I have applied for labor certification in Dec 2006. In may 2007 I got a denail stating that the company is not "bonafide". It is a new company and I am the 1st applicant for labor. We sent all the supporting documents and requested for review/appleal in May 2007. Since then we did not get any status from them. My attorney called them last week and made an inquiry. DOL Atlanta said that they need to do the "central check" of teh company. They do this for every new company. Does anybody aware of this "central check". How long it will take?

Everybody, please calm down. I don't know what the intention of this thread was, but if it is to increase the participation to achieve IV's goals, then I am sure you all realize it is having the exact opposite affect. The only thing happening on this thread is donors and non-donors going at each other in a way of unbecoming of us professionals.
I am sure we can agree to disagree with respect. Think about some of the messages written and you wonder would it be really said if they were facing the person.
I personally don't think bitzbyte is or was berating IV's efforts. All he/she needs is more convincing. And I don't think he/she is alone. If that was the case then we would be having 49000 members donating and the advocacy effort would be a grand success and we would be having millions for lobbying. The fact is that there are more like bitzbyte than the donors. I am not sure where the problem is but there sure is. Heck, I am donor and I don't find myself talking about IV or hearing about IV from colleagues or friends. Everybody has their priorities set and the daily grind to go through. Getting a GC may not be everyone's ultimate goal. There was a time I used to be so obsessed with GC that my whole life seemed to be revolving around bulletins and the disappointment of backlogs. One day I said enough is enough and stopped worrying about it.
But I realized that the question is not about whether and when I get GC, but is it fair, to you and your family, to go through years of this agony. It is not fair and we have to do something about it.
As much as everybody needs IV to address their needs, IV needs them to achieve our collective goals. Lets think about ways to increase participation rather than marginalizing those that don't yet believe.
1. You have stopped worrying because you got your EAD at least.
2. USCIS is not asking to prove relationship with your great grandparents every time you go for H1B extension
3. You don’t need to worry about the VO at POE or consulate and not postponing your India trip for 3-4 years now.
4. Even though you are on project and pay roll is running, paying the tax...don’t lose your sleep over what memo comes next before the next H1B extension.
Our people are not worrying until it strikes them. Till then they will ask all sorts of questions and have attitude of why should I donate. You can see now and then a thread on IV - Help urgent, I-485 denied, H4- denied.
Why its urgent now for them...?

Wendall, thanks!
No I did not see any LUDs. I checked the case status about 4 times during the day yesterday and did not see any LUDs and suddenly around 3.30pm got the welcome email. What is your RD? Looks like they are going by Rds. Hope you hear the good news soon !!!
Congratulations Lasantha!!!
My PD is Feb 2005 at TSC, since my PD became current on the 1st April, I have not seen any LUDs on my USCIS account.
Accordingly, I was wondering what was your experience?
Specifically did you get any LUDs before you received the "Welcome New Resident" e-mail?
Thanks!

called couple of congressman but one were asking if i contacted my local congressman ???
They do that sometimes. No matter. They will pass on your message. I had the same experience with Rep. Hinojosa's office. Key is though to call all of the congressmen and let your concerns known. All the others were very polite in talking.

I think spillover method has not been changed since years. The only puzzle is that whether it is horizontal or vertical or combination of both that USCIS works with we exactly do not know.
Do you guys agree ?
In my opinion equal share of spillover count to oversubscribed EB categories for a particular year would be the final and legitimate solution.

Hope you had a nice vacation. :p
Couldn't resist. Please follow the FOIA thread that is in red.
10,000 was collected and 2500$ advance was sent out to USCIS. Now we wait to hear back from them.
Do you honestly think something will come? I doubt. They asked for $10K as a routine without investigating into what is possible. While quoting the cost, they even asked "What is a Priority Date".
PD's are not anywhere in the system. They are nowhere other than filled in ink on I-140, or I-485 applications or receipts. Even there, sometimes they are blank or wrong. They check manually on these dates while approving applications. That's the whole reason that all cutoff date movement is based on pure guess work, and approvals are never in order of PDs.
Do you think they will check each application manually, and count them based on PD's?

Currently I am on H1B visa. My labor petition and I-140 were approved sometime last year. I have been on H1B for many years now and my current H1-B is valid till 2010. My wife is on a H1-B visa too. Her labor petition and I-140 were approved too last year.
I have been admitted to some of the top ranking business schools full-time MBA program and intend to join one of those. I understand that transfer to F-1 status might be challenging. Hence I was planning to transfer to H4 status. School starts in Sept and I plan to be working till end of August. My question is : When do I need to file the I-539 change of status from H1 to H4 ? There is no date on the form I-539 that I can request my status change to be effective from. Also there is no guideline as to when my H4 status application may be approved. If I file now and it gets approved quickly, I cannot work for my employer and would have to sit at home. However, if I wait till end of August, then resign, how fast do I need to file for the H4 change of status ? Would the school have any issues if the approval is pending and I wanted to start classes. (Note I do have H1 valid till 2010, but once I quit my job I may no longer be in H1 status). Most schools did not have any accurate answer and hence I am throwing it at you gurus.

2.*Copy of Birth Certificate of Employee and ALL Dependent Family Members
(Please provide translations if not in English)
** If NO birth certificate is available then a �Non-Availability Certificate� MUST BE SUBMITTED with Affidavits of Birth, Executed by two immediate family members who were 5 years of age or older at the time the birth took place�
(Please see attached sample)
*** If a birth certificate was recently issued, then it MUST BE SUBMITTED along with Affidavits of Birth, Executed by two immediate family members who were 5 years of age or older at the time the birth took place�(Please see attached sample)
*** Please also include U.S. Citizen Children�s Birth Certificate(s)
10.Copies of ALL I-94 cards, I-797 Approvals (H-1B & H-4s), I-20s, and EAD cards.
radhagd, thank you for the information.
Couple of questions to all gurus:
Is there any time limit to say birth certificate is recent? I got my birth certificate in Jan'07, trying to see if i need to sumit the affidavits?
Also do we need to have copies of all I-94 cards since the first time we entered US? Looks like i don't have the I-94 copy which was issued when i entered in 1999 for the first time. In that case what would be the solution?
Thanks in advance for the feedback.

I filed for my wife's EAD in the late May (e-file TSC).
Receipt date is May 29th.
Soft LUD on June 6th
FP done on June 21st
no updates, no changes after that. there is no LUD after FP. It's been 66 days since filed. Does any one know if I can take Infopass appointement before I complete 90 days of pending status and see what's going on? Or do I have to wait until 90 days are complete? any experiences?
EFiled on 29th May and still waiting. Opened a SR yesterday and lets see what happens.
The good thing is now we are seeing some approvals, so i think everything is back moving again.
GO IV GO.
How to open the SR akhilmahajan? Is it same as the Infopass appointment?
Also, there is no LUD after FP in my case. Does that mean that TSC has not received FP results yet? The post by kartikiran on the same page shows that FP was done on 5/13 but the LUD was on 7/20 when TSC received FP. I suspect the same has happened in my case. Should I check with the FP office?
please give your thoughts..
