the info that tells us where exactly to send them? Anyone?
Read the instructions document which comes along with the form.
:cool:
From uscis.gov:
Change of Filing Location for Form I-765, Application for Employment Authorization
WASHINGTON - U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) today announced revised filing instructions and addresses for applicants filing an Application for Employment Authorization (Form I-765). The change of filing location is part of an overall effort to transition the intake of some benefit forms from Service Centers to USCIS Lockbox facilities. Centralizing form and fee intake allows USCIS to provide the public more efficient and effective initial processing of applications and fees.
Beginning February 24, 2010 applicants must now submit Form I-765 to one of the USCIS Lockbox facilities or the USCIS Vermont Service Center, based on the classification under which they are filing. Detailed guidance can be found in updated Form I-765 instructions as well as at USCIS Home Page (http://www.uscis.gov).
The Service Centers will forward incorrectly filed applications to the USCIS Phoenix and Dallas Lockbox facilities for the first 30 days, until March 26, 2010. After March 26, 2010, applications incorrectly filed at USCIS Service Centers will be returned to the applicant, with a note to send the application to the correct location.
When filing Form I-765 at one of the USCIS Lockbox facilities, you may elect to receive an email and/or text message notifying you that your application has been accepted. You must complete an E-Notification of Application/Petition Acceptance (Form G-1145), and attach it to the first page of your application.
Form I-765 may be electronically filed (e-filed) with USCIS when submitted under certain categories. View our Web site for a list of who is eligible to e-file Form I-765.
For more information on USCIS programs, visit USCIS Home Page (http://www.uscis.gov) or call the National Customer Service Center at 1-800-375-5283.

I got the same audit and Lawyer, Employer and me have to gather all documentation.... For business necesity they asked me to prepare a letter for this with all the skills needed for the job and support why a person needs XX years of experience and XYZ skills in the job.
I received an audit as well. DOL needs docs as below. How long does audit cases take to process? Seems like my attorney missed some docs or is it common audit as he said it is a random audit?
1. The documentation listed on the following attachment supporting the
attestations made on the application
2. A copy of the submitted ETA form 9089 with original signatures in Section L(Alien declaration), Section M(declaration of preparer(if applicable)) and Section N(employer declaration)
3. Proof of business necessity as outlined by 656.17(h) if the answer for question H-12 is no, the answer for questions H-13, H-15 or H-17 are yes, or the job duties and/or requirements are beyond those defined for the job by the SOC/O* Net code and Occupation Title provided by the state work force agency.
4. Documentation required for live-in household domestic service workers as outlined by 656.19(b) if the answer to the question H-18 is yes
5. Notice of filing documentation as outlined in 656.10(d)

GC wait is a slow poison. everytime you compromise on the career front you console yourself saying it is a small thing, but when you look at it in hindsight you can see how this process chokes your career slowly. well we should think about those less fortunate than us and move on.....
I thought i was the oldest, but someone got a GC this week after 16 yrs wait. my first attempt was in 1998 sept (never filed and sat in the lawyers office for 6 months) while i was working hard. Second went into NY DOL (2001) and after 4 yrs my company shut down - labor was in backlog center. Last attempt started in 2005. Aug 11th it will be 15 yrs. Not sure what i am doing here or why i am clinging on to this. Hanging in the same field, no growth and no enthu. Most of my friends put up their citizenship oath taking pics in facebook or are back in india
we waited so long, hang in there for a few more days. hope all will be fine.

All those who answered were right! You don't have to reapply H4 for your dependants when you change employers as long as their current status is still valid. I changed employers in 2004 and didn't have to apply new H4 for my family until 2006 when their previous status expired.
On another note, one does not need a new visa stamp in passport when one changes employers until current visa stamp expires.
I hope this puts your mind at rest. You may however want to confirm this with your lawyer and post his answer.

Car Loans and Home loans are called secure loans. If you do not pay the monthly premium, they have the right to get the car or home from you. So, a person, leaving behind a car/home and going back to home country is not doing anything criminal. He is playing by the rule. Of course, these acts would shine on his/her credit report for a while.
Credit card loans are not secure. That is why, car loans APR vary between 0% to 5% but credit card loan can go up to 33% if not higher. Basic nature of credit card loan is, it is a very high risk loan and there is no collateral against that loan.

Hi everyone! Hope you guys can help me.
We had our lawyer file my husband's H1B non-profit with me as his dependent. I guess you can say that we trusted our lawyer too much when he said that he filed both for H1B & H4. Now, I feel so stupid for not inquiring about it too much before.
My husband's H1B just got approved and the lawyer is asking me now if I got my H4 or a notice of receipt of my own. I did not know that the notice of receipt for both of us should be different. I thought there ought to be 1 notice of receipt for the two of us since my status would be totally dependent whether or not he will be approved.
When I asked them whether they are sure that they filed for the H4, they said that they did but they did not sound too convincing. They turn the table around by asking whether or not I received the notice of receipt and my approval.
What concerns me are:
(1) My husband's approval & notice of receipt arrived at the lawyer's/employer's office, why is mine supposed to be mailed at my place?
(2) The possibility of H1B being approved and the H4 disapproved since we are both currently here in the United States already.
(3) Do I have a real reason to be alarmed that I do not have an approval for H4 at hand? Is there a possibility that it's just delayed right now since the approval for H1B arrived just two days ago?
(4) How can I verify whether the lawyer filed for the H4 with the H1B?
Help!

immuser - I agree, although I rent a 2 bed 2 bath 1000 sq feet apartment. It is nowhere close to a 4 bedroom home. Nevertheless, I sleep very well at night knowing the fact that I have zero debt on my head in this economy. For some people it is very important! There are people out there, with 100K debt and they have no worries.
When you lose all your battles, home is a place where you come back and think, at least I have a roof on my head. In this country, home has become a place, when after losing all your battles, you come back and think, what do I do with this elephant?

"One can have a good quality of life in a small apartment...."
Not true - a small apt is a small apt no matter what. Yes, you can live with peace of mind in a small apt, and yes you can live happily in a small apt. This does not equate to quality of life. The "quality of life" in a 4 bedroom house with back yard is greater than that in a small 650 sq ft single bedroom apt ( if you put the same person who was happy in the small apt into the 4 bedroom house - even if his happiness level remains the same, his quality of life just went up)

My dauther is 22 years and 8 month old.
We have not received an official notification from CIS yet, but she is aged-out according to the way the formula is applied.
I started my case (EB-3) with DOL in Sep.08,05 when she was 20 and a half years old; My I-140 was approved on Aug.02,05. I had to wait almost 1 year for a visa. On Jul.2,07 I sent I-485s and I-765s. We have received the Work Permits and the apointment notices for the biometrics for each member of my family, including my daughter.
I live in Falls Church, Virginia, so I went to Jim Moran's office (my House representative) to explain my case, how the CSPA fails and ask him to request CIS to apply the law in a different way (I would say in the right way). I talked to one of his staffers but he said that the law is very clear about the time the case is considered in process (only considers the time the I-140 was in process). As you know, CSPA does not consider the time in DOL nor the time waintg for a visa (retrogression).
Also my daughter has talked to Senator Webb and he wanted to know how many cases are beeing affected, particularly in Virginia, to see if there are several cases, then something can be done.
I was wondering if any one has heard about any change on CSPA and if someone know where can I find how many cases are being affected by this nightmare or if someone has started something to have this law be doing the right thing: to protect children and families.
Thanks for your help
