What is the relationship of 480K to 366K = 140K (EB) + 226 (FS)?
Very interesting that FS (EB) can capture EB (FS) but can not capture FS (EB)!
Worldwide Limits
(a) FS Preference Limitation:
The overall ceiling for relatives is 480,000, from which the previous year's total of immediate relatives and other family classes which are exempt from the numerical ceiling are deducted to determine the level of family-based preference immigration. Although the difference could be greater or less than 226,000, that figure is established as a minimum for the FS preference immigrant limitation.
Specifically, if such family-related numerically-exempt immigrants and parolees are fewer than 254,000, the family-sponsored preferences will be entitled to more than 226,000 in the following fiscal year. On the other hand, if such family-related numerically-exempt immigrants and parolees exceed 254,000, the FS preferences are still provided at least 226,000 numbers by virtue of the minimum annual limit assured by Sec. 201(c).

I think it will be based on the receipt date because if we look at the Service Center Processing Dates, they mention "Now Processing Cases with Receipt Notice Date of".
Any suggestions??

It's call reseach topic.. We have to find some USCIS support documents for each case. We need some earlier USCIS decisions for each senarios/theories.
RG provided few supporting CIS rules in earlier post and seems logical. But not sure if RG or RK is right.
It's confusing indeed.
My blog is based on RK's opinion. But we need some research and we also need clarification from USCIS.
If AOS is denied erroniously, one MUST be allowed to work - because it is not our fault.
Personallyif I can't work because it is not my fault, I am in trouble because I have a family to manage and a small kid to take care of.

2009 is VERY OPTIMISTIC. Why would a new administration take up "touchy" issue like immigration in its 1st year (2009)? Least we can expect is 2010 IF NOTHING HAPPENS BY MID NOVEMBER - Congress goes to recess for the year.The window of opportunity is short!
Hahaha! It sounds that you're really mad though! I am optimistic that I'll get my GC next year! No need to wait for 2009!
Unusual and unjustified optimism is the hallmark of great leaders and delusional fools. :)
Don't want to get political on this forum, but you probably know the consequences in the context of the current state of world affairs.
hypophobia: While many people today are plagued with excessive fear and anxiety it seems that there are others who have too little anxiety, a condition which has been termed "hypophobia" (1, 2 (http://www.chester.ac.uk/%7Esjlewis/DM/TEXTS/TEXT2.HTM), 3 (http://www-personal.umich.edu/%7Enesse/Articles/TestEvolHypsMentDisord-1999.PDF), 4 (http://clawww.lmu.edu/faculty/tshanahan/DarMed.html), 8 (http://psych.unn.ac.uk/pdf/beh_res_prep/br_poulton.pdf)). Since anxiety is a defensive or adaptive emotion which serves to protect us from dangers (see Darwinian Medicine (http://www.holistichealthtopics.com/HMG/adapt.html)), those who lack such normal fears may fail to perceive the dangers which confront them everyday. Such people may be seen as foolhardy or risk takers since they lack the normal inhibitory fears which serve to prevent excessive risk taking. It is for this reason that the frequently unrecognised hypophobia may be a rather dangerous condition. As has been noted by Nesse (5 (http://www-personal.umich.edu/%7Enesse/Articles/WhatDarMedOffersPsychiatry-1999.pdf)), "too little anxiety may be worse than too much."

And the situation prior to surge wasnt any better either. I remember in 2006, the PD for India EB3 was April 2001 and now its Nov 2001. :mad:
This was directed to people who were current. If you are from India, China, Mexico, Philippines, get used to waiting. Your backlog is due to numerical limits. And this won't change (the way I see it)

If you are beyond 6 years and I-485 denied then applicant is doomed weather you are in H1 or EAD. Only route is MTR. My attorney confirmed it.
She suggest unless MTR get open. You should not even work to avoid the issues.
So it does depend attorney to attorney. I don't think we have any case examples in either senarios. So bottom-line, do whatever you feel correct and make you happy. :)
Personally, I think RG is seems more logical. If you use EAD your H1 becomes invalid. No one revokes but it happens. Similarly, H1 becomes invalid as underline petition get denied.
Read on some other thread: Only reason why H1B doesn't get revoked immediately post 6 years is not having a full-proof integrated system, and such system may soon be here. I will post any link if I find this again.

Just wanted to know your thoughts on this. CNN has launched the first ever cnn-youtube debate and the deadline to submit videos is 7/22.. Users have to basically upload their questions on youtube and some of these questions will be selected and democratic presidential candidates will have to answer these questions.
I know its kinda late, but why not upload videos on youtube asking questions about legal immigration to the candidates? i think it will be a great way of bringing out our problems further in the mainstream... if you think this is a good idea, we may have to act on it fast... we dont have much time.

I'm a great believer in Gandhi's beliefs.
They're not applicable in this situation however.
You need to hunger-strike when your lawmakers don't listen to you when you have no representation.
Here, lawmakers will listen if you know how to lobby.
A lot of people try to copy Gandhi's actions literally. Copy the philosopy if you must, not the direct actions.

In the past, we have sent emails and webfaxes to senators only to get canned- pre typed responses. Recently, I have realised that senators favour written letters, posted (with postage stamp) especially if it comes from constituents from their state. Same with house reps. I have talked to my senator's staff and they have advised me to write a letter. The staff member said, letters are always read, and responded.
Senator will send an inquiry to the appropriate agency. This will create an impact, if all of us write letters. I have written a letter about USCIS Visa- flip flop to my senators.

Not sure about which bank would be good but whichever bank you choose make sure that they give you a statement of how much interest you paid over the year. Most people don't realize that you can deduct interest paid for a home loan in India is tax deductible in the US. Just FYI.
You mentioned "you can deduct interest paid for a home loan in India is tax deductible in the US." Can you explain how? Is there any one some one you know or you claimed this before?
Thanks.

Good they have seem to have read recently published IV analysis and recommendations and provided a much more detailed bulletin this month for the community.
agreed. kudos to IV core to push for more detailed explanations without which proposals for fixing this backlog also becomes difficult.

Thanks for the information. Bills come and go every year, hard to count how many we have seen go up in the air in the last 3 years.
We are talking about HR 5882,5921 and 6039. Very few people are working very hard to take all of us a step ahead with the GC process and we have lots of hope and we also have direction. Please check with your state chapter lead for latest updates.

In VA can we extend Driving License with receipt notice of h1 extension .
Hi Virtual55,
I check with one of the DMVs in VA and they are not ready to accept the receipt notice, instead they very clearly are expecting a 797 approval notice.
Let me know if you have any advice to handle this situation.

Yeah right . You dont mean to offend by being sarcastic. Why are you in US? Go take care of your old parents in India? More than your money they need your physical presence there.
Oh wait, you probably have a brother who did not study much or maybe a sister in India who is taking care of them and you only provide monetory support.
And yes, I dont care if this offends you.
Oh yeah, thank you for revealing your true self. You couldnt have done it better!
Way to go, dude/dudette!
