My application was finally approved yesterday after almost 7 years in queue. Here is the sequence of events right before the approval.
RFE email on 02/13/09
2nd Biometrics Notice received on 02/17/09
Lawyer receives RFE for EVL, EAD cards and Marriage Certificate on 02/24/09
Completed Code 3 Biometrics on 02/26/09
Soft LUD immediately after Biometrics on 02/26/09
USCIS receives RFE reply on 02/27/09, Hard LUD and email on the same day
Another soft LUD on 03/02/09
CPO email on 03/10/09
Welcome email on 03/10/09
My PD has been current for a long time, but my application had not been touched and then suddenly USCIS became a model of efficiency. I am sure they are opening applications and approving or RFE'ing all they can. Hang in there guys.
Congrats !
Happy to see another free bird flying off USCIS cage.

Don't just blurt something out of frustration without thinking twice before hitting the "Submit" button. We are all frustrated here when it comes to GC processing. In that sense we are all in the SAME BOAT. Be specific about the point you are trying to make instead of blanketing all H1B and GC aspirants so that its not confusing or misleading to others.
Well,If you think that it was a cheap attempt, then i belive you need tutoring in english first, i would have appreciated if you would have read the full documents first, if you are not in the same boat as others doesnot means that others are not, there are still many H1 holders whose spouse doesnot have a SSN and only ITIN, and i am not over or below quoting the statement made by IRS.
Please think twice before issuing any statements.
P.S- Thanks for Pointing that Title of a Thread is for writing autobiographies, I will keep that in mind,when you are around. :-)

Mandamus is a case where plaintiff is trying to force a government official to perform his/her duty. It's being used when a case is delayed beyond reasonable time frame. See more details here:
http://www.ailf.org/lac/pa/lac_pa_081505.pdf
Wrongful denial is disputed based on the Administrative Procedures Act (�the APA�)
The APA allows reversal of agency action that is �arbitrary, capricious, an abuse of discretion, or otherwise not in accordance with law.� 5 U.S.C. � 706(2)(A).
Generally, you cannod dispute I-485 denial unless denial was based on wrong intepretation of applicant's eligibility for AOS. See, e.g. Sepulveda v. Gonzales, 407 F.3d 59, 62-63 (2d Cir. 2005)
http://www.ca2.uscourts.gov/decisions/isysquery/76407587-1ac2-4692-9a3e-f644d7d5045b/13/doc/03-40643_opn.pdf
Immigration litigation attorney should be able to help, but it's fairly simple to do on your own as well.
this is extremely useful information. Can you please update IV Wiki, when you get a chance ? www.immigrationvoice.com/wiki

The numbers are assumptions and NOT facts. Most of these numbers have actually been pulled from other places or based on some rationale (for example 750,000 from Matthew Oh site, 5 minutes/EAD based on what need to be done to print out a card and pack in an envelop)
Workforce of 30 though is a gross assumption. Bigger the number better it is. So we may actually want to question USCIS if there are any resource constraints.
Outsourcing is a perfect Idea! What do you have in mind Wipro at Banglore? :D
What about bringing on H1B fresh graduates as Visa Processing Experts with a two days of Boot Camp Training? Anyway, we are forgetting that USCIS processed 25000 applications in 2 days. Please do not undermine efficiency we have seen in last days -- with that rate, I expect everything to get cleared in few weeks. If improved productivity is maintained/sustained to this level, I do not see any chance for outsourcing or bring H1B guys to this country. Best luck America!

This loss of visas is due to:
gaps in USCIS� accounting of cases;
USCIS not processing enough pending applications in a timely manner; and
the imprecise art of predicting workflows and demand surges at three federal agencies:
Department of Labor (DOL) (approves labor certifications);
USCIS (processes immigration petitions after completion of labor certifications and processes green card applications for applicants in the United States); and
DOS (establishes priority dates and processes immigrant visas from applicants outside the United States).

Not sure if something is cooking at USCIS, last week an USCIS office called my attroney to get clarification on why we (my wife and I) are residing at separate addresses. We are in the process of relocation (company moved), my wife chose to continue her employment while she's searching for opportunities in the new location. The officer stated that they are trying to adjudicate the cases ASAP, hence he's inquiring to ensure there isnt any marriage fraud. My attorney responsed back will all the possible evidence to proved we are together.
Has anyone had a similar experience.
My PD: Aug 2004
Cat: EB3 India.
A soft LUD today 03/04 on my/wife's I-485 application.
I see lot of cases of EB2-I with PDs of 2005/06 and EB3- I with PDs 2003/04 have recentely received LUDs/RFEs.
Let's wait what next visa bulletin says !
Any one else with recent LUDs on their I-485s ?

I believe that small companies have a big impact too. As someone mentioned, check to see which companies filed GCs in the last 10 years....Infy, TCS or Small body shops?
The notion of H1/L1B is the business not able to find any qualified or willing resource locally. In that case why they are not able/willing to file GC for those guys. Since they want to keep them as slaves...they never file.

Couple more days left on this phone campaign. Please flood the GOP senate offices with phone calls asking them to support the CIR framework.
They need to hear from us (the other side of the coin), to believe that there are people in their constituency that want these changes/reforms.....

It is 2.25 pm and I still can't access the webcast. It was working fine 1h ago or so...
Now why would they start the webcast for you at 2:25 when the scheduled hearing is at 2:30.

was ur first MTR denied in error?
as per you, your I-140 was never denied.
My I-140 was never denied. In fact the date 09/04/2007 that NSC mentions about the denial is the date that I got approval notice. I have the approval copy from USCIS. I am not sure what the adjudicating officer is looking on his terminal.

I checked CIS procedure in the following site: http://www.imminfo.com/resources/cissop.html
According to the procedures, until they enter data into their central sytem, it seems it's pretty tough to say that they intervene somewhere and sort out by PD. Section 6: Workload Distribution might be the key to answer our questions, but the section is missing.
So they enter the applications in the order they're received, and each application is given an "RD." The "RD" indeed plays a role in the adjudication: https://egov.uscis.gov/cris/jsps/Processtimes.jsp?SeviceCenter=NSC
I wish I got an answer from someone in CIS.

Hello Rameshk75,
Thank you very much for your reply. It gave me a mental peace. Do anyone believe if I go to the local office on next tuesday they will do something for me ?
i don't think going to local office is going to help. be patient you should get it. In my case it took almost 4 weeks since it got approved to physically receive AP. Although I don't know how long my lawyer held it prior to mailing it to me.
