Filed two EAD renewals to TSC: one on 07/06/08, another on 07/14/08.
Both included only the documents required by the filing instruction, nothing besides.
The first one was accepted, ND 8 Jul, the second returned with a request for a copy of I-485.
Added and re-sent again- no receipt yet.

Had it been 1:1.. I would be on the next flight back home .. enjoying family, friends, bhelpuri, cricket , 10000 festivals, neigbors trooping in .. etc etc .
If money is the sole objective of staying in the US, you might want to take a serious look at returning back to India. These days there are lots of high paying jobs in India, esp in software sector. OK, so you wouldn't get the exact dollar amount, but you wouldn't have to pay $400K+ for a home either (except perhaps some parts of Bangalore and Bombay).
And if you are in the software field in the US, you will have to live with a constant fear of your job getting outsourced to India. Infact I think when the next tech downturn comes (note when, not if), there'll be a job bloodbath in the US IT sector. That's because most companies already know about outsourcing and have offices in India and China. When the going gets tough they'll easily shift everything engineering related to India and China. During the last tech bubble bust, outsourcing wasn't very well known - and even then it was painful. This time round it'll be much worse. It's a ticking time bomb..

Got much awaited "CRIS" email today morning (Email went into SPAM folder :-) ).
EB3-I PD: 5/04
Case : Paper based@TSC RD Last week of May.
No LUD
CPO: 8/18 (waited 82 -83 days )
Don't know the period yet. Whatever it may be, I will be happy to get the Cards (hope all the details on the EAD card are correct).
Good luck to all, hope and pray everyone gets their EAD renewed.
Leasson learned: File EAD renewal (send application just when 120 days are remaining, so that have enough breathing time to open SR or take infopass etc. incase the cards are not processed in time). Don't think much about loosing 2-3 months.

non retrogressed countries: The delay will be none (normally) / fewmonths (worst case ) as both their eb and fb volumes are minimal.
Let us not forget we are talking about FB2A cat, with large quota of 114,200. plus it gets unused FB1.
Plus it is fair to interpret the law as it is.
I am not disputing your interpretation of the law. I just wanted to clarify its effect on people from countries whose numbers are not retrogressed.

Consider the scenario:
Two guys (A and B) come to US in 2005, both do not have MS and experience less than 5 years. Therefore both not elligible for EB2 on 2005. They are from a retrogressed country.
A does MS and joins job in 2007, becomes eligible for EB2 and files GC on 2007.
B joins a job on 2005 that do not need MS and experience and files for EB3.
Till 2010 both of them did not get GC. But B crossed 5 years of experience and from EB3 to EB2. Now B's priority date is 2005, although he was not elligible for EB2 at that time.
Although A was elligible for EB2 in 2007 earlier than B (2010), A is pushed behind B.
SHould it be acceptable to people like A? And there is not one or two pleale like B, thousands arer doing that?
If you see my priority date you will understand I am not saying this for myself. I have a bro and friends who are facing this isssue.
Therefore EB2s who are from mid 2006 onwards will really get pushed back..
I see this porting simillar to the labor substitition.. Till it was in place it was legal although thousands bought labors and that is one main reason EB2 had retrogressed back to 2000. I predict simillar thing is happending again, people are paying money to the desi employers to file perm in EB2 again pretty soon same tertrogression will happen to EB2 I if any urgent action is not taken.
I hace passed this stage.. now its for you all to decide..
In Your example, Is B working for the same company or different company in 2010. As you know experience working for the same company does not count towards EB2. B has to take another job at a different company to qualify for EB2. Am I correct in this?
(unless the title and job description totally different in 2010 for B)

Count me in...
It seems like I've got the oldest Notice date of 8/27 who has not received the biometrics yet. Infopass was pure waste of time as well.

I guess one strategy would be only to file for principal applicants, get green cards, become citizens and then sponsor dependents would be a faster route than waiting through the EB route:) Just kidding.

How about we come up with a skit where we can reenact the drama about the whole episode in a funny way. Where we can have people portraying roles of USCIS Director, Secrtary of State, Immigrants calling franctically to India to get their documents, parents running around to get doucments, the start of rumor, the employees of uscis working on sunday to adjudicate the cases, then the flip flop of DOS. etc. Then we can put this on youtube and will attract publicity.
Can anyone do a cartoon and we can post it on the internet?

On CNBC:
Something to chew over -- this is a Secretary of State who won't even admit to major blunders in Iraq, she is not about to admit they screwed up on this.
but she's right. the US immigration law is extremely detailed and totally unforgiving. the country quotas being applied to employment visas looks like some lawyer gone overboard with putting constraints while writing the law, but now it is the law, and they don't change laws here unless there are votes or lot of money involved.
that's the way it is written... you should have figured that out before coming here :(
do you remember the case of the councilwoman who is about to be deported because she came to the US as a 1 year old and never got citizenship - and got elected/voted?
now where will a person go after deportation, who came here when 1 year old?
but she is screwed. the immigration law is totally unforgiving.

Gurus,
I have a unique position. couple of weeks back I was told that have fatal cancer and won't live pass 4-6 months. After recovering from initial shock I am wondering if my wife will be able to continue her american dream or she will have to head home after me.
I have filed 485 with approved 140 back in june, 2007 with PD of March, 2003
Please help.
Mehul
Dear Mehul.
This is the most shocking of the threads, I have ever read. I know it needs lot of courage to go through what you are going through. MAY GOD BLESS you with a long life and gives courage and wisdom to your family. Getting another opinion from a reputed hospital should be your top most priority. MUST GET SECOND OPINION. Miracles do happen. A friend of mine survived for almost 12 years after the doctors told him 6 months.
I will keep you in my daily prayers and I AM SURE with so many hands folded in prayers for you, GOD will have to SHOWER with his choicest blessings and MAY YOU LIVE LONG.
Contact the IO diectly with all the medical documents and I am sure they are HUMAN too and some one will definately be there for you to help.
I am out of words and do not know as to how I can be of any help to YOU and YOUR family. PLS. do not hesitate to contact me.
GOD BLESS..
Ramesh
