I've mailed my application on 3/16 and received by Houston office on 3/18 as per fedex tracking..
I sent an email to passportcgihouston@swbell.net on friday and got the response that my application was not registered in their system..
Is there some waiting time to register the application in the system?? I'll send another mail after 2 days..hopefully it will be registered by then..
did u e-mail them this week?Is ur application registered in their system....I mailed mine on 25th and it was delivered on 26th and I am wondering when it would be in their system???

Years we have been told priority date establishes your place in the queue.
We have spurned job offers and declined the new PERM process to hold on to the priority dates.
Many are still awaiting labor certifications from the backlog elimination centers. Out comes USCIS and says everyone with a LC can file I140 & I485.
People still waiting for LC with priority dates in 2003-2004 are seeing applicants who have priority dates as late as 2007 but with approved LCs through PERM walk through to I485.
Net result, USCIS is going to be flooded with applicants enough to retrogress the priority dates 3-4 years back as early as september. (Everybody with a LC will be able to file for I485 in July). So applicants with priority dates of 2007 are going to get EAD and GC, while LC backlogged 2003 applicants to have to wait for another 3-4 years before they can even file I485.
Aint fair. Aint fair at all. How can this be. How can rules be changed in the middle of the game.
My case was stuck in BEC for a couple of years and was cleared some time back. (Disclaimer).
But I totally sympathise with you. A few of my friends are still stuck in BEC and I feel very bad that I am moving forward even though my PD is newer than theirs.
I believe this issue can be very easily resolved with some kind of grassroot level push from all of us, lawyers and law makers. If USCIS can process 50,000+ applications in a matter of days, what is preventing another govt. agency from processing a similar number of applicants in a couple of weeks? Only thing is that they all need to be made aware of this injustice. I believe this is the next agenda that IV should take up.
I am going to send a PM to IV core regarding this issue. Any one else with me on this?
Cheers,

having PD current and Processing time current does not mean that the applicant will get GC. the state department actually moves cutoff dates in the VB because USCIS is not productive enough (not processing applications on time) to use up all the available visas for that quarter or year and they are afraid that those visas will go to waste. so they move the cutoff date on the VB (make more people current) so Consular processing will have more applications to pull from and then approve more applications.
so now we have to have PD current processing time for that service center is current and also be lucky so an IO will pick up our application to be processed. (it is actually little depressing)

Honestly I don't even see a point for these discussions, polls or predictions for EB3-I. The sooner we accept we are doomed the better. The only way out is to help ourselves but I don't think many EB3's are willing to do that.
I spoke to several in my office with earlier EB3 PD's (who might not even get GC's in the next 5-10 years !) and of course with EAD's and they have literally substituted EAD for a GC. They were once a part of IV (and some similar org's ?!) but now have completely lost hope and don't care. I tried to motivate them to join IV and support but they feel that IV does not cater to EB3's anymore. Sadly they are not even trying to port to EB2. They are just content with a job and EAD.
So, I am not really sure how many of us are actually willing to fight ?!
In fact it's even worse for people like me who are still waiting to file their I-485. Is it going to take us 5,10 or 20 years just to get an EAD ?!

H1Bs can't get EB1C. They need to be outside country in 1 out of 3 prceeding years. EB1C is intracompany transfer visa. Even if one is on H1B, they will be need to moved to L1A before they attempt this to my knowledge. Again we are not here to fix the world., we are here to fight for our cause and get going.. Lets be clear.. Most guys after getting their Citizenship, will also vote for republicans... So to me if we can somehow through, under, around get that visa recapture, we are all back to business my friend.. It is not a separate issue. It is the issue..
I agree. Many folks on this site in their desperate quest for GC are trying to find fault with everyone else in the community. Even if USCIS bans these EB1 guys from GC ( a wild dream. multinational managers are a genuine role in this global economy) it won't fetch many visa numbers as some EB2 guys here are hoping. If you want to get your GC fast, fight the system ( country cap/insufficient visa numbers) unified.

BREAKING NEWS: LOFGREN GIVES USCIS THREE DAYS TO ANSWER QUESTIONS
http://blogs.ilw.com/gregsiskind/
Congresswoman Zoe Lofgren (D-CA), chair of the House Immigration Subcommittee, sent Secretary Chertoff a list of questions and a request for documents from USCIS to get to the bottom of the whole Visa Bulletin fiasco. The letter is very interesting not just because it puts a heck of a lot of pressure on DHS right now, but also because Lofgren's folks imply from the questions that USCIS was short circuiting established security clearance procedures to "pre-request" visa numbers from DOS. If it turns out full security clearances were not carried out, USCIS will either need to say that they had the legal justification (which would be a public relations disaster for the agency) or that they intended to complete the checks after the fact (which would be a direct violation of their own regulations). The only way to avoid answering the questions and to make this go away would be to eat crow and start working the case July cases.
This is great. Go IV!!!!

My priroty date is August-2006 in EB-3. Last year i asked my employer to file in EB2 PERM petion and he has agreed for it. They applied my PERM application in August 1st 2010 in EB-2. I have been communicating the petition status with my attorney since my petion has been filed with DOL. When i contacted my attorney's office to check the petion status, they said my PERM applicant is in-processing status all the time. Finally, i requested my attorney saying write a wirtten letter to the Department of Labor in last week. He called me yesterday and said your application has been approved the DOL in August 2010. But his office never recived any hard copy or email. When they checked the PERM status, they never saw the petion was in approved status. Today when the checked the petition satus, they can see the application has been approved in Auguest and it is now exipired.
Please let me know what options i have.
Can i re-appeal with the DOL? I am not sure wherether my company has filed or not. Can i file a lawsuite on DOL or my current employeer?

Here is the link:

Enter your zip code and find the doctor. Once the medical exam is done, the physician will give you two medical reports, an open one for you and a sealed report for USCIS you should submit with your 485 documents

I believe there are always two camps in any group, different view points, ideas and observations.
I firmly believe even if words are harsh from some members they donot mean that bad, or they just simply cant see other's view point.
Over last few year, i have observed something and that bothers me, the point is
"We (Indians) are interesting people, we want to live as an indian in america";
save a lot of money, go home(india) for 15 days ....say bad things about india
and then come here...start saying bad things about america.
Nothing about this behavior is specific to Indians. It is a first generation immigrant behavior. See if you children are going to do it...
I like some points aobut half hearted work from some fellows. I totally agree.
Here is my simply take, if we want to live and compete hapilly, we have to really live in america as an american.
How can an indian who slept all afternoon on weekend, then watched a movie and ate heavy dinnner at night with 5 indian families who all taked about negative things in america; will /can compete with american on monday morning...when this american
got up early on saturday, ran 10 miles ...full of energy....took his/her kids for camping or went on its own, ran /exercised on sunday may be a long trek in woods...he is fresh, ready to work, creative...
I donot think anyone who slept all week/watched movie/talked negative about american society /about america can compete with someone who lived for full weekend.
Really? An active lifestyle, being outdoors, energetic etc. are qualities of an American? A country where 70% of people are supposed to be overweight? Where some say 30% to 40% of schoolchildren are obese? I would agree with your argument for an active lifestyle versus a lazy one. However generalizing to things like getting up early/running/trekking/outdoorsy etc. as typical American traits is pushing it.
If I want to catch up on my sleep on the weekends, why not? I sleep less than 6 hours a day on average during the week. Sleeping less = poor output and also has been linked to poor cardiac health.
These are just small observations.
In short, most of us are still living an indian life in america. This will not take us far,
If we want to be happy we got to live as an american in america.
Money is not everything,a big bankbalance will do no good to anyone at age of 65 when you cant move your leg let apart run or play.
I also believe, we (indians) donot give time to ourselves. Ex. husband, wife, kids all together all the time. No good, give time to yourself, do somtihngs togehter and some things seperately, This will give time to observe life as an individual too.
You dont have to blindly believe that everything that is American is good.
For example, Americans work the longest hours of any developed country. Does this increase your standard of living. They have the fewest holidays/vacation days.
Maybe doing things separately is your "American way" of fun. Doing things with my family is my way. What's wrong with that. At least we dont have a 50% divorce rate and dont kick our kids out of our homes when they turn 18.
how many indian go out for just all boys groupings, not many. Why??? how bad it can be, when you just go out kick some dust drink beer if you please, atleast releax.
When i started doing it, it was lot of fun.
Same should be with girls, wives, you all should go out and do things with your friends for a change.
same for kids, if your kids want to go camping with school friends, let them go. Let kids live their life. Imaging what your kids talks about weekend, when rest of american kids talk about running in wood, fishing, hunting, mud racing.....????
Just my thoughts and i believe in living life to fullest; and try to live it to fullest too.
I go out and meet friends by myself. Why does it have to be all boys? Why do I have to drink beer (yucky/stinky stuff by the way). My wife does the same with her friends. Kid is too youg for this.
My point is you are trying to fit into your image of an american. You will never fit in completely. You are hoping your beer buddies are laughing with you and not at you. Be yourself- however Indian or American it may be.
