Biographic Information. Please read the form and the instructions in the www.uscis.gov (http://www.uscis.gov)web site. Good night.
Why do we need 325A?- i thought this was for people in illegal status. Our son entered the US on valid H4 visa. Also do we need to request in application to attach the file to mother or anything like that. I will give the USCIS a call and share that information here if I find anything more.
thanks

The only thing I can tell is most of us are trying to search "light" from this "black and dark cloud". USCIS does not seem to be agree with what you are saying. Please have this trend chart and the worksheet in this thread together and then you will realize what we all are saying.:)
Trend chart doesnt give you shit...its just an overall count
I am referring to the PDF report - which clearly mentions that the numbers are for pending Employment based 485 applications. And yet people refer to this report and ask stupid questions or over-analyze it...

Bush deems guest workers key for economy
By Joseph Curl and Stephen Dinan
The Washington Times, February 1, 2006
http://www.washtimes.com/national/20060201-120444-3544r.htm
President Bush last night called for 'stronger immigration enforcement and border protection' even as he told Congress to move forward with his plan to create a guest-worker program to fill jobs that no Americans want.
He also seemed to challenge those in his party who oppose a guest-worker program, saying the nation needs immigrants.
'We hear claims that immigrants are somehow bad for the economy -- even though this economy could not function without them,' Mr. Bush said in his State of the Union address.
The only way to keep the United States competitive is to create an immigration system that 'upholds our laws, reflects our values and serves the interests of our economy,' he said.
'Our nation needs orderly and secure borders. To meet this goal, we must have stronger immigration enforcement and border protection,' Mr. Bush said. 'And we must have a rational, humane guest-worker program that rejects amnesty, allows temporary jobs for people who seek them legally and reduces smuggling and crime at the border.'
The president pushed for his guest-worker plan in his past two State of the Union addresses as a way to help employers, but this year his focus on border security and immigration enforcement was much clearer.
'There has been continual movement on his part because he recognizes the Congress and the American people aren't with him, and we're going to fight him,' said Rep. Tom Tancredo, Colorado Republican.
He and other Republicans took issue with Mr. Bush for not differentiating between legal immigrants and illegal aliens when he said the economy could not work without immigrants.
Rep. Lamar Smith, Texas Republican, said U.S. workers would be hurt by a guest-worker program.
'Studies show that competition from cheap foreign labor depresses wages and takes jobs away from American citizens and legal immigrants alike,' Mr. Smith said.
He also said Mr. Bush's plan is unenforceable, because those here illegally cannot be expected to return to their home countries voluntarily.
In the official Democratic response to the State of the Union, Virginia Gov. Timothy M. Kaine said Mr. Bush does not have a rational immigration policy and that the result is a 'confusing patchwork' for states and localities to handle.
He shied away from a specific call for a path to citizenship for illegal aliens, even though most party leaders in Washington have endorsed that.
'We should welcome those who seek to lawfully join and contribute to our American family,' Mr. Kaine said. 'At the same time, we must ensure that our homeland-defense efforts begin with consistent federal action to protect our borders.'
In the Spanish-language Democratic response, Los Angeles Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa specifically called for 'comprehensive immigration reform' and for giving 'hardworking people who play by the rules a greater opportunity to realize the American dream.'
Sen. John Cornyn, Texas Republican, said Mr. Bush was right to call for action on the border and for his guest-worker plan.
'The bill I've introduced strengthens our border enforcement and comprehensively reforms our immigration system,' Mr. Cornyn said. 'We need both stronger enforcement and reasonable reform of our immigration laws.'

Hello all
I am a silent visitor of this website.
Just my 2 cents... Don't think USA is like India where you can do something forcefully. Why don't you guys understand the real problem of USCIS.
Do you think that by sending flower to USCIS will force them to make EB2/EB3 current for 2005/2006/2007 guys??
Please try to understand their problem.
Also India is the great. Why don't you guys just think that India is your home country where you are born and brought up. Why you people can't just wait and watch?? If nothing happens to the so called GC, then why don't you think to pack up and go back to India???????
My sincere request, please don't do rally, you might be arrested......you never know what they can do..... Don't you think that, it is better to go back to India rather than being embarrassed here in US???
Isn't it a shame on us to go for Rally to get GC?????:D
Just think that you will get it when time comes, otherwise pack up.
Please don't take much tension as life is very short. I am assuring you all, nothing will happen with law suit and flower campaign.Don't irritate USCIS by doing all this please.

Hi,
I was scheduled to travel outside US this summer for about 3 months. Then dates move past my PD and I have to apply for 485 in june. I have discussed these with the lawyer and want to confirm what she is telling me:
1) I have to be in the country to apply for 485.
2) FP notice will likely arrive in 3-4 weeks. But we have 84 days to reschedule this if needed.
3) I was not planning on applying for EAD/AP at this time. However, she says that if I leave the country on H1, and 485 is approved while I am out of the country (HIGHLY unlikely but still possible), then I cannot come back into the country unless I have an AP. (This is the point that I mainly need clarification on!)
4) If I DO apply for EAD/AP then I cannot leave the country until they are approved.
5) Finally she cannot give me a timeline for how long EAD/AP would take. The service centers processing times show that they are currently processing Jan cases. Which means at least 4 months wait after applying for EAD/AP.
Does any one know if any of the first four points are wrong. If so, what is your knowledge about the point that is wrong. Also, does anyone have any idea on point 5 (i.e. how long it is taking for EAD and/or AP these days).
If you have any information, please respond ASAP, so that I can determine the best course of action before filing for 485.

Seems like SR works!!! Finally something that works!!!
My only confusion now is my application status - "On August 13, 2010, we mailed you a notice that we had registered this customer's new permanent resident status. Please follow any instructions on the notice. Your new permanent resident card should be mailed within 60 days following this registration or after you complete any ADIT processing referred to in the welcome notice, whichever is later."
I do not know what ADIT means? Did anyone get similar response? What are the next steps from here in your experience? Thank you for the help in advance.

I received a response from the ombudsman. I am not sure if our issue is properly understood by his office. When we write about AC21 issues, the response talks about I-140 delays. Gurus, please help me understand the contents of the response below:
Dear xxxxxxxxx:
Thank you for your recent correspondence to the Office of the Citizenship and Immigration Services Ombudsman (CIS Ombudsman). I appreciate your comments regarding I-140 processing at the Service Centers. We are well aware of the processing delays at all of the Service Centers and the AC21 issues created by these delays. USCIS has taken steps to address the processing delays, but their efforts have not come about swiftly. We have received several inquiries such as yours and are very concerned. We are currently discussing these issues with USCIS and continuing to review their policies and procedures concerning these petitions. Hopefully we will soon be able to help USCIS with a recommendation to address the I-140 delays and AC21 problems.
Generally, we do not accept case problems presented by emails. Under the authority of the Homeland Security Act of 2002, the CIS Ombudsman assists individuals and employers who experience specific problems during the USCIS benefits seeking process, largely to identify problems and to formulate recommendations to improve the USCIS service. Please see our website for more information about the CIS Ombudsman (www.dhs.gov/cisombudsman/). If you have an individual case problem, please follow the instructions outlined at the website.
I believe that first hand information from individuals like you is the best source for identifying systemic problems in the immigration benefits process. My office will consider the information you provided as we develop recommendations to improve USCIS� practices and procedures.
Once again, thank you for taking the time to contact my office, and for giving me the opportunity to serve you. I look forward to the day when I can report that the work of this office has been accomplished because our vision of a world-class immigration benefits system has been achieved. Your contribution takes us a step closer to reaching this goal.

Sathesh,
According to the below websites, seems it is the Immigrant's Final application and processing fee(and seems like your immigrant visa has been approved by USCIS*** according to http://www.americanlaw.com/consul_iv.html
"In April of 1994, DOS opened the NVC, a permanent immigrant visa processing facility in Portsmouth, NH. NVC processes all approved immigrant petitions that it receives from USCIS. NVC will retain the petitions until the cases are ready for adjudication by a consular officer abroad. When an applicant's case is about to become current, the petition is forwarded to the appropriate U.S. embassy or consulate overseas. " ***
