There is a huge amount of $$ you have paid for Social Security and Medicare. You don't need to get back that:confused:??. This is just a part of the benefit...
For having SSN benefits, 10 years of service is (=40 credits) required on US soil. To take those benefits you do not have to be a US citizen. Except for some countries, SSN dept can send the SS check to anywhere if mailing address is provided to it. And Green Card by definition is for "Permanent Residency" meaning as long as you renew your GC, you can be in US during your whole life time without becoming US Citizen.

As a matter of fact, I didn't notice it when I came here two days ago. I was thinking it was something for running the website in a long term. Only when I saw many people were talking in this thread did I know that there are some urgent and serious things going on.

Actually when a person whose PD is current but his FP is not cleared and another person whose Who is having later PD but his FP is cleared then he will get GC(if his PD is within cut off date)
Mainly EB2 candidates will suffer a lot if their application is struck in BEC. People who are having PD of 2005 and 2006 will get GC but those who filed in 2003 are earlier wait a few more years to get GC. This is happening for past 10 years. RIR and Non RIR processing was there beween 1997 to 2002. When any new processing is introduced those who started older process always suffer. I do not know any best solution for those cases. Also it is not possible to reform everything at the same time.
Houston:
let me try to answer your question the best I can. Answers in order:
For all purposes: lets assume 2 examples. Person A PD July 2006 and RD of July2, 2007 and Person B PD April 2006 and RD of July 2, 2007.
1. AOS is processed by a "combination" of RD and PD. As per the current Bulletin BOTH A and B can apply. The Service centres are currently processing September 2006 applications. When they reach July 2, 2007 processing dates, both applications will be picked up and then "thoeretically" they should ask for Visa number for A BEFORE asking a visa number for B as A has an earlier PD.
2. Answered in same question 1 above.
3. If Harry's case gets approved in August 2007 by BEC he WILL NOT be able to apply for I-485 as the July Bulleting is valid only for applicants VALID in july. Just beacuse they are accepting till AUg 17, does not mean people whose LC got approved between Aug 1-17 can apply, becuase they were technically NOT eligible to apply in July.
Does that answer your questions. PM me if you want more detail.

Finally, it is my turn to get the approval email. At 2.30 pm MST, I received the approval email, but still no emails for my two dependants. The waiting-game is not yet over:-)
EB2/TSC
PD: 05/2004
RD: 08/05/2007
ND: 10/03/2007
I wish good luck to everyone who have been waiting for your turns!
I had an Infopass appointment this morning with a very helpful and informative IO, and he confirmed that my dependants' cases were also approved on 09/01. Looks like TSC email system doesn't work properly as there were no emails for my dependants. I belive that some of you folks may have already been approved with no status change and CPO emails. Good luck again for all you who are current and have been waiting for approvals.
Regards.

Senate Minimum Wage Bill Avoided Immigration Increases
It has come to our attention that some believe that the dreadful McCain-Kennedy amnesty scheme was dropped into the bill during its passage through the Senate, but NumbersUSA�s analysis of that chamber�s proceedings indicates that those damaging provisions were not, in fact, amended into the measure before it was sent back to the House on February 1.
Sen. Ted Kennedy (D-MA) did propose an amendment to that effect, but it was neither substantively discussed nor adopted before passage of the underlying bill. In addition, Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) introduced and subsequently withdrew an amendment that would have provided amnesty to illegal alien farmworkers.
On the positive side, Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-AL) offered an amendment to H.R. 2, the Fair Minimum Wage Act of 2007, which would have dramatically increased civil fines on employers who hire illegal aliens. Sen. Sessions called it a �comprehensive wage reform� measure, playing off the �comprehensive immigration reform� term used by open borders advocates. He said his amendment was an appropriate addition to that particular measure � legislation designed to increase the wages of working Americans � because the salaries of low-skilled workers have lagged behind due to the large influx of illegal aliens.
Although Democratic leaders refused to let Sen. Sessions' initial amendment reach the Senate floor, a second Sessions proposal was adopted that day by a 94-0 vote. It would prohibit any government contractor caught using illegal labor from future government contracts for ten years. It is expected to face serious opposition by business and union lobbyists when the bill reaches conference committee.
Sen. Saxby Chambliss (R-GA) also introduced and withdrew a positive amendment that would have required that the employers of temporary unskilled foreign agricultural workers (H-2As) pay the greater of either the Federal minimum wage or a newly defined prevailing wage.

My appln with March 2001 cleared BEC in June, so are tons of such applications in my company that cleared BEC with EB2 pD (atleast 600-800 - our company ). Many were stuck from 2001, as my company did not apply for GC bet 2001 Aug - 2004 Oct.
can you please tell me the source of these stats? Per the DOL stats, from March 2005 to March 2007 only 130K total cases were approved:

(5) Procedure for Ordering a Visa Number from the DOS.
Visa numbers are requested by USCIS offices directly from the Visa Control Office of the DOS. The request is only to be made after:
� The applicant has been interviewed and found to be eligible for AOS(or, for cases adjudicated at a service center, simply found to be eligible for AOS); and
� The requestor has verified that the current VB indicates that a visa number is available for the country and classification involved, and that the current bulletin has not been superseded by an advisory from the Visa Control Office.
The DOS has guaranteed to USCIS that so long as the current visa bulletin and any superseding advisories indicate that a number is available, a number will be assigned.

I called them this morning (I had other commitments earlier).
It was good to hear that they are now very aware of these bills.
Nearly all used the ploy "Where are you from?", to screen out those who are not from their district, but politely noted the call in their logs.
It was also good to be able to say that I had already spoken with my Congressman on the subject (because that's where they expect you to go first).
I've spoken with a lot of law maker's aids, and this ("where are you from?") is a ploy that is typically used when they have a high volume of calls. I would take that as a good sign.
congrats on receiving your GC Mark and many thanks for calling!!

I am also from the Chinese community and just have signed for a $20 monthly contribution.
I do urge people who have not made any contributions to act now!
If we don't contribute at this time, IV may have great difficulty in operating and may even be closed one day. At that time, no one organization would stand up to speak for us!
I have a PD of August 2005. Luckily, I have filed my 140/485 in Sept. 2005. I do believe that, in this forum, I am among the luckiest ones who have more freedom to change jobs and travel outside US. If you are in a situation worse than mine, for example, if you have not get your LC/PERM approved or if you have not file your 485 because of retrogression, don't you think you should be more motivated than me to contribute?
I would change my contribution to $50 monthly if we have 1000+ members to sign up for the monthly contribution. Meanwhile, I would cancel my contribution if this goal cannot be achieved by all our 8400 members within the next two months. I cannot see any point if most people who suffer from the possibility of waiting for years would not contribute while I, who might be one of the least painful ones, contribute.

Quick question; so when was your EB3 140 approved? or does it really have to be approved inorder to port to the EB2?
Can a person who only has labor approved under EB3 later port to that date if he were to get the labor approved under EB2?
My EB-3 I-140 was approved in March 2007. Yes, you need to have an approved I-140 to port your PD. Just an approved labor with earlier PD won't help.

I am not sure how far it is true, but this is the content of the email I got from my attorney when I pressed him to file at the earlierst.
"As soon as we have these forms back, all of the evidence for filing remaining from you, and I review the completed filing, we will file it. We appreciate your interest in filing on the first day the filing allows. We will endeavor to do that. I should point out that the current bulletin allows for filings throughout July. It is possible that the filings could be discontinued later in July. We are in touch with officials in Washington about this issue and will file your application in a timely fashion for obtaining the benefit when the filing is properly prepared."
Please don't put any sensational heading on your post if you don't know what you are saying.
This has been discussed a lot here and is nothing new. There is always a possibility that USCIS can issue a mid-month VB and discontinue taking 485. It has not happened before, but is certainly possible.
If you thought, the dates will be current from here on to perpetuity...I have no words for you..
