OK good another thread, now you have posted this info you can also close this thread.:)
http://www.uscis.gov/files/pressrelease/FAQ3.pdf
Q33: When filing an EB I-485 using the old fee, what version of the I-485 form do we use?
A33: The current I-485 form version dated “7/30/07 Y” should be used. The form can be found at www.uscis.gov
Q34: To ensure that the correct fee is submitted, may an applicant submit both a check for the old fee and a second check for the new fee?
A34: USCIS requires that all applications and petitions be submitted with the required filing fee or a waiver, if applicable. USCIS urges the public to exercise caution in submitting additional checks in incorrect amounts: extraneous checks may slow down the intake process and may result in an erroneous rejection of an application (as in the case where the check in the correct amount is missed) or in the inadvertent cashing of such checks, since filing fees are normally non-refundable. For additional information, the public is referred to the fee requirements announced in the Federal Register on August 1, 2007 (Temporary Adjustment of the Immigration and Naturalization Benefit Application and Petition Fee Schedule for Certain Adjustment of Status, FR at 41888). This regulation amends the new Fee Rule, and requires that aliens who file an employment-based Form I–485 and any related Forms I–765 and I–131, pursuant to Visa Bulletin No. 107, through August 17, 2007, must include the filing fees in effect prior to July 30, 2007. The new fee schedule becomes effective on July 30, 2007, for all other immigration and naturalization applications and petitions and on August 18, 2007, for Forms I–485 and all subsequent or ‘‘renewal’’ applications for advance parole and employment authorization based on pending Forms I–485 filed pursuant to Visa Bulletin No. 107.
Q35: Will previous USCIS policy still apply in those instances where the original approved labor certification cannot be included in support of an I-140 petition, such as when the original has been lost or previously filed with USCIS, or when a duplicate approval must be requested?
A35: Yes. While an original labor certification must be submitted in support of certain I-140 petitions, USCIS will continue to accept duplicates of previously filed Labor certificates and, as in the instances stated above, in cases where an original labor certificate has been properly filed with USCIS.

Q36: Will USCIS accept Schedule A concurrently filed I-140 petitions and adjustment of status applications that are filed on or after August 1, 2007?
A36: As previously stated, USCIS will accept properly filed Forms I-140 filed on behalf of aliens with a priority date on or after August 1, 2007; however, pursuant to August Visa Bulletin No. 108, USCIS will reject any concurrently filed adjustment of status applications filed by aliens with a priority date on or after August 1, 2007.
Q37: Will the new I-765 filing instructions apply to Forms I-765 filed based on employment-based adjustment of status applications filed pursuant to the July Visa Bulletin No. 107, if filed between July 30, 2007 – August 17, 2007?
A37: No. The fee of $180 for Forms I-765 and the fee of $170 for Form I-131 will remain in effect for those aliens eligible to file an employment-based adjustment of status application pursuant to July Visa Bulletin No. 107 until August 17, 2007.
Q38: Where should an employment-based adjustment of status application be filed if the underlying I-140 petition remains pending with USCIS?
A38: Forms I-485 may be filed at either the Nebraska Service Center or the Texas Service Center in accordance with the Direct Filing Update issued June 21, 2007, regardless of where the pending I-140 was filed. Applicants should submit a copy of the I-140 receipt notice or, if the applicant does not have a receipt notice, include a brightly colored sheet of paper on top of the filing with the following notice and information:
TO THE MAILROOM: The enclosed I-485 Adjustment Application(s) should be matched with a pending I-140 Immigrant Petition for which no Receipt Notice has been received. The Immigrant Petition [type, e.g., I-140] was delivered to [Service Center] on [provide date of filing and tracking number]; Petitioner's name; Beneficiary's name; Beneficiary's date of birth; Beneficiary's country of birth.

Ombudsman had correctly predicted this fiasco back in June before the dates were made current:
There will be severe consequences from rapid fluctuations in priority dates. If the priority date became current today, due to delayed USCIS processing and thus underutilization of visa numbers, some have predicted that within a few months as many as 500,000 to 750,000 individuals now residing in the United States under a temporary worker visa could apply for a green card. Additionally, DOL’s recent backlog elimination efforts, scheduled to be completed by September 30, 2007, are predicted to add 70,000 or more approved labor certifications yielding as many as 170,000 additional green card applications. As USCIS begins to complete these applications and request visa numbers from DOS, the 140,000 statutorily authorized visa numbers will be used. DOS then will be required to retrogress priority dates. Consequently, most applicants in this scenario will find themselves trapped where as they anticipated timely receipt of a green card, their wait exceeds seven or more years. In addition, all future employment-based green card applicants effectively would be barred from applying for many years.38

Yes, if USCIS makes the dates current again it will be a great help.
But unless we try to get the visa numbers increased we might still have to wait for SEVEN or more years in "same or similar" job.

Dear Immigration voice members,
We have made good progress in our membership base over the past 2 weeks. We are now more than 13,320 strong. Our members are our greatest asset and our grassroots efforts make us unique. It would be in the best interest of this community to use our energies by telling more people about this effort so that more members could join this effort.
During the past 2 weeks we had about 20 media leads due to the efforts of our members and the media drive. This has translated into about 10 media interviews that are mostly on a national scale. There are some more media interviews in the process and we hope to have them published soon. Let us continue this media drive with enthusiasm.
Our webfaxes, phone and email campaign has also been working. The response to it has not been as per our expectations yet. However even with limited participation we did hear comments about our campaign from some Senator offices. Hope more members take part in these campaigns. There have been some technical errors faced by few members this week. We have solved those iissues.We are also now going to pay more for a �Premium� service (3 times we pay now) so that the webfaxes can be sent smoothly without �backlogs� in the system.
Its been more than a week since we started our funding drive for the CIR bill in Senate. We want to go all out with all our might and resources to get our provisions in the new CIR bill. As members have already seen how much this bill hurts our interests and if we do not do something ourselves we do not have much support from outside. The H1B increase provision has much attention, support for various lobbying groups and opposition at the same time from various anti-immigrant organizations. However our provisions and cause require much needed attention and support in order for us to succeed. Our cause is just and few technical changes can very well fix the problems faced by 1.1 million high-skilled applicants waiting for their greencards. For most lawmaker high skilled immigration issues only meant increasing H-1B numbers. Most lawmakers are now aware of employment based green card issues and are aware or organized effort called Immigration Voice. We have been able to convince large technology and healthcare companies/groups to recognize that employment based green card delays is a massive issue. But this is not enough for our provisions to come on the floor and be passed. Tremendous investment in lobbying efforts is required in the current CIR that is a disastrous bill for our community.
There is a possibility that some of our provisions may get included in this CIR. Some of the amendments on Thomas already have some of our provisions along with H1B provisions. However the chance of those amendments passing is not certain.We are working hard to get something done. IV team is committed to explore every possibility and actively working towards that end. But please understand that it is not easy to get something done. There are hurdles we face due to the politics of the situation and intense lobbying of anti-immigrant organizations that are well funded. This is a hard reality. To get something done, it is of utmost importance that more members actively participate in this effort, contribute again and get new members to join and contribute to Immigration Voice. Each member visiting this forum needs to understand that it is your responsibility to actively participate in this effort because this is your effort, because this effort will solve problems that are yours and mine.
Due to the hard work of immigration voice and its members over the past 1.5 year, many lawmakers are now ready to listen and do the needful for us. We are also working with several like minded organizations and groups to help our community. But that is not enough to get our provisions passed with a majority vote. It can be because we have not yet done our part to the extent it is required to collectively petition lawmakers with our grievances. This is one more reason why more active participation and contribution is required.
The point is that Immigration Voice is doing everything that is possible. IV Core team member�s green card application is also pending and like other members, IV core team members are very passionate and motivated about solving the green card problems. We work hard during our regular work hours and on weekends, take vacations to travel on IV work and pay for the trip from our own pockets. We do this because we are also in this greencard mess like everyone else, and we feel responsible and commited to this effort. We all know that it is difficult to change things in Washington, especially when we are a small group. But we have experienced that it is possible that we can get our provisions passed. Immigration Voice needs more resources and this effort needs more active members. To achieve this, we need more resources in terms of contribution from all our members. (Note: Immigration Voice is Tax exempt under section 501(c)(4) of the Internal Revenue Code, since Immigration Voice is not an organization as described in section 170(c) of the code, donors may not deduct contributions that have been made) Immigration Voice would appeal all new members to please contribute and of the members who have already contributed in the past to please consider contributing again.
With all our hard work over the past 1.5 year, we are well poised to make a difference and represent the high-skilled immigrant community in DC. Media also calls us for comments on any Immigration related news story. Other organizations and groups contact us for collaboration and to seek help. Many lawmaker offices now know us and our cause. And there is a lot that has happened since we started. Most of these things we are not able to disclose on the open forums. But please understand that we need more funds to continue this effort so that we could all see our provisions into law. Immigration Voice is not about one, five twenty of fifty of us. It is about all of us currently in the queue and those that are about to join the queue. Lobbying is very expensive and if we have hired the top lobbyists there is to help us, there are investments we need to make for it too. Now, if this is any indication of how far we have come, I assure all members that we can do it, together.
In the past 2 weeks we got contributions ranging mostly between $10 - $100 and few $200 from roughly 100 members. I�m sure we all can do much better than that. Such amount can at best support hosting this website, pay for webfaxes and buy few hours of lobbying time from the best lobbyists there is in this country. Lobbying is the most important part of our effort and it can make a difference for our provision. Getting an amendment from a Senator�s office on Thomas is not our aim. We need to work hard to get it on the floor and be voted by a majority. This is a big task and huge lobbying effort is required if we have to go all out to get something done in this CIR bill.
Please be assured that IV core team is doing whatever is possible with the limited resources. And regardless of what happens in the next few months, Immigration voice would urge all members and readers of these forums to please contribute to this effort. Because what IV core team will be able to achieve will ultimately depend on how much trust you put in this effort.
Your IV team

Folks,
I need to invoke AC21 at the earliest. I have applied my 485 and I-140 concurrently on Aug 17th. It has just been over 183 days. My 140 is still pending. Due to some reasons, I have to leave my current employer immodestly.
I know there has been lot of threads discussing about risks involved with using AC21 without approved 140. But I do not have an option at this point. My PD date is Nov-2004 and the way I-140 's are being processed, it is going take at least couple more months before I can expect my 140 approval.
I have the following questions:
1) I read in Aytes memo, that if it is over 180 days, they would check for evidence that the case is approval or would have been approval had it been adjudicated within 180 days. Now, if the USCIS sends an RFE for 140 after 180 days, would it still go to my old firm's attorney? If yes, then how would we handle this scenarrio...
I work for a Big 5 Consulting firm and ability to pay should not be an issue. As far as my education is concerned, I have Bachelors in Computer Science Engineering from India and a MS in the same field in US...My experience matches the labor cert. requirements. What are the chance that I might get an RFE? I filed my application at TSC
2) Also, if the 140 is approved, it would go to my old company's attorney..right? How would I get a copy of the same.
3) If I invoke AC21 using my EAD and in the worst case scenario, if my 140 and 485 is rejected, can I then transfer my H1B to an other company (I still have some years left) or will that be a problem because I was not on H-1b at that time?
Would it be treated as a new application where in I have to try to get into the quota or it would just be a normal H-1b transfer...
Also, I'm looking for a good attorney to help me invoke AC21...Please advise!
Gurus... please help me with your suggestions.

No I am not a research fellow. Just Telecomm Engineer who has Master's Degree from US. I just interpreted Research Item in 221G Green Document as my Thesis work and explained it in the research statement along with the other documents.

That probably was unnecessary and may triggered the additional check due to export control of high end researches.

Hello,
I have a question, this is about my mom's H1 B visa. Her H1B visa is about to expire in one month.(she had a maximum stay for 6 years). But my grandfather had applied for a greencard process for my mom through family based and we are 2 months away from getting the visa numbers. So Is there any way my mom can extend her H1B. She is currently working as a teacher. (There are lot of options for people who applied for Greencard process through employment, but I don't see any for family based greencard process). Any help would be really appreciated.
Thank You.
Are you sure she is 2 months away in getting her visa number current? For example if her priority date is Jan 1st 1998 and they are currently processing Nov 1st 1997. It seems like you mother will be current in 2 months but it could take USCIS 2 years to move forward 2 months in processing. Processing dates don't move by calendar time.
Maybe I am misunderstanding your question. If so please ignore the above.
If she has been out of the country for any significant amount of time during the 6 years she can file an extension for that time. I would not recommend that she continue to work if the H1 has expired and I think you should consult an attorney to figure out her options.

But my grandfather had applied for a greencard process for my mom through family based and we are 2 months away from getting the visa numbers. So Is there any way my mom can extend her H1B. She is currently working as a teacher. (There are lot of options for people who applied for Greencard process through employment, but I don't see any for family based greencard process). Any help would be really appreciated.
Thank You.
Are you sure she is 2 months away in getting her visa number current? For example if her priority date is Jan 1st 1998 and they are currently processing Nov 1st 1997. It seems like you mother will be current in 2 months but it could take USCIS 2 years to move forward 2 months in processing. Processing dates don't move by calendar time.
Maybe I am misunderstanding your question. If so please ignore the above.

Since there is a quota, priority date will come into play. That is why the new bill specifies that those who files I-140 after May 21, 2007 and those whose LC are approved or pending will maintain their priority dates. Anyone who files under the new point based system will have their receipt dates as their priority dates.
Its not clear yet if priority date comes into the picture at all. Nothing is clear yet, for example for the Canadian points system does not have a country quota or any limits on the number of gc every year. There is a cetain pass mark and if you have the required pass marks you make it.
With the CIR points system there is an annual limit and also a country quota, so how will they select candiddates,
1. based on pass marks?
2. based on who has the highest number of points for each country
3. Does the priority date come into plat at all?
hope somebody has the answers for these questions.

These should be called "Payed Services". What do you think ?
I highly oppose calling those "Payed Services", but I am ok with "Paid Services" ;)

Very true - unfortunately my case that was received at SFO regional office in July'04 got transferred to PBEC in Oct'04. It is still rotting there! I read somewhere that BECs were supposed to follow adjudication process of CA SWAs and Regional offices due to their proven efficiency compared to other states. Wish they did - clearly they didn't

USCIS Proc Times Update 06/15/09
NSC I-485 Sept 1st 2007
TSC I-485 Aug 17th 2007
So the dates are moving ahead but what does this really imply ? With priority dates retrogessed to around 2000 and no visa numbers availble for EB3. Who is getting the GC. Is it only the Eb2 with PD around 2000 or any one else.
Does anyone has more info to better understand what these dates imply ?

Don't worry about the text of the bill, it's purely a placeholder for something to be introduced as an amendment later.
The text of the bill has two section: Sec 1: Title, Sec 2: Sense of the Senate, neither of which carry any force of law.

is it from the receipt date or notice date?
It starts from the receipt date, and USCIS confirmed it multiple times in their receipting update on the website.
