Does this mean filing I485 without PD current is a non-starter?

I am sorry you feel like that about IV core. I am not a CORE member so I can't speak for them but if you have spent a basic amount of time following and more importantly taking part in IV initiatives you would not have "decided" that IV is promoting "EB2" agenda simply because there is no such agenda.
I am sure you noticed this but if not, this is a free speech and membership forum and IV is not made up by pappu or paskal but each and every one who tries to make some difference by participating in the action items.
If you think that there needs to be IV initiatives that better suit your needs, you know what...lead it...set up action items....organize like minded folks. IV is setup for that. It is easy to just point fingers and put out statements based on your negative perception, if you really feel so bad about this phantom EB2 agenda, how about doing something constructive through IV.
Yes, what I posted was meant to be hard,
ask a EB3 person if he was happy when EB3 was available and Eb2 was not.
Did any one try to justify the reason why EB2 was UNAVAILABLE? No.
Did anyone here feel unhappy that EB2 moved so nicely? No.
Then why are we not seeing a single post from anyone which says we as aspiring immigrants are not being failrly dealt with when EB3 did not move with EB2.
Instead we see posts about why EB3 is not moving and explanation of reasons behind it.
Is there a hidden agenda here, NO. Not from IV, am i trying to prove something like that? I dont think so.

I initially posted below text to reply another thread, but the title is not much relavant. So I decided to create a new thread here:
As a background, the pre-application of AOS (file 485 without PD being current) is mentioned in a DHS newsletter here (credit goes to kate123 for finding it).
http://www.dhs.gov/ynews/releases/pr_1233353528835.shtm
Here is the text:
Legal Immigration Benefit Backlogs. What progress has been made in reducing the significant backlogs that had developed in the adjudication of naturalization petitions and adjustment of status (green card) applications? Which regional offices still lag behind in making progress toward target processing times, and what specific steps are recommended for providing priority resources to those offices?
Please provide an assessment of information-sharing with the Department of State’s Bureau of Consular Affairs on projected adjustment caseloads, to be used by that Bureau in setting each month’s cutoff dates on waiting lists for immigration categories that are limited by a yearly quota. What steps have been taken and what further steps are recommended to make sure that the full quota of permanent immigration spaces is used each fiscal year? What regulatory or legislative changes (including a possible pre-application filing procedure for adjustment cases) are recommended to facilitate caseload planning and make optimum use of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services adjudication capacity?
This is a great finding I've read that page, but never noticed the Secretary of DHS specifically mentioned Pre-Application of AOS. Now that they do have this in their mind, can we start working on that? I'd love to share a few thoughts I have on it:
From the lessons we learnt from the past, the most important thing for this admin fix to fly is compromise: there must be kind of restriction for the pre-application AOS. A few examples I could think of are:
- The person has been in the country LEGALLY for more than a number of years, OR
- The PD are more than a certain number years old, OR
- I-140 has been approved, OR
- Must have MS or higher for a US college (just for argument's sake, please don't flame me).
The key is to not allow everyone to file pre-application or it'll be drown in a media storm and draw backfires. Yet it gives you a certain promise that you'll be able to file pre-application once you are here for a certain period of time, so everyone has hope and those who has suffered more would have an almost certain chance to do so.
IV core, should we work on this? This is the first time we see pre-application of AOS appears in official file and I believe it's a great opportunity.

Can you throw some light... I am scared. Looks like you got some insider info.
Not insider information but I do have access to a lot of rfe's and issues that are going on in the EB community:
USCIS revoking approved I-140's
USCIS adding up all 140's together and asking companies to prove ability to pay for all candidates together
department of labor auditing just about every eb2 labor
vermont and california service center giving very difficult rfe's to h-1b's - change of employers and extensions (they are actually denying them to)
Consulates sending complaints to department of labor when h-4 goes for visa stamping and they see primary hasn't received paystubs from entry into usa
companies closing down because fines/penalties from department of labor are too much.
random visits from department of labor and ICE to employee homes
IRS auditing per diems
It really seems that the government is making a concerted effort in giving the employers and employees a very difficult time. Started getting tough in 2004 but have really ramped it up a notch in last nine months.

Canada and Australia are good backup options. You want to apply for one of these countries as a backup while waiting for your GC.
going by the current EB 3 india scenario,I think canada and australia seem to be good 1st and 2nd options respectively and I will keep US GC as the last option as it looks more far fetched than the other two.

Logiclife - Me and my Attorney - had some email exchanges about all this stuff and she compliments all that IV has done and says we must educate people about advocacy
Maybe we should start with organizing some small events/seminars to spread awareness on what can be done and how important advocacy is, most people think that it does not make a difference. We could rope in local organizations

Hi,
I came in Jan 07 on F1. I got my H1-B in Apr 07, but is effective Oct 1, 07. My school, NJIT, starts on Sept 1, 07. If I have to maintain a full-time student status from Sept 1 to Sept 30 then I have to pay $5,000. If I have to maintain a full-time student status from Sept 1 to Sept 17 then I have to pay $1,200.
Please let me know
1> Will it be problem if I don't take any course in Sept i.e. I am not a full time student during Sept.?
2> If it is problem then will it be problem if I drop courses on Sept. 17? What will be my status for 13 days from Sept 18 to Sept 30?
3> Is there any college in NJ/NY area which starts in Oct so that I can transfer to that college and maintain my full time status till Sept 30?
4> Any other suggestions about what I can do?
My employer has suggested not to go to India and go through H1-B stamping.
Thanks.

Is it not all about the bottomline?
Can any one of you as a single person make a difference? NO
Can WE as a group make a difference? YES and we have proved that.
Are WE focused as a group? Yes. In its entirety? No, and we will probably never be since we are a group.
This mess was not created by the guy with a PD of 2007 but by USCIS. So, you can hate USCIS all you want but what did the guy with PD2007 do. He just got lucky. He got lucky, plain and simple. Why should anybody feel bad about someone else's luck?
Come on guys, at least some of us are seeing the end of the light. Don't think I am PD 2007. My PD is Dec 2003. This is my fourth employer I am pursuing my GC with. I started working in 1997 and my first labor was filed in 1997. For various reasons I had to switch. I have seen all different cases. People who came in 2004 and got their GC by 2005. Is it fair? No, but it isn't the guy's fault. It is USCIS's and that's what we are trying to change. One issue at a time.
This was a can't miss opportunity caused by the USCIS foul-up. Nobody could miss out on pursuing this. Now that we are done with that, I am sure core will focus on other important issues like BEC victims etc.
Hope that helps. Peace!

I think SKIL/CIR etc are all carrots for the "would be" immigrants to slog their ass off - ultimately, American Congress will only do something if
A. There is enough pressure from Business community to enact a change.
B. Persistent efforts by organization like Immigration Voice in educating the lawmakers and using lobbyists like QG&A to get our voices heard.
We have a legitimate cause but we have to use the right "modus operandi". We need each of the members of IV to go back and talk to their HR/Legal/Managers/VPs/CIOs etc to ensure that our voices are heard. Immigration Voice needs corporate backing and you can help here - make your employers aware of Immigration Voice and retrogression. Ask your employers to contact the Congressmen and Senators of your state on your behalf.
We need a legislative reform and the only way to achieve it is to make your voices heard and your opinion count.

Ok,
so the the US lists, the catagories as Mexico, India, china, and the philpines.
that is 4 counties..... with what ever percentage of the total visas..
But ROW the rest of the world.....how many countries is that???? i am guessing lots... i personally am only conserned with the UK as that is where i am at the moment. so how do i go about finding the number of visa's that the UK is aloted per year? in EB catagories.
because i dont see how if say Germay, or Italy used up all there visas for the year, but the rest of the world hadent, or even half and half....how can the entire of the rest of the world be retrogressed.??? is there not a list of how indervidual countries are retrogressed....? if this is stupid please say though, but i think it is quite a valid question.

What has profitable shops like Walmart or a cable company or a gas station got to do with the so called non-profitable organization like IV - R u a retard?
My greatest friend buddyinsfo, where were you for so long. I missed you all this time. How are things going man. How r the kids doing? I miss you on this forum buddy, you got to show up often, please.
You jerk, EVERY non profit need resources to "DO" stuff. EVERY non-profit has to have a revenue stream of some sort. Just because its a "non-profit" doesn't mean that everyone will give or do stuff free for a non-profit. Is that so difficult to understand for a "highly educated"/"highly skilled" immigrant such as yourself? The bandwidth you used to write your post for the audience of the world wide web, that was paid for by my hard earned $$$$. You want this group of folks to do stuff but you don't want to part with a dime. Nice.
But hey, who cares, lets get back to our favorite topic - complain about someone about something, shall we. Lets blame someone and vent out my frustration before I go to bed. If nothing else, it will be therapeutic. Idiot.

H1bslave,
Are uou IT manager or working in non IT field. If you are in IT and non manager then doors are closed for you to go to Canada.
If you have plans of doing an MBA in future, then Canada would be a better option than US. Otherwise as uma001 points out, doors are closed for most professions except 38 occupations.
H1bslave, in your case your PD is Sep 5 EB2. I see something in the distant horizon. PD of 2007 and beyond or EB3-India I see no hope.
Atleast you can survive on a lifeboat called EAD and AC21.
