I hope it does some good to you and makes your PD current/closer so that you dont eat/sleep/drink VB. C mon man... There are other things you can do. Dont get offended by what I am saying. If your PD is closer, I can understand your excitement. But a lot of people are just killing time in forums by working their ass off on predictions and call it comic relief. I hope IV core members stop encouraging this kind of behavior.
Oh God! Take a break buddy. Why does everything have to end with - "please close this thread" or "hope someone closes this thread.." If you dont like to read something, just ignore the thread..dont show off the two feet inside the big mouth!!

the fact that it applies only for illegals..
`Sec. 245B. (a) In General- The Secretary of Homeland Security may adjust the status of an alien to that of an alien lawfully admitted for permanent residence if the alien--
`(1) was physically present in the United States for a continuous period of not less than 5 years immediately preceding the date on which this provision was enacted and has maintained continuous physical presence since then.

Well, I don't think I am at the end of line of 300,000 people. There must be lots and lots of people whose priority date is after April 2004 might have filed. This includes 2004, 2005, 2006 and 2007.
So I think 3 years is intelligent guess. But who knows I am just trying to make myself happy and trying to stay positive.
Also remeber there is a big number of LC BACKLOG cases, all with PD prior to 2005, that will be cleared by end of next month and would get to apply AOS some time soon.

They should have some logic regarding PD's (INDIA).
EB1 - Current
EB2 - April 2004 (4 YEARS Between 1 & 2)
EB3 - November 2001 (2.5 YEARS Between 2 & 3)
Why there is so much diff between each category.

Disagree, the reason you see lot of cases with (older PDs but later RDs) still awaiting approval is because when the PDs were current these cases were still not ripe (e.g: they were waiting name check clearance)....
.
My argument was on when your file will be looked at the first time. Of course, to get visa number numerous conditions, such as PD Currency, name-check, various documents, etc., have to be met. What I meant is that your file will be looked at the first time, only after cases physically received at the center reviewing your case (no matter what RD is shown on your receipt) before your case was recieved, have been looked at.
Thus, even if you name check is cleared, your PD is Current, and you provided all required documents, if there are cases physically received before your case was received (no matter what RD is shown on your receipt) which are still to be looked at (at least once), your file will not be looked at.
Note that when you call Customer Support, they recognize Receive Date what you see in your online status as "...your case was received on...", which may be quite different than RD on your receipt.
Processing Dates published in monthly reports for each center are manually entered by their staff, and do not tell whether those dates mean "no case is pending older than this date", or "at least one case has been dealt with past this date", as the truth is something in between.
Of course, internal processing and handling of physical files could be anything but known to the outside world. For example, it is possible that an officer was given a bundle of cases to look at, but then he/she proceeds on leave for 4 weeks, leaving them on desk to work on his/her return.

While IV is already on the major Restrictionists (NumbersUSA, FAIR, CIS.org etc) Radar, it is now being followed by smaller, single issue restrictionist organizations like the Anti-h1b Zazona. Ever wonder why Mr. Sanchez of Zazona targets only Legal Immigrants - people who've always followed the rules laid down by their US lawmakers- like us, instead of illegals??
Perhaps Mr. Sanchez can answer that one next time he visits this website..:)

JOB DESTRUCTION NEWSLETTER
by Rob Sanchez
April 26, 2006 No. 1466
------------------------<<<>>>------------------------
A new organization of called Immigration Voice (IV) has been formed to
lobby the U.S. government. Most of the members are foreign nationals on
H-1B visas. They want the U.S. government to issue more green cards so that
H-1Bs can gain permanent residency. Immigration Voice seems to be a single
issue advocacy group because they don't mention H-1B, however, they are
supporting the Specter bill in the Senate that has a massive increase in
Green Card visas as well as H-1B and a new visa called F-4.
H-1B is a temporary visa that can last for up to six years, but due to a
new 7th Year Extension rule visas can be renewed indefinitely until the
visa holder obtains a green card. As long as the green card application is
in the cue the H-1B can stay. There are limits to the number of green cards
issued per year, and that is what IV wants to change. As Dr. Philip Martin
from UCDavis wrote, "There Is Nothing More Permanent Than Temporary Foreign
Workers." To read Martin's classic paper go to:
http://www.cis.org/articles/2001/back501.html
The stated goal from their website:
http://immigrationvoice.org/
Our big initiative currently is towards addressing delays
and other flaws in the employment based green card process.
Immigration Voice formed very quickly and they are showing that they are
very serious about lobbying the U.S. government. They hired a professional
lobbying firm to represent them called Quinn Gillespie & Associates LLC. IV
also is talking with the infamous lobbyist Rick Swartz. Norman Matloff
described Swartz as a "pro-immigration lobbying kingpin who has represented
both industry firms such as Microsoft and also the ISN". Mark Krikorian at
CIS is usually low key, but not when he wrote about Rick Swartz:
http://www.cis.org/articles/2004/markoped033104.html
And then there's the National Immigration Forum, the umbrella
organization for high-immigration political advocacy, which
works closely with sympathetic Republicans. But NIF is not like
the conventional lobbying coalitions that exist on numerous
issues. It was cofounded by the National Lawyers Guild in the
1980s, back when the Guild was a Soviet front group. The group's
first head was Rick Swartz, a leftist attorney who cut his teeth
advocating for Haitian illegal aliens and who, during a 1981
Senate hearing, likened the United States to Nazi Germany.
Most of the Immigration Voice activities seem to center around fund raising
to pay for their lobbying efforts. They aren't talking about chump change
either. Here are their contributions so far, which must be reported since
they are applying for 501-C(4) status.
http://immigrationvoice.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=26&Ite
mid=44
Total Contribution $90,640.10
Target $200,000
Percentage of Target Met 45.3%
When I started reading the Washington Post article below the first question
that came to my mind was the legality of H-1Bs and other foreign nationals
to actively lobby our government. The DOJ answers that very definitively:
http://www.usdoj.gov/criminal/fara/q_A.htm
Foreign Agents Registration Act
Q. Does the Act limit an agent's lobbying and publishing
informational materials (propaganda) for a Foreign
principal?
A. No, the Act requires only registration.
The article below is written by Mitra Kalita. She was born in the U.S. by
parents who immigrated to the U.S. from India. Her bio can be read here:
http://www.pbs.org/searching/aaw_mkalita.html
Kalita does a good job of reporting what Immigration Voice is all about but
the article is not objective, and therefore should be considered lousy
journalism. It's a rather long article with quotes from many advocates for
increasing immigration but not one sentence from somebody that disagrees
with the IV agenda. This statement about IV's quest for more green cards
for H-1B visa holders goes totally unchallenged:
"This is a sympathetic story," said Nick Maduros, a lobbyist
for Quinn Gillespie. "For this group, their issues are very
technical and are frankly not that controversial, but they
have been overshadowed ."
>>>>> THE BIG QUESTION <<<<<
Immigration Voice raises many questions but one stands up in my mind as the
most important:
WHY AFTER 16 YEARS OF H-1B HAVE AMERICAN WORKERS FAILED TO ORGANIZE
THEMSELVES TO FIGHT FOR THEIR JOBS?
There have been many attempts at forming organizations but all of them are
struggling. In all their years of existence they haven't been able to raise
even a fraction of the money IV has raised in just four months. ZaZona.com
as well as many others are operating on such small shoestring budgets we
are continually struggling just to survive.
Why do citizens of the United States lack the passion we are seeing from
foreign nationals that are here both legally and illegally?
One thing for sure, we shouldn't waste time griping about Immigration Voice
because they are playing the political game according to our own rules. If
we lose this one, who's fault is it?
Perhaps Mr. Sanchez can answer that one next time he visits this website..:)

Unfortunately that report just shows that we are now on the radar of FAIR, a a very aggressive anti-immigrant group. Google to learn more about FAIR.
Did you read the title and the comment?
Of course, this is not surprising, that anti-immigrants are furious to discover that we have anything to do with Congress.
Looks like someone is finally posting from our side too there !

If point sysem is introduced the big losers are immigration lawyers as they cannot make money in multiple stages. So no wonder if they oppose. Of course there is some limitations but its sucess depends on rules and regulations. Also there is going to be a Cap and there is going to be a provision to prevent displacement of US workers as the worldwide demand is always here. But main advantage is it will bring down the work load of various agencies like DOL and INS also employers.
the reason it will never work is not the lawyers. the immig lawyers for the most part are honest people.
the problem is the employers. employee's loss is employer's gain. it is simple enough. if the point based immigrant is allowed in with a EAD or a green card (like in canada/australia), the employers lose out big time.
The only reason h1 exists is because employers want cheap labour. That is why they want more h1s. Because h1s are justified from business point of view, that is why it is illegal to charge the employee for the h1 costs.
But they never talk about how the h1s get screwed.

Please tell us when you applied , and NSC or TSC , EB3 or EB2, etc..so we will get some idea? thanks..
I recently applied for my renewal (AP & EAD) - got my AP approved in less than 3 weeks (which is good processing time).
Validity was for one year, only and from the date the previous AP expired.
EAD - Still waiting - it's 47th day, today and counting. Hopefully before I hit the 60 day mark...that seems to be the processing time, these days.
