Hello,
What is the current processing time for Labor? I heard it is taking very long like 8 to 10 months? Is this true or is this based on processing center? If so which processing center takes how long?
thanks.

This is a supporting thread to the "Want to File I-485 without Current Priority Date? Gather here" thread started by pappu.
As suggested by pappu/starsun, this supporting thread provides impacted members with additional information and tools to help the initiative.
Visit Immigration Voice Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Employment_Based_Green_Card#Process_.28EB1.2C_EB2. 2C_and_EB3.29) - for overview of Employment Based - Green Card process
Visit I485 Filing w/o current PD Wiki (http://immigrationvoice.org/wiki/index.php/Current_Grass-Roots_Initiative_-_I-485_Filing_without_Current_Priority_Date) - for overview of this initiative
As pappu stated in the first post of the above referenced thread - some of the ongoing efforts include finding how many IV members would get benefit from such a provision and get basic details such as username/Priority Date of impacted members. Future action items might include drafting documents and letters to support this provision. There maybe actions such as sending emails etc. However we would not be able to open a public action item unless we can have thousands of our members willing to participate in a grassroots action item. This survey intends to understand the needs of our membership for this provision and collect grassroots information.
The fact is we have a dedicated group of volunteers (and we need more) who have been trying their best to spread the message about this initiative so that a strong grass-roots support can be created leading up to launch of the public action items. So far we have around 1100 people who have responded. Based on quick calculations carried out using PERM data, it is estimated that there are at least 60K-70K EB applicants waiting to file I-485/EAD/AP (this is a very conservative estimate..the actual number could be much more). Grass-roots initiatives require time and patience and we request maximum number of impacted folks to participate actively.

One of IVs priorities has been to have a uniform skills based system like other developed countries Eg. Canada.
members are welcome to join in that initiative as weel and suggest ideas.
I'm actually preparing a doc for a way to fairly convert people from EB to a points based skills system. This would also eliminate country based quotas as a side effect.
The CIR in 2007 had a similar proposal, but they did not compensate those already in EB queues.
There is a post from logiclife arguing against the points system back in 2007 (I will find that and post it here). Since when did IV change the strategy to go with the "points system"? The simple argument against the points system is that Government (and NOT the employer) decides who is qualifed in a points based system as against the current system which only allows qualified people with a job and being inside the U.S, to apply and get GC (as against the points system which can be from anywhere in the world).
The current system can be and should be fixed instead of moving to the points based system. For instance, remove the per country quota, allow a non-immigrant visa to be converted into an immigrant visa by an employee without going thru the labor and I-140 after a certain amount of time (3-5 years) which takes away the hold of the employer on your GC process, increase the EB numbers etc.

Hello,
My cousin H1-B has been selected in the lottery, so her H1-B is in process for this year, but her husband's H1-B was approved last year, so he is planning to get H1-B stamped and come here. If she waits for her H1-B to get approved and come then it will be sometime the end of this year. Is it possible that she can come here on H-4 visa while her H1-B is still in process? Need urgent help on this. She has never been to US.
She can come here on H4 while the H1 is in process, but when her H1 is approved, she must go back to her home country and get her stamping done to get the new I-94 at the port of entry.

I talked to NSC (using POJ method) and got hold of IO (I am pretty sure it was not the call center representative). He told me that my file is pre-adjudicated and it is on the way to Agent's office for final review. I think that many files are stored at off-site location and are brought back as needed / pd becomes current etc.
He said that all he can do is to wish good luck. I asked him if I will get GC this month or no? He replied that it all depends on how many visa number will be given to them by state department.
It's only day 2 but I feel that they are approving what ever file they have on their hands on. Feels like I will miss this boat too.

I received passports for me and wife last Friday. My application reached them on Mar 28th thus it took about a month. My original passports were issued from India.
BTW they respond to email very quick instead of phone calls. I emailed and they sent me the status of my app.
Just when I msged....I received my passport!! Thank God! YAY!

I oppose this idea. Let us all focus on Greencards. People who got GC should be helping us who do not have GCs.
GCperm used to write so much about Greencard campaigns but as soon as he got his GC he is on this thread talking about citizenship. This shows selfish mentality of some people. All greencard holders should work on helping people get GC behind them. People should not be allowed to abandon us and work on something else. We are not even getting Greencards and you guys want to work on Citizenship.
First help us all get Greencards.
eastindia, you are correct. GCPerm sometime back was on a "flower campaign" mode and was asking all IV members to send flowers so that USCIS will approve his/her green card ASAP. now that, it has been approved, the user has switched to a citizenship campaign mode.
GCPerm, a piece of advice. When a person volunteers for a cause to help others, the person should never think of how the result benefits them. If you look at IV members who are advocating for clearing this green card backlogs, by volunteering for the cause, they are not looking at how it benefits them, but how they can pave a way for future applicants.
When it comes to citizenship it is more difficult as I have personally seen people who are willing to continue with green cards for more than 20 years than taking up US Citizenship because they are more emotionally connected to their birth countries.
Anyway, note if you are sure of the fact that you want this campaign to continue even after six years of you starting it(by then you can become a US Citizen), then you should be promoting this.
Example, Aman Kapoor who started IV, got his green card and still fighting to clear the green card backlog mess.
Hope you understand the point. Nobody wants a leader who won't be able to continue once their ulterior motives are attained.

We need about 000 members signing up for the monthly contributions in a month. I am sure we can do that. We have 8000 members and it should be easy. Till now we have only 100 signups
Simple arithmetic shows that 1000 * 20 = 500 * 40 = 400 * 50 = 200 * 100 = 100 * 200.
Pleeeeeeeeease think very carefully about the need of the moment.

The only and simple way to stop H1B abuse is to allow only max 10% non-immigrant (H1, L1, TN etc) employee in a company. Rest 90% have to be Green Card or Citizen. These desi consulting, Indian big companies must be hving at leaset 90 % employees on non-immigrant status.

Sussie,
Your letter nor the proposed drft amendment to CSPA does not talk about the children of parents who applied their GC under employment based category and got stuck in the Labor Card approval stage for years and when labor got approved and I140 also got approved then again stuck due to Visa retrogression. We must include injustice being done to these children and should ask for retrospective amendment to CSPA to provide relief.
I thought you were the champion of this cause from IV. You are part of the IL State Chapter team and you should lead this issue from IV perspective. :)
