    This is the email I just received from CapitalOne:

    "Sorry for the delay in responding. I've been out of the office unexpectedly and am now just getting a chance to catch up on past messages. Unfortunately we can't pursue candidates with EAD cards either."

    There was a thread related to similar issues which I could not find. Apologies for opening a new one.

    Doesn't the above constitute discrimination and illegal ? What recourse do we have when we are disqualified because of EAD ?

    If you were current for June and if the USCIS received your application in June, then you are 100% fine. USCIS stamps the "received date" on the package. So when they open it for processing (1,2,3 weeks later), they will see that your PD was current when they received it.

    Of course, if your PD is not current when they open it, then of course, your 485 won't be approved. But you will get your EAD and AP.

    Thanks,
    Jayant

    P.S.: Note that there is some disagreement about whether the USCIS looks at the date they received the package or the date your package is post-marked.

    Hello Logiclife,

    The information you provided is very useful. Will go look for David Heenan's book.

    Here is the book that I am trying to read - 'Flight of the Creative Class' by Dr. Richard Florida. Here is the extract from this book -

    Chapter 4 – The Closing of America? - Page 112
    The rejection rate of H-1B visas (also called “high-skilled visas”), which allow professionals who are not U.S. citizens to work in the country for up to six years, increased from 9.5 to 17.8 percent between 2001 and 2003.

    Chapter 4 – The Closing of America? - Page 117
    By 2003, antiterrorism measures began to catch up not just with visa applications but also with requests for more permanent U.S. residence. Thanks to delays in the processing of green-card applications, only 705,827 people became legal permanent residents that year, down from 1.06 million in 2002. This decline is the steepest since 1953, when Joseph McCarthy stoked fears that Communists were invading the government and general population. Nearly half of those affected by the government slowdown in 2003 were foreign students, workers, and others already residing in the U.S. and hoping to become permanent residents. Such figures may understate the extent of the problem-which were backlogged to more than 6 million by the end of the fiscal year 2003. Of these over 6 million people whose legal lives as residents were put on hold, roughly 3.6 million have had applications pending for more than six months.

    The practical, everyday implications of such a wait can be exasperating. Without a green card, many immigrants are prohibited from traveling, denied the benefit of in-state tuition rates, or even put at risk for job loss and deportation if the wait goes on too long. These risks accrue not only to individuals and families but to the businesses that hire them and need their skills.


    There is lot more to share but I am not able to put all this on the discussion forum thread. Will add more to this later.


    Here is the link to Dr. Florida's site : http://www.creativeclass.org/.

    Hi,
    I am happy to share the news that I received CPO hard copy on exactly Diwali Day. Lord Ramachandra Ki Jai.

    Here are the details of my case and what did I do to get this CPO mail. It may help others to follow up with USCIS.

    1. Applied EB-3 India in July 16th 2004 .
    2. Waited for about until 2006 July, but no signs of EB-3 labor approval.
    3. Applied EB-2 labor under PERM Sep 2006 and got approval in 7 days. this was amazing………..
    4. Applied I-140 for EB-2 labor in Oct 2006 and received approval after 6 months, still my EB-3 labor not approved.
    4. Applied I-485 on July 2nd 2007 along with my wife with EB-2 PD Sep 20th 2006.
    5. Received the receipt notice with the notice date of Aug 30th 2007 and receipt date of July 2nd 2007.
    6. Received the Finger print notice on Oct 15th 2007 and gave finger prints on Nov 10th 2007.
    6. Received the EB-3 labor approval in Dec 2007 and applied for i-140 for eb-3 and received i-140 approval in June 2008.
    7. Now I have 2 i-140 approvals one EB-3 with pd of July 16th 2004 and other eb-2 i-140 with Sep 20th 2006.
    8. Changed to better attorney who can better handle the i-485 in terms of the PD transfer and follow up with USCIS.
    9. Attorney sent Priority Date porting request to Texas service center in June 2008 along with new g-28 forms.
    10. Called at least 4 times in 2008, but got the response that my processing dates are not current yet means. Not reached the July 2nd 2007 or Aug 28th 2007 which is my i-485 notice date.
    11.In June 2009 Called USCIS POJ method and got some nice officer in Texas service center who opened the SR to open my case as my case is out of processing time.
    12. Got soft LUDs in June 20th 2009 and called usics cust service and came to know case is assigned to an officer.
    13. In July 20th 2009, got email update saying the case is transferred to NBC for further processing.
    14. Next day again got email, case is transferred to NBC and I will receive the interview notice.
    15. Got interview notice to go to local office on Aug 5th 2009.
    16. Online status changed to case transferred to USCIS office........
    17. Went for the interview on Aug 5th 2009 to local USCIS office along with my wife, office was very nice. Officer asked general questions which are on i-485 (like have u been arrested, have you been involved in terrorist activities etc.) form and questions about my wife's name and marriage date etc.. Officer did not ask even for employer verification letter also, I myself handed over that letter to her. She did not even saw that letter.
    18. Dates were not current on Aug 5th 2009, and officer told, she will take a decision after dates are current.
    19. Waited for Sep visa bulletin and dates became current, as my case is at local USCIS office, all attorneys who are the members of AILA will have direct contact to local USCIS office supervisor ph no and email id. These details will not be known to applicants. My attorney sent an hard copy request on Sep 5th 2009 to local USCIS office to adjudicate my case as my PD is current.
    20. Waited until Sep 15th no update was received from Local USCIS office or no update on i-485 LUDs online.
    21. Took info pass on Sep 16th 2009 and went to local USCIS office and got nice Info pass immigration office, very co-operative officer. He told me that my case is now back to central storage location and waiting for the visa no. I told him my PD is current, officer himself gave me an yellow form (please request for this form, otherwise they don’t give it normally) to fill up to send to other department supervisor in local USCIS office. Filled up and gave the form along with my i-485 receipt notices and i-140 notices. Officer asked me to wait 3 to 4 weeks to contact again. No luck until Sep 30th 2009.
    22. On Sep 26th 2009, attorney sent an e-mail to local USCIS office and got the standard response on Oct 1st 2009saying to wait for 3 months etc..Again attorney received an e-mail on Oct 2nd 2009 that my case will be adjudicated soon.
    23.On oct 4th 2009 took info pass again and went to local uscis office, again got nice infopass immigration officer and explained that they will request visa no only once (recently Murthy law firm posted that way USCIS and DOS dept interact) and I need to wait until visa no assigned by DOS. Gave again yellow form to sent to local USCIS supervisor to look into my case.
    24.Called 1-800 number and asked if there was any update on my case, got very very nice supervisor from customer service center, and he told me that my case is now assigned to an officer on Oct 6th and I should see result in 2 or 3 days.
    25Atttorney sent an e-mail again to local USCIS office explaining my PD porting details just to inform officer again.
    26.Got CPO email Friday oct 16th and received courtesy notice of approval i-485 on Diwali day on Oct 17th 2009.

    If the case is at local USCIS and your PD is current, please take info pass every 2 or 3 weeks, and request for yellow form and fill it up and give to info pass officer. This will help to move the case faster if the case is at local USCIS office.

    Overall, please call repeatedly to USCIS cust service to get some good officers and you will really here somany good things from them. What I understood from my exp, that the customer service officers now far far better and good than 6 months back..Really thankful to USCIS for providing good customer service.

    I hope this post helps most of the people whose dates are current....

    I filed a G28 to allow me to represent my wife. I did not use an attorney. If you are filing for more than one person then I think that a G28 is worth it. It is a trivial form.

    !!!!!
    I knew friends in Kaiser who were hired on H1 and got GC through Kaiser..
    How the hell can they justify filing new GCs, but not accepting EAD!?

    All these requirements are Position Specific. Before publishing externally, most companies (HR) decides the policy first for an example to which kind of person they will hire for this position like " We will not consider H1 for this position" seeing the "Critical and essential need of "blah " blah"..." And they then follow it. So it may happen that one person gets an answer " We do not consider EAD holder for this position.." and next month you may meet somebody (EAD Holder) working for that company on EAD but for different position as company made apolicy to hire EAD holder for that particular kind of position.

    It is possible to use your new approved 140(EB2). Your date are current and do request USCIS and go in front of GC line. Good luck.

    You can request USCIS with reference to this citation/pdf.

    http://www.ilw.com/lawyers/seminars/august2002_citation2c.pdf

    Please make a token contribution to IV.

    I have applied my I485 and EAD based on EB3, I have received EAD for me and my wife, in parallel I had also applied for I140 based on my EB2 application. Now my I140 has been approved for EB2 and PD is current for EB2. I was wondering if there is any way that I can get my I485 transferred to EB2 and how can I get it done...
    Could someone please suggest...
    Thanks in advance

    I have the same question as I think, it is not possible. How can you re-apply for the same job you are in currently, in EB2?

    Yes you can -when you were eligible for the EB2 filing at the time of filing for EB3!

    Why would someone do that u ask? Please call my employer and ask him this question. The answer is - so that you are stuck with him for few more years.

    There are 37275 applications with PD of 2004 or earlier. Can we make an assumption that about 20 to 30% of these would try to port once economy turns around in the next 18 to 24 months? How will this impact wait time for a EB2 with PD Jan 2006?

    I am really disappointed in the info provided via the foia effort. It told me that there are only 4118 applications before me. 4118 vs 28074. Worst kind of sick joke.

    Based on the PD on my 140 Approval Notice (May-2004) there are 28074 applications before me. This is the correct date.
    Based on the PD on my 485 Interview Notice (Aug-2007) there are 53192 applications before me.

    I do not know how my application was counted when the data was put together.
    How come you have two PD's ? are you refering to RD ?

    If your Notice date is in Sept 2007, we need to wait for our turn. Look for the NOTICE DATE on your 485 application.

    Dear Sirs/Madams,

    Good morning!! With reference to your previous e mail talking about "living in US for 5 years, pay taxes and get a green card". Also, " living in US for 10 years get a citizenship". It reminds me that a few days ago, from the other forum, I see someone talking about the bill "HR264", there is several items in this bill. However, there is only one section in this bill mentioned about "granting green card to people who have stayed in US for 5 years or more". I do believe the chance to pass this bill is very very small because right now the economic recession is so deep that no one knows when it will be recovered.

    Also, I know some people who have won the diversity visa lottery and get the immigrant visa to US to be the permanent resident and then stayed in US for another 5 years and get the citizenship.

    But some people (for example like my situation) who have stayed in US and fully paid foreign student tuition fees as a foreign student for 10 years (6 years in several degrees then graduate and then back home and then come back to US to study another advanced degree for 4 years and total 10 years as foreign student) still cannot get the green card. After I finish my doctorate degree, I got a company sponsored me the H-1B visa but the quota is full and I pack all things back to my home country until now. So I just wonder when will "granting green card to people who have stayed in US for 5 years"and whether it will be true!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    I wonder whether this 5 years only for people who have worked here for 5 years in
    H-1B visa or not?????????

    Good luck to all of you and thanks for everyone's attention!!

    Sad to see how much you had to struggle, but I know and I'm one of them who are here for close to 10 years and paid taxes etc.. If 100,000 of us make the right noise, then we may be heard.
    As someone here is saying, following a GC step before Citizenship makes BS to me. You have done whats needed to be a citizen (dont go by the book, doesnt even appear there is one). They have delayed it for no fault of applicants. So this is the way to correct it.
    Lets say I am 10th grade student who invented a cure for cancer. Will you oppose if MIT gives me a hon. Doctorate. That may be an extreme example but what we are asking for is something much smaller and well-deserved. After 10-15 years, the only rule should be to look at the paystubs and criminal record. Not which company you worked for or how much you were **ed by X employer. The case must just be yours independent on any employer. PERIOD.
    Current economic situation.. SHOW how you can contribute. There is something called timing,. so THIS is the timing to ask for Citizenship so that you can BUY HOUSES AND START COMPANIES.. and thats how you help America to come out of this.

    You are trying to say I can sign an application then mail it with just fee. You think they will accept without any Initial Evidence. I know about them relaxing condition on Medical. When did they relax it for all other Initial Evidence as well.

    Not this time. USCIS clearly mentioned that Completed application with Signatures, Correct Fees should be sufficient. They are even accepting without medicals.
