Wow. That's a lot of Approvals in a day.
Congratulations to all from my side and enjoy the new found freedom.
To all gurus here, does this mean that we can expect date forward movement in OCT bulletin?
Mine is EB2 India Apr 2008. Any chance for me to file i-485?

I renewed my passport from houston in september 2009 by mail. I had a great experience. Managed to get the passport within a week without the tatkal scheme.
In your case you probably will have to send a certified copy of your H1b approval notice (with attached new I-94) as well as the old I-94, utility bills etc.
I went to my bank to notarize my documents. There was a problem in that the bank officer said he cannot attest true copies and can only be a witness to an affidavit. So I wrote "I attest this to be a true copy" and signed it myself. The notary then signed it saying, "Signed in my presence". I submitted that and it seems to have done the trick.
Hope that helps.

The situation is the same. In my case and of course in most of others too, what he/she said is correct. Waiting for Eb3 to cross 2001 has become a difficult thing. If I started an EB2 app rather than hoping positively, I would have finished my wait for GC.
Ever since retrogression started the dates have not crossed 2001. 245i or not, the backlog is a fact. Sad part, when there is action items from IV, trying to talk to my state members, I have realized and been told that IV does not cater to EB3 anymore. It is disheartening how much ever I try to explain, occasional members look at IV threads like EB2-EB3 predictions and say there is no hope for EB3 and also IV has no answer to it.
I tried my part...too bad I was not able to participate in the IV advocacy day due to family emergency. anyway, let us hope IV's persistence yields us the results. My heart goes for a lot of EB3s who may automatically qualify for EB2 just due to their experience.
Best of luck to all.
You are hearing utter nonsense from your friends. They have no inclination to find out the truth or wish to take part in the action item. Such armchair strategy folks are the reason we are all suffering in EB3 I. If these folks joined this effort and worked hard to fix it, we would have made lot more progress. Despite being highly educated, some people fall prey to divisive posts and opinions on the forums without checking the facts.
People who had come to the DC advocacy day this month know what we do and that our focus is solving EB retrogression completely. We do not talk about EB2 , EB3 categories. We talk about the overall retrogression in EB visas.
The biggest damage and threat to this effort is not from anti-immigrants or other interest groups but from people of our own community who spread lies, pursue personal agenda and grudges, talk against this effort and cause damage to this community effort. They forget that this damages their own cause. Have you seen divisive posts, or anti-organization posts on the forums of anti-immigrants? Just think about it.
After leading this effort for more than 4 years I have come to a realization that we as a community are the reason of our own failure and the reason for our own successes. There is nobody else to be blamed. If we have to blame someone for this broken system, it is ourselves for not being able to get together and fix it.

If USCIS is planning on using up all 40K by July 2, and not accepting applications why would they put out a memo like this?
questions are never ending, the only thing in our control is to push our lawyer to file asap.

USCIS to Suspend Premium Processing for All I-140 Petitions Beginning July 2
06/28/2007
In a press release issued today, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) has announced that it will impose a temporary suspension of premium processing services for all Form I-140 immigrant worker petitions from July 2, 2007 to August 1, 2007. Premium services are being suspended because USCIS expects a surge of I-140 filings beginning on July 2, when immigrant visa priority dates become current for nearly all employment-based categories. The agency anticipates that, due to the high volume of filings, it will be unable to meet the 15-day processing goal of the service.
During the 30-day period, USCIS plans to review its decision to halt premium processing of I-140s, and could extend the suspension beyond August 1 if, due to its workload, the agency remains unable to guarantee 15-day processing. Note that premium processing services are currently suspended for I-140 petitions for which a labor certification substitution is being requested, pursuant to a new Department of Labor (DOL) regulation that prohibits substitution of labor certification beneficiaries beginning July 16, 2007.
1. I-140 processing times have been already adversely affected by almost everyone going in for premium processing... in one case (TSC, EB-3?) it went back to 2003
2. there would definitely be a surge in the I-140's beginning July-- many going in for Premium Processing, which would certainly slow them down, and perhaps, make it impossible to guarantee a 15 day response
3. possibly, they are helping speed up the AOS decisions by doing this
However, it sucks that they are doing something like this with a less than 1 week notice!

The best thing to do right now: At the cost of repeating myself, bear with me.
I believe this is going to work: Write letters and post them to your senators. Senate is in session, and all its going to take is a little spark.
In the past, we have sent emails and webfaxes to senators only to get canned- pre typed responses.
Recently, I have realised that senators favour written letters, posted (with postage stamp) especially if it comes from constituents from their state. Same with house reps. I have talked to my senator's staff and they have advised me to write a letter.
The staff member said, letters are always read, and responded. Senator will send an inquiry to the appropriate agency. This will create an impact, all of us should write letters.
Hi, I did that today. A personalized letter along with copies of the Interim Bulletin and te USCIS press release on July 2.
Next, I want to write to other senators who are friendly to skilled immigrants (Cantwell, Cornyn etc). Has someone compiled a list of them?

I feel moving VISA dates, EAD renewal and $$$ is linked.
By moving spillover till last quater..many (2007 filers**) are due for EAD renewal
If they had moved the dates, guys would have got GC and USCIS lose income from EAD and AP
** in particular EB2-I

Note the letter is addressed to chertoff. So even if USCIS do not send all those documents, Chertoff will kick the butt of USCIS to "get the damn thing fixed" before it becomes a bigger issue.
btw just asked my attorney(from a premier firm)
"Is this rumour anywhere close to being true? If so how soon do you think a turnaround may possible come?"
Ans: close...maybe as soon as tmrow or friday.

i odn't think it passed. what was included in the amendment is s1121 and not s113 that has our provisions. please clarify.
you seem to be correct ....
i just looked at the amendments in detail and this provision was in SA 180 (page 1113)
On the other hand SA 187 (page 1121) seems to have passed.
I am a bit unsure though of what happened to SA 180. Did it get amended by some other amendment. It does not appear to have been tabled.
I apologize to everyone but I had stated right in the beginning that I may be totally wrong.

I got my original passport renewed at Houston. Here are my details.
Original Passport expiring on Feb 05/2011. Sent the completed application form with all the required documentation to Houston on June 17th. Received new passport on Jul 07/2010.
Prompt service in less than 3 weeks. Last week I emailed them requesting the status of my application and never got a reply. Tried to reach them on the phone, but no one answered. Was getting little concerned as I have an upcoming trip by end of this month. Got the fedex this afternoon. Very good service.
Thanks

There is new data available regarding the PERM LC data, like how many PERM has been approved so far, I have tried to copy and and paste, but could not make it work. To sum it up, it is very bad for indian born applicants, while China Mainland is not too bad, since they have far few people in line comaring to Indians.
I can find the link for you guys. It is seems with any policies changes, it will be decades for Indian priority date to be surrent.

CIR wont pass in 2009 or 2010. It may pass in 2011. Here is why..
- No lawmaker tocuh a big immigration bill when unemployment numbers going up
- Health care bill is a major major change. lawmakers need atleast one election cycle to rethink and pass any other controversial bill like CIR
- Dems does not have enough votes in the house to pass CIR. think Blue dogs.
- CIR wont be touched in an election year 2010
- Obama already satisfied Hispanics with Supreme court judge
- Health care reform already turned into Immigration reform and you know what happened.
There are plenty of reasons CIR wont happen.

you should definately not get a ear/headache . That is not good. We should talk about this. Are you walking at a moderate pace?. Did you start out too fast?. you should always start out slow. you can start at the same pace you walk from your car to your office. That was what I did 7 years ago. See if you can walk for 30 mins at the same pace you normally walk from your car to your office or even try for just 20 mins. Do not worry about speed at this time. We will gradually build you up from walking 20 mins to walking 45 minutes at a Moderate pace. I can work with you personally on this if it is ok with you. I have helped a few people with their health and wellness goals over the past 5 years. That is my favorite hobby actually
guys.. 30 minutes is a LOT.. I think I walked a little more than a mile. Feels good, but I think I'm getting a ear/head ache because of all that blood pounding in there.
I'll "run mouse" for the rest of the day :)
