I got an RFE on Nov 15th for copies of my degree certificates and my attorney sent them in a few after getting the RFE notice. I had an LUD on Nov 30th (Date when they received response to RFE) saying case processing has resumed. I also have another LUD on Dec 2nd. But the status still says case processing resumed. Does anyone know why there are 2 LUD's even though the case status is the same. Does it mean anything?
any replies on this !!

It is my understanding that many GC applicants do not need labor clearance. Nurses, EB1 folks etc. etc. So the total demand for GC = 30K labor cases + 100K non-labor cases. That would only leave 10K for retrogressed countries.
Due to the economic downturn there aren't many companies sponsoring GCs for employees. I doubt it would be more than 20 to 30k per year from now. This leaves 100-110k visas available every year for retrogressed countries like india and china
if there 300-400k pending GC applications in all categories then shouldn't all of us get our GC in next 3-4 years?

Highly Skilled Professionals Call on Congress to Pass Green Card Reforms
Immigration Voice Organizes Congressional Advocacy Days for Highly Skilled Legal Professionals
Washington, D.C. – From April 4-5 2011, over 175 members of Immigration Voice from around the nation will descend onto the nation's capital to ask their congressmen and senators for reforms to the broken Green-Card process.
“While K-Street, the Hi-Tech industry and Congress is distracted once again by H-1B visas, recycling the same old talking points one more time, Immigration Voice’s laser-like focus remains on the nearly 500,000 highly skilled immigrants who remain backlogged for 10-15 years waiting for their Green Cards,” said Aman Kapoor, president of Immigration Voice. “These highly-skilled professionals believe that the H-1B visa controversy sucks-up all the oxygen in the room whenever employment-based immigration policy is discussed. However, the real problem lies in the fact that there is a huge pool of talent untapped by American employers in the form of highly skilled legal professionals who have been living here on temporary visas as they patiently wait for their Green Cards. These law abiding, tax-paying, highly skilled future Americans, cannot start their own companies and immediately create jobs in America, change employers or accept promotions during the Green Card application process, which now spans 10-15 years. This creates serious quality of life issues and ultimately hurts the U.S. economy.
“Immigration Voice aims to create awareness with members of Congress, congressional staff and policy makers about the Green Card backlog, which inhibits job creation, entrepreneurship and wealth creation for all Americans. These immigrants are waiting to showcase their innovation leadership with their U.S. work experience American education. Immigration Voice will insist that Congress focus on the Green Card backlog rather than on H-1B visas,” concluded Kapoor.
Immigration Voice has arranged nearly 350 visits to congressional offices April 4-5 in both the House and Senate. You are invited to meet these activists at their Capitol Hill reception:
What: Immigration Voice Congressional Reception
When: 5:30 p.m. - 8:00 p.m., Tuesday, April 5th, 2011
Where: B-340 Rayburn House Office Building
To learn more and to arrange an interview with Immigration Voice on the dates listed above, Contact: Immigration Voice (202) 386-6250 or Press@ImmigrationVoice.org
Founded in December 2005, Immigration Voice is a rapidly growing, national grassroots, non-profit 501 (c)(4) organization with 57,000 highly-skilled legal immigrants as members. Immigration Voice is committed to commonsense reforms to the employment-based immigration and Green Card process.

TV25,
1) You were in H4 at first when U came to this country.
2) Then you were sponsored(H1) by some company.
3) you worked for 3 months.
4) went overseas to get stamped(visa) for H1. But they put you on hold for administrative process.
5) You decided to return with H4 visa that was valid at that time. (although technically you are not supposed to enter using H4 since you already started working on H1)
6) You came back to US on H4.
7) Get a letter from USCIS that h1 is denied.
What surprised me the whole time was, why did the consulate not cancel the existing H4 visa, since your status already changed?
That's the first thing they do, when you go for visa stamping...they cancel without prejudice, and issue a new visa....even if its going thru a administrative process, they would still cancel it, cause the assumption is you are going to get the new visa once the process is complete.
See that's what I exactly said in my last post. The COS that is obtained in the US is a "privelege" it is by no means supposed to over ride what the consulate decides in terms of the visa stamp. That is exactly the reason some of the applications get a H1 approval without the I-94. This is done because they are in no position to verify a lot of things that the consulate can verify. If you have a valid H4 stamp and you want to get back into H4 status instead of applying for another COS, you can go out of the country and enter using H4 and your status will change to H4.
Anyway, like I said in our case I asked the IO behind the counter in vancouver if she can use H4 to enter the US his response was "It depends on the officer at the POE ". Guys I spent a good two days researching this topic while we were stuck in vancouver. Basically you can come back but your status is reverted back to H4. You are not supposed to work once you are in the US. In our case we immediately applied for another COS prem processing within the US and it got approved. My wife again changed jobs last year on H1 and that got approved too.
In this case, the misrepresentation of facts in her H1 app is something the poster might want to get clarified. She should be fine.

I am also in similar situation although no RFE yet. I have submitted a non-availability of birth certificate letter and affadivit of parents. I have the following questions
(1) Do we get the letter from the muncipal office from the place of birth or we can get from the muncipal office that we are presently residing. (birth was in UP , residing in TN) I believe the non-availibility certificate has to be from the jurisdiction of the birth and not current residence
(2)What is the letter for , is it for birth certificate or for non availability of birth certificate. If you were born before a certain year (not sure about the exact year) there is a great chance that your birth was not registered. That is why you have to ask the local authority to search the records and give you a letter saying that such and such person's birth was not registered and no records exist
(3) Is there any body who has gotten a letter post a copy. (after removing personal details.)
Hope this helps. Again most of what I mentioned is information gathered from such postings here and there.

I just talked to an attorney. He said that if there is a long gap, your H1 may be approved but with out extension of stay (no I-94) and that I may have to go for visa stampling in the consulate in India. As I already have 1.5 years on h1, I was told that it doesn't go thru the cap. some one mentioned in the thread, that once you use EAD, and if u were to get H1 it would be under cap. I am not sure which one is correct.
If you are on H1 and switch to another H1- you do not need to worry about Cap
If you are on H1 and switch to EAD- you have relinquished your H1.Whenever you wish to resume your H1- at that time you will go against the Cap.
Hope this clarifies

how we can do it? we didn't get anything last time. I have wife and 2 kids. So it will be $1800.... when I checked last time it was said that for those who didn't get last time will get it automatically when they file return for 2008. Anybody knows more about it? Please let us know.
Or I guess we can always use Tax Firms also.
If your kids have SSN then you will probably get around 1200, from my guess. I am sure you will not get for your spouse, for lack of SSN.

Thanks for advice. Yes my last M.Sc. and Ph.D. from the USA.
Could you please clarify what "find out NIW holders in your / related engg field"? How can I find out?
Do you believe EB2-NIW is easier than EB1-OR?
Thank you,
John
You cannot apply for EB1-OR on your own. Only EB2-NIW and EB1-EA can be self-sponsored. If your employer applies for EB1-OR then it might be easier than EB2-NIW since you don' have any citations. To find out "NIW in your own field", talk to your adviser ... he might know other students who applied. You lawyer might have handled cases in your field. No citation is not good but hard to quantify what is a respectable number of citations. A few hundred might be okay in one field but maybe a thousand in another field of research/work.

One more question is right now my wife is on H4, My I140 and 485 are in pending, if my wife got EAD she can use it right?
2) If my I140 denied and her EAD become Void, Is she permitted to stay in USA or She needs to go out of country and enter with h4 status?
Thanks
Ajay
I do know that you guys will be safe on your H1 and H4 status. I do not know for sure if she needs to go out of the country and re-enter on H4..I've heard something like that before though..

Why shud he call the anti immigrant by that filthy word when all or most of what that guy conveyed with his post are nothin but pure facts. There r hundreds of gultis doing all sorts of illegal stuff in the name of immigration without any shame. Theres a saying that goes like..."If u tell someone as it is, he protests and kicks on ur chest" which seems very appropriate here.

Ok, so my PD got current (EB3 India). What next?
Optimystic -- is your PD current?
IF you have a current PD RIGHT NOW...AND submitted your I-485 on or before June-July 2007... AND have an approved I-140
(i) they are sweeping through all the files to find such files because if you filed your application in June-July 2007, 180 days have likely passed since your name check was submitted to the FBI. Name check request are made within weeks of generating a receipt for you.
(ii) they plan to complete this sweep by March 10; UNLESS visas run out, they plan to process such cases in approx 60 days (hah! like I believe them).
(iii) within the set of applications with current PDs, they apparently process in order of RD. Not sure if this is within the EB preference and current PD or across all EB preferences.
(iv) Some cases are approved without any changes in LUD i.e. that amazing email arrives before without any prior LUD changes.
IF you don't have a current PD, I have nothing to say except best of luck to all of us...the situation is pretty grim. The movement of EB-3 ROW will mop up most of the green cards left this year.

Another interesting report is on increasing aging population in US. While India, China & other emerging markets have a lot of younger population (productive age).
America, Europe and Japan's aging population Time Bomb (http://www.d-transition.info/western-demographic-winter-2/america-europe-japans-aging-population-time-bomb-382/)
Module 2: Demographics of An Aging Population (http://www.ageworks.com/course_demo/200/module2/module2.htm)
What it would mean?
Well the younger workforce is ready to contribute towards bottom line of the economy thru SS, Income taxes etc. and offset the liability side of the budget... Another ammunition point!!!
India has a much younger demographic profile today, as well as a higher birth rate, which infers that India will have an advantage over many other countries with regard to demographic burdens from an aging population at least until the latter stages of the 21st century.

Given a choice (with comparable role and growth) I will be more inclined to spend few years (~5) in Europe, post MBA.
Was just trying to make sure if there was a easier way to maintain my GC, at the same time complete my studies in parallel.
Per all your suggestions, there are ways to walk that tightrope, but its not very straight forward...Also I am not looking into deferring my studies for a year..
Will go ahead with resignation...
Thanks again for all sincere advise and wishes.

Good luck! All the best.
