The problem is my attorney is insisting that the letter that they sent for my employer's signature is "required" to successfully respond to this RFE.
Could you please explain this a bit. I am not sure if I am understanding this right.

I have sent letter twice. They forward it as it is to USCIS and send a reply back that it has been forwarded to USCIS for action. Then you receive a letter or call from USCIS that your case cannot be considered unless your PD becomes current.

Hello All,
just wanted to share my Finger Printing Experience.
I am july 2nd filer, EB2.
NSC -CSC - NSC case.
Got my FP done today,
however I noticed that on my ASC notice, my SSN has been printed incorrectly.
I called USCIS and made the correction.
I was surprised & furious at the same time, by seeing this mistake from USCIS.
Their system is so bad, they are not even verifying the Name to the corresponding SSN. Had I missed to notice, I would have been stuck either at FBI name check or by a querry from USCIS later for a long long time.
Already the wait is long enough.
Anyways, dont relax just seeing your EADs and APs, watch every detail on whatever they send.
Regards
CSE
Did you ever file a Service Request for your FP?

10/31/2008: PERM Filing Alert for IT Occupations and Certain Professional Occupations
When the permanent labor certification system used DOT system, there were a number of IT occupations that fell under SVP 8. When the DOL changed the permanent labor certification system, it abandoned DOT system which focused on SVP concept. Since then OFLC has been using O*Net Job Zone concept and applied Job Zone 4 as equivalent to SVP 7 that can require from two years to maximum four years of preparation time (education, training, and experience). The Job Zone 5 is practically equivalent to SVP 8 that can require from four years to 10 years of preparation time (education, training, and experience). During the DOT era which ended on March 27, 2005, some IT occupations fell under SVP 7 and some IT occupations fell under SVP 8. Accordingly, EB-2 labor certifications for IT occupations were filed and approved when the occupations fell under SVP 8. Software Engineer, DBA, Science/Engineering Application Programmer, etc. illustrate these IT occupations.
When the O*Net Job Zones replaced the DOT, the system downgraded all the IT occupations into Job Zone 4 except Computer Information and System Manager occupation (IT Manager) which remained at Job Zone 5. Since all the IT occupations other than IT manager belonged to the Job Zone 4, had the DOL strictly adhered to Job Zone system as they interpreted, any applications for IT occupations that required more than a bachelor's degree plus two years of experience should have faced a business necessity challenge and denials in most of such applications. However, from March 28, 2005 until June 2007, the DOL de facto adhered to their previous practice under the DOT system and most of the EB-2 IT occupations such as Software Engineer, DBA, etc., which belonged to SVP 8 under DOT system, have been approved without much challenge.
The landscape changed beginning from July 2007 when they started focusing on the integrity of labor certification system. The agency started challenging such EB-2 requirement even for the SVP 8 IT occupations under DOT if it belonged to the Job Zone 4. The challenge took a form of "audit." Such EB-2 requirements have faced a massive challenge and audits. However, the former SVP 8 IT cases have been approved after the audits in a large number of cases. This practice is expected to change once the new form ETA 9089 PERM application program is launched next year since the new form will automatically consider such EB-2 requirement for IT occupations as the business necessity cases for exceeding the Job Zone 4 requirement. Initinally, DOL was scheduled to launch the new ETA 9089 form beginning from January 1, 2009, but luckily they pushed off the starting date to late Spring of 2009. That was a good news.
Bad news is a further change in O*Net Job Zone for IT manager occupations. They just changed the O*Net data into version 13.0 which down graded IT manager job zone from 5 to 4! The last vestige of Job Zone 5 in IT occupations has been cruelly crushed to death. Since EB-2 occupation must require either a master's degree or Bachelor's degree plus five years of progressive experience, now all the IT occupations exceed the Job Zone 4 allowed preparation time. We will have to wait and see how this change in Job Zone for IT manager occupation will be managed in actual adjudication of PERM applications hereon, but it is certainly not a positive news.
The recent downgrading of professional occupations from Job Zone 5 to Job 4 does not end with the IT occupations. There are a number of professional occupations that have been downgraded practically to nonprofessional occupations in some cases. Company General Manager is downgraded to Job Zone 3!! Employers who start PERM recruitment should review the attached Job Zone changes and seek legal advice. Believe me, there are a lot of surprises.

Hi. I don't know the answer to your first question but from what's I've read, anyone who is adjusting status needs to do fingerprinting and it's done every year until greencard is approved. For your second question, a person needs to fill out I-9 form (http://www.uscis.gov/files/form/i-9.pdf) through employer to activate EAD. For your third question, you can search the threads for late june filers. You might find the answer in all their replies there. Congratulations for getting your EAD. We're still waiting for ours. :confused:
We got our EAD in the mail today - We are late June filers (29th June) and got our receipt numbers last week, - I have some q's-
-Can one get EAD without completing FInger printing? In the finger priniting colum on the EAD it says - not available, Would that matter?
-How does one activate his/her EAD?
-Have any other late june filers already got their EAD?
Thanks
Sheetal

Based on Assement in this article, it almost seems that the chances of STRIVE are dead even before it goes to House Immigration Commettee. I am not trying to be negative or something but the article has such a tone. I can understand that Pelosi did not schedule any timing but what concerns me most is the fact that
"California Democrat Zoe Lofgren, who chairs the Judiciary Subcommittee on Immigration, Citizenship, Refugees, Border Security and International Law, will hold hearings before marking up any bill"
Now we all know how one sided these hearings are and how long they take. In nutshell these hearings give chance to any tom, dick and harry to express his opinion and create melodrama. We already worry about melodrama of people such as Sen Sessions in the Senate. Add this drama, and it can easily eat the short window we have to get the relief. I really hope I am wrong here but I have a bad feeling about this :(:mad:

2/ What can we do to communicate our agenda to senators and congressmen?
The most effective method is to fax your suggestions to the lawmakers� offices across the country. We should start with the sponsors and co-sponsors of the PACE bill. Pls learn how you can access PACE co-sponsors names in the 3rd post at this thread:
http://immigrationvoice.org/forum/showthread.php?t=151
Also in the above thread (1st post) you will find a word attachment that articulates our basic agenda. Please use material freely from that letter, or even the whole letter itself, to communicate with your lawmakers.
This is the link to contact details and web pages of various senators:
http://www.senate.gov/general/contact_information/senators_cfm.cfm
Find your senator�s name and webpage listed there and fax your letters to them at the numbers listed under Contact Me. Pls note that for the most part, you can contact only the senator of your home state. So, for e.g., if you live in New Mexico, you have to contact only the senators from NM. Please include your name, address, phone number and e-mail id in your fax. Due to this limitation, it is very important that we connect with PhDs in various states so that we can contact all senators and congressmen across the country.
Once you fax it to them, they will most likely contact you with questions or to just thank you for your letter/ fax. If you do not hear from them in 3-5 days, it is advisable to call up their office and ask if they received your message and how they are following it up.

kpchal2 & seekerofpeace - I have run out of ideas now.
While we wait for October 1st (assuming visa numbers are over), what can be done in the next 13 days?
I am checking with different attorneys, and might change from my current attorney as he is totally useless. He opened a SR for me, and everytime I call him, he tells me to wait for 30 days.
I have taken Infopass, met the local senator, opened SR and nothing worked. Any ideas on what can be done next?

Hi,
My company is asking me to pay the extension fees for 3rd term with same company. I had approved 140. In USCIS receipt it says amount received: $320. Then why I am asked to pay $1820. Is the $1500 towards training is to be paid by employee or employer?
Most probably the 1500 is attorney fees.

A 700billion$ bailout is not helping much. You think we can help the economy? We are at the mercy of the employers whose earning results are going down because of recession. :( It is hard for me to believe that we can help the economy by buying houses and how are the law makers going to get convinced? Show me the proof.
500,000 Legal immigrants in limbo:
lets say (I mean lets Tell them) 1/5 th of that # buy on an average $300K houses.
That equates to $30 billion.. Not a bad #. But I am sure all want to buy houses eventually. Thats $150 billion. Not a small #.
Lets say (again tell them).
1/100 th of 500,000 start companies, of 5 employees each=25,000 jobs.. Not bad again.
This idea is inline with our IV campaign that was discussed sometime back. We can tell in different forms to the media. Somebody may publish.

I would go with the prediction in the Jan 2010 Visa Bulletin:
WHAT ARE THE PROJECTIONS FOR CUT-OFF DATE MOVEMENT IN THE EMPLOYMENT PREFERENCES FOR THE REMAINDER OF FY-2010?
Based on current indications of demand, the best case scenarios for cut-off dates which will be reached by the end of FY-2010 are as follows:
Employment Second:
China: July through October 2005................CHINA IS ALREADY AT NOV 2005...SO THIS HAS HAPPENED
India: February through early March 2005.........ONE MONTH BEHIND HERE....NOT BAD WITH THE PREDICTION
If Section 202(a)(5)were to apply:
China and India: October through December 2005 ..................THIS IS THE SPILLOVER CHANCES FOR JULY-SEPT 2010....MOST LIKELY IT WILL CLOSE AT JAN 1, 2006
I tend to agree with you. Projections by DOS seems to be closer to reality.
I would stay conservative contrary to many other predictions.
1) China moving to Nov 2005 is a good thing for India. This means India will get all the remaining fall-down/fall-across numbers until priority date reaches Nov 2005. After that both India and China will share and move the dates by a month or so. This should get India to Dec 2005 to Jan 2006.
2) Many see the dates have not moved much for so many months. So they can be skeptical about the date movements in the last few months. The reason why i anticipate much larger movements in the final months is due to the fact that India gets about 3 times more visas through fall-across/fall-down than what is alloted for just India.
2009 info
Country cap for Eb-2 - aprox. 2800
2009 India for Eb-2 was 10,116.
fall-down/fall-across numbers 10,116 - 2800 = aprox. 7316
So we can see that visa movement for India (Eb-2) is greatly influenced by the number of fall-down/fall-across which seem to happen mostly in the last quarter.

This definitely gives an incentive for people to start contributing. This is like for the people, by the people. To be able to have an organization with direct access to the USCIS in helping resolve desperate situations. But for this to continue to be in existence with that kind of outreach, needs monetary contributions from all members who are in their GC journey regardless of how safe or straight forward their case may be.

They won't wait for your PD to be current to issue FP Notice.
Also, I don't think (my 2 cents) its advisable to travel before FP.. You never know when it will come and if you miss it... its considered as if you ignored it... They will issue one more FP notice before closing your AOS application...
So its needed to keep track of FP notice...
