i guess it doesn't count ppl who are waiting. The no of ppl who are not able to file 485 is huge.
From the data, it seems you are right. But it is pretty confusing. If your logic is correct then once the July 2007 backlog is cleared, will they say 0 demand and then make all dates current again ??
The "demand" ideally should mean people whose 140 has been cleared and waiting to file 485 + those whose 485 has been filed and not yet processed.

I recently booked tickets for my parents through Travel center NY. Their prices were good and they accept visa, mastercard and amex. Since it was a E-Ticket the ticket is issued only after successful transaction. Let me know if you need more details.
Hi Friends,
I was trying to get online tickets for my parents to come from Chennai to SFO.
..I was planning to pay from here using my credit card...but guess that might not work( see text in italics below from the airline website) , My parent have an icici debit card but that one has a limit from icici for 50,000 Rs or 75,000 Rs or so, the tickets are totally 1 lakh + so trying to figure out what might be the options....
Have the physical credit card originally used for the purchase presented by the cardholder for verification at check-in, OR on collecting the tickets, OR at the nearest Cathay Pacific Ticketing Office prior to the flight departure. The cardholder does not need to book and travel. If a transaction is successfully made with "Verified by Visa", or "MasterCard� SecureCode�", the cardholder will not be required to present the physical card used for verification.
I understand that if the cardholder fails to present the physical card originally used for booking transaction, the carrier reserves the right to -
Deny boarding, or
Collect a guarantee payment (in cash or from a new credit card).
Anyone been able to book from here for tickets starting from India ?
Thanks in Advance !!

Some people are only too powerful and influential that others
Asylum is lot more easier. In fact citizens of Cuba just have to show up in US and they get GC. GC is infact easier for people from China as there is always an option to file for Asylum given the communist govt.
In this case, though Obama said that course of law will follw. But ofcourse USCIS wont
pursue the case agressively and give up ("throw the match") and not go for appeals etc.

I called the general customer service number - National Customer Service Center (NCSC) at 1-800-375-5283.
As I mentioned earlier, I did not go through with the options of sending the info. to the US consulate. But I will give it a try tomorrow. I don't know what you can do with that option (PIMS etc), but it is worthwhile to explore.
At what number did you call? Was it Kentucky Consular Center? Do you mean that we can have our information sent to PIMS system or consulate in India? In other words, does that say anything particularly about PIMS?

The processing times for I-140 applications in the TSC show no change since the last update. Are there any changes in the NSC processing times ?
I haven't been following the I-485 times for a while since my priority date (EB3/ Mar 2004) is not current and I'm more keen on the I-140 approval for now.

If you have MS Office Document Image Writer installed in your system then after editing ur PDF, you can print it to MDI and it will save it as an .mdi format. You can take a print out of it later at your convenience. Only issue is, it saves it as an image and you cannot edit an .mdi doc :o

In Get In The Line? What Line? The Tragic Tale of Employment Based Immigrant Visa Delays (http://ailaleadership.blogspot.com/2009/10/get-in-line-what-line-tragic-tale-of.html), I stated that:
This delay in legal, employment based immigration is a crisis for America. If you are an intending immigrant, and your immigration option is employment based, do you have the patience the wait 15 years for your green card? Can you do better in Australia, Canada, or even back home in our home country? What is the cost to our future competitiveness of a broken legal immigration system? What is the cost to U.S. innovation? The Department of State just released its annual numbers for cases received by the National Visa Center, awaiting issuance of an immigrant visa at a consulate. The report says this:
The following figures have been compiled from the NVC report submitted to the Department on November 3, 2009, and show the number of immigrant visa applicants on the waiting list in the various preferences and subcategories subject to numerical limit. All figures reflect persons registered under each respective numerical limitation, i.e., the totals represent not only principal applicants or petition beneficiaries, but their spouses and children entitled to derivative status under INA 203(d) as well. Okay, the bottom line numbers? Bad, very bad. The total Family Numbers waiting for a priority date: 3,369,455, including 1,727,897 in the Brother and Sister (FB-4) category. At the 65,000 annual number level for that category, that is a 26.5 year wait (ignoring per country limits). The total Employment Numbers awaiting a priority date: 130,509, including 119,759 in the EB-3 category. This is at least a 3-4 year wait (again, ignoring per country limits). So, 3.5 million people waiting in line, or is it? The reality is worse. These do NOT include the those cases pending at USCIS!
If we ad in the numbers pending at USCIS (as best we know them), the situation is far more grave. Family based petitions pending at USCIS in June 2009 (no new numbers are easily available), were 1.1 million, bring the total backlog to 4,400,000 for family cases. Employment based cases pending at USCIS in June 2009 numbered 80,000. This bring the total up to 210,000 for EB-3 cases. Wow!
It gets worse though when you realize this simple fact. The numbers from the National Visa Center do not include cases for folks NOT consular processing. Frankly, and just just like in October when I first wrote about this, we do not really know exactly how many cases are pending immigrant visa availability. What we do know is that the legal immigration system is broken.
When we hear politicians and uninformed folks yelling about illegal immigration and telling folks to wait in line like everyone else, the answer is, What Line?
These numbers once again poignantly express the dilemma that legal immigrants have. Many feel, justifiably, that any immigration reform must FIRST focus on legal immigration reform, cutting down wait times to reasonable periods, BEFORE anyone who entered into or remained in the U.S. without permission is given ANY legal benefits. The answers are simple here, the question is, are there any politicians with enough courage to vote for real legal immigration reform?https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/186823568153827945-373880418577926333?l=ailaleadership.blogspot.com

I know this has been discussed zillion times on these forums. Parents health insurance is one big concern for many of our immigrant folks in here. Things have been changing and so does the insurance companies plans.
How are people on this forum opting for the health insurance companies?
A few suggested on this forum to get Insurance in USA for parents than in India. That would be good but how about the travelling insurance in that case. Does the USA company Insurance cover the parent travel too?
My father has pre existing health issues like Renal Failure. Now he is okay. So to say from insurance point of view he has pre existing health problems. So in that case will he be covered for any untowards health issues in USA under the plans? Even if it is little expensive we want to go for a comprehensive insurance plan that covers all the scenarios. Does any one have suggestions on the best way to go about this?
is it that we have to take the insurance before starting from India or we could take even after arriving in USA? Are there any separate health insurance plans for just travelling?
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Both lawyers are right. To get the correct answers you have to be asking correct questions.
If you want to port your priority date to new employer, you have to file PERM and I-140 with new employer. Since you have PERM and I-140 already approved - you can do that.
From the other side, since you already filed your I-485, you don't have to do anything. You don't need your PD ported, just use AC21 and wait for your GC.
The only issue is that you never worked for sponsoring employer, USCIS might want some evidence that you really had/have intent working for him and will demand explanation why you are not working for them and never worked. This issue will disappear if you will refile PERM/I-140 with new employer.

not to trivialize the issue at discussion.......... I am sure this is important to you.
However, what does this have anything to do with Non Immigrant visas?
reason is i want expert opinion from members of this esteem forum (most of them belong to IT industry and some of them would have similar experience like me)
Also i didnt know which forum to raise this question and i thought this particular forum was more related than GC forums.

Thanks Meridiani.
Is TSC doing Pre-adjudication Now a days ? Any Clue Gurus.. Otherwise, we have only 50% Chances.
Let's keep fingers crossed..
Thanks,
preadjudication is where USCIS processes your case even when visa numbers are not going to be available: meaning ur PD is not current, they know even if all is well they wont be able to approve, but still they go over everything, issue an RFE is something is not ok etc. If all is well, the case goes into a pre-adjudicated stack, and once visa numbers are available, they simply pick up a file from that stack, assign it a visa and mark it approved. This is how lots of people got approvals last year in july VB.
pre-adjudication has three advantages compared to starting to process only when teh PD is current:
- If they wait for PD to be current to pick up a file and start looking at it, there is no way they can process so many cases when the PD does go current, or when dates move significantly towards the end of the year. This is how they processed nearly 60k cases in 2 months last year.
- if PD is current for a short period (1month or 2) and thats when they pick up your case, if you get a NOID you could end up missing the window by the time you respond and they pick up your response.
- its helpful for them because they can weed out cases that are not going to be approved, earlier and they dont end up giving interim benefits to those people.
ur status does not change when your case is pre-adjudicated.

I am not being pessimistic; this is just my opinion about CIR: I don't have high hopes for CIR when it comes to EB immigration.
Every article that I read about CIR mentions issues related to undocumented workers/residents/aliens and border security. These are high priority issues within immigration reform domain. Legal immigration (family & employment) are secondary and in this segment Family based immigration gets precedence due to large number of immigrants from Latin America has larger vote.
I think issue of H1B visa will be at a higher priority as larger population of US is aware of this category so it has more political value and of course thanks to Sen. Grassley.
That puts Legal Skilled workers' issues related to immigration (GC) at the bottom of the pile. Not that other issues are non-important but since this issue has least priority we at IV need to emphasize more and explain the dire need for relief for those who are waiting for long time.
Bottom Line: Immigration is multi-issue agenda, IV needs to assign separate teams for these issues so even if CIR doesn't go through we at least will have success at fixing some of the issues.

Employer is required, by law, to notify USCIS when H1 employee is terminated (8 CFR Section 214.2 h.11). In that case, the H1 petition is canceled. Employer needs to make fresh H1 petition to rehire employee. However, in most cases, H1 will be cap exempt.
