Mine is paper based. Does anyone know how long it takes when its paper based?
If paper based, then you should wait for 90 days.
The answer to your question is that paper-based EAD got approved in 15 days also. We have so many postings and thread indicating average time to 25-30 days. But still on USCIS web site it is 90 days.
This processing is depending on service center. I think TSC is doing very fast, to the extent that many IV members are blaiming that USCIS is milking us - If they give before Jun 30 it is just for one year. Had they been not doing so fast, it would have been two years EAD.
If you get after Jun 30 you are lucky in terms of getting EAD for two years.

I think it is important to maintain diversity in the overall immigration. However the immigration law has never resulted in achieving diversity. In the period 1900-1910, immigrants came from Italy (22%), Austria (20%) and Russia (18%). In the 1950-1960 period Germany provided 20% of immigrants. In the 1991-2000 period Mexico provided almost 22% of immigrants. In the FY 2005, Mexico provided around 161,000 immigrants (around 17%) of immigrants. It is easy to fix a quota for those immigration categories where visa numbers are limited such as for employment. However spouses and minor children of naturalized citizens have no waiting period. So it will be very hard to control the immigration percentages based on country of origin unless there is a quota for US citizen spouses, and children of US citizens wantin to immigrate!
The problem here is that we don't have a country quota for foreign students and H1Bs. Thus when these people try to become permanent residents then the quota's are applied and that is the core problem. My take is that country quota should not be applied for employment based immigration. Employers should not be forced in to an affirmative action plan but rather hire the right person for the job.
Source for my above data, if you like to do some weekend reading:

Sorry - I can't currently access the report you quote your oringinal figures from at the beginning of your quote. Are these numbers of total immigration, or immigration in the highly skilled category?

Welcome back!, your are a part of the team
Hi all, this is the new ID of bigtime007. As many has noticed, I was banned for the following reason:
You have been banned for the following reason:
Disruptive posts
Date the ban will be lifted: Never
After thinking about it, I feel very very sorry for disrupting the cheerful atmosphere on this forum. It is time for champagne, not complaints. This should be a place to congratulate and applaud IV's achievements, instead of that to express one's own frustrations. People with 07 PD has the privilege to cheer when they cut in front of us, but we should not feel sad for being pushed back because it is a disruptive behavior.
Please do not list what you have done to add items in the legislation to help BEC victims, it does not look genuine any more when it is considered disruptive to express one's depression on a board specially for BEC victims.
This will be my last post, as I am sure they will ban both my ID and IP. For everyone who still reads my post, Good luck!

I think they misplaced AC-21 application and also they missed NOID step. This is basically two mishaps.
Good luck.
Exactly the point that leads me to believe this:
ARE THEY SENDING EVERYTHING TO THE OLD LAWYER???
If they never updated the lawyer info....(AC21 papers being lost is not unusual at all, it happens commonly, as there is no set form for it, mail room does not know what to do with it and so it gets misplaced). However, even if they did not have AC21 info, they would have sent an RFE or at least NOID. All these could be LOST if they went to OLD attorney.
So Infopass is a good idea. To at least get this info and also to get the actual denial notice which may have to to the old attorney as well (to see on what grounds they denied it so you can file MTR accordingly).
Of course, a good attorney is a must.
All in all, I think, it should be ok at the end of the day (just a painful waiting period full of uncertainty) unless they revoked it based on some misrepresentation.
Good Luck.

Actually you are partly right. Only those who had paid the revised higher fee last year are eligible to get renewals for free. All those who had paid the regular fee (July filers) pay for renewal everytime
Yes and ALL July 2nd Filers HAVE to pay the EAD and AP fees over and over again. Coz everyone that benefitted from the July 2nd drama was not granted the multiple ead renewal free deal. I am VERY sure about that.

Gautamagg (Gautam Aggrwal) is Columban. Columban is praising Gautamagg but they are both the same person : Gautam Aggarwal.
Gautam: If you have difference with Immigration Voice's position in opposing the merits based system that gives 21 points being illegal and 20 points for having MBA or MD, then you are entitled to have that opinion, but dont peddle your agenda on this site and find another website or forum to advocate in favor of merits based points system.
Merits based point system awards supplemental points for illegals. Being illegal is not an accomplishment. Having an MBA or MD is. The two cannot be awarded merits on the same scale.
Merits based point system works well in countries that dont have annual caps. Like Canada. Their objective in Canada is to fill the country with younger working population in order to balance to demograph that is headed to an aging population. USA is not like that and having points system in conjunction with numerical caps will cause greencard to go to paper-tiger resumes that have lots of points but not employable. There are millions of Ph.Ds in Science in India and China and they would not be employable here but would get GCs. Just like Canada, we would have greencard holders with Ph.Ds and MBBS driving cabs. Employability has nothing to do with papers that prove how many years you spend on colleges accumalating degrees.
A bachelor's degree from Harvard and a Bachelor's degree from Rutgers would get same points : 16 points. Is that really a measure of merits?
But again, if you feel that point system is great, issue press release on your own and peddle your agenda on your own but dont use this site to peddle that agenda. You are free to discuss with other members but dont issue press release and dont speak to the media on behalf of IV. Speak to the media as an individual.
Also, if you feel that IV is run by non-US educated consultants and the US educated employees are not represented or served by Immigration Voice, then please start your own organization to represent them and I will be happy to point the dissatisfied US educated members in your direction. For once, I would love to share the burden with others and if we have 2 organizations instead of one, atleast we can share the work load. So please, do start your website, your organization, your advocacy etc and take away members from us who are dissatisfied with IV and who feel that US educated folks need more representation and your organization could potentially provide that.
The position of immigration voice on points system is very clear and it will stay that way.
Besides the points system, you should look at other aspects of the bill. Being US educated from top University, I am sure you will have no trouble in interpreting title 4 and title 5 of the bill. They are striking down AC21 provisions that provide extensions of H1 after 6 years based on pending labor for 1 one year or pending 140. And they are replacing it with pending immigration petition for 1 year as requirement for H1 extension. What that means is that there will be extensions granted to only those who have filed for 140 before May 21. After that, the 140s filed or approved would be invalid and they would have to wait for points system. And points system doesnt kick in until Oct 1 2008. So during the 1 year blackout period, between the President signing the bill and Oct 1 2008, there will be no immigration petitions filed. Old system will stop accepting 140 and new system (your favorite merits system) wont kick until Oct 2008. Combine that with removal of AC21 provisions for extensions of H1. There are tens of thousands who will be unable to extend their H1. These are the folks who are either in backlog centers or who have filed PERM but not filed 140 as of May 21 2007. Can you imagine the catastrophe? Go thru title 4 and title 5 and see the sections of INA it is amending.

There are uglier things than sausages being made. For example, when Bernie Sanders gave a 30 minute speech to increase H1B fees and make H1B program useless, he brought a big chart and the whole enchilada to try to prove that H1B depresses wages.
However, in the starting part of his speech, he said he supports the bill.
The bill brings in 200,000 guest-workers each year (it was 400,000 before Bingaman amendment). However, according to him, that is just fine. When guest-workers come to US in numbers like 200,000 then they dont depress wages of the lowest income group in America. However, when hi-tech workers come here they depress wages.
This is the kind of logic from people like Bernie Sanders and Co. that is uglier than watching sausages being made. Watching sausages being made might hurt your eyes, but this kind of logic hurts your head and can damage your brain's neurons.

Yes immigration reform was on many of their lips....all we can do is hope they consider it sooner rather than later...but who on earth trusts politicians. I am still thinking that the embittered Democrats will try to strike hard blows to pave way for a Democratic President in 2008...that is going to be there main agenda - by repealing tax cuts, calling committees on War, etc to take the Pres to task....They have called that out too many times...for us to ignore that it will be their # 1 priority.

Can we form a Human Chain protest across the major cities of the country at a predefined date and time. for instance, say Nov 9th between 11.AM and 1 PM.
This way more local people, across the country, can participate and as the timing is around lunch hours, I presume many of us can get back to work within the two hour duration.
May be this decentralized & concerted effort in all major cities/states across the country at a specified time may gather main stream media attention.
This is just a thought...

Human Chain is a great idea...imagine a chain acroos all the major streets of NY city, we will definately get a lot of media attention....but it will need a lot of people

Apart from Deniel notice I also got LUD on I 140.
Could it be related to old employer revoking I 140?
Since I have transfered after 180 and did Ac 21 - am I covered.
Prince - Did you get any LUD on 140 on the day you got this deniel e mail?
Thanks

Is your I-140 already approved before you invoked AC21?? Sorry to hear about your denial..keep hope and fight for the justice as much you can..Getting GC became mess now..

I�ve been laid off as of Friday last week.
My employer started laying off people an year ago and there were too many cycles so far. I was immune to all those layoffs until Friday. They eliminated everybody in my team, 15 people in total.
I am in the final stage of my GC and I have 2 year EAD. My H1 is expiring in March and my (ex) employer already paid my Attorney for the 3 year extension. They have decided to extend my H1 and paid for the expenses. But in the mean time, they were forced by the investors to show profitability and hence the layoffs.
My (ex) employer is based in Massachusetts and my Labor Certification was done from this location.
I have received job offers from some of my employer�s clients. However, they are based in other States (CO, OH & WA for instance) and they might not be able to do my H1. One of them is interested in hiring me on a contract basis, since they had frozen new hiring.
Is taking a job outside of Massachusetts impact my pending I-485? or Will it violate my Labor Certification conditions? I couldn�t find an answer for this anywhere.
Also, can I take contract jobs for the time being?
I sent out an email to my Attorney with all these questions. But, he is not available until Tuesday next week.
Please post your answers, comments and suggestions.
Thanks!
