Pls explain how your stmt can be true. IF a person does not have a transit visa how does one clear immigration...hmmmmm. TV is just another way to make money for transiting thru the country. The sad part is we don't even get to move between terminals to proceed to the next flight. Agreed one has to do some due diligence before traveling but people do make mistakes. No one is arguing abt the TV but for the process and difficulty in obtaining one. Enough said.
It really is amazing how much hot air has been generated on this thread over a well established transit visa requirement.
The reason transit visas are required in the UK is that many passengers with an intention to transit the UK have stayed. The transit visa was introduced as a way of making sure (as much as possible) that the passenger has the intention and the ability to transit the UK and to enter a third country.
The list of nationals that are required to have a visa to transit the UK represents a list of countries where there has been a particular problem with over stayers. It is not race based, but merely an effort to target the problem.
It really does not matter what anyone thinks about the transit visa requirement because it is UK law. Everyone has a choice whether or not to transit the UK. Going back to the original post, to book a ticket without researching visa requirements and then trying to deflect personal responsibility by blaming the visa requirement is ridiculous.

My H1 extension and transfer to a new employer was approved around Feb 2007 and validity is between mar 2007 and feb 2010.
So did you guys notice a pattern here ?
hmmm.. i had noticed that for couple of persons whose approval was done early got their passport immediately but in you case it is not true!! :confused: so I guess it is difficult to decide any pattern.. (i am not sure whether it is related to H1 approval of any specific center.. if we decide some template and ask everyone to post all such details that might help but i am not sure whether everyone will follow that template...) was there anything complex in your case which you think might have caused this problem?
my H1 approval was done in April 2007 and I have my appointment in Feb 1 st week. I will post my details as soon as my interview is done.. Good luck to you..

I am sure you must have thought a lot before the 'foreclosure' came into your mind. Here is an advice. If there is not too much that you will have to put out from your own pocket, then it is better to take the hit and move on.
If you do foreclose, it might not be the best for credit history as well as in some random cases, job search. Jobs usually do a background check and that includes credit check in some cases as well. I hope it has no bearing but in some cases can. I don't think it will have any impact on your GC. Even if you don't have plans to buy a house, there are far more things that can impact. None of us want to live on credit but in US it is almost a necessary evil. Car, credit cards and the other nine yards that come with it also become scarce for the next few years. So, tread carefully.
Have you discussed with your bank? Foreclosure is a huge hit for the bank and they may be able to work with you on what you owe.
All the best.

I don't know how much ombudsman will be helpful, but will try all options. My labour was approved in 2 months and I-140 in 18 days but it seems I485 is sturck for ever :mad:

I think it is the part of their process. I went an infopass the other morning and the IO gave me the same response. She said every thing was fine with my application. It was pre-adjudicated and now waiting for a review now that my priority date is current. She asked me to wait for 60-90 days. But I got the approval same afternoon :)
I was told the same thing in my infopass appointment on Sep 3rd. I also opened a SR on 09/01. Finally received the 485 approval notice on 09/10. My wife who is my dependent actually received a CPO email on 09/09 and a message on 09/10 saying "you are registered as permanent resident". I never received the CPO email and I don't care.
It's been a long 10 year journey, extremely frustrating. I case to this country as a student, then H1B, was exploited by my employers for so many years, still with the same employer on H1. Renewed EAD 2 times never used it as my 485 was denied last year.
Case history:
Priority date: Apr 26, 2006
140 rejected: Dec 2008.
I-140 reapplied Jan 2008
I-485- receipt date: 09/11/2007
I-140 approved Aug 2008 (Multiple RFEs which were never ending)
I-485 denied without appeal Jul 2009 because they somehow linked my case to a denied I-140.
Lawyer filed motion to reopen in Aug 2009.
I-485 reopened and went into pending status Jun 5, 2010
Here's what I did since the last month:
- Called USCIS to open a SR 08/15/10 but was told I should call when my priority date becomes current
- Called USCIS on 09/01, opened a SR for both myself and wife, was told I should hear back in 30-60 days, but may receive an email sooner.
- Lawyer called on 09/02: IO (Level 2) said, I may have to do finger printing again as they were expired.
- Took infopass for 09/03: IO was very helpful. Said my case was in transit and is pre-adjudicated. It was not assigned to IO as of that point.
- Contacted Congressman on 09/07. They initiated an inquiry on my behalf.
- Took another infopass on 09/10 (I wasn't aware that petition was already approved). Received the most humiliating treatment from the IO. She will not disclose any detail and told me I should come back in Dec to check on my status since my 485 was denied earlier. I ran into a Canadian immigrant who had the same experience - absolutely useless.
- Came home all frustrated and angry. I was surprised the see that the approval emails had popped in 8 am in the morning.
I believe the SR to request our files on 09/01 probably worked.
I can't thank enough the IV core and all wonderful people who keep contributing to this forum. This forum has been a great help!
Good luck to everyone who is waiting and hope you see the green soon.

The only thing I can tell is most of us are trying to search "light" from this "black and dark cloud". USCIS does not seem to be agree with what you are saying. Please have this trend chart and the worksheet in this thread together and then you will realize what we all are saying.:)
Trend chart doesnt give you shit...its just an overall count
I am referring to the PDF report - which clearly mentions that the numbers are for pending Employment based 485 applications. And yet people refer to this report and ask stupid questions or over-analyze it...

It is not true. The orignal text in IMMIGRATION AND NATIONALITY ACT says "Visas shall be made available, in a number not to exceed 28.6 percent of such worldwide level, plus any visas not required for the classes specified in paragraph (1), to qualified immigrants who are members of the professions holding advanced degrees or their equivalent or who because of their exceptional ability in the sciences, arts, or business, will substantially benefit prospectively the national economy, cultural or educational interests, or welfare of the United States, an d whose services in the sciences, arts, professions, or business are sought by an employer in the United States.
Beyond 28.6 percent, there is no words/requirements from the law that EB1 should spillover to EB2 first, then EB2 can spillover to EB3. It is just saying that EB1 can spillover to EB2, EB1&EB2 can spillover to EB3.
"
That is true. USCIS behaviour no longer (or never has) assumes the meaning of EB1&EB2 wording in the law text.
Previously a lot of visas flowed into EB3 because USCIS misinterpreted ( rather did not take into account) the AC21 change, which suggests that the per-category spill over numbers must be used within the category before flowing out of the category.
Unfortunately, when they realized it, they seem to now ignore (or have always ignored) the wording of EB1&EB2 numbers flowing in EB3. A lot of people here don't agree with this interpretation, but I am very sure that USCIS is misreading the law and is shafting EB3 big time.
I dont know how to word a letter to USCIS that shows them their oversight, and yet word it in a positive (or a non-confrontational) manner. If you have any idea's, lets work on a letter campaign to make USCIS aware of this. However, let us do this through personal PMs while we work out the details, as this is a very contentious issue and you will spend a lot of time responding to distracting arguments.

Alterego,
You are absolutely right in your thinking. It is a pity. I know people who get approved forget everything thinking that "All is well that ends well" but the fact remains that USCIS was is and will remain the most incompetent and irrational organization on the face of earth....
You are right congressional inquiries are being treated as normal inquiries and they are given standard responses and I have bought this to the notice of my congresssman's office....
I too have the same feeling of Govt's healthcare plan....it'd fail just like SS and Medicare.....
SoP
There is no logic to randomness....I guess the 2nd law of thermodynamics is most appropriate for USCIS...which is to say "Entropy always rises in the universe"

It is rather unfortunate that people on consular process track despite the fact that they have approved I-140, yet they couldn't be allocated visa while other people on adjustment process could file their I-485 when everybody PD became current. don't you think it is rather unfortunate.
Any hope for consular processing? with the situation.

Even USCIS has pre adjudicated all AOS cases , DOS will not be in good shape to predict perfect cutoff date ever. WHY ?? Every year in Sep DOS move dates forward in order to prevent visa waste. Lets say because of these pre adjudicated DOS knows that they are 10k pending app before Sep 2004 and supply is 7k. Still they will move date till 2004 Oct just to give room to USCIS. If they move date to July 2004 which has 7k app and supply is also 7k and some how USCIS has problem approving some cases because of some reason then they will waste few visas.
Till last year DOS was moving date randomly but this year they had move date with little offset. In Oct they moved date forward little bit because DOS think USCIS will not be ready with those left over case from 2004. If they will then they will chew Oct supply and 2005 Jan applicants will not get any visas. Again supply in Oct is only few hundreds visas to only lucky people from 2004 and 2005 will get green card. I am hoping DOS will do quarter spill over where we can get almost 10k Spill over and dates can move to Dec 2005.

My laywer ( a known one, but not the regulars here) also didn't include EVL. When i asked him about it, he said whether we include it now or not, they will issue an RFE at the time of adjudication. I was content with that, but after reading about it more here, i pressed him again about the issue and the new memo. He said he does not foresee a denial because of this, but if i'm worried we will send the EVL along with a cover letter and the RN. But filing another 485 is not advisable. I'm working on the EVL, and once he is less busy after Aug 17th i will ask him to send it. And i hope it will make it to the right file if we include the RN and A#, just like replying to an RFE.
btw, to answer #1, i did get RN so i would think the case may not be outright rejected for missing evidence. I did FP and my LUD was changed for 485 and 131. I filed 765 later and that also has an LUD after FP.
Thanks for your inputs on this issue. I agree, this is the minimum one should do (sending EVL with A# when it arrives.)

The total number of applications excluding EB2, EB3 are 7,653.
The total visa's per annum -> 140,000
Considering that there would be more applications during the year from non-retrogressed countries/categories ..it is evident now that there won't be more than 5K such applications. On pessimistic side even if we consider 10K such applications, The visas available for retrogressed EB2 and EB3 should be around 120K this year.
Total pending EB2 is 74,932. So EB2 should be Current for all countries this year.
EB3 should get around 40K visas this year.
Any one disagrees?
If everything goes well(based on the numbers). Most likely you and I (including - others ahead in the line) should be GREENED by same time NEXT YEAR(Sep 2010). :D

Would anyone be able to advise if I can travel out of the country after I've filed the 485 if I have an approved I-797 approval notice (for H-1B) but old H-1B stamp in pp has already expired?
If I travel out and then get the H-1B visa stamp at an outside consulate, I would be able to travel back in, but would I have considered have abandoned the 485 application? (since I travelled out without a valid H-1B stamp in pp)??
Can I travel out even before my AP arrives? Or does having an AP make a difference? I would prefer to stay on H-1B status since you never know what happens to the 140/485 application.
Thanks for the help guys.

After seeing the May bullettin, it seems what the US is actually giving us is either a A kick in the back or a slap on the face?
May be we can create a poll for that send the results to the president.
Well it is their country. We are serving through our volition.
We have an expectation, but in a free market it is demand and supply.
i am Not trying to be negative - just a reality check on where we stand and how we can approach.
It is a fact that immigration from Asia shot up at the turn of the millennium. This may look disproportionate to proponents of diversity.
Now 1/6th of the world population comes from one country. But the quota for Iceland and India remains the same.
Consequently many like us cannot: change employers, give up opportunities (lure of which we came here for) and wait for the same outcome that others achieve much faster, simply because they were born somewhere else or their employers & lawyer decided their immigration category. So much for free country and meritocracy.
i believe our main point should be a level playing field and transparent
system so that expectations are clear.
For those of us who have suffered due to lack of clarity, for all fairness, must lobby for a chance to parity after multiple (say 10) years of serving LEGALLY.
