Yes. That is exactly what happens. Everytime a cut-off date advances in a certain category, a sweep is conducted of all previously submitted I-485s, and either continue their processing, or if processed far enough, approve it. If a category retrogresses, processing on the case may or may not stop, but APPROVAL IS IMPOSSIBLE if the PD is before the cut-off date.
--> Plethora of information. Thanks
Yes, it is exactly the same. And that means their processing STOPS before approval. The 50,001st schedule A, submitted in, say, June/July/Aug 2006, will NOT be approved until her EB2 or EB3 PD becomes current.
--> Let say 50,001st appl has been filed in Aug 06. Shouldnt USCIS pass on the info to DOS so that they can retrogress it in OCT? In fact they have been saying that it might very well hit the 50K number some where in OCT and thats why they retrogressed it with Nov bulletin
Well, that is what happens. For example. My PD became current with the release of the Nov 2006 bulletin (I have submitted my I-485 3 years ago, and have had 2 sets of Fingerprints taken). Processing was completed on my case over a year ago, but I could not be approved until Nov 2006, because of my PD.
If, god forbid, I am not approved in November, and EB3 retrogresses back 2 months, I will once again be stalled.
--> I am sorry and Thanks again for making me aware of this. What you said makes sense to all other categories but some how I am under the impression that the Schedule A which is a one time quota will be the same. Now I dont understand why they have to retrogress schedule A to 10/05. How does retrogression even apply to a one time quota? Its not like there is another 50k
visas that will be available in 2 to 3 months ( assuming congress hasnt acted on any )
Of course their petitions wioll freeze, this is ALWAYS what happens with retrogression. Minor processing may take palce, but approval cannot and will not be given.
The 765/131s will be approved, I have had 3 sets since I submitted my I-485. These do not require your date to be current, they only require that your I-485 be submitted.
--> Good, they get their EAD's and AP's. What happens when DOS takes the Schedule A category off of VB?

I certainly respect your view on this post that this information is irrelevant to this forum. At the same time I disagree your view. Different view points from other members absolutely help us to know how others perceive things.
But your "offensive language and replies" to other members views are uncalled-for.
Now in recent posts, you are using "we" and trying to gain support for what you have been writing.

Obama has done something. He made sure that we are in this pell mall because democrats are not getting additional 12 million supporters. Had he been only 50% passionate towards immigration as he was towards Health Care, we as well as millions of others would have been out of this mess. Lets see :). I am expecting a surprise before 2012 elections.

I have sent another email to the editor. Although they have provided an "Amplification" section under this article that says that the item wasn’t intended to imply high-skilled workers are illegal immigrants, the paragraph in which they report the poll result on illegal immigration went under the bold heading "High-Tech Employers". They should either correct this paragraph to exclude any mention of illegal immigration or change the bold heading to a more appropriate general heading on immigration issues.
To their credit, the editor has added a comment for further reading on the legal limbo faced by foreign-born scientists from a page one story written last year.

EB migration was a added almost as an after thought to the family based immigration bill. Current or future considerations were not taken into account when they wrote the bill, the prime focus was (is and will be) the family based immigration as they get the most votes, they have the most 'heartbreaking' stories. I understand your point. I also dont want to argue about how USCIS distributes overflow. I have been dealt a hand i am dealing with it.
I do want to say that nothing will happen unless you make efforts to make it happen. We need to talk to the lawmakers about our problems. Half of them still think we are talking about H1 and launch into a spin about outsourcing. The H1 lobby has major companies backing them, anti immigration groups are flush with cash and are very vocal. Hispanic caucus is a big group. What about us, do we just keep discussing issues or try to educate people on our problems...if we dont we will stay a minority with no voice, simply pawns used and abused by others.
As I see, most of you are missing the point. Instead of trying to understand, you showing the maturity of mind. The whole purpose of EB immigration is to meet the Demand(Job opportunities) vs the supply(immediately available candidates).
When there are a lot of opportunities exists for EB3 level(skilled profession) and less opportunities exists for EB1(Ph.D/Executive Director), USCIS should give more no. of Visas to EB3, then EB1.
A country cannot be built with only the kings, and not even a home can be built with only Ph.Ds(Nobody do the dishes).

I am not so sure if the CIR bill will help us. Allowing 12+ million illegals into the same system that we are in will totally screw up our chances of getting green cards. Does the bill mention anything about increasing budget and manpower for the USCIS department to handle 12+ million potential applications? Considering that large numbers of the illegals are from a country which also has a specific country quota in the GC lines, will the bill increase drastically the number of Visa Numbers available??
This bill favors the illegals so much that even reading it makes me wonder how fair the system is to those of us who follow laws and file documents on time. What's the point? All of us should just forget about the rules and go do whatever job we want to do.
Friends...please...the CIR is still better than the present situation we are in. It increases the H1B numbers, it increases the amount of GCs availbale per year, it excludes dependents from the quota, it excludes STEM advanced degrees (currently employed as well as future students) from the quota, it does require the illegals to wait at least 6 years before they can file papers for their GCs and then thay get to be at the back of the line, additionally, if the SKIL bill provisions are also included as amendments, it will also provide a premium processing facility for I485. The SKIL bill also mandates the DOL to clear all backlog within 6 months. The thinking is that by the time the undocumented aliens (somehow, I do not like the word illegal) enter the pipeline, the current backlog will be cleared and all dates will be current.
Given, the uncertainity in the process right now, I still feel that CIR is the way to go. Also, if it were not for the issue of the undocumented aliens, there would have been no incentive or push to do anything about the system and we would be stuck with this system. As far as the USCIS efficiency is concerned, I would not underestimate them either, the USCIS is known to be very efficient when it needs to (prime example the spectacularly efficient and successful H1 B premium processing system) so keep the faith and help yourselves achieve your dreams :)

However, for India, China etc. where PD cutoff has to be factored, it is used merely to decide to work or skip a file (when seen in the receive date order). If PD cutoff date is very restricted, they will have to skip a lot of cases, which slows them down.
I don't think this is true. As a CSR, case is assigned to you, not you choose the case. I think it's the same way to IOs. PD current cases will be assigned to IO, not IO looks into paper mountains to find case to adjust.
That's the reason every July they ask for wider PD cutoff dates so that they can consume a lot of visas, as they don't have to skip that many cases.
And about this, it's not abut skip or not either. Visa Office decides the date, CIS does the work. When CIS doesn't output enough work, VO thinks CIS doesn't have enough cases so they move dates forward. Direct result is therefore CP is able to process any cases that is current in hand. When this happens, more approval numbers will show, but that has nothing to do with CIS. CIS basically still process about the same amount of cases as usual.

great work everyone. thank you nycgal and others that took initiative and pushed this effort further. committed members like all of you in this thread help us a lot by sending emails to reporters. several letters highlighting a particular issue generates interest in reporters and media orgs and they choose to write about us. It is not easy to get even a single article published in newspapers and it is due to the efforts of our members, we are able to generate awareness. There is still a long road ahead of us and I am sure with active participation from everyone, we will surely succeed.

another note: people who disagree with this idea, and feel that it is childish, please: what is your grand idea, and what are you planning to do? have you sent emails to reporters? talked to anyone about what is wrong with the USCIS?.
if the answer is NO: Then just let people who are doing something, do it.

I am still surprised that CNN did not pick this though MSNBC (did a positive) and FOX (Did a negative) on this

Hi,
The notice doesn't say that I-485 was denied. for I-140, it says notice of Automatic revocation. For I-485 it says Acknowledgement of withdrawl. It looks to me that my previous desi employer actually withdrawn the I-485 application and thats the reason it says the I-140 is automatically revoked.. But how can they withdraw my I-485 application ?
Thanks in advance for your reply.

Anything for EB relief ? I dont see a content in the bill language.
Nurses are part of EB. This nill has many benefits. More nurses will be out of greencard queue leaving others more chance. US has acute nurses shortage. It is well documented. There is not much shortage of IT professionals . Unemployment is so high. But nurses are in demand and it is important for the healthcare of the nation. Supporting the bill is a win win for everyone in EB wait.

here is the contradictory nonsense that they did:
1. ALL non immigrant visas including H1 and l1 are presumed now to have immigrant intent- what this means is- the counsellor at the embassy can now turn your visa down for immigrant intent- was not true earlier. So be ready to prove home ties.
2. However- get this- they retained the clause that you can apply for a GC and that this application will not affect visa issuance - and they added F4 the new student visa to this clause
so! prove home ties- but it's ok if you have applied to be a perm resident
does this make ANY ANY sense???????
