This might come as a surprise to some of you, but someone needs to say it out loud. GET A LIFE FOLKS!!!! there is more to life then EB, GC and all. it seem all we desi's can think of is how to get a green card so we can live here with peace and never have to worry bout getting laid off or anything.
Few points:
1) having gc is a privilege not a right.
2) US has every right to choose whom they want to have in their country.
3) If getting PR or citizenship of a western country is the goal there are many countries which have a fair point based system.
4) Considering the number of fraud's committed by Indian body shoppers and people who use them, i am not surprised USCIS is extra careful when it comes to Indian applications. Anyone who got his wife with no exp with software dev an h1b visa from some cheat in Jersey knows what i am talking bout . My freind got his wife an H1 after showing she knew software testing even though her major was fine arts and all she was good at was web surfing :)
5) have a back up. i came here in 2001 as student and have seen it all. I am on h1b since 2004. i knew we have too many people whose sole aim in life is a American GC. to avoid becoming one of those who check processing dates first thing in morning, i applied for Canadian PR, got it in 8 months and i am not even gonna bother applying for labor, i-140 and all those precious life controlling documents.
Wake up friends, you have options. Don't let your life depend on you application status.

This guy posted six messages and he got so many green dots. I have only 3. May be it because I am EB3 . It rhymes.... :D
What some people forget on this forum is there was a guy not too long who was dying in six months and I am sure most of our situations are not so dire. Look we all will get GC, we are AOS pending it is a matter of a year here and a year there. But please do not fight like this, we are a community. We were one group before these VBs and now we fight amongst ourselves. It amazes me how the gora man is still able to divide and rule. Chill and relax....go watch olympics.
Ok, now give me some greens.I am EB3 and only green I can get is the dots.
For those who care to read...the fact that I am suggesting that people should port their priority dates before that door closes shows that I believe that people who have played by the rules (ie actually put in the 5 yrs experience or find a job with EB2 requirements) should get preference !!
I call this the plight of EB2 india because as the rules are set up, in theory, if majority of EB3 ported priority dates, then yes, EB2 with later dates would truly get the short end of the stick.
Having said that, the backlash against people like SunnySurya is unfair. From his perspective, he is right and the law grants him the right to sue if he feels so.
THe problem in these forums is that any mature discussion is not possible because any dissenting voice is soon suppressed with ad hominem attacks such as the gentlemen who wanted to buy me tickets to india.
Seriously, how much more immature can we get?
Even reading this discussion, NOT ONE PERSON has attacked the argument on a legal basis. INsults are aplenty though.

How about a lottery thing...like someone donates something (like the WII that was on the holiday post) and everyone buys a lottery to try to win it...buy a lottery through $10 each....and then a random lottery to see who wins it???

Do not tear the GC, instead if you ever receive it and decide going back to India, frame it. One may never in his or her lifetime wait for an entity so much desperately as we all have for the GC.
WillWin, I do not agree that India is not moving forward. Infact people in India are raking money. We should not blame politicians or anyone for the state we are in. No one forced us to leave India. Defending our decision to leave India and come here by calling us "smart" is demeaning to our friends back home. Does it mean that they were not "smart" and hence stayed back? If at all, I would say they were the smartest and are reaping the benefits today.

Hmm , interesting ... I have two EB2 I-140 from the same company as well , one for March 05 (non-RIR->BEC->RIR->approved) and the other for Sep 06 (PERM) and according to my attorney my March 05 PD is applied to my 485.
I was just sitting with both hands together since my dates are not yet current, may be I should call NSC and make sure the correct PD is assigned to my case. So you just call (T/N)SC using POJ method and ask a polite IO about this if you get hold of one ? would an infopass help ?

Is IV interested in doing a Freedom Of Information Act request to USCIS how and when they used up all visa numbers for EB3-India. That might show some information if they cooked the numbers if at all. We might get some more insight which monthly VISA bulletin does NOT give.
Yes I do agree with you. This is a most affected category. As an organization IV can request from USCIS and individually we cannot ask.
All EB3-India filers:
Please come and join this thread and give your opinion.

Interesting!!!
I didn't know this...
This is applicable when 140 has been approved. If 485 is retrogressed then you will get 3 year extension. If it's current you will get 1 year extension. Guess depends on luck. For e.g if some one has applied for extension in July he/she will now get only 1 year. I found this in a lawyer's chat transcripts.

Dear Friends,
If you are greened since Sept 1 - please vote and let all rest of our community know what worked for you or what did you do "special" to revive your case and get the much awaited approval this September.
This will give idea to other members to use the means to do the same and get the peace of mind you are experiencing.
PLEASE VOTE ONLY IF YOU ARE EB2 INDIA APPROVED SINCE 1ST ONLY.
Thanks,
What really worked for is the following:
1. several calls to TSC and one IO in TSC initiated a request for case to be assigned to an IO.
2. The nicest IO i ever met at an INFOPASS at Memphis office. She is the one who really got it done for me as she spoke to TSC IO and insisted my case to be assigned. She also wrote email to TSC asking that case should be assigned as dates are current. There was a problem in Biometrics upload and she got is fixed too.
3. My congressman also called TSC but by the time the Memphis IOs email and call had me approved already.

Agree with original post.
Numbers USA people are angry right wing citizens.
Calls from legal aliens who can't vote won't move lawmakers one bit. Money and votes are the only 2 things that matter to politicians.
Pressure groups and lobbyists have far more reach and influence. IV as a group can use lobbyists and other influence to get a lot more done. Individual phone calls are a waste.
DBCD
I think this should be highlighted as it conveys a very important message:
"you may wish to google the nyt articles on how numbers usa operates to derail bills- they call! if our members would show the same enthusiasm and every single person would call when requested, we could have the same impact."

I am have been on /off with my pay roll’s. I am still with my Green card sponsored company.
It’s almost 9 months since i got my GC. At the time of citizenship
How does USCIS verify the length of stay with the petition employer? Are they going to see the pay stubs or Length of the stay or a letter from employer….
plz help me.....
Sorry I missed your question before. My take on your situation is that you are good, and do not worry too much about USCIS's way of doing things. Did your company serve you any temporary suspension/reinstatement notice(s) coinciding with these payroll gaps? If not, and I would guess not (because that would reflect poorly on the company's health), your story means that as per your original employment letter, you have been with your employer continuously for 9 months after GC, and presumably longer (you did not say about any plan of leaving them soon), even though you are not being paid regularly. If anything, such payroll discontinuity should help establish your intention of remaining with your employer despite the hardship, if this issue comes up during citizenship interview. On your part, you should keep a detailed log of the dates you missed payments, in addition to all relevant papers (this goes back to DO item #3 in my list).
On your question about how USCIS verifies the length of stay with GC-sponsoring employer, my guess would be that for simple cases, they probably go by the employment letter or W2 etc. (something that has a single start date, and may/not have an end date). But if there are complicating factors, like your payroll gaps, and if USCIS comes to know about them (e.g. you tell them), they may ask your company to furnish evidence of payment history, such as copies of all relevant pay stubs (a simple letter from your employer may not suffice).
Chin up, please. You have your GC, which already makes you privileged compared to so many deserving folks still waiting long and hard. So, go hit the pub, shoot some pool, smell a rose, call up your fiance(e), take family on a Bahama cruise, tweak your boss's nose, kick some butt, write a(nother) check to IV, or whatever it is that you use as a release mechanism from such unnecessary tension :)
Cheers,

Yes, that is right, I said �plight of EB2-India�.
"... and if not, India is a great country and provides enough opportunities for any skillset !!
I wish more people shared this thought and even better did this rather than just say to vent. And the GC line would have been smaller.
Lets not waste time blaming others rather work on upligting yourself and if you think you are capable help others too. If this was your once-in-month harmone reaction, please pardon my preachings. But than this is the only country where you can attain goals and dreams that are un-imaginable anywhere else. So if you have been categorized in EB3 think about how to migrate to EB2 and same for EB2 to EB1 or into some other category ( family etc.) that can help you attain your goal ( assuming GC is the goal at this forum, presently).
And I like to remind myself, if you comment on others be ready to be sermoned. Hope you all will be kind. Peace be with you.:)

Come on folks, lets start the cleansing work - IV is our organization and lets help IV help us.
Just imagine $220 million as back wages in FY 2007 http://www.dol.gov/esa/whd/statistics/200712.htm
This is a widespread problem.
I have gone through the procedure and trust me it is easier than filling out your own tax return or for that matter I-765. All it needs is very basic information about the employer. Moreover when the DOL audits the employer on the basis of a complaint they don't give out the name of the person filing the complaint. They go to the employer's place of employment and tell him to show all the records for all the employees for the last five (I guess) years and if they determine abuse then everybody who was not paid gets his wages.
