Will calling J Barret help? I don't think so. But if you take him to the court as responsbile for not producing your application on time and consequential losses, he/she might. But don't try to be the judge who lost pants at drycleaners

My husband's EB2 Dec 2003 I-485 is at NSC and has been pending. Called customer service using POJ method and got an answer that the application is assigned to IO.
We have replied to RFE two months ago.
Can anyone guess how long it usually takes for IO to actually look at it and approve.
Does it help to file DHS form 7001 or contacting congressman at this point.
Thanks

Folks, first of all don't try to slam me for posting this.. Here is a note that I got from my law firm Paul Hastings.. I am subscribed to their immigration related email.. I got this today.. While this has come as a shock to me, they are still preparing to file my I485.. I did not hear this from my lawyer personally, but only through this newsletter. I will speak to them about this first thing monday morning. Please read the note entirely.. Has anybody else heard about this..
Update on Adjustment Filings for July
Yesterday, we distributed a Client Alert reporting widespread concern as to the accuracy of the Department of State's (DOS) Visa Bulletin for July 2007 and indicating the possibility that United States Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) may potentially not accept adjustment of status filings for all, or a part, of July. Today, multiple reliable sources have indicated that, as early as Monday or Tuesday of next week, the DOS could issue a revised Visa Bulletin for July 2007. Most likely, some or all of the employment-based immigrant visa categories would again retrogress and may become completely unavailable. The practical impact is that USCIS would almost certainly stop accepting adjustment applications for filing if the revised Visa Bulletin indicates that immigrant visa numbers are not available.
This unexpected development would deviate from many years of agency practice. It would be devastating for companies and foreign national employees who have relied, as they are entitled to do, on the July Visa Bulletin and were anticipating the filing of adjustments throughout the month of July. We have initiated a concerted effort to aggressively address this unprecedented situation through the highest levels of the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) and the DOS. We are joined in this effort by many other organizations, and we are engaging congressional offices for assistance. Many have already agreed to speak with DHS and DOS. We will keep you updated.

After we landed, the passengers were asked to exit the aircraft along with their carry bags. Many of us were puzzled as some of us wanted to catch up with our sleep. Reluctantly everyone had to leave the aircraft. Someone was saying there is another aircraft waiting to take us to India. Makes sense, that is why they asked us to take our cabin bags too. After we entered the building we were asked to take the left door. Behind the right door was a waiting room. A couple of turns led us into a corridor which was probably about 1/2 mile long. At the end of the corridor there was security check. Again I was puzzled, why security check now, we are already in a secure area. The transit visa form with those 111 questions suddenly came in front of my eyes. Nothing less than a new complete security check will satisfy these neurotic people. It was time to go thru the exercise again. Took off the shoes, wallet, coins, Jacket, belt, pants .... when I was gently reminder by the security guard that it was not required today. When my turn came to send the items thru the machine, I complained about the fact that I have to put my jacket in a bin that was probably used earlier to keep someone�s shoes. (And you know where the shoes go. And sometimes when it gets wet, it is not necessarily because of water. The thought itself was so revolting that I decided to get my jacket dry-cleaned after I reached India). Needless to say my protest landed on deaf ears. After going thru the security gate, it was time to go thru the final check. I assumed the flying eagle's position and was quickly scanned and cleared. Beyond the security point was the shopping and restaurant area. I was bit thirsty but could not force myself to spend on a bottle of water. I was so put off by this whole experience that I did not want to spend a single cent here. We looked at the monitor to find our gate and quickly proceeded towards it. Again we walked for about half a mile or so. Things looked familiar, but I quickly brushed off the idea. At the gate we presented our credentials and were admitted into the waiting area. Then again I got a sense of d�j� vu. I soon realized it was the same freaking waiting room that I saw earlier and the same aircraft was waiting for us. We needlessly walked for more than a mile, subjected ourselves thru security check. All this for what?
After waiting for an hour we were allowed to go into the aircraft to the same seats and surrounded by the same little pieces of garbage still on the floor. I congratulated myself for not buying the water bottle and looked out of the window to say final goodbye to London. Never again! Never.
Brit's think they are born twice & superior to the world and they can do better job in security checks then Americans....or as a matter of fact then any one else in the world?
I am not saying there shouldn't be any security checks but one thing is not clear or don't understand why do we have to go through security check process when nothing has could have changed in between flight take off from US and landing at Heathrow airport..I feel the possibility of someone getting into flight after its take off is ZERO chance....
What irritates me is when I travel through AIR-INDIA (proud passenger since 2001) stopover at London is right in the middle of night..you will be in deep sleep when it stops in London for fuel refill or some s*$^ we have to get down from plane and go through security check..it's so annoying I don't know when these security checks/stunts will STOP!!

Are you suggesting that no fraud should be reported?
I would say, any fraud, whether H1/L1/F1, employee related, employer related should be reported? Why should law abiding immigrants/workers pay for those who are committing fraud?
>> 1 in 100 citizen has gone to jail.
Not correct. There are about 260 jail inmates per 100,000 US residents.

Who do you think they will poke fun at? USCIS, Emilio Gonzalez or the people spending thousands of dollars on flowers that wont even reach the office of the intended recipient?
Actually, I'd say (especially for Stewart and Colbert) that they'd be poking fun at the right people

You are right on the approval notice sent - cards sent
1. It took me 5 working days to receive the cards. (3rd status changed to card production ordered and on 11th the cards are in my mail box)
nrk, how long did it take after the status got updated to "Approval Notice Sent" to the cards received by you? I am assuming that "Approval Notice Sent" on 485 is actually mailing the cards out to the applicant. ( That is what happens on 765 (EAD) application all the time).

The thread will not 'die' i guess.
We'll need to resurrect it as we get ready with our plan of actions.
What do you want to say looking at the horrible response in the last 7-8 posts. You posted thrice, I think.
I have created a new thread just now while you updated this thread., It is "Lets start writing to Ms. Zoe etc..".
So please start doing something,.. No need to wait for any action plan.. just keep writing..
I just created that thread with very good content and statistics. I still dont see it come online.. Lets focus on that.
the content in that post is as below:
Zoe's addresses are:
Priority Date : xx/xx/xxxx
District Office
635 North 1st Street, Suite B
San Jose, CA 95112
Telephone (408) 271-8700

Telephone (202) 225-3072
Sub: Legal immigrants Quota Problem: Employment based EB2, EB3
Dear Ms. Zoe,
This is to once again thank you for your continuous efforts in making things move in the legal immigration front.
We would once again thank you and request you to bring HR 5882 to the table and hence help people waiting for so long get immediate relief. We think this is the best time to do it as there are so many waiting in long queues for so long and are unable to buy houses though they are at rock bottom prices now, or change companies as some of us would also like to, and start new companies and jobs. There are very much needed in this time of economic crisis. Applicants in EB3 and EB2 Employment based greencard category are severly backlogged.
The problem is mainly due to country based quotas and wastage of many greencards due to administrative delays over the years, as you know. This can easily be fixed with a simple administrative action and need not need to be done as part of the bigger comprehensive immigration bill. We too need a change.
Below are some statistics and details of the problem, just in case you missed a point.
1. High technology H1-B visas allowed into US = 85,000 H1B per year.
2. H1B quota limit per country = None, quota limits.
3. Greencard eligible candidates = All H1B holders
4. Total Employment Greencards = 145,000 per year.
5. Quota limits for greencards = 7% per country and each family member is counted as 1 visa.
6. H1 holders from India = 30,000 to 40,000 per year.
7. Greencards available for India by quota limits = 2000 – 3000 per year.
8. People waiting in Queues = 37,000 – 38,000 per year.
9. Estimated wait = 10- 15 years per life.
10. Estimated loss of productivity = unlimited.
11. Loss of health and health related issues due to these worries = incalculable.
Consequences:
1. EB3 Employment based category from India is severely backlogged,
2. Number of applicants in Queues waiting to buy house = 300,000
3. Number of applicants in Queues buying a house now = 0.
4. Money spent by applicants on rent per year = $6 billion
5. Number of applicants having Citizen children born in US = 80%
6. Number of applicants unable to start own companies(as they are tied to employer all the time due to greencard sponsorship)
= 30-40%
7. Applicants disappointed and leaving US = 10-15%
8. Applicants planning to come back after retirement who take with them US Citizens who will sponsor them = everybody who is leaving US right now with Citizen kids
9. Burden on social security and healthcare by applicants in point 7 = billions of dollars.
10. Severe pain for everyone wasting time on worries and uncertainity.
11. Many people thinking of returning back, very disappointed.
Solution
Please provide immediate relief. We are still holding our bags in hands even after 5-10 years of playing it by law after applying for greencards. Please respect liberty and freedom and let that happen to legal applicants.
1. Please remove country quotas for greencards immediately to make waiting less for legal employer based EB2/EB3 applicants from India in long queues ALREADY in US for years.
2. This needs No new jobs or Visas. It’s just a simple fix to help bring joy to some legal immigrants and give them freedom to contribute more.
3. Please provide greencards for any legal employment based applicant who lived in US for atleast 5 years and is waiting for more than 5 years and paid taxes and live like a good American Citizen.
4. Please provide Citizenship for anyone who lived in US for 10 years and played by the rules all the time and paid taxes.
5. This will help people buy houses that are so cheap now which will pump in $40 billion even if 50% people buy houses.
6. Construction jobs increase as people start buying houses.
7. Manufacturing and auto industry improves as people start buying cars again due to renewed confidence. Else they continue to adjust with their old cars for now.
8. A fee of $1000-$3000 can be applied for premium processing which can generate $1.5 billion instantly.
9. Stop the distribution of 50000 diversity greencards lottery per year immediately. This is bad in the current times, when people are waiting in legal queues for ever.
10. Issue greencards immediately to anyone who did PhD in US and to Masters Students.. They will be more productive if you help here.
11. Please don’t wait for CIR to have these. This is a small admin fix, no new visas or jobs.
Please let us feel respected for playing by the rules. It will come back to the American people in full gratitude in the form of jobs and renewed vigor.
WE TOO NEED A CHANGE NOW.
A positive action in this regard will be very highly appreciated.
God Bless America!

Maybe FOIA request by IV was one of the main causes for this data to be posted on the USCIS website. USCIS thought that since the cat is out of the bag anyways, why not make the data public as part of the redesign effort of the USCIS website.
If the data provided to IV on the Donor forum matches with that of the USCIS site, there might be some other details in the IV report that can give us a better picture.
